IF single men should live on 5000 a

only the saloons and places of amuse-

the BARRIERS, the restaurants, the tailor

need clothes, there would be no need
to raise crops or run factories. After

A Tip For Railway Men.

Doubtless some of the increases in
pay lately obtained were due to natural
cause.-the working of the law of sup
ply and demand. The demand for L.
Dor has been unprecedented. Any man
of intelligence and experience in rail
way work has been able to get employ
ment. Competition among employers
for the services of wage earners has
been very active. Under such condi-
lions increased wages are Inevitable.
But there is no doubt that some of the
increases within the last year have
been obtained practically under duress.
for the reason that financial interests
have been timid, dreading the conse-
quences of strike. Managers have
yielded many points not on their mer.
it's, but purely through considerations
Of expediency. But advances on such a
basis are not likely to be permanent.
and there is surely limit beyond
which they cannot go. The labor lead
ers are doubtless claiming credit for
the entire advance. For so much as
they have been able to procure over
and above that which would arise from
natural causes they are entitled to a
certain kind of credit, but if they push
the limit too far they will merely Gre
ate conditions the reaction from which
will be harmful to their own interests.
Up to the present time the railroads
have yielded on the score of expedi-
ency.-Railway Age

The Illinois legislature has granted
with unanimity state pension of

John P. Altgeld, an act that vindicates
the public character of that
remarkable man. The republican
legislature passed the pension bill
unanimously. the republican gov

fact that Altgeld was the Trainer of
the democratic platform of 1896, and
was, while governor, the object of
bitter hostility on the part of the
great majority of the people of the

Speaking in Carnegie hall, New York,
recently, at the annual benefit of the
st. Andrew coffee stands, on the subject
Of centraiization of capital and the in
equality Of conditions among men in
relation to wealth, DR.. Madison c. Pc
tiers said: -
Until God makes all peoples brains
alike so long will there be rich and
poor in human society. The leveling
process would. take away the stimulus
to individual accumulation, and there
fore the capital Of community could
not grow, but would be diminished and
every mans share lessened; but, in
spite of these facts, individuals among
us are becoming too rich and others
getting too poor.
Concentration of wealth exists today
III forms which are perilous to Amer
lean institutions. De Tocqueville warn
ed us more than century ago that the
greatest peril in America would arise
from plutocracy.
1t is true that nearly one-half of the
families of the United States own the
real estate they occupy. but it is also
true that seven-eighths of the families
own but clc-eighth OF the wealth of
tue nation. twenty-five thousand men
vvn one-half of the wealth of this
country, and 100000 own quite so pei
cant of our total capital
One-half Of the wealth produced in
his country annually goes as tribute
to $4,000 persons, and thus about one.
Laif of our population Of 100000 are
working all the time for $4,000 of Their
fellow men.
One hundred and twenty-five fam.
lilies in the United States have more
money than all the other 100000
people put together.
Just prior to the fall of the Roman
empire the entire wealth was in the
hands of 1900 men: How long will il
be if our present ratio be maintained
ere few hundred men will own all the
wealth Of the country
Twenty men in this country have il
