Value OF THE U. 5.
everything SUMMED UP BY
THE EXPERTS.
Railroads Over Eleven Biliions-Real
Estate over Sixty-two Billions
Live Stock Over Four Billions
Gold and Silver Coin Nearly Two
Millions-Merchandi 10 Billions.

The total value of everything in the
United States, including real estate,
live stock, farm implements, tools,
gold and silver bullion, railroads.
street railways, clothing, furniture,
jewelry, etc., has been summed up by
the government experts, and here is
the total:
Each year sees an increase in the
sum total of our wealth. The count
which has resulted in the above fig
ures was made in 1904 and has just
been tabulated. The census of 1900
showed the total value of property
to be $88,517 ,3O6,775. Thus we have
gained something like 100000, 900
in four years. This gain is in actual
tangible commodities, things which
can be seen and handled and does not
include the kind of values in which
Wall street and the stock markets
deal.
According to the authorized figures
every man, woman and child ought
to have more wealth than he or she
had four years ago. If all Of the real
estate were divided up on the basis
of its actual value, and each person
given a proportionate share. together
with the houses, fences and other
Improvements upon the land, each of
the 1885, O2 individuals in the Unit
ed States would possess $767.22 worth
of real estate. Four years previously
his share would have been S691.33
worth.
The present average value per
acre of real estate with improvements
is $32.75. Four years ago the average
value per acre was $27.60. The total
value Of all the real estate with i'm
provements in the United States is
$63,341 ,492,134. Four years ago the
aggregate value was $685., 62S,164.
The total value of all the railroads
with their equipment, exclusive of
telephone systems and telegraph lines,
is $11,244, $4,000. This is an increase
over four years ago when the same
item was worth $9,035, 900.
Next to railroads the live stock
of the United States is its most val
liable asset, amounting as it does to
$4,073,791,7S6, which, by the way, is
an increase of about $1,000,000,0 900
over their value four years ago. Man.
ufacturing machinery, tools and i'm
plements come next in value, amount
ing to $3,297,754,1S0. Jumping to-
gether the products of agriculture and
the mines, imported merchandise,
clothing and personal adornment, fur
niture, carriages, the total Is estimat-
ed at $18,462, 281, 1872.
After all gold and silver coin and
bullion are the least important as
sets in our wealth. The total Of
these is only paltry $1,99S, 063, 1903.
Judging only by the division of the
real estate and its improvements
among the people. the least desirable
state in which to reside is Mississippi
