The lollowing article was written by E. M. Mansfield,.,Esq., .of Ohio, the great Pia tirtician of the West : -• : • ' Tie Resource. of the Country; and their Annual Growth in Relation to the Ma- Gomel Debt.. . The' growth' of • the United States- is the • wonder of the world. , Nothing like it iq re corded in authentic, history.- To - foreign na tions this growth, is known elniost exclusive ly bY the: increase of population, or the ap-,- pearance of American- shins in their ports.— : But when we cbtite to investigate the ability of the nation to. incur extraordinary: expense,. or to pay an acCumuleting . debt, the question is netso much one of population as.of indus try and productions. It is it question of the rate at which • the nation increases in wealth and 'resources. • This problem has scatcely been investitmted at and is understood by few. To meet the• question of the.ability of thii nation to pay its present and future-war ,debt - with promptness, and without the' least : distress or- ditubt.'we,propese to solve these problems: - 1. What is the Wealth of the Nation'?' 2. At -what rate does it increase 3. What ieits,Proportion to the debt? • What' is the -Wealth of..the Nation ? Wealth is all the- - available property of the couutry—lands. hciuses,. precious metels.and domestic; animals, and instruments for the employment of labor and 'to mike "lands pro . ductive.. In ,some countries, its in Holland •.and Belgium, there_ is a considerable draw back. on many .of these, from' the fact that ' there "is little - or no market for -them, ex . cept 'for the use of those who .hold them.— Thus, a . than who builds a hehie , in Amster dam does not expect to sellit for whet-it cost;. - he builds it for. his own use... 'ln .this country it - is exactly the reverse. Very man expects to get More for -his ...property thari what it • costs, and in nine cases out of ten is justified' by the. event...:ln -country where, foreign . immigration is , immense;. and . . the natural `growth, rapid; the Market...is always. a, rising one; ad all - species of property is marketa- I ,- . Renee,' hi. valuing t ,thelpropertY of the country, there is no .draw back from the want :of sale;: or the possible fall ef The . property of the nation .in one year is -worth more than it Was appraised: at the preceding year., Hence,if we can find a fair -valuation.of the property of the copatry t that-valuation is a perfectly safe standard to ascertain the wealth of the nation. It is - only recently that any attempt has - been made: to . value the prop erty or wealth of nations. In this country,. the only valuations we 'have are in the cen suses, of 1850 and 1860; but these are enough" to establish both the actual value of property, and the rate - of increase. The valuations are very well: proved, by corresponding nearly with several State valuations, which are made for the purposes - of taxation. For example, the Increase-of the wealth for the. State of Ohio, given in the O. S. censuses of 1850 and 1860, compared very nearly with that giver; by-the Auditor of State and the Commission er-of Statistics, and are known to be very near the actual saleable value of -property.— We therefore assume the valuation of proper- - ty of this country given in the censuses of 185,0 and 1860 to be substantially correct.. Taking, then, only the. States and Territories now possession qf die tinited States GOVeir7l". ment, (although, for the ultimte payment of the debt, 'we have .a right to assume that we shall-recover the taiok preperty of the nation,) the following brief table will show our wealth in 1860: Inc... .• , .
