The prosperity of thi, country a> compared
with that of other countries j. well illustrated
by the price of real estate, when compared
with the prices which ruled Il few Years ago
1t is estimated that rural property in England
has fallen from 10 to 25 per cent. in ten years,
and never before have rs many farmS been
offered for sale now. Similar accounts
come from France, where the price of farms is
better known. because all mortgages are enter
ed in the publi records. and few sales are
made on private terms. In the department of
Lozere property has fallen - per cent. in price
since 1879. No such decline has occurred in
this country On the contrary. land is, on the
whole. worth more today throughout this
country than it was at the time when our gov
