THE ARMOUR KIND OF
MILLIONAIRE.
" The late Philip D. Armour appears to
have bsen a millionaire who made the
maximum of money while doing the
minimum of harm to others. He was
accused of raising the price of meat,
but it was found that dnmand exceed
ing supply had raised the price. -He
gave employment to thousands of men.
He made every animal his men killed
more useful to the world than ever such
animal had been before. He UBed every
part of any edible carcass for some, pur
pose. He made money by finding out
new things the people wanted and sup
plying them. He gave the world, on
the whole, a better quality of meat food
than it had ever had before. And the
'money he made in bo doing he gladly ex
pended in charity of an unostentatious
sort, no lees than by such actions as the
endowment of the Armour Institute.
He was not a gambler, but a creator of
wealth. His death affected the gamb
ling end of finance not at all, because
he was not in any way identified with it.
He was always on the look out for
worthy young men and helped them to
realize their opportunities. He was not,
bo far as anyone haa discovered, one of
the millionaires who made a specialty of
corrupting politics. His wealth did
him no moral harm. It neither hard
ened his heart, nor swelled his head.
Against him none of the country's most
vociferous irreconcilables has uttered a
condemnatory word. It is not claimed,
anywhere, that what he possessed ber,
longed of right to any one else. He
made more than a million without steal
ing, a thing we have been told is im
possible. Was Mr. Armour an excep
tiou to millionaires? It is hardly pos
sible. The average American million
aire is so by virtue of hard work and
brains alone, and the- lawless, wolfish.
robbing millionaire is thYexception, not
the rule. There are more wolf-millionaires,
lately, than there were, but still
the average of rich men shows ue men
of simple lives, honest intentions, demo
cratic spirit and, to a greater or less ex
tent, a desire to use their money in some
way tb&t will help tbeirfllaws.with'out
pauperizing them. It may be said that
the system under which millionaires are
possible is wrong. Well, tell that to
the boy at home and he will laugh to
6Corn the idea. Tell it to anyone who be
lieves in progress and he will say that
if the world is to be a better world for
the masses it can only be through de
veloping the qualities of individuals.
The man who can win fortune can do 60,
generally, only through the exercise of
the qualities which are to be the gener
al qualities o! individuals. The example
of Philip D. Armour is not going to
hurt anyone, morally. It will not make
anyone less honest, less kind. It will
make everyone put forth his best, not
altogether for the money to be made,
but for the satisfaction that comes of
doing something exceedingly well. Put
the mark of contentment at a million
and, in this country, we should have
men stagnating at thirty-five or forty
years. Limit wealth ' and you limit ef
fort. Every man has a right to make
as much money as be can make, as sure
ly as he has a right to live as long as he
can. If he makes noney-wrongfuHy he
will atone for it in some way. If he
maka money and if be use it well, he is
a benefactor of his kind, and if a man
make money in these days it is not well
to apply even unto him the saying:
"Judge not lest ye be judged." The
average millionaire is probably as hon
est and as honorable and as gentle and
as generous as the average critic of his
career. Your altruist is too often the
least just or charitable of men. How
many of our denunciators of millionaires
would refuse to be millionaires, or being
such would do as much for their feljowe
at men like Armour or Carnegie or
Pierpont Morgan? The Mirror.
