rich, and one of $5OOOOO phenomenal.
The latter class was not az numerous in

Of course, there is not gold and silver
enough in the world to represent the aQ-
gregate of these little private fortunes,
nor title Of them. They are invested
IN lands, houses, government, railway,
bank, mining and other stocks. The
national bonds of England, France and
the United States cover nearly five thous-
and millions, and the railway securities
OF the United States alone cover nearly
five thousand millions. The largest prif-
vate landed estates are held in Spanish
America, Mexico, Russia, England and
the United States, but the largest of all
IN the latter country, and by corpora
tions. 1t is thought, and justly,a great
hardship to the common people of Eng
land and Scotland that the Duke Of
Sutherland should own over 100000
acres, and many other prominent mobiles
more than 100000 each. But there is
one corporation in this country that has
been granted 100000 acres, and then
4S,OOO,OOO, and two others, represented
by less than ten men, 25,OO0,6OO acres.
At the time that Henry VIII. confscated
the estates of the Roman Catholic church
in his domihions they did not amount
to q tenth as many acres as the
grant of congress to the Northern Pa
cific railroad; but they were enough to
lay the richest nobility in the world, and
their revenues to-day can hardly be less
than $l20,OO0,0OO. Reasoning from his
tory and analogy, the most stupendous
private fortunes in the United States
during the next fifty years will be realiz-
ed from the enormous land grants, now
hardly worth $3.50 an acre, but hereafter
as surely to be worth from $50 to 500 as
dollar is worth 100 cents. A corpora
tion whose land grant covers say 2O,,OOO,-
OOOsacres, and whose stock is to the ex-
tent of 80 per cent. in the hands of, say
ten persons, if it can hold on to its lands
for twenty or thirty years free from tax
es, will have property in land worth
anywhere from $400, 600 900 to 81, ,O0O, ,OOO,-
OOO,or S36, 100000 to $3.50, 100000 for each
OF its principal stockholders. These
figures, though they at first thought
seem to run into the region of fable, are
not much more astounding than the ex-
ploits of the Vanderbilts, Astors and
Packards already realized. The great
landed estates of England are protected
by laws of entail and primogenature,
forbidden in the United States.

individual Wealth in Ancient and Modern
Times.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Doubtless the laboring classes ut this
day in all civilized communities are bet
ter housed, fed, clad, and paid than the
same class at any other time in the his
tory of the human race. Yet there never
was Il time OF greater dissatisfaction
among workingmen. During the mag
niicent reign of Louis XIV. there was
more extreme poverty in France than
there is now in all Europe, Ireland in
cluded. The condition of the emanci-
pated Russian serf is far better than that
of the French or German peasant two
centuries ago; and within the historical
era there is no record of time when
fifty millions of the common people and
poor were 50 comfortably situated rs the
fifty millions who now inhnbit the Unit
cd States.
But il the condition Of the poor has
iinp.ored, the private fortunes of the
rich have SO increased as to utterly con-
found all attempts at comparison with
the rich men of past ages. "As rich MS
Cr9sus" has stood for an adage these
twenty-three centuries. Yet Crusus was
king who devoted his whole energies
to the acquisition of gold, and there is
good reason to believe that we have not
less than half dozen men and women in
this state who are richer in gold and its
equivalents than this Lydian monarch.
The richest man in Rome at the time of
Caesar was Crnsus. His fortune has
been carefully estimated by several his
torians, but never above s., 100000 of our
money. This is not much more than
William H. Vanderbilt's yearly income,
and it is more than $1,OOO,OOO below
the appraisement of the fortune
of the late William S. O'Brien of
this city. The Astor estate was
valued ten years ago at $4O,OOOOOO.
At moderate rate of accretion-say five
per cent-it must now amount to $780,
100000. The yearly income at the same
rate is $3,0O0,O00. This is third more
than the entire income of the monarch
of the British empire, and good deal
more than the entire revenues of the
English government two hundred and
fifty years ago. It is asserted that
there are eight or ten English
peers whose incomes each exceed the
allowance of parliament to the queen,
and yet the richest men in Eng
land are commoners. Half century
| ago the reputed wealthiest man in Amer
ica was old Stephen Girard of Philndel-
phia. His estate was appraised below
S15,0O0,O00. There are now probably one
hundred private fortunes in the United
States each greater than Girard's and
half dozen more than twice as great
In the purchasing power of money the
nncients had the advantage. A dollar
would buy more thousand years agt
than five will now. Forty years back 1
man who had $l0O, 900 was rated as quite
