I 1861 There Were Oel> Tweetr-eifht «*' M'Uieaatrea la New York While To-day It Baaat Over Tv# Hoadred. The article below la a collection of paragrapba from an article by Olete land Moffett entitled u The Sbametai Mlaaae of Wealth,” and publiabed In Booof Magaalne. It will (rove In- terwtlug to many aa a oomparlaon of flgurea In the growth of the country 1 * wealth. It la admitted that we are the rich eet people In the world today,—the richest people the world haa ever seen The vaunted wealth of Oroeeus la ea tlmatad at only eight million dollars bat there are eerenty American i that avenue thirty live millions New York la beyond oomparl aon the rlohaet city In existence; the Now York Herald estimates Its wealth at thirteen thousand million dollars. And to the oountry at large the last annual report of the controller of the currency shows that the stock of gold tn.ths United Statea, (61,360,400,000) la gWAIcr than that of any other land, while oar banking power aggregates nearly fourteen billions as against lew than twenty billlcna for all foreign countries. We produce one third of the world's ooal, one- third of its grain, one- fifth of its wheat and three fourth of Ita cotton. We produor more steel and iron tban England And Germany together and our manufac tures are nearly double tboae of Great Britain and Ireland combined. Our railroads carry twice as much mar ehandlae every year as la carried by all the railroads of all the other na tions. James Bryce In "Tbs American Oomsoonwealth," observes that up to 1830 or 1840 there were no great for- tones In Amsrlea, few large fortunes and no poverty. But, writing of tbe later elgbtlee, be savs: “Now there la 5000 aggregating 16,000,000.000.00 So tbit five thousand men In thla oountry actually own (without count- log what they control,) nearly ona- sixth of our entire national wealth. It la Interesting to consider how much richer the rich will gat, and I may remark here that there la no need to Inquire how much poorer the poor will gat. If they are to live at all they can get much poorer. What greater burden of poverty can we pat on the four million American fasti lies who today with their beet ttil can gather lees than four bundled dollars a year? What more can we lake from them than we have already taken? The Mamohuaetti Bureau of Labor bar collected statistics showing how the poor families spend their pitiful Incomes. It appears that 13 88 eaeh week goes for food. Shall we out that down? Or thall we cut down the 62.91 a month they spend tot Noth ing? or tbe 6? 50 a year they ipend for furniture and housibold furnish Ingb? Or the 67 a month they pay for foul, dark rooms In a tainted ten ement ? And these are not the poorest of tbe poor, these are self-respecting la borers, producers of tbe national wealth; there are millions of others whose lot Is worse than theirs,—-ten million, Robert Hunter estimates, In helpless poverty, out of work, ont of health, out of heart with the world, broken driftwood; vagfanta, tramps— what shall we take from them? Sixteen yean ago Thomas G. Shear man, e distinguished corporation law yer and brilliant writer on eoonomio questions, prophesied that "within thirty yean tbe United States will be substantially owned by less than one in five hundred ttonTV In the United States today there are 440 largj industrial, franchise and transportation truati with a capital isation of over twenty thousand mil Hon dollan. Which, says the "Wall Jyy 1 »” m m wealth ift the country and the moat powerful part of It for It la wealth under such couoentrated control that it practically sways the whole." It may be objected that the Chil dren of millionaire lines haver a per feot right to dispose aa they please of their fortuDce end their Uvea, if they obooee to follow tbe unprofitable ways of steam yachts and motor oars, why after all, this la a free oountry. To and a greater number of g'g’.atio for tunes than In any other oountry y lo tha world.” That was twenty years ago! What would Mr. Bryoe say to day if he oould read statistics t Inwing that then are three million ifflaially recognised paupers in the United States? That a million and a half children between theages of tenaod fifteen are employed In our mines and factories? That one person in every twelve who dies In New York olty-la burled in the potter's field? As showing the rapid growth of In- dltidnal fortunes In this oountry there is Interec* In a list of rich men print ed by the New York Sun In 1866 ac cording te which New York oily at that time boasted only twenty eight millionaires. And a pamphlet pub fished some years earlier says that In 1846 Philadelphia oould show only ten estates valued at a million or more, the richest being that of Stephen Girard which reached seven millions In contrast to which in 1892, aooord- tag to tbe New York Tribune, there were then over two hundred million alrcs In Philadelphia. Aa to New York olty the number ofltl millionaire*, according to the heat Information, li over two thoue and while the number of millionaires in the United States Is at least five thousand or half the total number In the world. We shall presently see what a huge part of the national wealth Is poesamed and controlled by thaee five thousand Individuals. There la one family alone, at the head of which stands the richest and most powerful man In the world, John D. Rockefeller, and tbe wealth of this family la estimated st a thousand mil- Hon dollars, a sum so huge that the human mind quite fella to grasp It, a snm so huge that if at the birth cf Ohrid Mr. Rockefeller bad begun makteg * 6°Uar A minute and had lei day la ilafkMese.

How great is the need for tooh an organisation, not only In the olty, bat In the oountry districts few people outside of polio* and orphanage oir ties real’zi.

The society la non-aeetarian and Is supported solely by voluntary gifts. It seeks the oo-operation of all good citizens. Its child-placing department, per haps the most important, oertamlj the department most needed for Co lumbia’s present oondltiont, operates somewhat as follows: It receives homeless children, after careful oon of the male popula- slderation of each case; selects homes on recommendation of the local au thorities, after a visit by an experl- enoed agent; supervisee children, after placement, by correspondence and by visit from tfflwn of tbe society; em ploys a State superintendent to be friend, receive, place and visit chil dren, also collectors; transfers chil dren from the homes first selected, if necessary. Tbe society goes about Ite work In practical ways. LADY CUiZON BISS SUDDENLY. ■ ■■ fUl-' A Ohloago Heiress, Her Hnsbaiul Was Viceroy Of India.
