ANDREW CARNEGIE ON WEALTH.

Here are a tew remarks written by Millionaire Andrew Carnegie and printed in the last number of the Review of Reviews, under the heading ‘ 1 My Partners —the People”;—“We are yet as a nation in the heydey of youth. In time we shall tone down and live simpler lives and create different standards. Wealth will be dethroned as higher tastes prevail, its pursuit become less absorbing and less esteemed, and , above all, the mere man of wealth himself will come to realise that in the estimation of those of the wisest judgment he has no place with the educated, Professional man. He occupies a distinctly lower plane intellectually, and in the coming day Brain is to stand above Dollars, Conduct above both. The making ot money as an aim will then be rated as an ignoble ambition. No man has ever secured recognition, much less fame, from mere wealth. It confers no distinction among the good or the great.”
