Let us see, then, what it is that the Nineteenth Century has stored up, which is to result in such a terrific convulsion in the Twentieth Century. The following diagrams present the Logical Premises from which the “revolution and bloodshed,” as a conclusion, must inevitably follow, provided their action is not checked. Distribution of Wealth in the United States.[5] Population: 62,622,250. Wealth: $65,037,091,197. Millionaires .03 } Millionaires 20 } Rich 8.97 } .09 Rich 51 } .71 Middle 28 } Middle 20 } Lower 11 } .91 Lower 04 } .29 Poor 52 } Poor 05 } “These diagrams showing by percentages the population and wealth distribution in the United States, according to tables compiled by George K. Holmes, U. S. Census Expert on Mortgage Statistics, are from the Encyclopedia of Social Reform.” The contents of the above diagrams show on the bases of statistics that in 1890 three hundredths of one per cent of the population, [SN: PERCENTAGES OF WEALTH AND PEOPLE.] which are the millionaires, held 20 per cent of the nation’s wealth. Eight per cent and ninety-seven hundredths of one per cent of the population, which are the rich, held 51 per cent of the wealth. The middle class, consisting of 28 per cent of the population, held 20 per cent of the wealth. The lower class, consisting of 11 per cent of the population, held 4 per cent of the wealth. And the poor class, consisting of 52 per cent of the population, held but 5 per cent of the national wealth,[6] as this table shows: Table I. +-----------+------------+-----------+----------------+--------------+ | | | | | Distribution | |Percentages| Population |Percentages| Aggregates of | of wealth | |of People. | in Groups. |of Wealth. | Wealth in | per head | | | | | Dollars. | in Dollars. | +-----------+------------+-----------+----------------+--------------+ | 00.03 | 18,786 | 20 | 13,007,418,274 | 691,867 | | 08.97 | 5,617,172 | 51 | 33,168,916,461 | 59,041 | | 28.00 | 17,534,216 | 20 | 13,007,418,253 | 741 | | 11.00 | 6,888,432 | 4 | 2,601,483,644 | 377 | | 52.00 | 32,563,644 | 5 | 3,251,854,565 | 99 | +-----------+------------+-----------+----------------+--------------+ | 100.00 | 62,622,250 | 100 | 65,037,091,197 | 1,036 | +-----------+------------+-----------+----------------+--------------+
