In figuring the wealth for 1860 the
value of the slaves owned at that time
was not included. This figure is
usually placed at 100000 $50 Even
iueluding this in the 1860 figures, the
country shows a wonderful increase in
wealth of nearly 100 per cent. be-
tween 1860 and 1870. i'm spite of the
costly Civil War, Which destroyed SO
much wealth producing property and
so much wealth in concrete form.
To get back to the american farmer
He could have bought with his 1915
corn crop the entire United States OF
IS10-a century previous His prod
ucts for 1910 were nearly 80 per cent
greater than the entire wealth of the
country in 1850, including the slaves.

wealth has not increased. There
nc two periods when the per capita
gain failed Ia keep un. one was be-
tween 1910 and 1s20. The second war
with England occurred during this
period. At that time the United
States was largely dependent upon
ocean traffic. The war crippled that
seriously. Tie development of the
great farming region of the Central
West had scarcely started. Our min
ing industry was comparatively unde-
veioped, and our manufactures were
still to become factor in our Ma
tional Industrial system. A war with
foreign country at that time, es-
pecially with one as strong on the
seas rs England. was a serious matter
How, serious it was may be seen
from tfitA fact that, despite the great
Civil War. which was hundred times
more costly in point of lives and dol
lars both, the country increased in
wealth between 1860 and 1870 We
lad begun our manufacturing career;
our mines were opening up rapidly;
the great plains of the West were pro-
ducing their annual crops of millions
of golden dollars.
The second period when the per
ca ita wealth dropped back was be-
TWEEN 1S70 and 1880, Two causes con-
tribused to this apparent lapse. It
was only apparent. since the total
wealth of the country increased by
more than SS,000.000, 900 One of these
was the panic that occurred at that
period one of the most severe in our
h.story-due to unsettled political con-
aitions ard an unsatisfactory National
monetary system, in which wildcat
currency was issued by the ton.
The other reason was that in 1870
