Take, for Inatance, Mr. Astor. It Is said that he possesses about fifty million pounds sterling. Evidently he cannot spend the Interest of thla amount In a given number of years, therefore, if thle money from generation to generation remains in the hands at one single individual, It will become 600 million pounds sterling.
