THE CITIZEN The Rich and the Poor. During the last few weeks our country has been the scene ot a series of pilgrim ages, all directed to the shrine of the Fed eral capitol, and having for their object some mysterious alleviation by goverment al methods of the hardships of the poor man's life. The central idea underlying these organizations seems to be that as money is the embodiment of man's posses sions and opens np to him the road to happiness on earth, and as the govern ment possesses the right to coin money in its mints and print bills in its offices, that it also can be for the nonce the creator of money. The members of these pilgrim ages, termed Coxey's Army, Kelly's Army and the like, propose to go to Washington, and by their presence so imposing a demonstration as to influence legislation in the desired direction. One scheme is to have the government issue bonds, bearing no interest and payable in install ments. Whatever one's opinion may be of the right of a man to be rich, it is far from clear how the proposed issue of bonds eould be conducted so as to produce any good affect. As the world is organized and as humanity is constituted, there will always be rich and poor. The deserving inventor who has worn his life out in de vising improvements in mechanical things, the scientists who has worked for hours evolviDg in the labratoiy new chemical products, the bacteriologist who fiuds a panacea for the most dreaded diseases, certanly rank as the benefactors ofhuman ity; but the history of the world shows that it is precisely these classes who re ceive the benefit least commensurate with the value of their work, when its impor tance to the re6t of humanity is consid ered. The inventor invents and patents and the capitalist makes the fortune from the invention. This is the story repeated over and over again. Vet unjust and severe as it oeetn*, this is the definite lot of humaaity. and there is no probaiblity that the cure of inequality of fortune will ever be discovered. The typical inventor invents because he his to, and he may hope to reap a modest leward from his work. Whether he does or does not, his very genius will not al low him to be idle. The apparent injus tice has to he ei.dured. But in spite of communistic tendencies of the age on one side, and of the undue accumulation of wealth by the fe» on the other side, ex amples sometimes appear where the benefactor of humanity Irom the stand point of scientific or mechanical advance ment meets with an adequate reward. In a recent address before Ihe old Xew York society, the Geueral ciety of Mechanics and Tradesmen, Mr. Abrain S. Hewitt, well known from his prominence in the iron industry, as well as Irom his political record, gave a most graphic presentation of the rei-ults of the work of one of the worlds greatest benefactors, Bessemer. We quote from the concluding portions of his address: "You all know about the Bessemer in vention of steel. It was made in 1855 by a student in his laboratory. He propound ed his idea to the world, but it took fifteen years before it was successfully put in op eration. I know Mr. Bessemer very well. He is a modest mau who never sought to make a fortune, but h.- has taken the re wards of bi» great invention, and he told me the last time I saw him in Loudon that he had got out of his invention £2, 000 (Wo—nearly *10,000,000. The contrib ution which lie made to the world by that in venlioii in the saving it has effected in the ordinaiy operators of society is *i:ijp:y incalculable. If I were to say we were saving *1,000,000,000 a year in thiscouutry alone as the result of that invention ap plied to every branch of industry, particu larly iu tbo transportation of the goods and the products of the country, I should certainly underestimate the amount. And now 1 am going to say something even more surprising. Taking the world to gether, the saving effected by that inven tion is greater than the total value of all the movable capitol of the world one hundred years ago. "One man, by a single invention, has contributed to the aggregate wealth of the world more value than existed fifty years before his birth. Now he has got ten millions of dollars It is a great sum. He will leave it to his children, who have done nothing, have contributed nothing to the acquisition of this money. Whom has he robbed? Whom w'U his children rob. Who wonld he the gainer if he had never received one penny for discoveryT How much would the distribution of his *10,000,000 over the face of society add to the fortune of any single individual, and how much has his invention added to the fortunes of all mankind'"— Scientific American. —Rheumatism cured in a day—"Mystic cure" for rheumatism and neuralgia, radio ally cures iu 1 to 3 days.
