MILLIONAIRES.

.Millionaires are lunch-talked about, .sometimes much envied, and often much hated, hi England just now the newspapers are devoting quite a. lot of attention to millionaires and their money. One writer in the November “Strand” points out that the wealth of Messrs. Rockefeller, Astor, Morgan, Rothschild, Carnegie, and Strathcona far exceeds the total value of the product of British industry for a whole year. Nearly seven millions of workers, toiling six days a week, produced a net output of British industry for 1910-11 of 712 million pounds. These six men would lie able to pay for all the result of a year’s toil accumulated by a whole nation of toilers. They could buy up all the wealth of a year—all the machinery, all the manufactured goods, all the steel, all the iron, all the tobacco, all the sugar. That is what

uch wealth as theirs means.
