Debt is not always an evil. Loans wise
| " invested by the borrower in agencies Of
production, such as lands, mines and i'm
pIements, or Of movement, such as canals,
railroads or steamboats,, often afford essen
tial aid in the development of resources,
and even create the merns of their own
liquidation. A few Of these debts are of
that character. And in many cases the
same debt appears more than once in dif-
ferent forms. Far the greater part, for in
stance, Of the individual debts, are to retail
merchants, who, 10 turn, owe the same mon
ey to banks and wholesale dealers. But
with every allowance for these considera.
tions, this mass of Indebtedness remains a
subject of by no means agreeable contem-
plation. For its reduction or extinction we
must rely on augmented production and
increased ccone,0y, That these may be
safely relied upon, no one can doubt who
understands the character Of our people,
and reflects upon the fact that this indebt-
edness, large as it is, hardly amounts to
one fifth of the aggregate property in the
State, aud exceeds only by third, the ag.
gregate products of a single year.
have already adyerted to the fnan.
cial revulsi9n, which has, during the last
six months, so seriously affected the vari-
ed interests Of our community.
Twice before, during the present centu-
ry, have similar reyulsions occurred; and
both were accompanied by the same train
of calamites and disasters. The Interval
from one of these reyulsions to arother
has twice been marked by space of twen-
ty years. The causes Of each, though very
different in form, may be reduced to the
same general expression, namely; the reck,
less contracting of debts beyond means of
payment. The spirit of ostentaton and
luxury, seek qualification through debt
AS there is no limit 10 these passions OF
the heart, so there is no limit to debts con
tractcd for their qualification, except noto.
rious insolvency which makes credit i'm.
possible. Always most active when pri-
ces are rising, circulation increasing, and
credit expanding. these desires unchecked,
never fail, under such circumstances, to
reach their crisis in enormous and uuiver-
sal Indebtedness, to be speedily and GER
taiuly followed by wide spread collapse
and disaster.
For nearly ten years past the cilcum-
stances of the country have tended to these
results. The influx Of gold from Califor-
MIA, has rapidly augmented from year to
year the volume of the circulating medium:
which has been still farther expanded by
a vast, though not equal, increase of credit
currency. In 1913, before the importa-
ton of gold from California had commen-
ced, the respective amounts of coin and
bank notes in the country were as follows;
coin 1926, ,O27; bank notes $685.
5O6,04l. In 1857, the respective amounts
were coin, S276,lO0,442; bank notes,
$2I4,778, 2e2.

The coal field Of Ohio are nearly equal to
the entire coal fields Of Crest Britain. and
folly equal to those Of oil Southern Ea-
rope, This fact in connection with the
immense beds OF iron ore 50 widely diifu.
sed in the State, demonstrates the vast co.
paeity Of Ohio for mineral production aud
for manufacturer. Still Ohio is emphati-
eally an agricultural State. The products
ef her farms, during the last year. very
largely exceeded in value, the entire cot
ten crop of the United States. An inter
est so important cannot be too earnestly
esmmehded to legislative regard.
The State Board Of Agriculture has per.
brmed aseryice Of great yeiue in stimuia-
ting and pfomoting agricultural improve
meni, AID its annual reports add largely to
our stores ofagricultural knowledge. Bat
This Board cannot do all that should be
done or mUsr be done, ii we wish to re-
tain our present agricultural position. l
respectfully suggest to your consideration
the expediency of establishing an agricul.
tural Institution for the instruction Of the
rising generation in these branches Of
knowledge which pertain especially to the
theory and practice Of farming, 1t is
thought by persons qualified to judge, that
such an institution could be 50 organized
and administered that it would almost, if
not altogether, sustain itself. No one eau
doubt that any cost of which it could be
the occasion, would be repaid to the State
a thousand fold in benefits
While on the side Of industrial develop
ment, there is so much to excite gratifca.
ton and inspire hope, there is another
class Of facts essential to correct estimate
Of our condition, which must not be over
looked.
The Commissioner of Statistics has in
sdtuted extensive inquiries, with view to
ascertain, as accurately as possible. the
debts due from the State,from corporations
and from individuals. 1t is obvious that,
except as to debts of record, it was impos-
siblo tosobtain precise results; but it is be-
lieved that the following statement is at
least an approximation to the truth:
