The following statement exhibits the total valuation of real and personal estate in the United States, according to the Census Returns of 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. Both the "true" and the "assessed" valuation are given, except in 1850, which gives only the "true." The dispartiy between the actual propery and that which is assessed for taxation is very striking. The effect of the war and the consequent abolition of slavery on the valuation of property in the Southern States is clearly shown by the figures. In all comparisons of value between the different periods, it must be borne in mind, that, in 1870, gold was at an average premium of 25.3 per cent. To equate the valuation with those of other years, there must be a reduction of one-fifth on the reported valuation of 1870, both "true" and "assessed." The four periods exhibit a more rapid accumulation of wealth in the United States than was ever known before in the history of the world. STATES 1850. 1860. 1870. 1880.
