The American Millionaire.
The millionaire,-or the multl-m'lMon-l$e,
If the plainer term be Inadequate
to express hla lofty condition, la the
hero of democratic America. He has
won the allegiance and captured the
imagination of the people. Hta antica

with a (rtUhful realiam of which states
men are thought unworthy. He Is hourly
exposed to the camera; he marches
through life attended by a bodyguard
of faithful reporters. The trappings of
his magnificent. If vulgar, existence are
familiar to all the readers of the Bun
day papers. His silver cars and mar
ble palaces are the wonder of a conti
nent. If he condescend to play golf,
for Instance, It is a national event.
"The Richest Man on Earth Drlvos
from the Tee" Is a legend of enthralling
Interest, not because the hero knows
how to drive, but because he is tho
richest man on earth. Some time since
a thoughtless headline described a poor
infant as "The Ten-Mllllon-Dollar
Baby." and thus made his wealth a
dangerous Incubus before he was out
' of the nursery. Everywhere the same
taie isjoio. The dollar has a Dower of
curiosity which neither valor

Jewels. It is doubtful whether he can
do wrong. If by chsnce he does. It Is
almost certain that he cannot be pun
ished. The mere sight and touch of
him have a virtue far greater than that
which kings of old claimed for them
selves. He is at once the ensample
and touchstone of modern grandeur; and
If, like a Roman emperor, he could be
deified, his admiring compatriots would
send him to the skies and burn per
petual Incense before his tomb.
Carnegie's Idea of Money.
Though all the millionaires of Amer
ica are animated by the same d'slre
the collection of dollars they regard
their Inestimable privileges with very
different eyes. Mr. Carnegie, for in
stance, adopts a sentimental view of
money. He falls down In humble wor
ship before the golden calf of his own
making He has pompously formulated
a gospel of wealth. He piously believes
that the millionaire Is the greatest of
God's creatures, the eloquent preacher
of a new evangel. If we are to be
lieve him. there Is a sacred virtue !n
the ceaseless accumulation of rich".
It Is the first article In his creed that
the millionaire who stands still Is go
Ing buck, from which It follows that
to fall behind In the Idle conflict of
bribes and rebates Is a cardinal sin.
A simple man might think that when a
manufacturer had made sufficient for
the wants of himself and his family for
all time he might, without a criminal
Intent, relax his efforts. The simple
man does not understand the cult. A
millionaire, oppressed beneath a moun
tain of gold, would de.'m It a dishonor
to himself and his colleagues if he loxt
a chance oX adding to the dclght and
substance of the mountain.
Mr. Carnegie, then. Is Inspired not Dy
the romance, but by the sentiment of
gold. He cannot speak of the enormous
ueneflta conferred upon the human race
by the vast Inequalities of wealth and
poverty without a tear.
It Is the favorite boast of the senti
mental millionaire that he holds his
wealth In trust for humanity In other
words, that he has been chosen by an
all-wise Providence to be the universal
almsgiver of mankind. The arrogance
of this boast is unsurpassable. To ie
rich is within the compass of any man
glffed or cursed with an acquisitive
temperment. No one may give to an
other save in humbleness of spirit. And
there Is not a millionaire In America
who does not think that he Is fit 10
perform a delicate duty which h.is
eluded the wise of all ages. In this
matter Mr. Carnegie Is by far the worst
offender. He pretends to take his "mi.-

the melodrama of wealth. He seems to
live in an atmosphere of mysterious

master among pirates, whom you have
to salute even when he has the point of
his cutlass at the small of your back
and you're walking the plank at his
order," was conducted, on Mr. Iw.srn's
part, in the spirited style of the old
Adelphi.
"Mr. Rogers' eyes snapped Just once,"
we are told, on a famous occasion, but
Mr. Ijwson was not Intimidated. "I
held myself together," he says proudly,
"with closed hands and clinched teeth."
Indeed, these two warriors never met
without much snapping of eves and
closing of hands and clinching of
teeth. Why they did it all Is uncer

"He lived without ostentation and he
died poor " These are the words which
Mr. Carnegie, quotes with the greatest
relish. How or where Mr. Carnegie llve'i
is his own affair: and even If he die
poor, he should remember that he has
devoted his life, not to the service" of
his country, but to the amassing of
millions which he cannot spend. It is
obvious, therefore, that the noble words
which Canning dedicated to the memory
of Pitt can have no meaning for him.
and he would be wisely guided if he left
the names of patriots out of the argu
ment. Of all millionaires, Mr. Carnegie is
at once the least picturesque and the
most dangerous. He is the least pic
turesque becnuse he harbors In his
heart the middle-class ambition of
philanthropy. He would undertake a
task for which he Is manifestly unfit,
