did, saved one, two, five or even ten
thousand as a basis for further enterprise.
Many of them have put their savings into
pine lands as he did, or as other million
aires have done, into oil refining, cattle
shipping or railroads. But the number OF
those who have by doing so seen their
original nest-egg grow into millions ami
tens OF millions is very limited, and is
probably exceeded by those who, starting
on equal terms with present Inillionaires,
have lost their savings. 1t is upon the
question what constituted the difference
between the successful men aud the un-
successful ones in the pine land business
that Senator Sawyer's interview failed to
throw light. and that would have been the
pertinent criticism.
For instance, the Senator had discussed
the allegation that there was in the ex-
pansion OF his fortune ''pine land ring"
which by political affiliations was able, ut
the Government sales of timber land, to
secure the choicest and most available
lands at far less than their value, it might
have thrown a valuable light on the
sources of the great fortune 1t is to be
seen that this in, Olives the same principle,
though by different methods, as the ques
ton whether, by advantages in transporta-
ton, one refiner of petroleum or one ship
per of cattle or dressed beef is enabled
to drive competitors out OF existence and
absorb the traffic. 1t is plain that il
such cases have existed, the fundamental
doctrine Of equal rights and equal oppor-
tunities before the law is violated, and
the violation by absorbing undue shares Of
the returns of industry in few and by
concentrating the competition for exist
ence on the mass of producers inflicts its
burden on the common This may bring
us hack to our starting point by suggesting
a reason for the increasing difficulty of
a laboring man in laying up his first
$4,000 for start in enterprise.
1t is on this roint that information from
ex-senator Sawyer would have been most
important. For authentic facts in that
respect carried through the whole range
of industry might answer the question
how many of the overshadowing fortunes
of today owe their existence to methods
involving a ratification of the princi-
plies of justice. -Pittsburg Dispatch
The times., 1897-05-02

seventeenth century was an epoch of high
prices and of low wages. During the ;ast
half of the eighteenth and the beginning
of the present century prices were high
and wages low. Prof Rogers asserts that
wages have always increased absolutely,
t. e., In their money amount, and relatively,
l. e., IN their purchasing power, when prices
were low" and history confirms the state
ment- 1t is evident If both parties are
entirely free and the currency is a stable
quantity. the highest wages viii be paid
when profits are greatest. Prof. Rogers
lays down this rule, which is not only
correct in principle, but is sustained by
history. High prices in articles of nec.es-
sary use, consequent upon scarcity. natural
or artificial, diminish the purchasing power
of wages, and do not increase the amount
OF employment. High prices consequent
ON demand in voluntary articles, which can
be increased indefinitely, increase profits
and increase wages. Low prices in ar
ticles OF voluntary use do not, especially
when labor or employment is greatly dis
tributed, lower wages, so long as the pro-
ducer does not or cannot diminish the out
put.
Wages may be reduced too low; for
very low wages mean degradation 20 the
man and his family who receives them.
Half a mans worth, says a Greek poet,
is taken away when he is made slave
Making a man slave degrades him, and
to force man into poverty he cannot
remedy degrades him also. The public has
an interest in the efficiency and prosperity
OF the workingrnan, for degraded man
is OF no advantage to a community. Prof
Rogers says: The struggle for existence,
interpreted strictly, is not progress, but
retrogression." The liberty and happiness
OF man, the good OF society, the security
OF government, are all bound UP in the
prosperity of the working man. The work
ingrnen feel this, and the more intelligent
they are the more earnestly they endeavor
TO secure it. Prosperity will enable them
to aid in the worlds civilization. They
Will not be degraded. and the victories
they have won are significant Of theii n
exorable purpose TO improve their condi-
uon aud portray what their future shall be.

hours OF labor, etc. II. M. BEADLE.

The Real Question as to Riches.


A recent interview with ex-senator Saw.
yer on the means of getting rich evokes
criticisms from the Chicago Times-H Herald
which fails to touch the real point. Sena-
tor Sawyer's account, in brief, was that
he saved 50 .00o and bought pine lands with
it. The Chicago paper says that every
cne knows that he made his fortune by
buying pine lands, but that the real lques-
tlon is low he saved his first 50 600 That
is mistake on the part of the critic.
Everyone knows that for the young man
starting with nothing the only way TO save
the first nest eggis To work hard and spend
less than he earns II times are good. and
there is fair remuneration for the worker,
industry and frugality will be able to Sc
cure the nest egg But if speculative or
political iugglery brings business To a stand
still. or Incorporate control of the channels
OF industry engrosses the profits OF IIo-,
duction, so that labor can hardly carl
enough to keep the wolf fIom the door, or
iftrusts keep up the prices of the necessities
Of life, no that the wages which might
otherwise leave margin for saving will /, e
all exhausted, the nest egg will not be saved,
or, if saved under better conditions, will
be used up in the effort to keep hunger and
cold away.
That is one Of the factors Of the present
day, that Industrial conditions are being
created which make It harder for frugal
industry to store away provision for OLD
age or adversely.
But the real question is further on.

Shakesreare.

There is no name in the world of lit
erature like the name OF William
Shakespeare. Homer broke as a sud
den dawn through the darkness of the
earlier ages and sang the grandest of
heroic songs. Dante, when the gods
of Homer were no more, lowered W
proud and solitary with his sad and
solemn dreams, his fierce hate. and his
majestic love. Milton opened the gates
of death. of heaven and of hell, and
saw visions such as no man ever saw
before or viii see again. But Homer,
Dante and Milton do not live in our
our affections, do not satisfy our souls

sublimity, passages more STEPPED il

stract thought, but the greatest and
best interpreter of human nature, the
poet of the widest sympathies, of the

CHARLES HUGO MILLER DIES
NEAR FORT DOUGLAS.
Was Once Jailer at the Post
Judge Sommer Has Charge of the
Matter.

The dead body of Charles Hugo Mil
Ter. once a soldier and latterly a tailor
with company F. at the fort. was found
yesterday by one of the old veteran S
comrades.
The cause of his sudden taking off
was ossiacation of the heart
Judge Sommer, who is handling the
legal phases of the case, decided that
an inquest was unnecessary, and it was
a pest mortem examination at the fort
which revealed the cause of his death.
The funeral was held last evening by
company T, and was conducted with
military honors.
The only possession of value left by
the veteran was a policy for $1,000 in
the Legion of Honor of Boston in
favor of his daughter Eliza. Judge
SOmmer has written to Mexico and
Texas for Miss Miller, who is supposed
10 reside in one Of these sections. As no
receipts, indicating that payments had
been made on the policy were found, it
is believed that the document is now
void.
Mr.. Miller served in the war of the
rebellion, and has been with the regi
ment for about Is years.
