Consequently, if the principles of modern individualistic democracy and modern individualistic economics are right, according to which the main motive of each should be to do the best for himself with his own powers that he can--"if it is duty to compete if competition is the life of trade, then the battle for self must ever go grimly on.

The strong must subdue the weak, the rich the poor, the able the unable.

Upon this basis the millionaire and the multi-millionaire have a perfect right to roll up their untold millions, even as the working-man has a right to seek the highest wages that he can get.

All in different ways are seeking their own; and the keenest competitors are the best men.

The prizes must go to the strongest and the shrewdest.
