STORIES OF WEALTH EXAGGERATED.
"Yes, but not in recent ytars. In
fact, it never was as rich as tho world
thought it; Tho idea of tho great
wealth of tho society probably came
from tho knowlcdgo that somowhoro
it had a great buried treasure, besides
the stories of its holdings of railroad,
bridge, water and other stock led to
ideas of iabulous wealth.
"Tho fact of tho matter whb that
tho buried gold, whioh probably nt
most amounted to about $500,000, was
exhausted long ago. Contributions
nrobablv ceased about tho timo of
Father Ilnpp's death. I think the
most of it was taken out as long ago
as the time of tho war, when cold was
nt a premium. Tho last $100,000 was
used to buy Lako Erio railroad
stock."
"What sjBtcm did tho society have
in tho way of keeping its financial
accounts ?"
"There was no regular system of
accounting by tho trustees or anybody
else. If there had been, both tho so
ciety and tho world would havo known
tho truo state of affairs long before
either did. That is why tho discov
ery was such a blow to mo.
"Tho world thought tho society
worth millions. I found it to bo pos
sensed of little or nothing beyond
dead assets, and an indebtedness of
$1,500,000, You may faintly imag
ine the situation I was placed in.
Father llenrioi was liablo to die at
any moment, and it was absolutely
necessary that tho oltuirs or the so
ciety Bhould bo in good shapo and
given to tho world beforo his doath.
"In tliodo days it ?as a matter of
gravo concern to mo whethor it would
not bo best to resign. Nightly, as I
walked my room, I considered the
question of handing in my resigna
tion. There seemed to be absolutely
no chance of steering tho ship into
port. Tho entiro availablo assets at
that timo would have sold for not
moro than $175,000. Besides, 1 had
to faco tho difficulties and objections
of the people, who could not rcalizo
that a young man only 30 years of
age was capable ef handling such
gravo matters, to say nothing of the
obstacles cast in tho way by malevo
lent, disgruntled and malicious scamps
in tho Bceiety. who. encouraged tho
taca that I had worked niysolf into
the society to carry off its riches."
"What official pnsition did you
hold at that time ?"
"I was junior trustco, Father llen
rioi being the senior. Tho dircotion
of tho 80oiot)'8 affairs is in tho hands
ot two trustees and nino oldrs. My
position was anything but an envious
ono. Tho opposition began its woik
immediately I was mado an elder, It
had already boon engaged for some
timo in an effort to deposo Father
Henrici.
'It is perhaps not known to out
aiders that a vciitablo conspiracy was
sot ou foot in tho fall of 1891. Tho
aim then was to deposo Mr. Henrici
and mako somebody clso my compan
ion trustee. Happily I discovered
tho plot in time I found it to bo
instigated by Bomo of the younger
members who wanted the position of
trustco themselves, To counteract
this conspiracy I threatened to hand
in my resignation. I appealed to tho
older members, who insisted on my
staying, and the result was tho wholo
plot fell to tho ground."
"Why did you object to Father
Henrioi's removal from offico, particu
larly whon you found him incapablo
of dircoting tho affairs of Economy
as they should have been directed ?"
'1 objeotcd becauso I thought ho

"Why was it that tho society's
members did not understand moro
dofluitciy its real financial condition ?
Surely there was no reason why they
should have shared in tho belief of
outsiders in this respect."
"They got their ideas from what
tho outsido world said of them. They
(the members) never knew exactly
what or how tho business affairs were
boing conductod. As for tho idea of
the great wealth of tho socioty, it no
doubt dovolopcd tho same as tho stor

that it afterwards was found that his

thing."
"But did tho sooioty know nothing
of tho debts against it ?"
"Not a thing. They thought they
never had any. They novor droamed
of fluuh a thiog as debts. I thought
Mr. Lens would drop in a fit whon ho

"What was tho neoeasity for these

or was it not self-sustaining ?"

and able to meet reverses, and havo

"It was an entirely different matter
in the early days whon from its mem
bership of 800 souls a sufficient num
ber of workers could bo found to carry
on tho farm work and the various in
dustries of tho place. When thoy

necessary to havo hired holp, and
when I took hold I found tho pay-roll
amounted to between $300 nnd $400

being lost by tho farm every year. I

$15,000 a year to support tho society

tho thing running behind that much,

Everybody and everything that want

for a donation. It sont from $5,000
to $10,000 to Palestine to help out on
some sohemo or anothor to clear oU
Jerusalem, Another $1,000 was sent
to a community out in Dakota. Every
church that wanted a new altar, now
windows, now organ, new this or new
that, applied to tho Harmony socioty
for a small donation.
