The total estimate of the Talue of
the national "wealth in 1904 *was §107:i-
10-1,192,410, according to a special report issued by the census bureau on
wealth, debt and taxation. This represents an increase in tlie four-year
period from 1900 to 1904 of §18,586,.
■885,635.
This adyattee in national wealth,
has no parallel in the itistpry of the:
TJnited States except the decade from
1S50 to i860. In 1S5Q, wben the .first
estimates of tbe national "w*ealth -were
made, the figures were only §7,135,-
7S0,22S. The most potent cause -for
the increase in the nation's wealth
from 1900 to 1904, it was stated, was
the reaction front the low prices of
the period Ot depression from 1893 to
1896. The annual -increase of wealth
per family from 1S90 to 1904 was
§182.
The various forms into which the
nation's wealth is divided, witli their
"valuations, are -as follows:
Real property and improvements
taxed, ?d5,51O,2.2S,057:; real property
and improvements exempt, §6,S31,-
244,5*70; live stock, §4,073,791,736'
farm implements and machinery,
§S44,9S9.S63," mannfaeturing machinery, tools and implements, $3,297,754,-
ISO; gold and silver -coin and "bullion,
11,998,603,303; railroads and their
eijulpment, §11,244,752,000; street
railways, |2,219,966,000;: telegraph,
■systems, §227,400,000; telepbone systems, .|oS5,S4Q,DQ0*; "Pullman and private cars, §123,000,000; shipping and
canalSi §846,489,804; privately owned
water works,, §275,000,000; -privately
'owned central electric light and power stations, §562.851,103; agricultural
products, §1,899,375,652; manufactured,
products, : '$7,409,291,668; imported
merchandise, 5-103.54^5,685; mining
profluete, §10S,"3G5,7ST; elotliing and
personal adornments, §2,500,000,00.0;
furniture,' carriages and kindred
property,  §5,750,000,000.
The total public indebtedness of
continental United States ia 1902 was
,§2,789,990,120 and tlie total per capita
indebtedness was §35.50. The total
indebtedness of the national government for tlie same year was §925,011,-
637 and the per capita indebtedness
was §11.27. Tns indebtedness of the
United. ' States government is: its
