A practical ago like tho present measures the prosperity of a nation, a. state, a corporation' and an Individual by tho accumulations . of which each Is the possessor In recent years this na tion has been making tremendous strides toward all that makes for material pros perity. The assertion that the United States is the richest nation In the world Is no Idle boast; It Is a well-attested fact. So wide Is the margin between our na tional wealth and that of the ncarst rival, Great Britain, that the realm of Kin George is not even a close second, and France, Germany and Bussla are far out stripped. The figures as complied for 1911 and, consequently, the latest, fairly dazzle even those who aro accustomed to aeai with tho larser financial statements. For a nation not yet a century and a half old, the United States has an accumulated wealth that Is marvelous. The figures of the wealth of nations as tabulated for E. J.

Marvel ouh as are the figures of our wealth aa a nation, however satisfactory to our na tional pride Is the comparison with other great countries, the full extent ot our financial progress Is not understood with out reference to that tangible, collateral wealth which Is represented - In actual money or the equivalent thereof. It Is here that the growth of a part of our wonderful banking system proves Its In fluence In the national life. A glance at the above figures shows that America's total wealth Is $130,000,000,000. Represented In this vast aggregate how great a part do the l.CCO or more trust companies of the nation play? The answer Is pro foundly Impressive. Trust companies guard a treasure con servatively estimated at $33,000,000,000, of which grand ,total at least 130,000,000,000 represents wealth which the companies protect as trustees and guardians, and tho remainder stands for tho value of their own banking resources. Thus the trust companies hold in their keeping at least one-fourth of the nation's garnered wealth. A sum equal to more than one third of the total wealth of Great Britain and Ireland and more than one-halt of tho wealth of France and Germany is Under the control of American trust com panies, and the amount almost equals Russia's entire treasuie, and surpasses hat of Australia, Italy and the numerous lesser kingdoms.
