Had to Go Into Business

TING OSCAR of Sweden now in his seventy
n eighth year, probably the most versatile of
European sovereigns, succeeded his brother
Charles XIV. in 1872, practically penniless.
Charles, by some techncality, had wiled the
crown fortune to his daughter Louise, wife of
the then Crown Prince of Denmark, but who
now, since the death of his father Christian TX,
is one of the richest rulers, and Oscar was
obliged to go into business that he might
maintain the royal court in the proper state.
To-day hotels, breweries, and factories scat
tered throughout the Scandinavian peninsula
yield very large income to him. His most
cherished possessions with the exception,
perhaps, of the sonnetS and other poetic
etfusions which he has contributed to the
literature of his nation, are the Grand Hotel
of Stockholm and the st. Eric breweries,
famed through all the world. In addition to
these Oscar owns no inconsiderable amount of
stock in the Suez Canal, and depends for
large portion of his income upon his real
estate holdings in various parts of Sweden.
Like Oscar, King George of Greece had little
or private fortune when he was called to
the throne in 1868. But wise speculation under
the direction of American and European
financers soon won for him a competence not
to be despised even by a King He deals
largely in agricultural products, and follows
with all the assiduity of Wall Street broker
the fluctuations of the money markets of the
world. King George, however, has too little
confidence in the stability of his throne to
trust his fortune within the boundaries of
Greece. In order that no sudden revolution
on the part OF his subjects may sweep from him

The Writing on the Wall

GMALL wonder then after such vicissitudes
~ that royalty in modern times has read the
writing on the wall and reformed Edward
VII. is said recently to have issued a dictum
reducing the expenditure of the royal house
hold thirty per cent. In doing SO he was merely
following in the footsteps of his mother, for
throughout her life Queen Victoria was ex-
ceedingly economical The State having ap-
propriated the richest of the crown lands, she
was obliged to foster her private fortune with
the utmost care in order that she might pro-
vide for the future of her numerous grand
children, for the support of whom the British
Parliament no longer willing to call upon
the country. Even it is, her grandniece,
the Countess Vada Gleichen, maintains her
self a professional singer under the name of
Mademoiselle Berger, while her sister FeodorH
earns living as sculptress.
The royal households of Germany, Austria,
Spain, Italy, and Russia are now also being
run under far more economical regime than
formerly. A most. complicated system has
been introduced in Russia where the income
from the crown lands is divided among the
members of the imperial family on a sliding
scale, according to the nearness or remote
ness of their relationship to the Gar. No in
come is allowed to any child beyond the fourth
generation from the Emperor a strict ac-
count of all expenditures is kept, and if any
Prince shows a tendency toward extravaganza
trustees are appointed to administer his allow

TN ages past the Kings of the world gained
i their supremacy and eXerted their arbi-
trary power over the rest of humanity
because before all others they controlled the
great source of the worlds wealth, the land.
The rise of democracy in modern days was due
in great measure to commercial expansion, to
the fact that commerce and industry uSurped
the place of land as the prime source of wealth,
thus placing far reaching influence in plebeian
hands, and to the fact that until the present
generation royalty has always considered it
degrading to enter INTO any commercial pur-
suit. 1t is now an undebated dogma of
economic faith that all the changes in our
social and political life are at bottom due to
changes in the methods of producing wealth,
and that those changes which control the
wealth of the world through that very fact
control also the destiny of the world. This
being true, we afforded interesting specula-
tions; for the Kings are going into business.
The foremost example of what this change
of front may be is perhaps King Leopold of
Belgium. His business activities have made
him at the present the diplomatic storm center
of the world, although OF itself his Kingdom
occupies position of inferiority in European
affairs. True, it was long the battle ground for
Spanish, English, French, and Austrian am
billions; but it owes its independence solely
to the fact that of these nations
strong enough to absorb it against the COM
bined opposition of the Others The admins
tration of Leopold, however, has brought it
to the forefront in European politics. When he
assembled the throne in 1865, he was far sighted
enough to realize that the fulcrum of power in
the future would be commercial rather than
diplomatic, and he began to turn his activities
to business. For a time his enterprises were
accompanied by disaster and the great finan-
ciers Of the world smiled at the thought of
mere King trying to cope with them in the
field of money making. But circumstances
changed and despite lugubrious prophecies
Leopold began to accumulate huge fortune.

A Kings Sagacity

THEN he reached out for colonial power. The
L nations of the world had paid scant atten-
ton to the region of the kongo in Africa, and
when Leopold appropriated it for himself they
gazed with unconcern as he sank his newly
made millions in it apparently without return.
But the Kings sagacity was again indicated,
and the kongo yielded up his investment with
twofold profit in rubber and ivory.
To-day Belgium looms of the great
colonial powers, and Leopold dominates the
rubber trade of the world His influence is
felt in Europe, in America, and even in Persia
and China. This enormous power concen-
trated in the hands of one man, the head of
of the smallest States of Europe, has
aroused the envy of more than one monarch
and more than one financier.
Whatever may be the outcome of King
Leopod's fortunes personally, his career has
opened the eyes of royalty, and from this time
on we may expect to see the Kings of Europe
devoting their talents more and more to bust
ness enterprises. The strenuous Kaiser was
one of the first to learn the lesson, and he has
exhibited it in the educational courses he
has laid out for his sons. The oldest, the
Crown Prince, has been trained for ruling, the
next two for the army and navy; but the three
younger sons, Augustus, Oscar, and Joachim,
are being educated along commercial lines.
What this combination of royal blood, political
influence, and commercial power may mean in
the development OF Germany and its institu-
tons, is problem that is daily receiving more
consideration from the radical statesmen of
the Empire.
