The guests at the wedding included earls and lords, dowager countesses and viscountesses, ordinary sirs by the dozen, and generals and admirals to add gold lace and lustre. d yacht. The blissful period will be prolonged at a villa in Italy. ~ After that Lord and Lady Ellenborough will visit Pittsburg, where her father's fortune was made and where he gave a park and endowed a hospital, as is the custom of Pittsburg millionaires. The American standing of the bride's father in the multi-millionaire class is attested by Andrew Carnegie. and: J. Pierpont Morgan having sent wedding presents, and the ‘superiority of the bride to American girls’ whose fathers are not Pitts- ‘burg millionaires was proved ‘by the excluston of ordinary Americans . from the wedding. eat The British peerage is more nu- merous than. the multi-millionaires of the-United States. It costs less. \|_A peer can be created any time by the nomination of the Prime Minis- ter and the issue of a warrant of nobility with the approval of the King. The English people make no objection to the creation of new. peers, Rather it is popular with the masses of people that the number of the nobility should be etilarged, since It gives successful professional men, brewers and politicians more hope that they or their children may be numbered among the nobility. + The greatest obstacle to thecwider extension of the peerage is King Edward's refusal to create additional péers who have not enough money to live up to that high social rank. For aspirants to the English peerage to seek to qualify themselves by promoting trusts, by the methods of ~ "American high finance, by railroad rebates, by the tariff and by grabbing the public lands, would be to take money out of the pockets of the Eng- lish people, and that the English people would not stand, js Only a few weeks ago the English public rose against such a trifling _ matter as a soap trust instigated by some enterprising American. The largest English soap manufacturers concluded to combine, They arranged to recapitalize themselves with the usual Injection of water in their stock, To cam dividends on this new stock they began to sell fifteen ounces of soap for a pound. The English people simply stopped buying any soap made by the Soap Trust. The English Soap Trust promptly publicly apologizéd to the English people and dissolved. i Since the English people will not tolerate thelr peers following the example of the American millionaire there is no way for poor English- men of aristocratic ambitlons to attain their desires without getting money somewhere else, and, of course, without soiling their hands with toil. To accomplish this nothing {s easler than to marry the daughter of a Pittsburg millionaire. Pittsburg millionaires are at present plentiful. In early life.they were poor, and like other poor men they married and ‘had children, These children can attain no greater rank ot power in the Wnited States than the size of thelr father's millions. If there were only one child-and. she were to marry the only son of some other millionaire and they both should inherit all thelr father’s fortunes, the doubling of weal Would of course double their social position; but many of these milli fyave several children, and the only way for them to avoid Part of the honeymoon will be spent on the Pittsburg millionaire’s ' } From Black and White” a great Impression on her Inferior Intellect. 1 man sliding back\in the social scale is to marry a foreign nobleman. beecoteoi aay For this purpose the English are preferred, since the Frenct , ences of Jay Gould’s daughter and others have ni the combination of American wealth and the English pee have got what they bargained for.

What Wesb‘ngton bad done for. freedom Whitney had done for trade, His cotton gin trebled the value of Southern land, changed barren wastes to rich estates, built up capital and created a new’ valuation and distribution of property, And the man’ who had accomplished all this was robbed of every cent due him for his inestimable service to mankind.
