English incomes.

--Who will believe that in that "Nation of shopkeepers there are only a little more than twenty-five thousand persons in Great Britain who receive an income of £500 and upwards from trades and professions. In a population of 25,000,000, only 3,468 persons succeed in earning by their labor incomes of from £ 600 to £ 700; 2,295 attain to from £700 to £800, and only 1,765 can afford to spend from £800 to £900 per annum. When we get to 1,000, but a moderate income in fact for pater familias, we find that there are but 900 persons whose net profits border upon it.
