Monopoly and its mean effects on public fate in oil price

The piece denounces Standard Oil monopoly for raising kerosene prices by about 120 percent since September, accusing the trust of cornering a natural resource, exploiting the poor, and funding gifts to Harvard or Chicago University to dull public conscience.

It contrasts benevolent gifts with the underlying greed and warns of broader harms to democracy and society.
