The tendency of our country is tp
build up a moneyed aristocracy. The
power of money to beget money is like
the ixcreaslng momentum of a stone us
it falls to earth. The wealth of the
country Is more and more rapidly get
ting into tho hands of the few. An
drew Carneglo one of our greatest
money kings admits this fact. How to
check this evil is the all absorbing top
ic of the political economist of the day.
It must be met and settled speedily or
the consequences will be upon us. It
Is the problem of tho age and it is ex
citing tho Interest of all classes.
One of the remedies suggested is
shown in Andrew Carnegie's recent ar
ticle in the North American Review.
lie says wc should not cheek the
causes that produce great fortunes but
that we should make laws that will
force these fortunes to le utilized for
the public good. "There are three
modes," says he, "in which surplus
wealth can lie disposed of. It can lie
left to the families of the decedents, or
it can lc bequeathed for public purpos
es; or, filially, it can bo administered
during their lives by its possessors."
He contends it is Injudicious to leave
larefo!l unes to children. K.ierienee
teaches that largo estates are more of
ten ruinous than beneficial to the child.
Only moderate sums shoulu be iie
riueathed." IIo :ivs that irreat sums are not be-!
queuthed to children localise it is for
their good, but as a matter of pridj to
advertise the large sum that persons
accumulate.
1 le svys :
Thr growing disposition to tax more
Land more heavily large estates left at
death is a cheering indication of the
growth of a salutatory change In pub
lie opinion. The state of Pennsylvan
ia now takes subject ton few excep
tions -one-tenth or the propi'rtp left
by its citizens. The budget presented
i:i the Britisli Parliament the other
" I day propeses to increase the death-du
ties; and most significant or all, the
th; new tax is to bc.u graduated one.
Of all forms of taxation, this seems the
wlsi-st. Men who continue hoarding
great sums all their lives, the proper
use of which for public ends would
work good to the community, in the
form of the state, cannot thus lj de
prived of its proper sh-.ire. By taxing
estates heavily at death thestate marks
its condemnation of the veltlsh million
aire's unworthy life.

he did not intend at first to take the
horses away. He was examined before

An exchange truly remarks that
"the ninn who grows up in his native
village is frequently regarded as a boy
by his elders until he is well started
down the declivity that ends in a hole.
The stranger who comes Into a place
may or may not be an honest, upright
man, but he is ofteiicr pushed to the
front than the well-known, unostenta
tious young man, who has grown from
boyluKsl to man's estate without the
transition lieing noticed by hi? every
day companions. This is one reason
why so many young men become dis
satisfied with their home surroundings
and loner to cast their lot in other
quarters."
Kvery line in a newspaper costs
soniethtnir. If it is for the benefit of
an Individual or firm it should be paid
for. If a grocer was asked to donate
groceries to those able to pay for them
he would refuse. The proprietor of a
newspaper must pay for tile free adver
tising If the beneficiary does not. And
yet it is one of the tardiest things to be
learned by many Unit a newspaper has
space in Its columns to rent, and must
have it to live. To give It away or rent
for anything less than living rate
would certainly bo fatal as for a land
lord to supply houses and rent them
free.
