Simple Device to Wipe Out Poverty.
In the North American Review for July the
Rev. James B. WATSON suggests to DIR. McGlynn
and Henry George a method of abolishing
poverty in about two centuries and a-half, by
the simple device of investing $4,000 and let
it go on increasing at compound interest for
that length of time. The results are startling.
He says: Assuming that. when put at COM
pound interest, the principal double itself
every fifteen years-no very extravagant as
sumption-the $4,000 invested IN 1892 would
to-day amount to the inconceivably enormous
sum of slS4, 207 $40, 700! And this sum invested
at the rate of per cent would yield an annual
income of 81 36s. 23i. 400, which sum, be it re-
membered. would be available every year in
perpetuity for the noble but misty objects of
the Anti-Poverty society"
