A writer in the Chicago Tribune
estimates the wealth of the I. S. at
the stupendous total of one hundred
and sixteen billion dollars. Greater
BY far than combined wealth of Great
Britain and Germany The basis Of this
vast wealth is the ground, farm crops
and the live stock dependent upon
them. The mining and manufacturers
large crops taken out of the soil every
year make the farm lands more valu
able, the rapid growth of mining and.
manufacturing causes large cities to
build up, which in turn increases the
the value urban land enormously, so
wo nderful has been this growth that
10 only six years the per capita wealth
of our country has increased more
| 1925 90 the per person. now being aboTt
81 $50. 90 crop values bank deposits
gold production, value of manufac
turers and various other items reach
totals that are almost beyond our
comprehension, and enough is was ed
every yea to buy the republic of
Switzerland. These facts and figures
oaly show what has been and what
will continue to be the wonde rful com
mercial development of the U. S. The
contemplation of such great posi-
bilities as are voiced by knowledge OF
the nations wealth may not cause any
man to force his business, but it should
at least encourage the belief that the
country is all right and that there is
! ample justification for the filth in the
policy of protection that we have lived
and moved with for the past 40 years
or more
