THE I'SES OF WEALTH
There are men who believe that
as Rome grew rich and fell, so Am
erica will grow rich and fall.
Wealth will beget luxury, and lux
ury will breed a weak race of
soft-handed men. We shall sur
render ourselves to a feverish, un
: rest-ng search for gold. The rich
| will despoil the poor and corrupt
| law. In such a mercenary common
1 wealth, writes a great American
! teac'..er, "the magistrates of the
i nation will judge for a considera
I tion, the priests thereof will teach
for hire, *he prophets thereof will
I divine for mony, the princes there
ot will be companions of thieves;
! every one loving gifts and following
i after rewards."
The error in these doleful predic
| tio'is lies in a failure to distinguish
| between ancient wealth and modern.
I The analogy with Rome halts on all
| fours. Rome suffered not beocause
! it was wealthy (it was poor com
pared to the England, Fiance, Gor
! many or America of loday), but be
cause its wealth was ill-gotten, ill
used aud ill-distributed. Wealth
came to Italy through exactions
froai conquered populations, not
i'rom the labors of free Roman citi
zens, and such spoliation destroys
booty in the taking. Nor did the
