The census bureau has Jately put out an estimate showing this country's wealth to have been $106,881,415,009 in 1904, an increase of 21 per cent over 1900 and of 64 per cent over 1890, when our total wealth was $65,037,- 091,197. This imperial total 1s divided into such sitems as these: Real property, $52,177,246.600; live- stock, $4,073,791,731 railroads and equipment, $11,244,752,000;_ mate- rials and products of mantfacturers, $7.409,286,000; furniture, carriages, ete., $5,700,000,000; manufacturing machinery, ete., 97,725,390; coin and bullion, 2,00: 000; cloth- | ing $2,500,000,000._ This makes an average of over $1;300 for every man, i woman and child of our more than, 80,000,000 people. ity! Wondertu) prosperity! youfgot your share? If yours is the average family of ,five, do your. joint possessions amount to over $6,500? Of course they don’t if you are the average person, You could hardly have that much, when a few men have hundreds of millions apiece, when many men count their wealth in eight tigures, and when millionaires and multi-millionaires are plentiful in New York ani Pittsburg, most of them created by trust, traiff or rebate. But don’t blame them for taking aj] they can get. ‘Thatis the babit of some men, and you might have done the same thing yourself if you had had the chance. You will have to blame, yourself for giving them the chance to make such for- tunes. What about the wage-earner in these times of prolific and splendid prosperity? Figures from tne same source show that in 1890 the average wage in manufacturing was $418.88 per year, or $1.39 per day, and that in 1900 this had dropped to’ #4 year or $1.39 per day. Thi decrease of 7per centin wages in ten years. At the same time the same source of information shows an/| average increase of 6 per cent in the cost of living.- Thus the workman of 1900 got 93 cents where in 1890 he ry gota dollar, and his dollar in 1890} was ouly good for 94 cents ia keeping him alive in 1900, same sour¢e, the average value of the wage-earner’s product increased 10 per cent in 1900 over 1890. We are rolling in wealth, but itis not being distributed fairly, and accord- ing Uo these figures it is becoming more unfair all the time, Don’t you think it is time for a change?—Du- luth Herald.

The man who owns his home is in \a position that the renter: can never reach. The renter usually finds that his rent is too high, or he 1s dissatis- fied for some reason, and is restless, and discontenment stalks before him. He wants to move. He does not take the same inter a municipal affairs, in his own affairs, nor is he as ‘solicitous of ais neighbors, as the }man who owns his home. | Union Church Work. | The dav of union church work is approaching slowly but surely. | The Cumberland and regular Presbyterian churches have gotten together on common ground and these is fair \prospects for the two Methodist | churches coming together.
