CJ. Mulhall, the eminent F.uglish I statistician, lias published in the June j number of the North American lie view an article on ti e "L'ower and Wealth of the United States," in which he demonstrates certain very interest- j ing facts, which are very gratifying I to the average American.

One man in America can produce as much Hour as will tVed U.io, whereas in Europe one man feeds only thirty per-J sons.

"It may be fearlessly assert- the human race no nation ever before possessed 41,i'00,o00 instructed citi- zens.'' Classifying the whole wealth of the union under the two heads, urban and rural, Mr. Mulhall finds the rural or agricultural uheallh has only juad- rupled in forty years, while uiban wealth lms multiplied sixteen fold a fact which is largely attributable to the protective tariff in vogue since the war. In a erirs of figures Mr. Mulhall shows that the "rite in wealth and iu- crease in wages came almost hand in hand.' In dealing with the develop rnent of fatm values, he makes the following statement: "If the United Mates ha I no urban population or in- jdustries whatever, the advance of agri- cultural interests would be enough to (claim the admiration of mankind, for it has no parallel in history. His conclusions are: "If we take a survey of mankind in ancient or mod- ern times, as regards the physical, me- chanical and intellectual force of na tions, we find nothing to compare with the United States in the present year of 1K5, and that the United States possess by far the greatest productive power in the woi'd."
