THE HURON, EXPOSITOR.
Jay GottUS Fortune.
The folloviing highly interesting par-
tionlari of the career of the notorious
American millionaire, Jay Gould, and
of the manner—not too sorapulous—in
which his vast wealth was amassed,
are taken from. a Manchester contem-
porary ;
Jay Gould, one of the American rail,
road kings, has just retired from busi-
ness with a fortune of sioo,00p.000. He
is, perhaps, the wealthiest man in the
world. Although only 47 years of age,
he has made more money than the
Rothschilds, and he has done it in 25
years. While it has taken the wealthy
Jewish house more than a century to
acquire their millions, this man has
done it in a few years by his own
efforts.
Jay Gould's father was a struggling
farmer near Roxbury, in the State of
New York. At twelve years of age, Jay
was sent from home with the cutting
_ remark, " Go ; you are a good for noth-
ing on the farm." He watt given a suit
of clothes and. two shillings, and left to
make his waydin the world. While
studying at the town schbol, he worked
for a. blacksmith in the evenings, in re-
turn for his board.
At fifteen, he was a partner in a busi-
ness, and after a few ne6ths, became
sole manager. Not content with such
a law business, he put his father in as
manager, and flew for higher game. By
working night and day he qualified
himself as surveyor. and civil engineer,
and soon had a corps of surveyors all
over the State working for the G-overn-
merit. It was here he first showed his
wonderful ability as an organiser and
manager of men. Though only eighteen
he was doing the work of a mature man
of farty. But his ambition was more
than his. strength. The illness that
seized him nearly proved fatal. He,
however, recovered and continued the
race for wealth, A new irailway was
just finished. through the 'forests of
eastern Pennsylvania, where there were
-
large belts of hemlock trees. Gould
• bought a tract of land, and determined
to start a tannery, and use the hemlock
bark far tanning. This was the be-
ginning of his wonderful career. From
this time he never turned back. He
had no capital; was merely a boy, had
never worked in a tannery, and had no
great things to recommend him, yet he
boldly made advances to the largest
tanner in New York. Such was his
power of convincing others that he soon
completed a partnership, and the tan-
nery was in full operation. 100 days
after.
The town of Gouldsboro' was built
near the tannery. All the town lots
were sold by Gould. The bank was
controlled by him. The .postoffice
owned him as master, and the high-
ways to towns were built and owned by
him. He was designer, creator, pre-
server,, and king over that district.
Nothing was bought or sold that did
not in same way pay toll to lama. In
three years he was ableto buy out his
partner, and was worth $100,000.
In 1860, Mr. Gould displayed for the
first time that self-reliance for which
he has sine() become, so renowned. In a
dispute with his then partner, who had
seized on the tannery in his absence,
and was managing it to suit himself,
Mr. Gould resorted to force as the
quickest and cheapest way of carrying
his own poiat. He selected fiftymen
and divided them into two companies,
and stormed the tannery in front and
on the roof.. Every man. was armed
with a six shooter, and the bullets
whistled around like hail stones.
Gould's party soon effected an entrance,
and threw the defenders out of the
upper windows. Having turned out
his partner Gould resumed possession,
and soon got the sole ownership.
The money made by his tannery ven-
ture was merely used as a stepping
stone to his great railway manipul-
ations. The Erie railway, then the
greatest line in America, was sold under
foreclosure of a mortgage, and. Gould
stepped up to buy a lot of its shares at
the greatly reduced price. He saw
that tie railways of America were still
in their infancy, and such a magnificent
trunk Hue was destined to play an im-
portant part in the future develonement
of the country. -
He bought a majority of the shares,
ingratiated himself with Daniel Drew,
the president of the railroad, and soon
was the controlling spirit of the Com-
pany. In 1867 he caused a lot of fresh
shares to be iesued by the Erie Com-
pany, which were sold to the eager
public as 7ast as called for, until the
amount of the original capital was
doubled.. This is what was called
" watering" the stook. There was no
need for this. It was simply done to
enrich himself and the members of the
Board. The sale of shares produced.
$10,000,000, which was left as deposits
• in the various New York banks. And
now came his greatest stroke of stook
lobbing. In the autumn, when all the
money of the country was needed to
pay for the crops, he and his partners
suddendy presented cheques for the
whole $10,000,000. It fell like a
thunderbolt on the money market.
Every banker called in his loans. This
caused every stookholder- to sell, and
the price of Erie shares fell from 80 to
35, at which price Gould bought all he
could get. When he poisessed all the
shares that could be purchased he soon
put up the price until it reached 60 and
65, and netted. by this one stroke
• eplendid fortune for a moderate man.
His wealth and his enterprise were
by this time becoming a national theme.
He stopped at nothing to acoruplish
his elide. Half a -million dollars were
distributed at the seat of the New York
Legislature, and he got whatever Acts
he wanted.passed. A short line of rail-
way, knowu as the Susquehannah, was
needed to complete „his system of mono-
poly. Instead of buying it in the
ordieery way, he simply let it be known
tb,at it woeld have to be annexed
_ whether the shareholders liked it or
not. So, getting a warrant from Judge
Barnard, in his own employ, he sent a
man down by special train with an
army of rowdies, all armed with guns
and revolvers. Seizing the head offices
of the road, he put in his ownofficials,
and was proceedingto take possession
of the trains as they came ha, when he
was suddenly interrupted by a force
from Albany composed of railway men,
led by a Mr. Van Valkenburg. Gould's
train was thrown from the rails by a
frog placed especially to dis-rail the
eegine. Gould's men, and his sheriff,
were captured by the Susquelaannah
crowd, and. kept in close confinement,
whilst Van Valkenburg and his increas-

A. special steatner on the udson river

On Wednesday night in Septe
1873, gold had closed at 140. Jay o d
learnt at midnight that the Pre8idntIf
the United States was deterrnin d to
reduce the price to its legitimate visine.
He saw the whole extent of the denger
to himself ; he knew the ruin a Treasury
sale would bring to him, so he made p
