MORE Truth THAN PoETRr, Tho Quebec
Mercury discussing upon the recent Union

Is THE LAND To LIVE TN-The returns of the
income tax make an Interesting revelation Of
; the wealth OF the country and its general dis

tunes is probably greater in this country than
! in any other on the globe, and in many in
= stances. the amount IS equal to those of old
arlStocratic houses i'll England. In New York,
according to the Herutd, there is one gentle
: man enjoying an income of million, who
came to this country poor Irish boy; another,
who has an income OF three-quarters Of q mil
lion, the founder of whose family came here
from Germany penniless youth :; and yet an
: other with an income OF half Il million, who
: commenced life as Whitehall bOatnTan. This
= is the peculiarity of American wealth. 1t is
seldom derived from ones ancestors, but is the
result of individual enterprise and sagacity
l. There are no bars here to the exercise of the
:. talents which command wealth, and, in the
race for it, the shoe-black has as good chance
) as the merchant, ifhe has trained his thoughts
70 educated his mind, practices the industry an,
e enterprise, and exercises the forethourht whic
in are necessary to its successful accumulation
. This equality is what makes country pro,
porous, and its institutions respected aud SUI
