Every man. woman and child in the
United States in 1872 was accredited

| The census bureau issued today a pre-

national wealth in 1912. and has fig
ured out that every person shared the
amount noted. But the report shows
i that the country is getting richer, and
+! that since 1850 each person was six
| times richer than he was in 1850. or
rather six times richer than his parents
/. or grandparents. For in 1850 the total
wealth of the nation was s..i3s, s,9o0.0oo.

! greater than it was in 1850. according
to the way it has been figured out at

Despite this prospective shortage and

Margin Between Balances.
While it is true that this would be

wide margin between the balance

sf.H.0p10o0 balance. Also should the
receipts from the income tax fail to be
included in the balance for the pres
