MARCH CG, 1901
MR. CARNEGIE AND PROUDHON.
Two earnest socialists called one
day upon the head of the Rothschild
family in Paris, reminded him that
property was robbery and demanded ,
that he should cease being a great,
wholesale thief, and should permit'
them and their fellows also to be
thieves on a smaller scale in brief,
that he should make an equal distri-j
bution of his wealth among the mem-
"bcrs of the community. To their J
surprise and no little embairassment
he did not demur nor call for the
police. On the contrary, he readily
assented to their demand. "Certain
ly, citizens," he said, "with all the
pleasure in the world. My fortune 1
is about o0,000,000 francs. There '
are about two million people in
Paris. That is 25 francs apiece.
Jfow, of course, ou are quite satis-
tied. Good day, citizens!" History I
unfortunately does not record the j
sequel, so that we do not know!
whether the two regenerators of so-1
ciety promptly drank themselves to I
death with absinthe or renounced I
the unsatisfactory Proudhon and j
lived honestly forever after.
The incident comes to mind, how
ever with luminous significance at
every so-called distribution of wealth,
such, for example, as the superb and
unsurpassed benefactions which Mr.
Carnegie has just made to communi
ties in which for many years he has
been accustomed to hear himself
harshly criticised for his great ac
cumulation of wealth. In two or
three major strokes he redistributes
more than 10,0.00,000 among the
people, and in scores of minor strokes
probably as much more, and there
ate intimations of tens of millions
more to come. Recording to the
strict interpretation of Proudhon's
creed, he is thus merely disgorging
the proceeds of robbery. "Well,
granted so, for sake of argument.
Then it will be difficult, surely, to
draw the line between honesty and
dishonesty. For, strictly speaking,
if property is robbery, the possession
of 1 is petty larceny just as truly as
the possession of $1,000,000 is grand
larceny. It is to be supposed that
few socialists would approve so
strict a construction of Proudhon's
dictum. But if they do not, it will
lie with them to declare how much
property may honestly be held and
beyond what line it becomes robbery.
And it will not be easy, in the
preseut case, to draw that line ac
cording to the service of public
welfare.
Let us suppose that Mr. Carnegie,
instead of accumulating profits into
a great fortune, had day oy day re
distributed all the profits of his
business to all who were in any way
connected with it. Each of bis
empioj'es would have had a few
more cents a day in wages, and each
of his customers would have got his
iron and steel for a traction of a
cent less a pound. That is all. At
the end of a year, or ten years, or
fifty 3'ears neither the individual nor
the community would have been
perceptibly better off with such dis
tribution than without it. There
would have been no accumulation of
reserve capital with which to create
a vast loan and pension fund and to
found schools and libraries without
number, and these latter things,
which are of simply incalculable
beneGt to the whole community,
would never have come into exist
ence. Under the application of the
socialists' rule the benefactions of
Andrew Carnegie, of Peter Cooper,
of George Peabody, of Stephen
Girard and of innumerable other
philanthropists could never have
been made. Nor will it do to argue
that such things should be provided
by the state, as though the state were
the custodian of some Fortunatus's
purse. The stats would mean ouly
the mass of workingmen. It is easy
to ask tbe state to appropriate money
now for public works, because the
vast bulk of taxation falls upon the
rich. But if there were no rich men
to bo taxed, vould a city of poor
men tax itself $5,000,000 or 10,
000,000 for public libraries? Had
Xew York contained no man with
an income of more than $1,000 aj
year, would it have taxed itself for
the new library building which iS
now going up: Ana :or tue great,
libraries which arc to be housed
therein? And tor the sixty-five
branches which Mr. Ccrnegie now;
proposes to establish?
The fact is, accumulated wealth
may be "caviare to the general," but
the taste for it is readily and not un
willingly acquired. Whiit the two
disciples of Proudhon wanted of
Baron Rothschild was not $5 apiece,
but $5,000,000 apiece. They did
not want such a distribution as
would bring him down almost to
their financial level, but one which
would raise them almost to his.
They dream of an equal distribution
which would make all men rich, and
disregard the stern fact that if all the
gold and silver that has been pro
duced iu tbe world since tbe dis
covery of America were equally
divided each person would get only
some $12 or $13, and in such distri
bution the beneficence of wealth
would be impossible. The down
pouring ram is equally distributed,
but it never could supply the wants
of the people were it not collected
and accumulated, here in a cistern
holding a few hundred gallons and
there in a reservoir containing many
billion gallons, in one place to drive
the wheels of mills, m another to
quench the thir3t of a great city. It
is precisely so with wealth. To serve
its most efficient purposes it must be
accumulated before it is redistrib
uted, here to drive the wheels of
industry, there to give schools and
libraries and museums and all such
blessings to the people; and then it
must be distributed in a mass, not
individually. Mr. Carnegie proposes
to give New York $5,200,000 for
sixty-five free public libraries scat
tered about the city. Suppose in
stead he should give $1.50 to each of
the 0,500,000 persons in the city.
In the latter case he would be giving
fully as much as in the former. But
in which case would his gift be of
the greater and more lasting good to
his fellow men? New York Tribune.
A NEWSPAPERMAN
TELLS THE TRUTH
r
"This week we begin publishing the
advertising of the new coffee substi
tute called Figprune Cereal.
"We are using this article in our
own home and find it the finest substi
tute tor coffee we have ever tried. Just
invest 25 cents in a package and try It.
It makes a rich healthful drink."
"W. s. RODGERS.

The above appeared as a news item
In Oi A Mnnntntn T" r li n i ti il
licited. The editor was so well pleased
I with Pigprune that he wanted all his
fellow townspeople to try it.
As Figprune is the most nutritious
and nourishing of any of the cereal
coffees it is but natural that the gen
eral public should welcome the new
breakfast beverage.

Drying preparations simply devel
op dry catarrh ; they dry up the secretions,
which adhere to the membrane and decom
pose, causing a far more nerious trouble than
the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all dry

and use that which cleanses, soothes and
heals. Ely's Cream Bahn is such a remedy
and will euro catarrh or cold in the head

The Big Klickitat Canal.
A small party of engineers arc quietly
looking tip the practicability of divert
ing the waters of the Big Klickitat to
the Horse Heaven country for irrigating
purposes, says the Agriculturist.
This is the old fchome surveyed out
and pronounced perfectly practicable in
1892, and is again taking shape. It
seems that the dry itold placers about
Cleveland is the moving cause of the in
vestigation. For years miners have
known of the existence of valuable dry
diggings on Pine creek above Cleveland ;
but the impossibility of getting water
for washing purposes has caused these
rich deposits to lie neglected and un
worked. Now the old Smith survev is
being carefully run down by practical
miners and professional engineers. Thus
far everything is very favorable and the
undertaking does not seem to be as ex
pensive as at first thought.
If continued explorations and meas
urements prove as flattering as those nl
ready conducted, it is more than proba
ble the canal will be at once excavated,
the Cleveland placer mines worked and
the Horse Heaven district irrigated.
Catarrn I'aonut Be Cured,
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it vou must take inter
nal remedies. Hali's Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country lor years, and
is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous 'surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials,
