Tennyson can take a worthless sheet of paper and by writing a poem on it make it worth $5,000; that’s genius. Jay Gould could write fewer’ words on a similar sheet and make it worth 850,000; that’s capital. The U. S. government can take an otmee and a quarter of gold and stampon it an ‘‘eagle bird” and “Twenty Dollars”; that’s money. The mechanic can take material worth 850.00, and make it into a watch worth $100; that’s skill. The merchant can take an article worth 25 cents arid sell it for $1.00; that’s business. A man can buy a good carriage for $75 but prefers to pay $l5O for one because-its more stylish; that’s foolishness. The ditch digger works ten hours a day and shovels eight or ten tons of earth for which he gets 81; that’s labor. , F. M. Geesa.
