Great Fortunes as Compared With Old
Times,

The great fortunes that have Sprun g
up so amazingly in this country dur
ing recent decades, in the opinion of
many serious thinkers, today consti-
tute menace to our national we'll be-
ing, says Cleveland Moffett in writing
of 1.-The Shameful Misuse of Wealth"
in Success Magazine. Without these
great fortunes there would be no reign
of luxury in America, no Haunting OF
feasts and follies, no riot of extrava-
gance; with them we may expect all
the evils that have in previous civiliza-
tons attended upon enormous riches.
And many of these evils, as we have
already seen, are actually with us.
1t is admitted that we are the rich
est people in the world today-the
richest people the world has ever
seen. The vaunted wealth of Croesus
is estimated at only $s,000.000, but
there are seventy American estates
that average $50, 100000 each. AS show
ing the rapid growth of individual for
tunes in this country there is interest
in list of rich men-printed in 1855
according to which New York city
at that time boosted only twenty eight
lished some years earlier says that in
1S45 Philadelphia could show only tep
estates valued at million or more. the
richest being that of Stephen Girard
which reached s7.OO0,o00. In contrast
to which in 1892 there were over 200
millionaires in Philadelphia.
AS to New York City. the nun1bef
of millionaires, according to best infor-
nation is over 1000 while the number
of milionaires in the United States i:
at least 5000 or half the total number

richest and most powerful man in tn

wealth of this family is estimated

he would not yet, in 1906, have amassed
a thousand million dollars. And If Mr..
Rockefeller should today turn this
wealth into gold coin and take it out
of the country, say into Canada, he
would carry across the border three
times as much gold as would then re-
main in the United States. Nor would
he carry it himself, for the weight
of it would be 1,750 tons. And if he
loaded it on the packs of porters. each
man bearing his OWE weight in solid
gold (say $50 pounds). it would re-
quire $4,000 men to move it. And If
they walked ten feet apart the line
of them would reach forty+four miles
and would occupy fifteen hours m
passing a given point. None of which
takes any account of the daily interest
on this fortune, which interest, If paid
in gold. would require the strength OF
seven men to carry it would weight
1000 pounds. Such are the riches OF
q single family.

ARRANGEMENT OF WEALTH,

Chicago Rank Omcial says Souls
shrivel In Hunt Fer Riches.
Perhaps you think it Impossible that
a mans soul should entirely shrivel up
in the pursuit of wealth. II you knew
some wealthy men as well as know
them you would agree with me that
they had lost the last vestige Of the
souls they may be presumed to have
possessed before the mania for money
getting possessed them. would like
to acquire millions, but IL the process
Is going to make me like some of the
old devils l know who have them ]
don't want the money"
Representatives Of seventy three Pres
byterian churches In Chicago listened
to these words the other night, not
from one who never knew prosperity.
but from David r. Forgan, vice pres
ident of the First National bank, III
Chicago, whose business associations
with many leading capitalists in Chi
cago and elsewhere have given him
ample opportunity for Judging the
class of men Of whom he spoke, says a
Chicago dispatch.
Msny Of those who listened to Mr..
Forgan's arraignment Of wealth at the
Mckinley memorial banquet Of the
Young Mems. Presbyterian union in the
City club Of Chicago longed to ask him
to specify some of thu, wealthy men to
whom he referred His nearest ap-
proach to this was q reference to an
Incident illustrating one mans lack Of
soul.
ITO me there can be no sadder
sight," said Mr.. Forean, than an old
man already incurabered by this
worlds wealth, but eager only to in
crease it before he topples from the
earth. You yourselves have seen such
men. They are =. mere numerous in
small towns than In large cities. AL
most every small town has Its wealthy
men who never part with dollar If
they can help it.
Recently saw letter from q
wealthy man referring to the death Of
a clerk who faithfully had served him
thirty years. The man who wrote this
letter 10 rated at $2oOO0,OOO. He is
an fastener. In THU letter, after dis
posing Of several matters, he referred
to the death Of his old employee Incl
dentally and directed that the exact
date Of the severance Of his connection
with the Office because of his last ILL
ness be ascertained, the exact amount
due him for the fraction of the month
he had worked to be figured up and
check for the amount be mailed to
his widow. Do yeu imagine that old
curmudgeon has q soul?
Il do not believe In spite of all the
graft we have been reading about that
as yet the business Of this country is
rotten. l do not believe that the actual
proportion Of Ubiquitous business meth
DDS is any greater than the proportion
