by the statistics? 1 repeat that the people
are not Anarchists; they are not Socialists;
they are Communists; but they have sud
denly walked to the conception of the face
that the bulk of the property of this country
is passing into the hands of what the Senator
from Ohio, by a euphemsm, calls the "spec-

WEALTH DISTRIBUTION.
A table has been completed for the pur-
pose of showing how wealth in this country
is distributed, and it is full of the most
startling admOnitiOn. 1t has appeared in
the magazines; it has been commented
upon in this chamber. 1t has been the
theme of editorial discussion. 1t appears
from this that there are in the United States
than $50 600 900 each, and there has been one
man, the Midas of the century, at whose
touch every thing seemed to turn to gold,
who had acquired, within less than the life
time of single Individual, out of the aggre-
gate of the National wealth that was earned
by the labor of all, applied to the common
bounty of nature, an aggregate that exceeded
States in this Union.
Mr.. HOar And more than the whole
country had when the Constitution was
framed.
Mr.. Ingalls,. Yes-and as the Senator from
Massachusetts well observes, and thank
him for the suggestion-much more many
times more than the entire wealth of the
founded Four hundred persons possess SIO,-
100000 each, LOCO possesses IS, 900 each,
1900 possesses 100000 each, 5000 people
s., Coz 900 each making total of 81 900 people
who possess ss6 $50, oOO, 600. Z

Irregularities have been tolerated here: that

! there have been envy and JEALOUSY in high

! disturbances. amid all these contests, amid
all these inexplicable alterations. the patti
| of the Nation has been steadily onward.
At the beginning OF our second century We
have entered upon a new social and pol .tica

Also claimed that the commitment Is
