Show The Poverty of Great Riches. fl The Outlook has a fino article on "Tho Dis- fl crediting of Wealth." The burden of it is that 9 the exposures of tho methods through which so fl many men have made fortunes, coupled with the fl doubtful and often vulgar use which some people 'fl put their wealth to, has had tho effect to cause 9 a revulsion in millions of minds toward tho pos- fl session of wealth when naught else goes with it. fl There will be this after awhile, but not yet, 9 for tho rage just now Is for money. But certain 9 it is that God does not think so very much of fl money, else he would not permit It to be dlstrib- . fl uted just as ho does; that is, judging by some of fl the displays that are made, and only judging by fl the present. So far there are not comparatively -fl speaking a very great number of hereditary great fl fortunes in he country. 9 There are a great number in all, but not when fl considering oighty-flve millions of people in tho 9 country. And when, by and by, the government fl condemns and buys a great many of the public fl utilities there will be loss. fl For instance, Cornelius Vandorbilt got around fl tho law which forbids tho entailing of landed fl estates as in England to tho oldest son, by con- fl verting his property into bonds and stocks and fl having the bulk of those descend to the oldest fl sons. But what will happen when that property 9 is first converted into .government bonds and paid fl off? Tho family will havo vast amount ot fl money, no doubt, but what will they do with it to fl cause it to pay an income? Tho world Is being fl filled with money, but when one great utility is fl absorbed after another will not the holders of fl the money bo like a man with all his pockets . fl filled with gold when perishing for want of a cUp .fl of water out on the desert? It will not do to in- fl vest in land, for that will bo taxed so that it will fl IllnPiBrof require careful cultivation jtp pay the tax. We ,HH1 are ImPrtInB 1.000,000 people annually.
