ROCKEFELLEN'S WARNING.
THE BURDEN OF WEALTH.

Mr. Rockefeller declared that the majority of people were so crazed by prosperity that they spent their money foolishly. Life seemed to be one long race for pre-eminence in dissipat ing fortunes. They spent too much for clothes, motor-cars, extravagant dinners, etc.

THE JAPANESE SHIPPING. COMBINE.
Among the numberless fresh undertaklogs springing up in all parts of the country, writes the Japan Chronicis editorially, none is of more general interest and importance than the Nip pas Kisen Kaisha, the long talked of steam- skip combine, preliminary arrangements' for the formation of which are said to be now almost complete. The general public of Japan appears to be showing great interest in the company and its prospects; but although the combine will, be a, larga concern with a capital of Y30,000,000 it will not be neces
Mr. Rockefeller added that great wealth was * terrible bürden and in order to make' it a blessing the holder must de good to his followsary to place large number of shares on the market for subscription, The reason for this In view of the warning delivered by Mr.is bat one half of the capital is to be Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury, a few days
· ago that Amorica was ino' prosperous, and that a great reaction must follow, Mr. Rockefeller's statements have attracted widespread attention, and are generally commented on by to-day's Dewspapers.
The unbounded extravagance criticised by Mr. Rockefeller is due to the unparalleled prosperity in America, Another New York correspondent gives a remarkable picture of the prevailing conditions which have made the people money mad." He writes as follows
The season of unbounded prosperity began twelve years ago, and si ce then the speculative fever has increased steaddy, until to-day it is univers~1.
All classes are influenced by the one desire to get rich quickly. The stendy output of machine-made" millinaires in Pittsburg, 'where the United States Steel Trust flourishes, bas stirred the ambition of every man; from tha Steel Trust officials who are still dependent on, their salaries to the newly arrived trish emigrant who has a brother in the police force, The sudden elevation of humble workmen into high positions and the acquisition of vast fortunes which have not been earned have done more to demoralise industrial America than any other phase of the prosperity boom.
subscribed by the ship-owners who join in the company, while the greater part of the remain. ing Y10,000,000 will be taken up by the promoters, supporters, and qthers who are concerned in the scheme. As evidencing the public interest in the undertaking, it is of interest to note that already applications in advance for 300,000 shares have been received from persons in all stations of life and not directly interested in the shipping industry. The enterprise being, more or less of a national character, it in slated to be the desira of the promoters that as many shares as possible should be distributed amongst the outside public.

Unlike many of the new undertakings which depend entirely upon future prospects, the ippon Kisen Kaisha will be in a position to carry on business re-immediately on the completion of the formal preliminaries connected with the flotation, so that shareholders may expect to receive a proper dividend of profit from the outset. As Mr. Nishikawa, one of the promoter of the new company, remarked in discussing their prospects the other day, if a shipping company could fur.ulate a plan by which a reasonable profit could be practi, cally guaranteed within a short space of time at a juncture when general depression is pier vailing throughout the trade its foundation must of necessity be said to be placed on a solid basis. If, for instance, the new company could estimate. with any degree of certainty à dividend of 6 per cent, at a time when one of the hitherto leading companies is paying no dividend at all, the new venture could be looked to for a 16 per cent, dividend while the other would be only'p ying 15 per cent.

A well-known industrial journal declared cently that Mr. Andrew Carnegie, by selecting certain men in his Pittsburg companies to be millionaries, had more than neutralised the good done by his libraries and technical schools; Mr. Carnegle is, the financial god father of more than a dozen millionaires, who began life as small salaried employés in one of his steel companies.

The prevalling mania is not a desire primari- ly to amass fortunes without working. On the contrary, thousands of men are killing them selves by working night and day, without re- creation of any kind, in order to keep pace with their fellow competitors in the race for fortunes, The lunacy`records of the past five years show an alarming increase in the number, of cases of business men suffering from incurable brain disease. The insane asylume in New, York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and other great Industrial conirescontain scores of inmates who bave collapsed mentally from overwork.
