"I should like to come back to the earth one hundred years from now to see what changes science, art, and politics would bring in the interval," said Benjamin Franklin shortly before his death in 1790. It was a characteristic remark. It. was in line with the aspiration of thoughtful persons in all ages of the world. But what would the American who died on July 4th, 1776 think if he should be permitted to take a glance at his country today? The thirteen struggling British col onies of his time for the Decla ration of Independence was mere ly a desire which was not trans muted into fact until after sev eral years of hard fighting have grown into a nation of forty-eight states. The 3,000,000 Americans of that day have expanded to 100,000,000. That thin fringe of settlers along the Atlantic sea board from N'ew Hampshire to Georgia Y.iH years ago, has spread across a continent and has ad vanced to the Gulf of Mexico.

Today the United States with an aggregate valuation of $120,000,000,000 for its real es tate and personal property, equals in wealth the United King dom and the French combined. which are our nearest rivals in that field. While we only have five per cent, of the world's pop ulation, we produce twenty per cent, of the world's wheat, twenty-two per cent, of the world's gold, thirty-live per cent, of its coal, thirty-five per cent.- of its manufactures, thirty-eight per cent, of its silver, forty per cent of its pig iron, forty-two per cent of its steel, fifty-five per cent, o its petroleum, fifty-eight per cent of its copper, seventy per cent of its cotton, and eighty per cent of its corn. , Salesmen Wanted.
