Drags Out Chestnut In one of his recent political treaâ€" tisies, in which he lambasts Ameriâ€" the more highly thing, he drags out that bewhiskered campaign slogan which has done service since the days of "Shay‘s Reâ€" bellion: "The rich are growing richer and the poor poorer." ‘This may be polities, and it may This _l{“b. polities, and I° TBRX be humor, ith\&mmm‘ is not only greater wealth, but greater diffusion of wealth, in the United States than in any other country in the world.
