THE USES OF MILLIoNAIREs.
They Are the Busy Bees That FIJI
the Hive with Honey.

The bees of a hive do not destroy the
honey making bees, but the drones. 1t
will be a great mistake for the COM
muntty to shoot the millionaires, for
they are the bees that make the most
honey, and contribute most to the hive
even after they have gorged themselves
full. Here is a remarkable fact, that
the masses of the people in any coun-
try are prosperous and comfortable
Just in proportion as there are million
aires. Take Russia, with its popula-
tiOn little better than serfs, and living
at the point of starvation upon the
meanest possible fare, such fare as
none of our people could or would eat,
and you do not find one millionaire in
Russia, always excepting the emperor
and a few mobiles who own the land,
owing to their political system. 1t Is
the same to a great extent in Germany.
There are only two milliOnaiies known
to me In the whole German Empire. In
France, where the people are better of
than in Germany, You cannot count
one-half dozen millionaires In the whole
country. In the old home of our race,
in Britain, which is the richest country
in all Europe-the richest country In
the world save one. our own--there are
more millionaires than in the whole of
the rest of Europe, and its people are
better off than in any other. You come
TO our own land; we have more mill
ionaires than in all the rest of the world

Some time ago I sat next Mr.. Evarts
