AMERICAS WEALTHY CLASS.
More Than Half the National Wealth Pos
sessed by "a, 900 Persons

1t is generally conceded fact that the
wealthieSt class in the United States is
vastly richer than the wealthiest class in
Great Britain. The average annual iu-
come of the richest hundred English
men is represented to be about $3.50, 900,
but that of the richest hundred 4 neri-
cans cannot be less than 81, 100000 and
probably exceeds $500 900. Aud yet
the earnings of fOur-fifths OF the meri-
can families do not average as much as
500 per annum.
In an article in tie Forum Mr.. Sher-
man gives the amount f wealth IN the
hands of persons with over $500, 900 each
in the United States as follows: 200
persons at $20,000,O00 each, S., 900 0O0,-
900; 400 persons at $4,000, 900 each, 81
600, 100000; 1000 persons at s., 100000
each, 1000, 900, 900; 1000 persons at 81
100000 each, S., 00O,OO0,000: 5000 per-
sons at 81 100000 each, $4,000, 900, 900;
$4,000, person at 100000 each, ST 500
100000.
Upon this basis, which is admitted to
be far below the actual truth, we are
confronted with the startling result that
"a, 600 persons now possess S31, 800, 000,-
O00-mOre than half of the national
wealth, real and personal, according to
the highest estimate any one has vet
ventured to make of the aggregate
amount.

Great care should be taken in the
selection OF the people. and have no
doubt Mr.. Gardner will use discretion,
Knowing that success or failure Of the
venture depends upon the first lot sent
I was of the opinion that s trial might
be made with, say. IL families, but l
read in the newspapers that there
should be more, in order that they be
coutented. / believe better results
would obtain II there were 10 families
on each plantation. for then they would
feel that they had neighbors who they
could visit.
= understand. one agent has already
expressed s desire TO have 10 families.
This may be only the beginning, for I
have no doubt Others will follow with
their orders. 1t would not pay Mr..
Gardner 70 so South for so small an
order
From political standpoint, think
the effect would be beneficial TO Us, if
Mr.. Gardner's plan is carried out. that
is, 10 select the families TO the number
OF not more than six from any one
locality. In that way the labor supply
OF 2 district would not be interfered
with But if he gets his supply west of
the Carolinas, the movement would be
favorable 10 our interests, because
there is probably an oyer-stock there.
I am told that the rice industry has
been injured in North and South Car
olina through so many negroes leaving
there and oolonizing elsewhere. We
would have TO get our supply some
where west of these States, and have
no doubt we can Mr.. Gardner states
thar he knows where 10 go, and is
willing TO guarantee that the class of
people he sends will be satisfactory.
The disproportion OF the sexes in
Hawaii is rather alarming, and for that
reason l would insist that only men
with families be brought here. This
would be better in many respects; with
their families around them, they would
be more content and less liable TO
drink and carouse."
