AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A BILLION

For the first time in the history of the world money is to he autobio- graphi2ed, for the man who made the most tells the story.
 troesus was not specinc as to gains. Senecr, philosopher and syeophant. was as silent as circumstances would admit concerning the sources of his income; Cicero seized his sty lus 10 tell Us how very poor he vas, comparativ- ely, of course. And all for the excel lant reason that their one method was direct spo.iation. The story would read like an abstract from the diary of Jack Cade--
 the simple plan,
 That they should take who have the
 power.
 And they should keep who can.
 Now it is different. The wisest among us are at loss to distinguish the true from the false. It would be foolish to say of-hand whether or not q dollar is clean Things are no. as they once were. when the naked savage traded int arrowhead for how. Skill and material were then pretty definite quantities. A complex form of industry had now ohscured moral issues. The principles uf right and wrong are absolute, but the ap- plication of them in complicated state of society is difficult.
 It will likely be tound that, as a rule, the things which certain people condemn were done by those who did them without sense of wrong. We have to grow up to moral discrimina- tion. Experience is the final teacher
