The Distribution of Wealth in the United States
A Chicago Advance excerpt argues wealth cannot be evenly shared due to population growth outpacing wealth creation. It presents 1870 estimates of national wealth at 24 billion, 4 million voters, and 6 million adult males, showing equal division would yield only 1000 dollars per adult while women and minors lack full adult access. It explains yearly surplus production remains about 1 billion, insufficient to lift all to sufficiency, and notes the moral and political limits of equal distribution.
