MIR. CARNBGIEls METHOD.
A Tribute from the Lcndon Times tl
 His M0ney-Making Power.

There is, perhaps. no parallel rec ord in history" says the London Times, referring to Andrew Carnegie, ''Of 2 man who, entirely unaided, With out the direct help of anyone and with out even the advantages of an ordi- nary school education, within f,r.y years, in legitimate manufacturing business enterprise. without adventi- t;Cus aid from speculation, as such, has amassed any such fortune In the case of Rockefeller his wealth was the out c0ne Of organizing a vast monopoly In the case of the VanderDiIts and Jay Gould there was au fond the dexter
 us manipulation of railways ard rail- Way stocksI involving now and then q grand coup, which brought iH enor- nous hauls. In the case of the AstCrs the the unearned increment of land values secured vast wealth Whicl was not materially influenced by any ac- ton of the owners of Manhattan isl and but depended on circumstances wSich they neither did nor could to any extent control Indeed no other fortune of the first rank whether in the United States or in Great Britain, has been, like Mir. Carnegie's, due to manufacturing enterprise alone.
 In Europe. again, the fortunes Of the RothschiIds, of Baron Hirsch. and Of other notable men in the world Of British finance have been founded either on large financial operations. as such, CT on the appreciation Of land or other securities. on which they were chiefly dependent. But here we have one Of the largest fortunes of all time that practically owes nothing to any speculative operations whatever, and has not been affected or assisted by any investments wcrth speaking of, outside of the business of an ordinary manufacturer.
 Indeed. MT. Carnegie is well known to have made if fixed rules to put all his eggs in one basket in the sense of committing himself entirely to the fortunes of his own specia. business as a stce, manufacturer. To that orc business he has devoted himself heart and soul for close on forty years. and ha is now reaping the reward of his single minded labor and his concen- rra ron of purposes in tl.e results with which all the world is familiar"

 carry much weight, ard there are sev- eral such in the present situation. The Beers are race of honest but narrow minded cattle farmers who because of their traits were elbowed out of the other civilized African communities and forced to settle in the Transv2al. Once there they had not the enterprise to discover and develop it's wonderful resources, and this duty de- volved upon English and Amsr- ican ''outlanders'' who licked t1itherward upon the discovery of gold and diamonds. So long as these outlanders were willing to build up the country, pay nine-tenths of the taxes and invest thcLr millions in industries everything was serene. The Boers' are not lacking in shrewd- ness and they proceeded unmercifully to soak" this majority, at the same time refusing them all voice n gov eTnment. The thrifty outlanders are compelled to support outrageous gov ernment monopolies, and respectful petitions for redress were met by the most dcmineering refusa!s to make the least concessions. The Jamieson raid some years ago was simply an of an outraged people, which, though without lawful war rant, had much justice behind it. The grievances of the populace who are the real bone and sinew of the little nation have now been presented to the British government, which is ever jealous of the rights of it's subjects, and the stubborn "Ooom Paul. who enjoys power and distinction through the aliens over whom he rides rough shod must answer for h-'s conduct His days as blockader of civilization may not end right here, but they are numbered
