DEBT OF EUROPEAN NATIONS.
It Has Increased at Wonderful Rate

few years, says the Cincinnati Times.

the amount of s29, 900, 600. 600 in 1886. In
sixteen years, therefore, the public debt
has increased SS. 900, OCO, 200.
During this period the reduction of in
terest has been going on Just as il has
done i'll the United States.
England is now arranging to reduce her
interest from to 2l9 per cent. and the
other European governments are attempt
ing to reduce the rate of interest from
and to 8. and y per cent.
The immense reduction of interest, how
ever. does not seem to benefit the people.
for the governments take advantage of it
to increase their total debtedness.
Hero we are paying off the debt and re-
ducing the interest at the same time IN
Europe they are reducing the rate of in
terest, but are increasing the nominal
capital OF the debt. SO that no reduction
of taxes can take place.
The total annual interest upon European
indie btedness is about S1,070. ZOO, 900.
while the total annual expenditures of
the War and Navy departments of the
same government reaches the enormous
sum of 1906, ZOO, 900.
The European powers are all of them
troubled with financial difficulties. They
are immensely in debt; yet the political
situation is such as to require increased

To The Editor:
Young men marry so seldom because
there is 30 little real sympathy between
the sexes. There are but few cases OF
true love (founded on affinity aud
respect). There is admiration. and also
a kind of longing for some unattainable
object. aroused by an egotistic diSposi-
tion, which many young men miscon-
strue as love.
Young men often say of some woman
who either will not or cannot marry them.

To the Editor
think one reason why young mon dc
not marry is this: Both will dress in the
height of fashion. attend sociables of all
kinds, and in fact do all to misrepresent
their true station III life.
The young man will too often look
down upon the girl when circumstances
compels to work Tor others, and the girl,
on the other hand. feels herself almost
disgraced when an honest workingman
tries to win her love.
Let them both show themselves in their
true colors and let mothers bring up their
daughters as true and loving companions

To the Editor
The majority of our young men do not
marry because their means will not per-
NIT them to. But that would not be SO
great hindrance if the young women OF
to-day were different. If they were more
womanly, economical and industrious,
and less frivolous, extravagant and indo-
about taking upon themselves the mar
riage vows.
The wives. alas are also a great draw
back to marriage. II they devoted more
time to home and its comforts, and less
to shopping aud gossip, they would show
by example that marriage is a success,
