SOUTH SEA BUBBLE OUTDONE How the Great American Foblio W&i Worked t a Finish by Promoters, HUGE FORTUNES FROM WIND ANO WATER Tha lt,fl Slack aad Other Trat am Mera Mad Forlnn Otrr Meat "From rtillln Uraak to Philip obr." Before considering the abuses In over espitalliatlon practiced by the less pictur esque but not lews sordid financier who make the exploitation of railway In and out Of the took market their one business In life. It l well to study the consolidation 'erase, chiefly because It culminated In the formntion of the United State Steel cor poration. In studying the formation of the Iron colossus many things will become apparent -which. If they do not snswer the Block Kamblers' questions In full, should at least help the layman to understand much. Mr. Morgan has been blamed because he Is a man less Interested In the human side of an enterprise, as It were, than In the promotion and financing- of It. Assuredly he Is not the sort of developing- force that, for Instance, Mr. Jumps J. Hill Is. But It Is only fair to point out that Mr. Morgan has not been called upon to upbuild, but to finance; and that part he certainly has done In a big. masterly way. He has his own surgical methods In times of reorgani sation. They are not gentle, but there Is something superbly Impressive about his Imperious self-confidence, begotten of a life time's habits of command and accomplish ment. Very big fees are paid to the surgeon, who cares little for the patient's feeling so long as the patient Is discharged from the hospital cured. With the In creased wealth of the community things undreamed of so late as 1898 became pos sible In 1896 and accomplished In 1900. Mr. Morgan has known his own business facili ties for the disposal of the securities ha has ordered manufactured, and If people bought them at high prices so much the better for him and the worse for them. When a battle Is waged and one side, wins the other must lose. Mr. Morgan cannot add a hundred millions to the fortune left him by his father without the other side the outside, In the Wall street phrase losing. But he Is a great man, a strong man, who loves money less than action and accomplishment. Teadeaey of the Times. The manifest economlo tendency of - the times was toward consolidations, which are but the concentration of productive power, and It Is evident that In union there Is strength as well as economy. Economists said at one time that the formation of this iron and steel octopus sooner or later had to come, just as they tell you now that some day the people must face the Issues created by the new conditions. Tet the facts show that the United States Steel corporation was created not In obedi ence to the "manifest economic tendency of the times," but to prevent an Industrial warfare which would have unsettled senti ment and sent the stock market down; which would have been very bad for Mr. j Morgan's plans. He was busy on schemes affecting the anthracite roads and the Northern Pacific when Andrew Carnegie threatened to build at Conneaut the most complete tube works In the world because one of Mr. Morgan's pet "industrials," the "National Tube" trustlet, waa thinking of discontinuing the purchase of certain Carnegie products. In the midst of the most remarkable prosperity ever enjoyed by this country It looked as if the Iron and ateel producers were about to engage In bitter warfare. ( Birth of the Steel Oefepas. The formation of the United States Steel corporation checked that movement. It has been said that If It should serve no further purpose than to prolong the period of prosperity a couple of years, as It cer tainly has done, it has been worth a billion dollars to the United States. Thus It may be that Mr. Morgan Was helping every business man in the country, but he surely was protecting himself and his enterprises. It was a very serious moment for him and ha was fighting with his bnck to the wall. It will never be known whether Mr. Carnegie deliberately and premedltatedly forced Mr. Morgan to buy him out, but that Mr. Morgan was forced to do so Is not to be questioned. And he paid a huge price. Mr. Carnegie gave an option to II. C. Frlck to sell the entire Caregle plant for fJOO.OOO.OOa The option was not exer cised and as a result came the famous '. "rlck-Camegle suit. This , suit was com promised by Mr. Carnegie forming a new company capitalised at (300.000.000. Two years later Mr. Morgan capitalised It at over $500,000,000, Mr. Carnegie receiving something like $300,000,000 In bonds for his share. To cut off danger from other souroes Mr. Morgan also gathered In the more Important of the "truatlets" that had been formed: Federal Steel, National Steel, American Steel and Wire, American Tin Plate and National Tube. With a capitalisation greater than the public debt of the United Btates, with a productive capacity greater than that of any other nation, the United States Steel corporation, the embodiment of the "Amer ican Peril," the greatest example of the "manifest tendency of the times," was launched on the stock market. Mr. Morgan financed it. How It created fabulous for tunes almost overnight forms the most re markable chapter In our financial history, because In It are found emphasized all the striking features of the present boom. First Chapter la Steel. , Governor Flower, the pioneer, mad a stupendous success of the Federal Steel company. Strictly speaking, this same suc cess was the first chapter of the stock mar ket rplo of steel. He had thrown together a lot of companies, whose stocks were pur chased by the Federal, and the shares of the latter, through his manipulation, be came readily vendible at high prices, whereas the stocks of the constituent com panies had been salable at low figures and with difficulty at that. It was the same article more attractively labeled and freshly varnished with the maglo paint of greed to appeal to the speculative instinct though, to be aure, business was good and rapidly growing better. So shrewd a judge of Industrial value and so consummate a speculator as John W. Gate sold out hla hug block of Federal Sloel very early at about $25 a share because he thought It too high! And yet later the shares sold at $70 and more. Other promoters, including the sagacious Gates, followed Governor Flower's lead. Business men understood the business advantages of combination but promoters were moved by the desire to catch the stock buying public and make lots of money quickly. And so everything was "consolidated" and one after another the "truatlets" came Into existence. They were overcapitalised., of course. The preferred ' Blocks alone more than represented the value of the plants, Including the good will. ana ' discounted the economies and bene Ats arising from conciliation. Tho coin mon stocks were "water" or the so-cailed "possibilities of the future." As time goes on the true value of this lust euphemism la becoming better known to the public. But at the time when everybody wu stock gambling everybody bortf ht to sell out at a profit. The la.mba have not sold yet It i generally assumed althout fear of contradiction that the I'tiiud States Sue' corporation, was "watertd' la Its tnakuig, though Mr. Schwab has sworn that th value of the corporation's property Is what It Is capitalised for. Two years before, Mr. Gates, flushed with the success' of his Steel and Wire trust promotion, had talked of a billion-dollar combination, and there had followed a torrent of warnings against greed-maddened snd success-drunken plunRrrs. He was considered a wild apecu lator then; lie Is now a "financier," and Ms bllllon-dollnr combination is a fart. Three years sgo ho wrts merely premature. Such Is the history of many of the big deals of this boom. When the t'nltd States Steel organisa tion was effected and the stock certificates ready, Mr. Morgan, found himself In the position of a manufacturer with his ware houses full of goods. The market for his goods wss there, but he needed a selling agent. After a mcr.th's deliberation the market conduct of tho new shares was In trusted to James R. Keene, the greatest stock manipulator beyond all question that this country ever had. Mr. Keene found this situation: All the great financial In terests apart from Mr. Morgan's had schemes of their own which necessitated a strong and rising market that. Is, all the brains and all the money of Wall street were working together to that end, for some had had readjustments to make and all had stocks to sell. For all, the co operation of the public was a vital need. The publio had the money to buy securi ties. It waa rich as never before. But the Investment buying though great was grad ual, and therefore too slow to take up the billions of securities that had been manu factured. It was necessary that the public; should be made to buy them, and to that end there must be created a great specu lative demand. Keeae's Woaderfal Campaign. Mr. Keene, for once In his life, found himself backed practically by a billion dol lars. A man who with his own resources. less than a half dozen millions, had in the past caused anxiety to capitalists ten times richer, had no opposition from, the other leaders of speculation. How he planned and worked and astounded his most Intimate friends by the fertility of resource, the In genious strategy, the courage he displayed lit his manipulation of steel stocks, Is a matter of record and remains one of the most wonderful campaigns In Wall street It Is true that everything helped him and thus helped Mr. Morgan. First of all, the cumulative effect of years of uninterrupted prosperity; and then It was easy to get all the drums of publicity to beat for the gi gantic, "epoch-making" corporation. Politi cians, knowing this corporation meant something they had to talk about sooner or later, hesitated as to what stand they ought to take, political economists saw In It the remarkable culmination of a re markable tendency. Producers and con sumers of Iron and steel wondered how it would affect their business. Europe was growing uneasy. The press of every coun try In the world printed long editorials upon the latest and greatest of American ex ploits. As for our newspapers, their ac counts of the Billion-Dollar trust, If clipped and pasted together, would have reached from the earth to Slrius and there would have been enough left for a streamer a million miles long dangling In the mid- spaca void. The public heard nothing but Steel! Steol! Steel! The community had al ready been speculating In stocks. But this waa the last, the grand push, and everybody bought stocks, chiefly ateel. The country had gone wildly enthusiastic over them. Its enthusiasm spelt millions to the creators of the "hydrant-headed monster," as an irreverent Irishman called the Steel corporation. Boostlaa- the Price. Mr. Keen had taken hold of these shares, which had already been traded In on the un official excange, th "Curb Market," when tha common was around $37 and the preferred around $S7. In tha course of a comparatively few weeks he was able to mark up the 'price of each stock fully 15 points which meant an appreciation In the market value of the capital stock of the company of JlW.000,000 In round numbers. Not only this, but and' her Is what should make students of our national wealth ponder in one day, at the height of the boom, Mr. Keene was able to sell In the open market the incredible amount of 800,000 shares of th United States Steel common and preferred stocks, representing over $20,000,0001 And Mr. Keene, acting for Mr. Morgan, was Able to put the price higher, till th preferred sold above $100 and the common as high as $06, because the publio was stock-mad and Mr Keene knew how to utilise the madness. He told me once that he had sold in all, from tha time It was launched to the Northern Pacific panic. In reality but a few weeks, some thing like 750.000 shares! Before the first syn dicate was dissolved It marketed success fully the $200,000,000 of stock it had under written. Tb public took all this. But th publio did more. The party, consisting of Messrs. Held, Leeds and Moore, who had created the Tin Plate, Steel Hoop, National Steel and other concern received a huge block of United States Steel In exchange for their holdings of the constituent com panies' securities. It was current gossip at the time that they received something Preparation for Politics ''"EiJStt'iKwtK I am asked how It Is possible for a young man best to fit himself for entrance into the field of practical politics, and whether any addition to present university courses would help him; also, conceding the neces sity of "machine" politics, how ha can best learn how to deal with them. I will give two or three suggestions which have oc curred to me. In the first place a man. before going Into politics as a career, should ask himself quite candidly whether he Is fitted for it. No man would go Into law or medicine or commerce without this preliminary In- qulry. If the practice of the courts vlo- lated his moral sense, If the sights and sounds of a sick room upset his nervea, or If money-making seemed to him a sordid thing, he would keep out of the profession involved. In like manner a man who ob jects to tha party organisation and the ex istence of party machinery Is unfitted for politics aa a career. He may at times do good as a reformer; but he can hardly ex pect to have a contlnuoua career of publio office. For the political party, whether wa like it or not. has proved a necessity under the American constitution. This constitu tion provides for such a complete separa tion of executive and legislative that each of these powers ran prevent the other from accomplishing anything at all. The party machinery brings the two Into harmony. It is, In nine cases out of ten. the only means of getting any government done. A good man who goes Into politics will recog- nlie the faults of this machine, and will try to improve mem; dui n " uujrr... m Its very existence he will so cripple hla own powers of work that it is wiser for him to find a career In other lines. Amer- lean Dolltlcs Is a game played under definite rules', which, though they greatly need improvment, are. on the whole, the result of experience. Every leading player should try to improve the rules as much as he can; but it a man objects to the game Itself he Is wiser to keep out of It. With regard to preliminary training for Tin who expect to s Into politics after- ward there is not a great deal to be said, The methods of getting into politics and )f slaying iu politics differ greatly In liSerent localities and with different In- llviduals, and the necessary training varlea correHoudiDg !y. But thera ais a few like $lft00,n! Think of It! Men who, two-years previously, were not, strictly speaking, rich, became fabulously wealthy almost overnight; not because of the mani fest economic tendency of the times, but because of the msnlferi ability of the American people to oiitgamhle any other people on enrth! Water Frmrs Into Hard Cash. These men, being wise, converted their paper profits into hard cash and then put some fifty-odd millions of cash, presented to thorn In the course of a few weeks by tha American public, Into the very best "railway proposition" they could find th Rock Island. There were the junior part ner of Andrew Carnegie, men like Phippa, Frlck, Schwab and a score of others, whose fortunes quintupled in some cases In creased tenfold In weeks, almost days. They did not all sell their holdings, but they sold a small portion. It was enough to enable them to buy yachts and build mansions costing three or four millions each. They made the most exaggerated type of the new close the stock-market millionaire. They were the steel million aires. With the preferred stock selling at $100 and over and the common at $55, as at the height of the boom of 1901, the proper ties of the United States Steel corporation had a stock market value of more than a billion dollars. This was obviously th wild er kind of Inflation, possible only In a mad boom.' People since then have come to their senses. They had bought so much that 'they couldn't buy any more. In th spring of 1901 they bought all that Keene sold for Morgan, all that Frlck, Schwab, Gates, Moore and all the other magnates sold, carloads of certificates. The company has 60,000 shareholders today. But lately the public would not buy so freely. Prices might rise and they would not buy. Prices might fall and they would not think stocks a bargain. Mr. Morgan spoke of "undi gested securities," and ha ought to know, for ha made more than anyone else. And now, on the eve of what so many believe is the beginning of the contraction In general business, in the course of which the Iron and steel trade must suffer, the majority of the 50,000 stockholders of tho big trust, for getting the history of tha corporation and the overcapitalization of It ask what the mattor may be with the stocks, merely be cause in the appeal from Philip drunk to Philip sober there has been a shrinkage of not far from $400,000,000 in the stock market value of the United States Steel capitaliza tion. It measures, this appalling shrinkage, the degree of tha speculative Insanity of the great American publio in 1901. The divldenda on the common stock have just been re duced to 2 per cent per annum. But on the same day the directors reduced the dividend rate they reported that the company had about 1,100,000 tons of business less on its books on October 1 of this year than on October 1, 1912. Men familiar with th Iron and steel trades and with the company's business sold the common stock months ago because it was "velvet" to them It repre sented clear profit They were foolish not to have sold their holdings at $50 a share as others did, but not so foolish a the thousands who bought at that price.

Canvssback; Duck Tha canvasbacked duck may be cooked .like other wild duck, but nearer to the fire, for on must lose as little ot the juice and blood as possible, and it requires rapid cooking to prevent the fat and liquid from running out. He must be browned crisp tlmost to burn ingand served plain, -vlth only salt, pep per, and crisp, whit celery sticks. Its own crimson gravy la considered sufficient sauce by the epicure, who considers it barbarous treatment to deluge this un approachable bird with gravies, sharp sauces, wine, jelly or condiments. Iij order to enjoy the canvas-back duck we are also' advised to grill him, serve im mediately as it must not be allowed to cool accompanied by celery mayonnaise and followed by a very dry champagne frappe. "This Is a course for a king,", re marks our connoisseur, leaving us In doubt as to whether none but a king deserves such fare, or, what Is mora probable, only those of kingly estate may Indulge in such extravagant .fancies. The Redhead Duck This duck ranks next to the canvasback and is not Infrequently substituted for the latter, being cooked In tha same manner. Should you wish to eat wild duck In perfection, try the two follow ing methods given by famous chefs: Split a young canvasback down tha hack, place things which are of the very greatest use, and which can be commended to all men who have ambttlona In this direction. In the first place, they must learn to put their thoughts into good plain English. The ability to write and speak in such a way that other people will understand just as soon as possible Is perhaps more vital In this field than it is anywhere else. It Is astonishing to sea how readify tha vot- era will grasp at a good idea If It Is presented to them without unnecessary en- eumbrancts. I am satisfied that much of the alleged reluctance of people In general to accept the views of college men on some of these subjects arises from the inability of college men to express those views In such shape that they will be un- derstood. Next In Importance to a good knowl- edge of English I should place a knowl- edge of how to look for facts which are not generally known. Whether this train- lng comes through classes in history, or in statistics, or in political economy, is a malter of minor importance It may even come through the use of a Greek diction- ary, which at times furnishes most excel- lent practice In this very habit of disco v- erlnar facts not generally known. The man wno hM iarned to use any one book or gr.p 0f books thoroughly will know how to turn h, hnnd t0 another, and will f,av, a great advantage over tha man who n,,,., twenty things superficially and Is not ln the naDlt ' a"0'"" to the bottom of anything. The next Question 1s whether a man shall xx&n his political life aa a professional or as an amateur; whether it shall be as a means of llvehood, or aa an Independent occupation. As things stand at present, tn, utter course seems preferable. If politics Is a man'a only means of llvehood. tne temptations to Sf 11 his blrthilght for fc mess of pottage are too frequent. I think I should advise a man who looks toward a political career to train himself either aa a lawyer or as a journalist, and have one of these two callings to full back on if politics, goes sgainut him for a time. I should then advise him to find soma leader whom he reepects and honors, and attach himself to this man's fortunes. By doing to ha can probably learn methods of work jl e The Above on Sale at htm In a heavy double gridiron with the lnsido of bird next tha fire; press down flat with the other part of the iron, but do not bt-ulse the flesh.

Have previously blaced before tha carver a silver brasler, or chafing alsh, with tha following ingredients: Three glasses of port wine, cayenne, salt, a cut lemon and cup of good brown stock or gravy.

And" I also think that he is likely to increase his possibility of independent action; just as a staff officer In the army often has a degree of personal freedom and personal influence on the conduct of large operations which Is, in the nature of things, Impossible to a line officer of the same grade.

If we were to measure the effect of campaigns for municipal reform by their tangible results, we should regard these results as small in proportion to the labor expended.

At the end of this time its friends become apathetic, lLa enemies ln- crease in number, and things seem to fall back Into the old channels of corruption, But they do not fall as low as they did before, livery campaign for honest politics has had an educational effect which ln.ta even when its governmental effect seems most transitory. A man .who goes Into politics with high and honorable ambitloria must never forget that ha can do this work of educating public sentiment. The remembrance of this will save him from aiscouragemeni in tne race of apparent failure, and will give him that widened range of vision and Increased steadiness of purpose which Is necessary to make him a true leader. In Lincoln s great debate wUt Douglas he did not succeed ln winning tha senatorshtp; but he succeeded In the far more important work of building up convictions throughout the country whi. h led to Lincoln's election as president and to tha successful prosecution of the war 'or th union.
