But now comes Alexander Delmar. with figures showing the average man, woman and child of the present to be poorer than were thdir ancestors. At the beginning of the century the "wealth per capita," which we take to mean the total of each individual's possessions, on an av­ erage, he says, was $690, and in 1878 was but $520. To be sure, the figures rose as high as 9850 in 1840, but on the other hand they foil as low as #100 in 1820. The "product per capita," which he puts at $190 in 1890, was but $106 In 1878, which bearing in mind the pro­ gress of labor-saving processes, seems a very strange statement. The aggre­ gate wealth and annual product have however, largely and for the most part steadily increased-the aggregate wealth from about two billions of dollars in 1791 to twenfcy-ave billions in 1878,and the total annual product from five hun­ dred and forty million dollars in 1791 to five thousand million in 1871. The largest increase of wealth in any de­ cade was In. 1860-60, when it nearly doubled. The figures are certainly curious, but, from the complexity of the problem they are necessarily scarcely more than careful estimates rather than'certain statements. Sg? r --p?: ^ & < a PRICE.'
