After producing quite an array Of sta
tlstlCs, Mr. Shearman makes the follow
ing deductions
ON this basis, 40 900 persons own over One-half
OF the wealth Of the United StatGs while one
seyenteth part OF the people own over IW0.thlrds
Of Che wealth.
Its childish 10 imagine that under such cIrcum-
stances the concentration OF wealth can 30 on
less rapidly here than In Europe. On the con.
tTaTy n has gone on FAR more rapidly her6i ana
II WIN continue 10 do so NJ a tremendous paCe.
The United 10 tes Of America are prActcally
owned by less than 25O,OOO persons, constituting
less than one I'm sixty Of lts adult male pOpula'
tiOn. Within thirty years the present meLhOds
VI taxation being continued, the United STATES
of America will be substantially owned by less
than 10000 persons, constituting less Lhan one
In GOO Of the adult male population.
The tendency for the past thirty years
has been TO concentrate wealth into the
hands Of a few.
In 1850 the farmers owned 70 per cent.
of the total wealth Of the country. In
1860 they owned about one-half Of the
wealth, and in 1880 about One-third Of
the wealth Of the country. In 1889 they
owned a fraction less than One.fourth Of
the wealth Of the country.
Since 1880 there has been an increase
Of farm renting to the extent Of 25 per
cent. From 1860 to 1870 farm values in
creased 43 per cent. while from 1870 to
! 1880, the increase was only per cent, a
falling Oft OF 36 per cent NOtwithstand-
ing this decline in farm values from 1870
TO 1880, the aggregate wealth OF the ma
tion for the same period increased 30 per
cent. Nor do the products Of the farm
make any better showing. The decrease
in che aggregate value Of exports from
the year 1881 to 1889, was over 30 per
cent In 1865 the aggregate value of the
wheat, corn, rye, barley, buCkwheat, hay
oats, potatoes, cotton and tobacco was
$1,000, 100000 In 1884, eighteen years
later, the aggregate value Of the same
crops was only $2,043,0OO,000, or an In.
crease OF less than 2 per cent. During
this period, however, the cultivated acre
age had nearly doubled; there we're twice
the number Of farm hands employed, be
sides great improvement had been made
in all agricultural implements and farm
machinery and better methods Of cultiva
tion employed. The average value O
our cereal crops in 1867 was nearly 81
per bushel, while in 1887, twenty years
later, it was less than 50Cents per bushel
The average value Of the yield per acre
OF all agricultural crops In 1867 was $40
In 1887 1t was 80 per acre,
The following tables show the average
price OF three principal crops for four de
cades:

led 10 commercial crises without number.
The result Of England'o policy was
the concentration of wealth in the hands
Of the few. According 10 Mulhall the
the following table shows the diatribu-
tion OF British wealth in 1877:
The advocate., 1890-09-03
These prices are at point Of export nm

These prices are at point Of export and
need no further comment
This decline in prices has been uniyer-
sal and general on everything except sal
aries, fees, taxes, rents, money evidence
Of idleness and rates Of transportation.
The bond that in 1867 was worth GOcents
In gold or 81 in currency is now worth
$t3O. A salary that in 1867 would pur-
chase 1000 bushels Of wheat will now
purchase 5000 bushels A foe that in
1867 could have been paid by the farmer
in one load Of corn will now require two
loads. A dollar that would then require
but one-half days work to obtain will
now require n whole day. Prices are so
low that farmers do not obtain for their
crops the actual cost Of production. The
farmers Of Illinois are producing their
corn crop at an annual average loss Of ten
millions Of dollars. The result is in.
creased indebtedness secured by mort
cages on real estate. And the farms are
slipping from the grasp Of the tillers.
The number Of renters is increasing with
wonderful rapidity, The census Of 1880
showed over one million renters, Since
then the number has increased over %
per cent. In Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas l3 per
cent of the farms are rented; in South
Carolina 80 per cent are rented. Mr..
Tippin, Of Indiana, gives, in the Now Or
leans Times Democrat, some interesting
figures Of the mortgaged indebtness Of
his (TiptoR) county for the past five de-
cades. The following are his figures;

In the Forum Of November, 1889, Thos.

not only ana not exist, but were made impossible

Mr.. Shearman then, under the caption
Of "The Owners Of the United States,"
proceeds to give some figures regarding
the distribution OF wealth In this country.
