Sir,—ln the letter of Mr. Thomas A. F Stone there is hardly anything requiring rebuttal. His statements about the personal distribution of our resources are, however, open to cavil. 1 would like to see his figures showing that 5 per cent of the people hold halt the national wealth. In such a computation, joint stock companies should be excepted, or else the number of shareholders quoted.

Warburton.
