‘HIS VIEWS ON LIFE An Interesting Talk With the Post- master General. BELIEVES IN THE VIRTUE OF WORK Hopeful for the Business Future of the Country. POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS (Copsrighted, 1897, by Frank G. Carpenter.) Written for The Evening Star. F ALL PRESIDENT i, O McKinley’s advisers act the man least known to the public is the Posimaster General. Stil he is one of the ablest of the cabinet _— ministers, and he has for years stood high among the business men of the United States. Through his won- derful business abili- ty he has made, I em told, a fortune of between five and six million dollars. He has cotton factories near Baltimore, in which he employs over 1,500 hands, and the oceans and rivers of the world are spotted with the snow-white sails made from the cloth turned out in his mills. General Gary has other large in- terests, and he has been made the trustee and manager of other matters even greater than his own. He is connected with bank- ing institutiors and other corporations. He is the executor of the Enoch Pratt estate, an, as such, has a large part in controlling the miilions which that philanthropist left to the people of Baltimore. His duties of Postm: iter General Gary. @his kind, in fact, have in late years so in- creased that ke has practically retired from the conduct of his private business, giving it over to his son, a young man of thirty- seven, who is his junior partner, and who shows, it is said, quite as much business wility as his father. Postmaster General Gary has always been a republican. I have seen it stated tha: he said not long ago that he had given on the average of $5,000 a year for the last thirty years toward the support of the republican party in Mary- land. He has never been an office seeker: but he has always been one of the counsel- lors of arty and has for years been a strong friend of President McKinley. When McKinley offered him the place in the, cabinet he took it, as he thought he would be able to do something there as Postmas- ter General. I am told at the department that he has already the business of the well in hard, and from the talk h I had with him last night I judge that he will a ish something before he is through. A Pen Picture of General Gary. I met Pcstmaster General Gary in his rooms at the Portland Flats and for two hours we chatted together about himself, business questions and his plans as to the de partm He h Gener: ary is a man of convictions and is not afraid He is a good talker, and now and then il- a story. He is well that he kfeps abreast .

I had ask- ed General Gary as to his business educa- tion, when he replied: “My father had curious ideas regarding the education of boys. At the time I was bern he was already well to do. He was in fact what was then considered rich. I was his only son, and he was anxious that I should net be spoiled, so he made me spend @ part of each year in the factory. I be- gan my ool life at eight, going to an academy near by and remained there until I was thirteen. After that time I was sent to schoc! only six months of each year, be- ing kept cut the remaining six months to wors.”” d a wide range.

At first I received only $5 h. I had to work and at times it seemed to me as lines had not been cast in ts s. I remember one‘Gay when yout fifteen—it is funnyehow you some things—I remember com- s hard as the Te most dloricus (6 ofa Ane rs is cycling on a Monarch.

Will you be one of the Monarch many this season? ing home that night very tired. As I en- tered the house father asked me how I felt, throwing his arm about me as he did so." I replied: “‘Father, I am dead tired. I really feel too tired to eat.’ “Upon this father’s eyes filled with tears. He sat down and pulled me down upon his knee end said: ‘My boy, I am sorry for yeu. But I aia doing what I believe to be right. It would be a good deal easier for me to let you de as you please, to give you what money you need and to keep you from work. But the chances are that you would in that case turn out to be a blark fool. The work you are doing now will be of immense value to you later on. It will make a man of you, and I know that the Gay will come when you will bless me for these hard t'mes.” “I can see my father now, in my mind’s eye,"” concluded Gen. Gary, “as he look2d when he said that. I now realize that he was right, and I have many times blessed him for training me as ‘e did. As the result of that work I know as much today about any branch of my business as any of my employes. My men have learned that they cannot fool me, and they know that if there is anything out of the way I am sure to notice it as soon as I come into the factory. Successful business, and especially successful manufacturing, is largely the result of the careful watching of details of the little things. In order to do this, you must understand all parts cf the business. The chief thing that I learn- ed, however, was how to work and wnat work meant. I learned the value of a dol- lar. I learned how to sympathize with my ™men, and today I have some of the best men in my employ that you can find in the world. My working people are content- ed. Nearly every family has its own well- furnished home, end we Rave pever had a strike.” Points for Young Business Men. “Did you get your whole business educa- ticn in your father’s factories?” I asked. “No,” replied General Gary. “For near- ly a year I was in the employ of Tom Wil- sen, who was a Baltimore importer and merchant. .He died, leaving several mil- lions of dollars, and was during his life noted for his shrewd business sense. Father arranged with Mr. Wilson that I should work for a time in his counting house. When I went there the old man told me that father had given me to him for a year that he might teach me business. I re- plied that I was anxious to learn all I could. Well, I got my first business les- son the second day. I was set to copying letters. At that time Mr. Wilson did a big business with South America and other countries, shipping his cargoes in satlng vessels. In our correspendence we always sent a number of duplicate leiters by dif- ferent ships to avoid the danger of loss. My first work was the copying of such letters. At the close of the day I found that had made several mistakes in my copy, so when I came back the next morn- ing I brought a steel ink eraser with me to scratch them out. This eraser was lying on my desk when Mr. Wilson came in. He asked me what it was for. I told him. Whereupon he took it up and put it away, saying that there should be no mistakes to scratch out. That taught me one lesson. How to Say “No.” “I remember another lesson which the millionaire gave me a few days later, continued the Postmaster General. “In addition to other things we did a large discounting business. Those were the days of high interest rates. Eight, 10 and 12 per cent were not uncommon, and Mr. Wil- son sometimes discounted from $50,000 to $60,000 of paper in a day. He would get a discount of 2 per cent or more, and by indorsing the notes could turn them into the banks and at 6 per cent get all the money he wanted. Upon the day referred to an old note broker came into the office with a large bundle of notes which he wanted discounted. Just at that time, however, Mr. Wilson did not have tha money, and he had to refuse. As the man came in he called me to him and asked me to sit down and listen while he talked. He then chatted to the man about a number of things outside of the business in hand, showing an interest in him and his affairs, and though he did not take | the broker's notes I could see that the man departed happy, though it must have been a great disappointment to him to fail in making the sale. As soon as the man left Mr. Wilson said: ‘My boy, I sup- pose it surprised you that I called you here to listen to what must have seemed trifling talk. I did so to show you that there is more than one way of saying “no.” If you are careful you can do so without losing your nds, and that is what I have done with that man today.’ “Do you believe in boys being sent to college as a preparatory training for busi- ness, General Gary?’ I asked. “No, I think it takes too much time,” replied General Gary, “and that a great deal of waste is made in acquiring uscless knowledge. I don’t think a business man needs Greek or Latin. If he has a good English education and if in addition a little French and German, he is far bet- ter off. If a boy is to be a professional mian it is different. He should then have the best of college educations. The thing is to study your boy, and to train him for what he {s to do.” How Business is Changing. “But does not business change in meth- ods from year to year?” I asked. es," replied the Postmaster General. “The business of today is not what it was twenty years ago. 1 don’t think the chances ef the average man are as good as they have been. I doubt whether we will again have the wages and the oppor- tunities of fortune making which we have had during the past thirty years. ‘The world is continually growing smaller. The telegraph has annihilated time and the railroad and the steamboat have almost conquered space. Look at the changes! When I was young the London merchant sent his ship to India for its cargo. When he did so he knew that it would be six months in going and six months in return- ing by the way of the Cape of Good Hope and he waited a year for the result. The merchant of today takes a notion at4o’clock p.m. that he wants a hundred thousand bushels of Indian wheat. He writes a cablegram and sends it to the office and A NOMBER OF PERSONS IN WASHINGTON °* CURED BY DR. SHADE’S CHLORIDUM DISCOVERY FOR CONSUMPTION. Willing to Be Interviewed.

Consultation free. ‘ap29-10t would rise and business would be good the whole country over.” “How about reciprocity with South America, General?” “The reciprocity treaties were good ones. I hope the policy will be re-enacted.” The Post Office Department. “How do you like your work in the Post Office Department, General, and do you see any room for improvement there?” “I am just beginning to get my hands on the work of the department,” replied the Postmaster General. “It is a big estab- lishment, and I find that a great amount of time has to be taken up in receiving callers. Why, I talk personally with from two to three hundred men every day, and, in addition to this, have our whole mail system to master. As to improvements, a business man can always sec things which might be bettered. It seems to me that Uncle Sam does much of his business in an extravagant way, though the size of the machine makes this to some extent a necessity.” “Will the Post Office Department ever pay its own expenses, general? It now runs several millions behind every year.” “Yes, I know it runs behind,” was the reply, “and I doubt whether it will ever pay what it costs. As the receipts increase the people demand lower rates of postage and better maii facilities, which whl keep the average where it is now. We are, how- ver, putting in some improvements which will materially add to our income. ‘These are the pneumatic tubes, which we are in- troducing into the larger cities. We will have one from 42d street in New York to the post office building, with branches reaching to all parts of the city. As it is new, it takes about an hour and a half to get letters from 42d street to the general pest office. By the pneumatic tubes we will put them there in seven minutes. An enormous increase of mail will be the re- sult, and also an increase of income.” He Wants Postal Savings Banks. “Have you anything that you are es- pecially anxious to add to the postal ser- vice, General Gary “Yes,” replied the Postmaster General. “I would like to see postal savings banks established all over the country, and I hope to be abie to get legislation through Congress to that effect. Such banks might be founded in connection with a 2 per cent bond issued by the government, and might result in these bonds being held by the peo- ple in every part of the country. They would give a foundation for the establish- ing of national banks everywhere, and they would bind our people together. Every man that held a bond would be a patriot. There would be no more borrowing money from England, and there would be millions who would save who are not saving now. I don’t believe in the fear many people } have of a national debt, and I think, in many respects, Ben Butler was right when he said ‘that a public debt was a national blessing.’ ” “But would not the banks object to postal savings banks? “I think not,” replied General Gary. “I am connected with the Baltimore Savings Bank, one of the largest of the kind in the country. We do not allow more than $23 a week to be deposited by one person. We, like many other savings banks, have more deposits than we know what to do with, and we have had sometimes to ask people to take back their money. The money which the post office savings banks would get would, for the most part, come from people who do not deposit now, and I do not think there would be a great objection on the part of the banks.” FRANK G.
