Possibilities of Morgan's Death in the
Financial World.

Minneapolis Journal.
One j. Pierpont Morgan, simple Amer
lean in whose veins flow no Norman blood.
on whose head rests no coronet. is the pos
SCISSOR OF life esteemed by the business
world more valuable than that of the late
queen Victoria To safeguard against the
effects of his unexpected death on the
mighty undertakings he is supporting men
who have put money into his enterprises
are insuring his life.
At the same time there has arisen
school of fnanciers that are protesting
against too much one-man influence in
business. Pamphlets are being circulated
In the financial centers stating the objec-
ions 10 imposing so much power and re-
sponslDl1ty or one man, and even men
t IRE TO Mr. Morgan are considering
the question of how TO prevent the modern
Atlas from taking a larger load.
But TO organize corporations that control
the giant companies of the industrial
world throughout the physical world is the
career OF Mr.. Morgan. Once he was a
banker, now he is the prince of merger
makers maj SO long as Mr.. Morgan lives he
VIII continue to combine combines into
combines and heap consultations upon
concentrations. The tremendous scale of
MS activities has now reached such a
point that the lesser powers in the bust
ness world view him with as much fear
ana suspicion as the lesser monarchs of
Europe viewed the great Napoleon when
ne was organizing that merger of the
continent of Europe which the late Cecil
Rhodes thought might have done the
world much good had it been maintained.
But there is this difference between the
positions of Napoleon and Morgan. The
powers that envied and hated Napoleon
saw nothing to lose and everything to
gain in curtailing his power or even in
sending him into exile. On the contrary,
the very men who fear Morgan and are
alarmed by his operations do not dare to
ike Sampson, should pull down the
structures he has raised they would per
lsh in the ruins. What they want is that
Mr.. Morgan shall go no further, that he
snail make no more combinations that
ne shall content his soul in peace, cease
his creative labors and limit his activi-
ties hereafter TO administration But
than any man will cease to enjoy himself
when he has the opportunity, and work
and enjoyment are to be found in the same
activity.
While IT is only natural that men should
fear the ruin that may follow the death
of the financial king. it is worthy of note
that a recent admiring biographer says
that Mr.. Morgan has arranged his at
fairs that when he dies the great mergers
