A farmer correspondent Of the New
York Independent makes and supports
by statistics statement which, if true,
affords matter for serious thought to
political economists, and to all other
students Of social and political prob-
lens. He asserts that the small farm
ers, as class, are disappearing from
the United States, and large estates
being steadily built up by aggregation.
He, for instance, says: an 1880 the
Bureau of Statistics in this State
(Indiana) found that for eight years
preceding that time there had been
steady annual increase Of real estate
mortgages in Indiana, amounting to
more than $l2,OO0,O0O. A majority
of these mortgages were laid upon
farms. I have repeatedly asked county
recorders whether they recorded OF
cancelled more mortgages, and havo
Invariably received for answer that the
numbers recorded far exceeded the
number cancelled. In Kansas and
other Western States, l am informed,
the condition is far worse than 1t is
here" Speaking from his own obser-

could show you many large estates
which have been built up by absorba-
ton Of smaller ones. cannot think
Of case where large estate has
been broken up and sold to small pur-
chasers." Speaking theoretically one
might predict such q result as the nat
ural, il not inevitable, outcome Of the
modern methods and spirit. and es-
pecially Of the use Of labour-saving
machinery, which, in its very. nature,
must be better adapted, economically,
to large than small operations. But
where to all this is tending is ques-
ton which, none the less, demands
anxious consideration.
