opinions regarding the effect OF concentration
Of wealth, and the drain made upon the pro.
ducers Of this country by the investment OF
foreign capital The questions and one re-
sponse TO them were copied In the ADVOCATE
Of January 28 Further than this the follow
ing article by Justice Allen needs no explans
tion-EDTORl
At the time of writing my commu
nication of January to you and
other leading journals, l did not in
tend to do more than ask questions.
The answers from some quarters lsed
me to ask permission to express through
your columns some views Of my own
on the matters suggested.
1t is not my purpose to enter into
any extended consideration Of the
methods by which great fortunes have
been acquired. The law now recOg.
nizes them as held by valid titles. The
general system Of accumulating wealth
in America has been essentially differ
ent from thstemployed in Europe prior
to the time of the French revolution.
The foundations of most great fortunes
in Europe were laid by the acquisition
Of lands through conquest or political
favoritism. Domesday book which
furnishes the source of titles to lands
in England was the work of William
the ConquerOr, aud evidences the par
tition Of the kingdom among his re-
tainers. The title of most of the pres
ent proprietors to the soil of Ireland
was derived by conquest. The titles
to property in the United States are
substantially all derived through pur-
chase by the present holder or his an
cestOr.
During the middle ages, and until
comparatively recent times, those en-
gagged in commerce, manufacture and
industrial pursuits were so frequently
pillaged by the lawless and Warlike, as
we'll as by their own rulers, that save
In few favored spots like Venice and
Genoa, great wealth could never be
Rmassed through any business benef-
clal to mankind. During this century
great fortunes both in Europe and
America have resulted from dealings
connected directly or remotely with en-
terprises beneficial to the public. Vast
operations have been rendered possible
by superior governments which have
driven pirates from the seas and ban
dts from the lands, and promoted by
improved facilities for communication
and the transportation Of products.
Investments in any part of the civil
lied world have been rendered safe by
the jealous protection of property
rights by all organized societies, and
the advantages of the frugal aud prov
ident classes have been carefully
guarded by courts whicn administer
the law to rich and poor alike. In
brief, great fortunes are an outgrowth
Of our superior civilization. The size
Of individual estates has not been gen.
orally regarded as a matter of public
concern. Is it really SOP

accumulating great wealth is immensely

ing and saving will go toward the ac-
cumulatlon of great wealth. A man
working 300 days in a year for fifty
years and saving 81 per day, would
have but $4,000. Suppose Adam, the
father of our race, had commenced
work on the morning of the first day,
for 81 day in gold with board and
clothes for himself and mother Eve
(fair labOrer's wages as the world now
gOes), and had continued his toll with
out ceasing, Sunday only excepted, on
down to the time of Noah, helping to
build and load the ark, and to care for
the animals during the food; working
for PharOah while Moses and the chill
dren of Israel wandered in the wilder
ness; had aided in building the pyra-
mids of Egypt, the walls of Babylon
and Ninevsh; had served the Perslsns
under Cyrus and escaped Alexander;
had lifted his eyes from his toll to be.
hold the crucifxion of the blessed
Jesus, lover of the poor; had escaped
the earthquakes and pestilence of the
times of Justinisn, the devastating
wrath of Sythian, Goths, Huns and
Turks; had witnessed the conquests of
Charlemagne in the West, and the rise
of MOhammedsnism in the East; had
been with Columbus at the discovery
Of America, and still toiled on till this
year of grace, earning, receiving, and
safely keeping his good gold dollar each
day, how much would he now have?
Assume the estimate of 5000 years to
be correct with 3l3 days per year, and
the sum total would be 81 1873, 900, but
a small part of the reputed yearly in
come ofany one of our leading million
aires. BY what possible service could
anyone justly earn so muchP This
illustration merely shows that vast for
tunes cannot be gained by merely earn
ing and saving lsborers wages. How
are they gainedP
Suppose, again, that Adam had
worked on the first day of his exist
ence, earned a dollar, then quit work,
aud lived thereafter on the fruits of
the garden; that there were neighbors
to whom he loaned that dollar at 5 per
cent. interest; that the interest was
faithfully paid, and promptly rein
vested every year. At the time of his
death, at the age of $50 years, the
value of his securities would be ex-
pressed in quintillions of dollars, sum
millions of times greater than the
present value of the whole earth. An
investment in land or other form of
property, paying a net yearly rental
equal to 5 per cent. promptly rein
vested, would produce the same result.
No such result has ever followed any
loan or investment. WhyP Because
there never were conditions of sbso-
Lutte security for it. An spproxims.
tion to such results is utterly impossi-
BILE when there is no security for
property or life. If the burden of pro.
tecting vast estate be cast wholly on
the owner, its rapid increase will be
checked, if not wholly prevented. If,
however, the burden of protection can
be cast on other shoulders, if debtors
can be forced to pay the cost of col
lecting debts and interest, if tenants
can be made to pay all the expenses of
The advocate., 1895-02-13

In the consideration Of our subject
let us start right. Without any organ
ization Of society for the preservation
of order, the protection of persons and
property, and the enforcement of con.
tracts, fortunes great or small could
not exist. In a state of anarchy one
could have only so much as he alone
might be able to protect. All accu-
mutations of wealth are then due to
government. More than this the dis
tribution of wealth is, and from the ma.
ture of things must be largely deter
mined by conventional regulations.
All laws assuring individual titles to
land are illustrations of this truth.
How are the interests and the busi-
ness of the community affected by the
ownership of the completed property
after the owner ceases to push forward
new enterprises, and merely demands
revenue for his possessionsP Conced-
ing, for the instant, a great industrial
leader that has fairly earned million
dollars. A yearly income of 5 per cent.
calls for another million dollars in
twenty years. Whence shall this be
deriVedP If he merely takes and con-
sumes $50, 1000 per year of the product
of factory he has built, ne will waste
just so much, but the business of the
world will go one without disturbance.
II, however, he demands $4,000 for
re-inVestment, debts to that amount,
or transfer of 80 much property must
follow. Conceding that the first mil
lion was earned, will the second be?
The general aspect of the subject is,
that when those who have wealth en-
ploy it actively by hiring labOrers to
push forward great enterprises, wealth
is produced rapidly and there is gen.
ersl prosperity. Bat when capitalists
become weary of well doing and cease
active operations, stsgnatlon ensues,
prices fall, lsborers are idle, trade Ian
guishes, and people of moderate means
engaged in any branch Of business,
who chance to be in debt, are crushed
and cast into the ranks of the penni-
less. Men of small means will struggle
on and try to do business under sd
verse circumstances, but the man of
great wealth will stop all new invest
ments wnen profits fsil. His cash will
be allowed to accumulate and lie idle.
Under existing conditions will not the
mere gathering and boarding up of the
revenues Of the people of wealth alone,
and of itself, produce a financial panic
and commercial stagnatlOnH
Now as to the abstract justice of the
title of anyone as against the whole
people to millions. 1t must be freely
conceded that one man of superior in.
telligence, and mental or physical
activity, may be more valuable and eff
cient than many others combined. The
relative value of human services is not
susceptible of accurate measurement.
Who shall say how great a service has

their motives, or how just the legal
principles they enforcep The protests
of laborers in enforced idleness, of
half-fed and ill-clsd men are not often
couched in elegant phrases, or ex-
pressed in logical order. They are
much more likely to take the form of
contempt for authority OF resistance to
its exercise.
That loans and investments are
really the sources of great fortunes un-
der existing conditions, is as well
demonstrated by the facts bearing on
my second question as in any other
way. That large portion of the
stocks and bonds of railroads and
other corporations is owned in Europe
is fact conceded on all hands. 1t is
also generally known that Europeans
have large investments here in manu-
featuring and mining plants, as well as
large sums loaned on the security of
private mortgages. All such forms of
investment exist in Kansas within my
own knowledge. How were the funds
invested transmitted to this countryP
Taking the official reports of COM
merce as our authority. we find that in
the dfty years from 1874 to 1893, in
elusive, our exports have exceeded our
imports as follows:

We, then, have sent out of this coun-
try nearly billion dollars in value in
excess of what has been brought in,
yet during the same period have been
rapidly going deeper and deeper in
debt to foreign creditors.
While ocean freights and other minor
items will doubtless account for some
Of this expenditure, the great bulk is
the return from investments COM
menced long ago, which have yielded
interest, rents, and profits oft IN very
large, only part of which has been
called home, the balance being rein
vested Compound interest at low
rate on comparatively small sum, is
ample to account for the whole result.
Thus, the wealthy Europeans by a
process entirely peaceful, at first sp-
parently and perhaps really beneficial,
and still approved and encouraged by
most rich Americans, are now rapid y
extending their dominion in the
United States without giving us as
people anything in return.
The establishment of firm govern
ment with just laws, faithfully exc
cuted, has invariably been followed by
rapid increase in the wealth of the
nation, as we'll as in the size of private
fortunes. With peace and security
also comes increase of population as
we'll. Craft and circumstances soon
dlfferentiate from the mass a small
class richer than the rest, and a multi.
tude of the poor. Between these are
the middle classes, including the main
strength and vigpr of the nation. The
rich soon gain predominant influence
in government. All taxes and bur-
dens of government are then cast on
the poor and those of modest means.
The confding middle classes are then
squeezed out till nothing remains but

Lumber Combine.

San francisco, Jan. 4.-Nearly every
prominent firm dealing in lumber in
this city is interested in g. movement
to form combination, increase prices
and insure profit in a branch of busi-
ness which has been conducted at a
loss for months. Negotiations with
that end in view have been in progress
for two weeks, but as yet no definite
organization is the result. A COM
mittee has been chosen, plan outlined
and ruled have been formulated.
Even, a name for the new concern has
been adopted, but the step which is to
make all these measures practically
operative has not been taken.
Local lumber men are a unit in de-
claring that trade with them has been
worse than profitless for a year. Car
goes have been sold at loss of 5000
and 500. 1t was found cheaper, in
many instances, to have work per-
formed and material purchased in
British Columbia than in this city.
The only possible field for even small
profits is in the foreign markets.
Under these conditions local mer-
chants considered it absolutely neces-
sary to take some step to stop the
competition going on and to raise
prices until there shall be reasonable
profit.
1t urged that all consignments of
lumber be made to this company,
which would then appoint its selling
agents. In that way all sales would
come under the direct supervision of
the combination. Every ten days

fits upon basis fair to all the compa-
