The court “You cannog de stroy them, they have come to stay.” Judge Gary—the of Morgan—says: “But we confess that the industrial monop oly is as much a public utility as the and that, in the interest of society, its charges must be regulated by public authority, just as railroad charges are regulated.” z The decision of the supreme court and the testimony of} ludge Gary, taken together, mark the beginning of a new era h the battle between the frusts and the people.
