This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 Excerpt: ...account stands Net Tax in the United States 1896, $2.50. The United States is more prosperous than any other nation; its people are better off than the people of any other country, as proved by the amount of the tonnage carried in their borders. This internal commerce is possible because the people of the United States are one people, of one country and one union. The whole of the tonnage on the oceans of the world last year was about 140,000,000 of tons, while the tonnage of the railways of the world, carried 100 miles, was about 1,400,000,000 of tons. There are 400,000 miles of railroad in the world of which 180,000 are in the United States. Of the 1,400,000,000 of tons carried 100 miles last year on the railways of the world, 800 000,000 of tons were carried on the railways of the United States. You take the 600,000,000 of tons carried 100 miles on the railways of the world outside of the United States and then you add to it 140,000,000 carried on the ocean in the commerce of the wTorld upon the seas, and we still have in the 800,000,000 of tons carried on the railways of the United States 60,000,000 of tons more than on all the railways of the world outside of the United States and in all the ocean commerce of the world put together. In order that these statements may be apparent at a glance, I have tabulated them as follows: Wood's lOVYH Financial School. Balance in favor of the U. S., 60,000,000 This great balance in favor of the United States, shows the vastness of her commercial enterprises and is the best argument against the assertion that the act of 1873 was: "A crime, because it has brought this once great republic to the verge of ruin, where it is now in imminent danger of tottering to its fall." Coin's Financial School p. 112. And th...
