today valued at more than ne-twentieth
of the entire wealth of the United States
1t is greater than the entire wealth OF
many states and even of many foreign
countries. 1t is rs per cent. more than
the entire wealth of Holland, Spain
Sweden and Norway; so per cent. more
than Switzerland, Denmark or Portugal;
1t is one-third that of Italy; one
fourth that Of Austria Hungary; one
fifth that Of Russia; one-seventh that OF
Germany; one-eighth that Of France; one
tenth that OF Great Britain and Island
1t is indeed an imperial city in an empire
state.-[Moody's Magazine.

face some of the responsibilities of state.
Every one of them has a capital and a
court of his own. Some of the capitals are
not very big cities, but they are all very
proud. Among them are places with
