Daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, Va. [W. Va.]) 1859-1865, 1864-08-19

1t is to be observed that this calculation
is founded upon a debt of three thousand
millions and continuance of the war until
1866. But this is not all, for Mr.. Wells
proceeds to give statement of our assets
and their respective increase, making the
following amazing exhibit:
1.-THE officially assessed value of all the
real and personal property of the United
States in 1860 was SIG, ,l59, 100000. Of
this amount there was credited to the loyal
states and territories the sum of SlO,-
957, ,448, ,956, and to the disloyal $780,.
I67,5O0. Large asthis valuation seems, it
was, nevertheless, in the opinion of the
best statiscians, considerably below true
estimate; inasmuch as real property, IN ac-
tual practice is rarely valued; for census
returns and for purposes of assessment, at
more than two thirds of its real value,
while large amounts of personal property,
from the facility with which it is coneal-
ed escape valuation and assessment alto
gether, The increase in the value OF
real and personal property of the whole
United States for the decimal period OF
lsbO-6O, was in the ratio of 126.45 per
cent, and of the loyal states about 129 per
cent. Supposing for the sake of caution,
that the general ratio Of decimal increase
has been reduced since 1860 from l26 to
100 per cent, (the reverse, however, being
probably more in accordance with the
truth) then the value of all the real and
personal property Of the loyal states on the
lst of July, 1864 would be about $4,000,
900, 900, o.. .#
Supposiug the whole of the property to
be distributed equally per capita among
the existing population of "a 900, 900, then
the; apportioument to each individual
would be $614.95. e.f.r
"Supposiug the rebellion to terminate at
or before the close Of 1866, the population
of the restored Union (Which was 81 ,600,-
600 in Is6O) to be 34,000,000, the debt
SIS, 900 900, 900, and the value of the real
and personal property of the seceding
states to be somewhat less than that prior
to 1850, q. 9. $4,000, 900, ,oO0,) then the
value of the real and personal property OF
the whole Union would be about $21, ,61Sk-
900 900; the average wealth per capita
