According to Helpers own stastistics, Ia
ken from the census OF 1850, the proportion
ate wealth of the white people Of the slave
states Is more than one third greater than

S3lO to every white man woman and child.
Therefore the people OF the slave states are
more than 33i per richer than those of the
slave states notwithstanding they have lived
for the most part, a life Of laxuriance and
