London, Sept. 5.-In a recent pub
lie address at Montrose, Andrew Car
negie. the American millionaire
steel magnate, said:
In one department the mother
land is ahead of the dominions and
the United States: She has estab-
lished the law, first proclaimed by
Adam Smith. that every subject
should contribute to the support OF
the government in proportion to the
income he enjoys under the protec-
tion of the state. This just taxation
the millionaires of the dominions
and the United States have so far es-
capped; but their day Is coming The
hordes of millionaires should be 50
treated, not as punishment. but
for their good. because II Is just, and
Justice alone insures general con-
