the many conversations I had with
him in his dingy office in the old
Tribune building, I ventured to
suggest that he was a more gener

to which he answered: “Well, I
guesi that’s so. but I can’t stop it.
I am like the Southern planter,
who after spending the proceeds
of his crop in winter reveling, clos
ed up the account by selling a
nigger; I do it by selling a

had but one share remaining of

a Good Word for the Rieh.
The formation recently of the
billion dollar steel trust has at
tracted renewed attention to the
fabulous wealth possessed by a few
of the leading men in American in
dustries and finance. It is stated
that Mr. Carnegie will now have
an income of $15,000,000 per an
num, which is more than $28 per
minute. Mr. John D. Rockefeller
has an income quite as large and
possibly larger. Are these colos
sal fortunes avinenace to the in
stitutions of a free government?
Assertions to that effect are made
in public prints and by political
leaders. It is also asked, have the
holders of these great fortunes
benefited the country in propor
tion to their wealth?
There are two sides to every
question, of course. Without pre
tending to 'defend trusts or mo
nopolies; or to deny that they may
be employed to oppress and crush,
the New York Financier says a
good word* for the very rich men.
They have not grown wealthy
alone. As they have amassed
riches the country has grown rich
er. As they have become powerful
the country has acquired power,
untirtoday it stands in a com
manding position among the na
tions of the world. Before Andrew
Carnegie launched into his great
scheme of steel and iron consolida
tion, little charcoal furnaces made
all of the iron of the country, and
millions upon millions of collars
were exported to England to pay
for rails at the rate of $180 per
ton. Now the United States are
making steel rails for themselves
and for export. The price of these
rails is $26 per ton, or about one-
seventh what we used to pay Eng
land. The reduction in cost has
increased the demand; and mate
rially aided in giving the country
the best railroads in the world.
Mr. Rockefeller’s career in the oil
industry is something of a paral
lel to that of Mr. Carnegie in steel
and iron.,
Supposing there had been a law
which said to Mr. ‘ Carnegie, Mr.
Rockefeller and other men who
are now multi-millionaires, “You
may make half-a-million dollars,
ora million dollars, but no more,”
is it in the least likely ttjafc as a
nation we should now be occupy
ing our proud position? Instead
ofjbecoming a creditor nation and
exporting millions of dollars worth
of products per year more than
we import, would we. not have re
mained a debtor nation, compelled
fco send gold to Europe frequently
to settle the trade balances against
os?
The foregoing is a brief outline
of the Fin ancier’s plea for 3 ustice
to the millionaire. It presents
the question from a point of view
which, as a matter of fact, is sel-.
dom employed when * accumulated
wealth is under discussion. That
the millionaires wield a most po
tent influence upon the national
industrial life is to be conceded.
Would our industries tare better
if the law stepped in and hobbled
ambition and brain by placing a
limit upon the wealth which one
might accumulate? The danger,
lowever, is that the aggregate
wealth will grasp and pollute the
political life of the country.—Sa

he was a stranger to the city. He

“Pardon me, my dear man, but

After lighting his cigar, he eontin-

CASTORIA ALWAYS
Detroit,
special to the Free Press from
Grand Rapids says:
Raging along the entire coast of
Lake Michigan north of Grand
Rapids and reaching over the Sag
inaw valley, is one of the most
disastrous storms in years. Re
ports here show that all lines are
blocked and that not a train of
the Grand Rapids or Perre Mar
quette, north or southeast of here,
is able to move. So far the winds
have been southeasterly, but rail
road men fear that it is turning to
northwesterly, and the worst is
yet to come. Five Grand Rapids
and Indiana passenger trains are
stalled between here and Macki
naw City.
Two Perre Marquette trains are
fast in^ the snow and are rapidly
beiDg snowed in completely, and
there are freight trains out on
both lines which are banked in
with walls of snow and frozen
slush. Railroad men say the
storm is one of the worst they have
ever encountered.
The strength of the blizzard
may be understood when it is
known that the windows of the

Horace Greely was lavish id his
gifts, often to the most unworthy
recipients, and was most sensitive
when admonished on the subject
even by his closest friends. He

Vanderbilt, and, when Vanderbilt
appealed to him to stop, it, Greely

The total appropriations of con

The total appropriations of con

about $750,000,000, or nearly $10
per capita of our present popula

are about fifteen times as many

disappear v/hen the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be bom
afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon ii, the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
