hard rs Il seems While the United States has men
whose fortunes make the largest ia England seem
small by comparison, and while the WOrkingmen OF
her cities and towns are far better paid than those
OF England, she has 10, 900, 900 negroes mostly in
the South vast majority of whom own hardly
anything but the rags that cover their nakedness,
aud she Is receiving every year from Europe hun
dreds OF thousands Oi immigrants whose Deeuniary
condition is no better than that OF her negroes.
Our streerage immigration alone ia the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1908, was S57 and the total immi.
grafton 921, ,315. Furthermore while the farming
populstiOn OF the Uuited States is far better off than
the agricultural labOrers OF England there are many
more immense landed estates ia England, held to-
gether IN perpetnity by the stupid Law Of prmOgen
iture, and therefore more very large farmers than
In the United States. If we roughly divide the
people of each af the countries into four classes we
shall find that the topinost, composed OF the very
rich Is larger in tho United ates than 10 England
that the next highest, composed oil the wealthy is
larger in England than in the United Ststes, that
the next composed OF white wOrkmen, small far
mers, and other people in moderate circumstances,
is much larger and far more happily situated in the
Uuited States than in England; aud that the fourth
composed mainly Of farm laborers aud unskilIed
workmen IN EOgand, and OF negroes ana persons Of
foreign birth 10 the United States. is vastly smaller
and perhaps some what better of in England than
in this country.
Tnere is Que great and fundamental difference,
however, between the condition of the very poor,
aud especially the very poor whites in this country
and In Eogland. England is fully peOped, and the
members Of her lowest class have small chance to
rise from or much improve their present miserable
condition. They held down by social convent
tiOns, by trades union laws and by general spiri

ln the United States on the other hand, the mem
bers of every class can hope, BY hard patentefoTt
10 rise at least to the class above them, and per
haps TO the very pinnacle OF wealth aud prosperity.
Not only can they hope to do this; most Of them
are striving to do it. It Is significant that, while
the per capita wealth Of England Is tue greater the
average savings deposits in the banks OF the United
States IN 1900 we're more than S31, while Uhase in
the banks Of Great Britain we're less than s21.
