THE UNITED STATES WEALTH.
From the New York SUN.


The English statistician, Michael C. Null
hall. publishes in the June number OF the
North American Review, an article on
1.-The Power and Wealth of the United
States" Mr.. Mulhalls conclusion is that:
IF we take a survey of mankind in an
cient or modern times as regards the
physical, mechanical and intellect
ual force of nations, we find
nothing to compare with the
United States in this present year of 1895.
and that the United States possess by far
the greatest productive power in the
world"
Mt Mulhau shows that the absolute ef-
fectve force of the American people is now
more than three times what il was in 1860,
and that the United States possess almost
as much energy as Grea Britain. Germany,
and France collectively, and that the RAJ
ton falling to each American is more than
what two Englishmen or Germans have
at their disposal. He points out, by care
full comparison between the conditions in
these different countries, that an ordinary
farm hand in the United States raises as
much grain as three in England, four in
France, in Germany, or six in Austria.
one man in America can produce as much
flour as will feed go, whereas i'm Europe
one man feeds only thirty persons
Mr.. Attlhall calls special attention to the
fact that the intellectual power of the
great republic is in harmony with the in
dustrial and mechanical, eighty-seVen per
cent, of the total population over ten
y
= TT may be fearlessly asserted" says he,
that in the history of the human race no
natiG6i ever before possessed Al, 100000 in
structed citizens"
The postoffice returns are appealed to
by Mr. Mulhan in support of this part of
the statement, these showing that in the
number of letters per inhabitant yearly,
the United States are much ahead of all
other nations.
According to the figures of Mr.. Mulhall
the average annual increment of the
United States from 1921 to 1890 was S90l
100000 and he adds that "the wealth
added during a single generauon-that is,
in the period of thirty years between 1860
and 1S90-was no less than forty-nine mil
lards of dollars, which is one millard
more than the total wealth of Great Brit
ain"
union under the two heads, urban and
rural hr. Mulhall finds that rural or
agricultural wealth has only quadrupled
in forty years, while urban wealth has
multiplied sixteen fold. Before 1860 the
accumulation wealth for each rural work
to persons of the urban classes; but the
farming interests suffered severely by rea-
son of the civil war, and since then the
accumulation OF wealth among urban
workers has been greatly more than that
among rural workers, a fact which Mr.
Mulhau thinks explains the influx OF pop
ulation into towns and cities.
In a series of figures Mr. Mulhal shows
that the rise in wealth and increase in
wages came almost hand in hand" In
dealing with the development OF farm val
ues, he makes the following statement:
IF the United states had no urban pop
ulatiOn or industries whatever. the ad-
vance OF agricultural interests would he
enough TO claim the admiration of man
kind, for II has no parallel in history"

Sense of Color and Language.

NJ. E. de Frobervillc, who has recently
studied the languages of the central AT.
rican tribes, finds II deficiency among them
in sense of color, excepting always the
Malagasies of Madagascar, who are partly
civilized and skillful artists White, blacI,
and red have separate words in these
tongues, but the other colors are regarded
as varieties of these, blue and violet being
spoken of as black, orange as red and green
as either black OF yellow. The argument
from words is, however, unsatisfactory.
and because Homer was an early poet, and
the languages of primitive peoples had not
so many words to describe colors MS we
who are more civilized and instructed. it
does not follow that Homer or the sayages
We're color blind, rs compared with our
selves. Words are introduced when q dis
tinct need has arisen for them All that
we can lcgitimately infer from the argu-
ment is that the primitive people have not
learned to observe and distinguish colors
very well, not that they cannot perceive
them. Homer's eyes were no doubt as
good as Mr.. Gladstone's when both men
were in their prime, but his language did
not furnish the words required to distin-
guish all the tints he saw. Even now
there is no language which enables men to
