legal power to earn eight times as
much IN year.
Stated in another way, the young
man is able to accumulate, by his labor,
l per cent. net, annually, which will
double his capital basis in little less
than seventy years, amounting to
S., 900, if he lives to the age of ninety
one years; but, if death should over
take him at that age, his net surplus
derived from the labor of an unusually
long life-would only be $500, while
$500 loaned at per cent. interest,
payable annually and re loaned, would
double itself in nine years, and in
eighteen would amount to $4,000;
in twenty-seven years, to $4,000; in
thirty-six years, 24,O00; in forty five
years, $48 900; in fifty four years, $96,-
900; in sixty y-three years, 1892, 900; and
IN seventy years, little less than
$300,000 Thus saccumulating two hun
dred times faster than labor.
In the case stated above, the young
man starting in business at twenty
one years would have to reach the ex-
tremely advanced age of ninety one
before doubling his surplus accumula-
tiOns; but, comparatively few men
reach such an age, and it is unreason-
able to conclude that those who do,
would be able to accumulate anything
during the last twenty or thirty years
of their lifetime And it would prob
ably be fair to say that instead of
doubling his capital basis at the end of
seventy years. the young man would
only increase it to $25O0, leaving at the
expiration of an ordinary lifetime,
only a net accumulation Of 81 900, be-
ing three hundred times less than fif-
teen hundred dollars would accumulate
in the same length Of time. And SO it
is, that mOney-the creature-has the
power, by law, to accumulate by in
terest, during the ordinary lifetime of
a labOrer three hundred times more
than labor
Labor, truly, accumulates to some
extent after receiving q support; but,
as has been shown, only as q drop i'll
the bucket compared to money. No
wonder that the wealth of country ac-
cumulates in the hands of the few to
