THE
New-York Life Insurance
Company
Vi/HICH, in i860, originated and introduced the first Non-forfeitable
Policy, now makes another RADICAL DEPARTURE in favor
of the insured.
Life insurance is safe or possible only on the principle that life is
more precious than money; but no life company has heretofore fully
accepted this principle.
The NEW-YORK LIFE, believing from its experience that the
time has come when this principle should be fully accepted, now an-
nounces that, the physical conditions, habits, etc. , of an applicant being
.satisfactory, if will insure him without future limitations. The Com-
pany's new contract, the
- " ACCUMULATION POLICY."
contains no restrictions whatever respecting Occupation, Residence,
Travel, Habits of Life, or Manner of Death. The only condition of the
policy is that the premiums be paid as agreed. If the insured pays the
premiums the Cofnpany will pay the policy.
Full particulars given on application to the Company or its agents.
NEW- YORK LIFE INSURANCE CO.,
346 & 348 Broadway, New York.
Charles C. Whitney, John A. McCall,
SECRETARY. PRESIDENT.
"A Company of the policy-holder, by the policy-holder and for the policy-
holder."
" Under an administration which thus broadly announces the fundamental prin-
ciple that is to control its policy for the future, this Company now enters the forty-
eighth year of an honorable buginess career."

THE ABOVE OFFICIAL STATISTICS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
These Trust Companies — my specialties for twenty -three years — are peerless among all the
monied institutions of the United States, as the extraordinary profits carried to surplus, in addition to
the phenomenal dividends paid during the last six years (to December 31, 1891), as shovrn above,
abundantly confirms. The high prices of their stocks indicate the popular estimate of their value as
investments. It is not uncommon for my clients to see an average advance from 10 to 35 poiats (and
in some instances much more), on these and other Trust stocks, in addition to their respective
dividends, for every consecutive year during the last decade.

HOTEL SAN REMO
Central Park West and 75th St., New York.
HIS beautiful, new,
and absolute-
ly Fir e-p roof
Hotel, occupies an
ideal location on the
South-west corner of
Central Park West,
and T5th Street. It
commands the finest
view of any point on
tlie entire Central
Park Front; overlook-
ing the Park, where
the Bridle path and
Driveway curve
around tbe beautiful
lake ; and the pic-
turesque scenery is a
perennial delight.
From the upper
stories of the hotel
the waters of the
Hudson, and those
marvels of nature, the
"Giant Palisades,"
can be plainly seen.
The 72nd "L" sta-
tion is but two min-
utes' walk from the
Hotel.
This model family
hotel has no parallel
in its unique and
splendid appoint-
ments. It is the high-
est example of evolu-
tion from the hotels
oi a few years ago,
that art, comfort and
refinement, can sug-
gest.
Each and every
apartment has a pri-
vate bath, with all
m. o d e r n conveni-
ences ; every room in
the house having di-
rect outer light and
The Hotel is conducted solely for families who wish to avoid the annoyances and
inconveniences of "housekeeping-," and for that reason the suites will not be furnished,
BUT EVERY SERVICE. INCLUDING ELECTRIC LIGHT, STEAM HEAT AND CHAMBER SERVICE
WILL BE FURNISHED FREE OF CHARGE.
The suites will rent from $700 to $2,000 per annum. There wiU be no duties, no cares, no eternal worry
about servants, and yet each apartment, will be a " home " in itself,
Where comfort, like a noble sybarite.
Reposes in each quiet turn and nook;
Where nervous cares have long since taken flight,
And " keeping house" is soothing as a book.
The CriSlNE and ^:;ER VICE are UNSURPASSED; the meals being served on the American plan at reasonable rates.
All the water uted in the hotel for cooking and drinking purposes is filtered by the celebrated " Buhring" system
of wa'er purifying.

5 HIS noble pile of white marble, Corinthian architecture, covering eighteen full
city lots and accomodating one thon.sand guest.s, marks a place in the heart of
the great City of New York, and an era in the history of the Nation's
wealth and advancement. It is located in the centre of the City, upon the
charming Madison Square and at the intersection of the two great streets, Broadway
anei P'ifth Avenue, and convenient to the most important points of interest in the
Metropolis.
Its patrons include the names of the most prominent men and women in
America — The Presidents, hundreds of Government Officials, Senators, Congressmen,
Judges, Army and Navy Officers, Divines, Physicians, Authors, and in fact all who
have attained prominence and celebrity in public and private life, both at home and
abroad; and the most distinguished Europeans of rank and title \\'ho ha\"e \'isited
this country.
It has been the centre of all the great public occasions which the City has
witnessed for thirt\' years.
Years have come and gone, new hotels have multiplied with inno\"ations
and features introduced to affect and influence patronage, but the Fifth Avenue
is as new and fresh as the most recent hotel construction, with more liberal
accomodations than an}' of them, and its well-earned reputation as the leading
Hotel of the world, is more and more assured.

AMERICAN MILLIONAIRES.
OCCUPATIONS IN WHICH MEN OF WEALTH
HAVE MADE THEIR FORTUNES.
THE TARIFF NOT THE SOURCE OF THE GREATEST NUMBER
OF MILLIONS.
INTRODUCTION.
The Tribune presents to the piiblic in the fol-
lowing pages a list of the persons in the United
States who are reputed, by their friends and
neighbors and by well-informed authorities in
the communities in which they reside, to be
worth a mUlion or more of money or property,
or in yery close proximity to a million.
A few words of explanation aJre appropriate.
In the fall of 1890, a newspaper in New-Yoik
City, unfriendly to the Protective Tariff, ptib-
Ushed the names of 122 persons, estimated by
that paper to be worth from $5,000,000 to
$125,000,000 each. The estimates of wealth
were enormously and ridiculously exaggerated,
as popular estimates of private fortunes are apt
to be. Nevertheless, the 122 persons 'named
were, most of them, men of wealth and the pos-
sessors of at least a million each. A great
deal lias been said in the last few years by the
opponents of a Protective Tariff concerning the
origin of fortunes in the United States, the
great majority of which have been, by them,
attributed to the operations of the Protective
Tariff. " Your thieving tariff" and the " tribute
wrung from the people by your protected robber
barons" are expressions which have been flung
at the Republican party and the friends of Pro-
tection for many years. Free trade orators and
newspapers have denoimced the "robbery" of
the Tariff and the supposed large profits of
.manufa/cturers, and have apparently sought to
create the belief that, were it not for the Tariff,
great fortunes would be comparatively unknown
in the United States, and, as they say, " wealth
would be more evenly distributed among the
people." In view of these and similar charges,
curiosity led The Tribune to analyze the
sources of the respective fortunes enjoyed by
the 122 persons above referred to. The
Teibune discovered, as expected, that not to
exceed 30 of the whole 122 men of great wealth
had made their fortunes in industries protected
by the Tariff. It published its conclusions
and challenged a reply. No reply was ever
made.
The attacks on the " Tariff robbers" did not
cease, however, and the Farmers' Alliance be-
gan to assert that there were 31,000 "million-
aires" in the United States, aU of them having
accumulated their wealth by the " robbery" of
the people. In October, 1890, The Tribune
resolved in the interest of the public at large,
especially of the Republican party of the United
States, to ottain the exact facts about this whole-,
question, and to ascertain, once for all, first, how
many " millionaires" there actually are in the
United States, and secondly, the " lines of busi-
ness" in which their fortunes have been ac-
guired, discriminating between the occupations-
protected by the Tariff and those not protected.
Accordingly for more than a year and a half
The Tribune has conducted a careful, ener-
getic and exhaustive investigation extending to
every State and Territory of the country. More
than 1,500 well-informed persons, in different
parts of the United States, have assisted cheer-
fully in the compilation— merchants, bankers,
commercial agencies, lawyers, surrogates of
counties, trustees, and other citizens in a position,
to know the facts reported by them. Some of
them have taken great trouble on behalf of
The Tribune ; and this paper thanks them
heartily.
May 1, 1892, The Tribune began the pub-
lication of the names and " lings of business" in
which the several fortunes have been made.
Five instalments were printed, a week apart.
With each instalment The Tribune extended
a cordial invitation to all under whose in-
spection the lists should fall to report omissions
and corrections. More than 200,000 people
have read the Hsts ; and the whole exhibit has
been under the criticism of the public for a full
month. Every person mentioned in the lists, as
published, was also asked, by circular sent to
him by mail, to report corrections. These in-
vitations have been accepted by several hundred
LIBRARY OF TEIBUNE EXTRAS.
people in a]] ; and, in its revised and corrected
form, the list is now given to the public in this
pamphlet.
While every effort has been put forth to make
this publication complete and accurate, and
while we believe that it is now substantially cor-
rect, The Teibunb does not pretend that it is
absolutely free from errors. There are possibly
a few omissions even yet, on the one hand, and
on the other there are undoubtedly a few cases
of overrating. Exactly what is claimed for this
list is, that it is a substantially complete and
correct catalogue of the persons in the United
States who are reputed, by their friends and
neighbors, and by weU-informed business men
in their respective communities, to be worth a
million or more of property, or in very close
proximity to a million ; and it is accompanied in
almost every case with a statement of the " Unes
of business" in which the respective fortunes
have been accumulated. The Tribune is con-
fident that this pamphlet errs, if at all, on the
side of fairness, and shows rather more than
the actual number of " millionaires" rather than
less. There has been, with reference to some
names, a conflict of authorities. If some of the
persons herein named are not actually '' million-
aires," they may know, at any rate, that the.y
are " reputed" so to be.
On the whole, the list may be taken as fairly
complete and accurate.
No attempt has beerf made to estimate the ex-
act wealth of the persons who are named in these
lists. The fact is, no one can teU exactly how
much any man is woith, until after he has
passed away ' and his executors have paid his
debts and settled up the estate. A man's profits,
or his opportunities, or his style of living, some-
times lead to the popular belief that he is worth
many millions. But no one knows about his
losses ; or whether he really took advantage of
his opportuniti 3S ; or what sums of money he has
given away to public institutions or his re-
latives ; or what sums of money he is owing for.
Popular estimates of the exact wealth of dif-
erent persons are exceedingly wide of the truth,
most of the time, and it would be so difficult,
expensive, and, in fact, inquisitive, to obtain
expert estimates, that it is better not to go into
that branch of the subject at all. A case in
point will show how mistaken is the popular
idea of S3me people's wealth. The president
of one of the great railroads of the country was
lately mentioned in a published list of a few
hundred " millionaires" as worth the enormous
sum of $20,000,000. If this upright, able and
honorable man had actually taken advantage of
the opportunities he has had of operating for his
own benefit, he might possibly have accumu-
lated the sum of money named. But he has al-
ways managed the road in the interest of its
stockholders ; and he is actually worth not more
than a million, if, indeed, he is worth that.
Some of the man reported, a year ago, when this
investigation first began, as worth a mUlion,
have died since then ; and their estates have
been found far below the million mark. It is
hard, therefore, to say, who is certainly worth
a million. It is sufficient for the purposes of
this investigation if a man is reputed, by care-
ful and weU-informed neighbors, to be worth
in close proximity to a miUion— or more.
A number of " estates" have been included in
the list, because either they are those of persons
(most of them lately deceased), whose property
remains undivided, or else they are those o*
persons who did not leave so large an. amount
as a mmion to any single legatee, so far as can
be discovered. Estates like those of Stephen
Girard, of Philadelphia, are not referred to.
They belong to that remote period of time be^
fore the Civil War, and have no bearing on the
issues of the present day.
In the following exhibit, wherever the fortune
has been made in an industry whose existence
or profitable pursuit is due to the Protective
Tariff, the fact is indicated by an asterisk pre-
C3ding the name.
In a nimber of c:se; tw j aster-sks precsde the
name. Th3se a e instacc-S where the f jriune has
been made in a business in which, while there is
a duty on the competing foreign product, there
is, nevertheless, a doubt whether the Tariff is
necessary to the profitable pursuit of the busi-
ness. Is cattle raising on the plains of the
West a "protected industry"? The duty on
foreign cattle protects the American farmers
living near the Canada line, but does it protect
the cattle raiser on the plains? Is the manu-
facture of a Yankee invention, whose sale in
this country is protected by a patent, a " pro-
tectsd industry ?" A doubt exists ; and these
cases are therefore separated from the others.
The "science of wealth" is the proper study
of every man, whose activity lies in any
field, like that of statesmanihip or journalism,
in which what he does affects the welfare of
the community at large. That which creates
wealth in any country is of the deepest im-
portance to all. If all of the fortunes of the
United States were the product of the Pro-
tsctive Tariff, that fact might be a powerful
argument for that kind of a tariff. But, The
Tiibuna's investigation has proved that the
tariff is not the source of more than about
ons-fouith of the fortunes of its prosperous
citizens. The final tabulation at the end of
these lists sho-svs that very clearly ; and the
lists themselves present a variety of curious and
interesting data on this point.
A tabulation of the " lines of business" fol-
lows the lists themselves ; and this publication
win close with a discussion of the general sub-
ject by RosweU G. Horr.

ZIN£:S OF BUSINESS, IN DETAIL.
CLASSIFICATION, BY STATES.
Who can teU exactly how to classify some
lortunes? Levi P. Morton began as a c'eck in
a little dry goods store in a country village of
New-England ; lie showed aptitude for business,
was sent to Boston to buy goods lor the store,
did so well that lie finally went to Boston to op-
erate ; built up a retail business into
a wholesale business ; removed to New-
York and grew rich there as a wholesale
dry-goods merchant ; retired from trade, and went
into banldng; and with his partners, as banker,
negotiator of loans, and manager of reorganiza-
tion schemes, added, to an already large fortune,
a, larger one. ShaU he be classified as a " mer-
chant" or a "banker?"
The original John Jacob Astor was a buyer of furs
from the Indians and trappers, and a vender of
them at home and in Europe ; he grew rich in
this profitable trade and invested all his earn-
ings in real estate ; and the enormous growth of
■Kew-York City and continued purchases of subur-
ban land by his descendants have created the
greatest two properties in real estate anywhere
to be found in America. Are the Astor fortunes
due to " merchandising" or " advance in value of
real estate."
George Law began life as a laborer in building
the Erie canal. He then took contracts to build
small sections of that canal. He then became a
railroad builder and contractor ; built part of the
Croton aqueduct at New-York City and the High
'Bridge ; invested in a bank, and purchased a con-
trolling interest in the Harlem and Mohawk Eail-
road. He then went into lines of steamers to
the Isthmus of Panama in the California trade,
this being part of the coasting trade, and protected
by our navigation laws. He built the Eastern
«nd of the Panama Eailroad, a very profitable
contract, and then built the Kighth and Ninth
Avenue street railrpads in New-York City, and
had a profitable ferry line across the East Kiver.
He died worth several millions. Everything he
touched made money for him. Was his fortune
due to any "protected" industry, or to "non-
protected" industries?
It will readily be seen that a number of knotty
questions have arisen in the attempt to classify
some of the fortunes named in the preceding pages.
The principle followed by the compiler has been
to seek out the controlling factor in the creation
of the fortune as far as possible. In oases of
doubt, the fortune has been classified as made
under the Protective Tariff, so as to remove every
possible ground for challenging the fairness of
The Tribune's conclusions. We believe that fewer
fortuces have been made in protected industries
than are here shown, but tiiis only makes the
figures below the stronger.

FORTUNES AND THE TARIFF.
NOT SO MANY "MILLIONAIRES" IN THE
UNITED STATES AS HAS BEEN SUPPOSED.
NOX-PKOTECTED OCCUP.^TIO.VS THE ORI&IX OW
THREE-POURTHS OF ALTj THE GREAT
FORTUNE- OF THE COUXTRT — THE
TARIFF PLAYS A MIXOR PART IX
THE ACCUMULATIOX OF
GR:^AT WEALTH.
The Tribune lias completed the publication of
its lists of the "millionaires" of the United State-..
The name of each " millionaire " has been printed
(to show that The Tribune's conclusions rest on
facts), and a statement has been made of the
trades, occupations or industry in which each
person's great wealth has been accumulated. I
desire to say, that while the lists have been com-
piled with great care, and at th'> cost of long
and patient labor, and while every effort has
been made to discover ard correct every error,
there are, no doubt, even yet some names in the
lists of persons who are refiuted to be worth more
than they really are, and possibly s-ome persons
have been overlooked who ought to have been
named. The total number of these mistakes, how-
ever, there is every reason to believe, is cvceed-
ingly few, and the general result would probably
not be changed in the slightest degree by the
final correction of every error.
If any reader feels inclined, because he knows
of one, two or three ei-rors in these lists, to
declare that the whole exhibit is vitiate 1 thTCby,
let me say ti him : Take anj' one State and
compile a list of its actual or reputed "million-
aires" yourself! Make out tlie list from such
data as you may be able to collect! You will
learn two things. First, you will find the task
no easy one, and next, you will become convinced
that The Tribune's lists are, after all, sulistan-
tially correct, and you will be inspired with
respect for the work of an honest and thorough-
going compiler, who has performed this same tasic
for each one of the whole forty-four States and
for all of tlie Territories. So much tor the
Accuracy of the work.
Now for some of tlie lessons which this publica-
tion teaches.
WHY MEN SEEK WEALTH.
Every human being feels the need of a cer-
tain amount of wealth over and above that which
is required to satisfy his actual needs day by day.
Food, clothing and shelter are actual necessities.
These every man must have to preserve his liealth
and maintain his life, day by day. But no human
being is satisfied with merely this. Provision
must be made by the accumulation of surplus
wealth for periods of siclcncss, when a man cannot
work, for vacations, and for old age, when the
capacity for hard work has passed. I'liere is a
craving for wealth even beyond this. Every in-
dividual has in'.elleotual and spiritual wants which
can be gratified only by expenditures in excess of
what are required by his absolute necessities.
And wlien all of our individual wants have been
provided for, theft there is the community at large
—the town, the State, and tlie Nation. Wagon-
roads are required, stage and railroad lines, forti-
fications, safe depositories for money, and the
thousand and one other things which are neces-
sary to the welfare of a community as
a whole which can never be provided for by a
single man, but must be created by the joint
investment of the surplus wealth accumulated
))y a large number of separate individuals. In
the infancy of communities every individual is
poor and the State is poor. Those things which
tend to bring wealth to individuals, and thus
to that aggregate of individuals, the community
at large, are therefore of the highest importance
to all.
The science of wealth, the study of those
causes which tend to create prosperity, has oc-
cupied the attention of the public men of the
whole world from the earliest times to the pres-
ent day,' and must continue always to do so.
Every form of human activitj' which promotes
the wealth of the individual and those of the
Nation is of the deepest importance to the peo-
ple and to every student of public affairs; and
statesmen who are wise and patriotic will not
ignore any one of them. The country which
lias in operation within its borders the largest
number of means for producing wealth will grow
rich the most rapidly, and its people should be
the most happy, powerful and great.
Now, in the accumulation of wealth, some in-
dividuals will grow rich more rapidly than others.
Natural talents, opportunity, the inheritance of
a little capital with which to begin business with-
out the delay caused by the necessity of earning
and saving, inventions, etc., wUl alwaj's favor
some men more than others. The genius of man
even leads from time to time to the accumula-
tion, here and there, of a colossal fortune. Now^
up to a certain point, aU men agree
that the growth in wealth of individuals
is a positive benclit to the community at

large, because it makes possible the oonstruotiou
of great public works and tbe creation of great
facilities for production, bj- means of wbtcb the
cost of living is reduced for the whole com-
munity ; it provides comforts ; and it beautifies
tihe homes of the city and the country.
ONLX 4,047 MILLIONAIRES.
But some people contend fihat, beyond a cer-
t€iin point, the growth of wealth in the possession
of individuals ceases to be a public benefit.
If the bulk of the property of any given country,
or even a half or a quarter of it, should fall into
the possession of a few hundred or a few thou-
sand persons (as is the case in England), the
power of the few persons would be so great
that the rights of the people at large might bo
disregarded by them and trespassed upon. It
is claimed, and has been claimed over amd
over again, during the last three months, that
that time has Virtually come in the United
States; that there are in this country the im-
mense number of from 30,000 to 31,000 " million-
^res;" that a formidalbje proportion of the
property of the country is in their possession;
and that the majority of these men have accumu-
lated their wealth by engaging in industries pro-
tected by the tariff, which, as they say, " legalizes
the robbery of the people." I have repeatedly
shown in these columns that the protective tariff
is not only not a tax upon or robbery of the
I>eople, but a positive benefit to them. The Trili-
une's lists of " millionaires" now disposes, once
for all, and forever, of the claim that there are
31,000 millionaires in the United States, owning
nearly half of the property of the country. In
place of 31,000, there are only 4,047, about one-
eighth as many as these modern croakers are wont
to claim. And of the 4,047 only
1,125 obtained their wealth through
"protected" industries (the great majority of
even these having made a large part of their wealth
by investing their savings in non-protected indus-
tries). Of the total number, 140 have become rich
in cattle raising and in the manufacture of pat^
en ted articles, proprietary medicines, etc., which
are not clearly in the protected list; in 55 cases
the origin of the fortune is not reported : while
the great number of 2,727 obtained their wealth
in occupations which are not protected at all,
such as the purchase and sale of goods, the build-
ing and management of railroads, real estate de-
velopment, mines, and other such enterprises. Let
us hear no more clamor about the great fortunes
all being due to the "robbery" of the people
under a protective tariff.
So far from half the property of the country
being in the ownership of "millionaires," not to
exceed one-tenth part of even that which is
assessed by the tax gatherer is in the ownership
of these persons.
A Protectionist might be able to claim, with
some show of proof, that even if all the fortunes
of the United States, large and small, had been
made uHder the protective tariff, that fact might
be a powerful argument in favor of such a tariff.
Large fortunes can be made only when the people
at large are prosperous, buying large CLuantities
of goods every year at good prices, and spending
money freely for recreation and health ; and the
Protectionist believes that the prosperity
of the American people is largely due to the
protective tariff. But it is the fact that not
more than about 28 per cent of the rich men of
the United States have made their money in
protected industries. And the lesson which this
teaches is import:int. The Tribune's exhibit leaves
no chance for doubt that large fortunes can be.
and are, accumulated by good business manage-
ment without regard to special protection to pe-
culiar industries extended by the laws of the coun-
try. Good judgment and close adherence to cor-
rect bueiness principles lead to success in all Idndss
of business alike.
EICH, XET HONETT.
The common statement that no man can make
a large fortune honestly is not true. Money is
often made in large sums by men who never
wronged a fellow-man out of a single cent. I am
writing this article on the oars between Helena
and Bismarck. Attached to our train is the pri-
vate car of one of these "millionaires," George
W. Childs, of Philadelphia. At twelve years of
age Mr. Ohilds landed in Philadelphia with only
$3 in his pocket, and went to work at §3 a week,
paying §2 50 a week for his board. To-day he
owns, individuallj-, one of the great newspapei'S of
this country. His income is enormous. He has given
away in worthy charities monej' enough to maike
several large fortunes . To see him is to
love him. I do not believe that he ever wronged
a fellow-man out of a single dollar, Yet he la
rich, very rich, as the world goes. He combines
the gentleness and warm-heartedness of a woman
vrith the keen sense ot a No. 1 business man.
The charm of his conversation is simply fascinat-
ing. He took "The Public Ledger" when it
was losing money rapidly. By untiring industry,
good judgment and marvellous business sense, he
converted that journal into one of the ablest
newspapers of this country, and in doing s» he
made for himself a very large fortune. His in-
come is princely. He is noted for lilierality and
fair dealing with all who work in his establish-
ment. Every man who has purchased one of hia
papers has always received his money's worth.
His materials have always been paid for at the
market price. Those who advertise in Ids columns
have had value received. And yet he has ac-
cumulated great wealth .
There are men who constantlj' assert tliat no
man can become as rich as George W. Childs with-
out robbing some one. Will these gentlemen
point out what human being Mi-. Childs has
wronged, whom of his fellow-creatuies he has
robbed ? I doubt if there Uves the man who
can say that he was ever wronged by Mr. Childs
out of a dollar. I cannot for the life of me see
why Mr. Childs is not just as much entitled to
AMEEICAN MILLIONAIRES.
93
his millions aa I am to the few dollars only
which I have saved. If he is not, vphy not?
Some men accumulate great wealth; a much
larger number remain poor. I wish every one
had a competency, enough to live on comfortably.
Because they do not, it by no means follows that
those who succeed do so by robbing others.
CAN FORTUNES BE LIMITED?
It sometimes seems to me that the aocumula^
tion of very large fortunes should be prevented.
I then ask myself how and why. Suppose that
Mr. Childs shall so manage as ta double the cir-
culation and patronage of his great daily. His
income would instantly double and his wealth
would be greatly increased. Would any one be
done a wrong by ffioh an occurrence.!' Who has
the right to control hie efforts or limit his en-
deavors ? • The more I study this problem the
more I become satisfied that whatever a man ac-
cumulates honestly that he should have the rigiht
to own and control. If not, why not? Is not
the possibility of accumulating wealth the great
inducement to industry, energy and perseverance ?
The proper distribution of the wealth created
by joint action of a large number of people is a
problem, which has engaged a great deal of at-
tention. I do not believe it wiU ever be solved
by limiting the amount of wealth which any one
individiial shall be permitted to accumulate.
Once enter upon that road and the liability is
that there will be no stop short of preventing
all accumulation. I cannot believe that such a
result would benefit the human race or end in
human progress and happiness. The distribution
of accumulations aJt the time of a man's death,
however, may receive the attention of law-makers,
and is liJcely to do so in the future. I may refer
to this again in a future article, as well as to
other features of the general subject of "million-
aires." This article is suflSciently long already.
Before closing^ let me say that The Tribune
thanks most sincerely the nearly 1,500 persons
who have kindly written letters and aided
in the completion of these lists of " millionaires. "
They have been consulted on account of their great
experience and large know. edge about the men aai
business of their localities. Their kind and
courteous replies are hereby acknowledged with
sincere thanks. There are a few people who
think the publication of a list of " millionaires"
indecorous. It is amazing how any business man
or person of sense can take such \ view of this
undertaking. The same reasoning would put
a stop to the taking of every census, and to everj
effort to measure the growth and prosperity of
any country.
Men of brains who study great eoonomlo
question; are never weary in seeking all possible
data to aid them in the solution of financial ques-
tions. 01 what great importance it would be to
the student of social life in this country, if he
could possess a list of all the persons worth
$5,000 and upward in the United States! How
such a list would spike the guns of agitators like
General Weaver and Jerry Simpson!

**Our CMnceg";
UR CHAUNCEV" is Chauncey M. Depew, the masterly leader of the Harrison forces at Minneapolis,
who made the principal speech there renominating the President. Mr. Depew is acknowledged to
be the foremost of American orators, brilliant, spark-
ling, sound and sagacious. His after-dinner
both the models and despair of his
f^^ii^"--
are
^jv^~
speeches
rivals.
"Our Chauncey" is a poem, by Isaac H.
, L-Jromley, illustrated profusely and comically^by Dan
Beard and C. D. Gibson, two of the best pen-and-ink artists in New York
City. When first read in New York City, before the Yale College boys, it
was received with one prolonged burst of laughter and applause, which
lasted to the end. It describes the fatigue of great Jupiter over the average
common-place after-dinner speech, and his determination, announced in a
voice of thunder, on Olympus to all the assembled court, to produce an
orator who would not talk common-place. He discovers Chauncey M.
Depew in his cradle, to the delight ol the whole Olympian throng, and his bringing up
and education as an orator are delightfully and amusingly told in the poem. It is a
poem for college men, club men, politicians, and every lover of a bright, amusing,
handsomely illustrated book.
No doubt every admirer of "Our Chauncey" will be delighted to be able to
possess the poem in a permanent and really beautiful form, embellished by capital
drawings and enriched by the poet with a series of excruciating notes. It is a
delicious piece
of fun, and it is
moreover thor-
oughly posses-
sed of a spirit of
genial and sin-
cere admiration
for its eloquent
subject. Mr.
Bromley's hu-
mor, whether in
prose or verse, is
too well known
and too highly
and generally
appreciated t o
need special comment ; but it is doubtful whether he has ever done his wit more credit than in these dashing,
rollicking and brilliant verses.

THE CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE & ST. PAUL RAILWAY COMPANY
now operates over SIXTY-ONE HUNDRED MILES of thoroughly
equipped road in
ILLINOIS, WISCONSIN, NORTHERN MICHIGAN, MIN-
NESOTA, IOWA, MISSOURI, SOUTH & NORTH DAKOTA.
Each recurring year its lines are extended in all directions to meet the
necessities of the rapidly populating sections of country west, northwest
and southwest of Chicago, and to furnish a market for the products of the
greatest agricultural and stock raising districts of the world.
In Illinois it operates 317 miles of track; in Wiscon-
sin, 1,636 miles; in Northern Michigan 96 miles;
in Iowa 1,551 miles; in Minnesota 1,115 miles; in
South Dakota 1,092 miles; in North Dakota 118
miles; in Missouri 140 miles,
and the end is not yet. It has terminals in such large cities as
Chicago, Milwaukee, La Crosse, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Fargo,
Sioux City, Council Bluffs, Omaha and Kansas City, and St.
Joseph, Mo.,
and along its lines are hundreds of large and small thriving cities, towns,
and villages. Manufacturing interests are cultivated, and all branches of
trade find encouragement. The Railway Company has a just appreciation
of the value of its patrons, and its magnificent earnings are the result of
the good business tact which characterizes the management of its affairs.
M^HE popularity of the line is attested by the fact that notwithstanding the
^^ strongest kind of competition of old and new lines, the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway continues
to carry the greater proportion of all the business be-
tween Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis
It is the best patronized route between Chicago, Council Bluffs and Omaha, and
to and from all points in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Dakota and Iowa, and its Kansas
City and St. Joseph line has taken equal rank with the older lines leading to and
from the Southwest.
On all its through lines of travel the Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. Paul
Railway runs the most perfectly equipped trains of Sleeping, Parlor and
Dining Cars and Coaches. The through trains on all its lines are syste-
matically heated by steam. No effort is spared to furnish the best accomoda°'
tions for the least money, and, in addition, patrons of the road are sure of
courteous treatment from its employes.
