ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Lessous OF Fortune
We find the following among the per
sonaI items of an Eastern Democrats ex-
jay Cooke is said to be at his elegant
summer hoase at Putsiu Bay He has
acquired a large fortune since the com
meucement of theswar. STT
Jay Cookies fortune, accumulated since
the war; furnished an excellent ie.s9n
not only to Government but business
men.
When the first popular loan was
thro IN upon the market, says the Ro.
chester 1grfofl. it is settled down as 4
drug after q very brief period In the
emergency, the Secretary OF the Treas
ury called To his aid family relative and
Philadelphia banker, and through him
speedily realized upon the bonds. The
result was advantageous to the govern
ment under the circumstances, aud es-
pecially advantageous to Mr.. Cooke,
whose commission of mere fraction
upon the dollar aggregated an immense
sum. "a general cry. was. raised against
what appeared as the unnecessary EN-.
ployment OF an outs de agent, and the
unwaFfanted favoritism by which a pri-
vate banker was enabled 10 make for
tune in few months out ofa sale of pub
tic securities. Soon theS73Q loan was an
nounced, but like the S 20 it dragged
until Jay Cooke was again called in,
since which time its sale has been all that
was desired.
Now the secret of the, difference be
tween the Government sale Of these loans
and their disposition by the Philadelphia
banker is Just this and nothing more:
The successful seller adopted an extensive
and judlcious system of advertising
the unsuccessful seller did not. The
Treasury departments adopted the penny
wise pound foolish course of seeking to
reach the public through fagorite and
stipendiary sheets without regard to their
influence: or circulation, while Mr.. Cooke
sought and employed the columns of the
leading presses OF the country without
regard to politics or pecuniary cost. He
has, upon the pages of this and other
Democr attic journals of the country.
spread out before their readers his facts
and arguments to induce the sale of the
bonds. He has paid literally for the
privilege. And the result is d gathering
in of the needed funds to the Govern
ment and a princely competence to him
self. This.is lesson of the bankers tor
tune, which might have been saved TO
the people had the Treasury Department
employed at salary of few thousand,
a man of his abilities to take charge OF
its loans. It's application to the affair of
Government and of business men needs
no special pointing out.
