Here are sixty persons whose wealth
combined amounts to the beautiful sun
Of 81, $50, 900, 000 This shows a yer,
prosperous condition Of the last sixty
three million people of our country
The entire circulation for the Unite
States is only 81, 400, 900. 900, while sixt
citizens of this country have possession
aggregating nearly half million dollar
more than the whole amount of none
in circulation for the use Of the entir
people. IL it any wonder these grea
barons can control the money markets c
the country. and, in controlling tn
money market, they dictate the price {
all other commodities?
In addition to the sixty foregoin
named persons. there is given list I
twenty two persons who are each wort
$40, 000, 600, and twenty-seven who Al
worth s5.OOe, 600, and ffty.seven wi
are each worth s3,0Oo,0o In ell thel
are one hundred and sixty.six persol
whose combined wealth amounts to s.
456, 900, 900. This is certainly We
strong evidence Of the prosperity Of o
country, especially of the list publish
in the Journal.
The amassing Of such fortunes into
hands 81 few people puts into tht

J and prosperity Of the masses. WheI
few Of these barons unite their wealth
any purpose. they are enabled to cal

ture leads most persons to do that viii
il the greatest advantage to self, tn
few may not only use the power Of tn
wealth to crafty their whims and pie
ure, but they will and do use that wsa
, to enhance their power, and, as wealth

J. i've power. VIXEN massed in any IT
v sums. the oppression of the masses is
10 difficult to account for, with such
