1894 republish in enlarged, permanent
and especially handsome form, with the
addition Of valuable new matter its ex-
elusive copyrighted list of persons in the
! United States whose fortunes amount to
a million or more.
1.-The original list was published in
| The Tribune in the early summer of
1892. 1t is the only one of the kind ever
compiled in this country and was the
/ product of large expense and year and
a half of unremitting investigation. 1t
was republished during 1892 in low
I
of The Tribune Monthly, and it has
had and still continues to have good
sale in ell parts of the United States.
The original object of the compilation
was political one-namely, to estab-
iish the part played by the protective
tariff in the accumulation of American
fortunes. But widespread interest has
been developed in the social and finan-
cial bearings OF the list, and The Trib-
me has now determined TO revise it,
make any needed changes and reprint it
in new, expensive and expanded form as
a souvenir Of the millionaires of Amer
lea, embracing, in addition, as far as pos
sible, the principal millionaires of for
eign lands.
