Bartow A. Ulrich surveys a powerful ruling class centered in New York, accusing them of dictating commerce, controlling railroads and telegraphs, amassing vast estates through trusts, and excluding the masses from political and economic power. He cites fortunes of hundreds of millions, oil and railroad dominance, secret sessions, and a system that betrays democratic principles.
