Americas Growth in Wealth.


In 1850, the first year in which the
census bureau made any inquiry into
the matter of the country's real and
personal property was placed at a
value of $7,135.O00,0O0 1t was $16,.
159,00O,000 in 1860, $42,C42, 100000 in
1880, $SS, SIS, 100000 in 1900 and 106,-
SS1, 600, 900 in 1904 This increase has
far exceeded that in population that
the per capita wealth of the country,
which was 1907 in 1850, was 1913 in
1860, $3.50 in 1880, s1,235 in 1900 and
$1,000 in 1904.
Although there are no official fig
ures for the country's wealth previous
OF 1850, the most careful estimates
which have been made place it at
less than 81 ,0o0,0OO,0oo in 1900. In
that year the country's population was
5,3OS,000. Allowing. for the growth
between 1900 and the most recent
year to which the census bureaus in
quiry has extended, we may place the
country's population at 100000 and
it's wealth at s115 900, 100000. Thus
we see that from 1890 to these open
ings days Of 1907, while the popula-
tion Of the United States has been
multiplied sixteen times, that OF
wealth has Increased lis times.

The cream and the jellies all gone,
They counted the wax matches candles
To find out when Gretchen was born
They didn't know when she was born.
And then Bouncer lighted the candles
The matches stuck round on the cake
While both of the bearkins leaned over
To see how much light they would make,
And that was a sorry mistake.

And, trying to put the blaze out,
They singed both their paws and their

And then they heard two children shout:
