CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
Aa to ) MIlllon Dollar.

II rom tho Washington Post
mo man can honestly accumulate
81, 600, 900, and where there is such ac-
emulation there must be robbery.
This statement was recently made by 3
prominent advocate of socialistic reforms
in public address At Milwaukee It's
substance has bsen uttered thousands Of
times on the platform and In the press,
aud We have no doubt that believers IN It
are very numerous Some Of the great
daily journals OF the country have used
their vast opportunities to array the poor
against the rich by representing that the
latter are 10 possession Of what belongs
to the former A few pulpits and two or
three college professors have aided In tue
promulgation OF this doctrine OF
hate man who accumulatas 3
million without trespassing on the
rights Of other men is not a robber
There are many millionares 10
the United States who gained their
wealth without violating statutory or
moral law. There are those among them
who, while making their own fortunes
we're contributing TO the happiness aud
prosperity OF all their fellow cltiz ,ns
The same rule that applies Co inventors
and miners Is equally applicable tc any
other legitimate business There are
manufacturers. merchants aud bankers,
whose millions represent no robbery, but
have been gained by honest enterprise.
To 60 back TO the last generation for
Illustrations, In order to avoid unpleasant
personalities, we hnd the names OF John
jacob Astor. Stephen Glrard, and George
Peabody among the most conspicuous
OF the millionalres Of that time.
Tue first OF the three gained his
wealth In the fur trade, and
none OF his contemporaries accused him
Of robbery. The Astor Library was his
gift to New York. Grard made hIs
fortune In trade, and Invaded no mans
rights Girard College, where many
thousands OF orphan boys have been
fitted for usefal and honorable lives
is his monument. George Peabody made
bis great fortune in banking, made
every dollar OF 1t honestly. aud left it
all for educational and charitable uses
These three benefactors OF mankind are
not rare exceptions to a general rule.

Of robbers" Some Of the milllonairss
now living will show up even better

they calmly say: Go, tell the politicians !;

it not civic heroism, but base. ignoble and
shameful cowardce, unworthy a heritage
which is the legacy of heroes.
Some Of the claims of good citizenship re-
quire a good deal of heroism to meet man
fully, for example. to refrain from that
ignoble bluster and bravado in which heroes
never indulge, which is summed up in that
word of foreign coinage and of i'll omen
"jingoism." There is nothing more Dis
creditable to a powerful nation than to ad-
nation on the slightest provocation. Moth

'tom-tom" resolutions declare our purpose
to vindicate the national honor and pro-
tect the national interests, all of which
goes without saying in every nation under
the sun. For great big country like ours
