America. His career is a permanent
contradiction of the assertion so OF
ten made that no man can accumu-
late a million dollars honestly. Mr..
Jesup was a banker for nearly sixty
years, and he financed and promoted
many large and important enterprises,
including the Canadian Pacific rail-
road. 1t was his business to loan
money and float bonds and conduct
financial negotiations, and he dealt in
very large transactions, by which he
amassed many millions of dollars,
and no one can say that any OF them
were dishonest.
His life was as simple and his hab-
its as unostentatious as those of any
ordinary citizen. No anarchist was
ever made by Mr.. Jesup's good fort
uncs; no socialist was ever made by
his success in acquiring more than his
share of the worlds goods. He
never leased a suite OF apartments in
a conspicuous hotel for $4,000 a
year. He never lost or won $4,000
on a horse race or in a poker game.
He never bought a railway on the
stock market or managed a corner
in grain. His name was never men
toned in connection with stock job
bling operations. He was better
known as president of the chamber OF
commerce and as president of the
American Museum Of Natural His
tory and for his activity in religion,
charity, education, art and the adj
vancement of science than for his on
erations on Wall street. When men
spoke of Mr.. Jesup they usually men
toned the money he was spending
for the welfare of his fellowmen
rather than the money he was making
by his financial operations.
