THE LAST OF THE LOAN
OF THE
CHICAGO
Danyille & Vincennes
Railroad Company.
To Careful Investors.

1t is seldom that Mortgages upon new Railroads
are considered sufficiently safe for the investment
Trust Funds. 1t is only when Railroad is earning,
net, of its interest obligations with GER
tainty of steady growth, that its Bonds be said
to be perfectly safe.
The CHICAGO DANv1LLE VINcENNEs RAIL
ROAD is doing this, and has this certainty. That
part Of it known as the ILLINOIS DIVISION from
Chicago to Danville, 1872 Miles finished last year.

in December, 1871, to s57,5s7 s5 in August, 1872.
The net earnings for August were S3o,412 49, or at
the rate of $364,949 50 per The total inter-
est ability upon the total issue of Bonds upon bot
the Illinois and Indiana divisions is s2sOOoo gold
The Illinois division is therefore, earning net,
than enongh to pay interest upon the entire bonded

THE INDIANA DIVISION
is about eighty miles in length traversing extensive
Bitumnous Coal fields, and making direct (and the
shortest possibe line between Chicago and the Block
Coal district at Brazil.
The Iron and other materials for the Indiana Divi
sion have all been bought and paid for in cash, a
part of it is in operation, and the entire Division
is to be finished this and opened to prota-
bic business.
The company is not in debt, and owns large and
very valuable real estate in Chicago, beside having
an equipment of twentythree irstclass locomotives
and about 700 cars.
A first mortgage upon such road, at the rate of
S1s,500 per mile is safe investment and know of
other railroad bond, at the price asked for this

From my observation they Immediately

ease than before being clipped.

THE London Economist, in an article
opening with the remark d" that Mr.. Bout
we'll S third statement revives the impress
sion that seldom has the finance minister Of
a great country been less competent than
Mr. Boutwell, has shown himself to be-"
and that "his report contains little else
than statement of his adherence to pol
icy of heavy taxes to reduce the debt, and
a lame account and vindication of his oper-
atoms to convert the debt" goes into an
examination of the financial situation in
the United States which explains the rapid
and steady rise Of American credit in
Europe, and fully accounts for the recent
reported offer of the Rothschilds to take
the four per cent. loan if the interest is
made payable in London. The first thing
in American finances which impresses the
European Imagination is the size of tho
SURPRISES. These are something absolute
ly without precedent. By close manage
ment, and the most accurate and scientific
adjustment of taxation, England is able in
peaceful years, to produce surplus OF
from s., 900 900 to so, 900, 900, while every
other great state in Europe, except Prussia,
makes deficit as regularly as Christmas
comes round. The United States, on the
other hand, with nothing that can be called
system of taxation at all, and
nothing that can be called even an attempt
at scientific adjustment, turns out year
after year SURPRISES ranging from $50, 0OO,-
| 600 to 500. 000, 900, and as the Economist
remarks, x the whole of these vast sunni
are available for the reduction of tine debt"
and what, perhaps, still more amazes the
: European tinaneier is that even the loose
estimates at the probable yield of the reve-
nue. made by such finance minister as
| ours are actually surpassed, and consider
ably surpassed, by the result. All this is,
J of course, the consequence Of the vigor Of
American industry and the rapidity of the
national growth in spite Of all mistakes, er-
| rors, and calamities.
