WEALTH Here AND ABROAD.


Points OF Contrast Between the Rich N
America and In Europe.
The English and the Americans are
both rich, but which are the richer?
Perhaps the statisticians know or can
find out, but it is not certain that the
statistical answer would give the infor-
nation that one really wants and which
involves the distribution of wealth as
we'll as its mere existence. Most Amer
leans have to work; but, as is well
known, a considerable proportion OF
English people toll not nor spin, and
make no pretanse Of doing anything for
living. Is that becaGse the English
are richer than we, or is it matter of
taste OF result of primogeniture? So
also it appears-from close study Of
documents submitted by Anthony Troll
lope and other contemporaneous histo-
rians-that British gentlemen in re-
spectacle circumstances employ from
i've to fifty servants and have several
houses apiece, all Of which they live in,
and travel much besides. An Ameri-
can who lives in that way is looked
upon as o man Of very exceptional re-
sources, but it would seem that an Eng
lish gentleman who doesnot live in that
way is thought to be somewhat strait
ened. In England there are 500 or 400
hunt clubs, and something like 20, 200
Britishers ride pretty regularly to
hounds. But hunting is an expensive
sport that takes both time and money.
These English seem to have both to
spare.
A returned traveller was speaking of
the shoals Of agreeable English people
he met in the Riviers and in all the
play places of southern Europe. When
asked if they were rich people, he said
not, but that they we1s able to live as
they did because they knew how and
got their moneys worth. He thought,
too, that the we'll to DO English had
more complete domestic apparatus ready
to hand than most Americans and
could spend a larger proportion Of their
incomes on travel and amusement.
Houses and furniture and such expen-
sive vanities they had already by in
| heritance and were not compelled to
spend useful money in providing them.
Regarding the English habit of pub
| fishing novels in three bound volumes
would the American buy novels in such
costly form? Are MT all the habits of
| living that we borrow from the British,
from dock tailed horses to indoor men
servants, more costly than the customs
they supersede? THY must have great
deal of money to spend, those enterpris-
| ing islanders M one would hesitate
to say that the Americans are richer
than the Russians or the Italians, or
the Germans. or even the thrifty French,
but the Bfiton gives us pause. Is he.
really richer thanwe are, or is he mere
ly an older son, and a,dweller in a land
where servants work for small pay,
and clothes are cheap, and novels are
rented out by Nude, and the tax on
stimulants is laid for revenue, and not
for prevention. and where to loaf and
invite one's soul is esteemed prefer
able thing to toil?-Harper' Weekly.
