Futile remedies In the first place there
will come no paci1cation TO this trouble
through an outcry against rich men mere
ly because they are rich. There is no labor
ing man on earth that would not be rich Il
he could be. Sometimes through a fortu
nate invention, or through some accident
OF prosperity, a man who had nothing
comes TO large estate, and we see him AFRO
CANT and superciiiOus, and taking people
by the throat just as other people took him
by the thro oat.
There Is something very mean about hu
man nature when it comes TO the top. But
1t Is no more a sin TO be rich than il is a sir
10 be poor There are those who have
gathered a great estate through fraud, and
then there are mlhonAires who have
gathered their fortune through foresight
Ia regard TO changes in the markets, and
through brilliant business faculty, and
every dollar of their estate Is ~ honest a.
the dollar which the plumber gets foi
nlending pipe, or the mason gets fol
building wall. There are those who
keep In poverty because of their own fault
They might have been well off, but they
smoked or chewed up their earnings, OF
they lived beyond their means. while Others
