THE STOCK OF GOLD AND GOMEZ
DENCE.


The drain of gold from New York to
Europe still continues Already in the
last six months, more than $4,000, DOC
|. Of gold has been carried away, decreas-
ing our store OF that metal and con-
tracing the currency to that extent.
But even with that diminution there is
far larger volume OF money in the
country now than there has been at
any time since the resumption OF specie
payments, and after losing $4,000, 900
or more of gold, there is a greater stock
of the metal now on hand than there
was on the first of January, 1890. The
mint authorities estimate that there
is $500, OOO,0 900 more gold now in the
country than there was in 1873, and
the silver circulation is very rapidly
being added to. Eleven months ago,
as the treasury report of July l, 1890,
showed, there was of gold and silver in
this country 81, 076, 1S4. 900, and the adj
ditions by coinage since then far more
than balance the loss OF gold by Euro
pean expectations.
Last year our minss of precious
metals produced S103, 800, 900, one-third
OF which was gold. This is an average
yield, and there is nothing to indicate
that it will not be kept up.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1890, the excess of our exports over i'm
ports was S6S,51s,O0O this being the
balance in our favor. The growing
cotton and wheat crops, our chief ex-
ports, are so bountiful that we will
have more TO send abroad than in 1890,
and the harvests in European countries
are so unpromising that foreign con-
sumers will require all our surplus at
good prices, largely adding to the vol
urne of our exports. Besides this, the
Mckinley bill has put al almost pro-
hibitory tariff on many foreign articles
formerly largely purchased for this
country. and the effect of this increased
tariff ezaction will be to decrease the
imports of European goods.
IT, with poor crops, We were able to
show balance of trade in our favor OF
S6S,51S,0 in 1880, that balance should
be more than double this year, with the
favorable conditions OF larger exports
and smaller imports. The gold that is
now flowing out of the country will soon
return to cover balances, and much
more with it.
There is money in the country
abundance of it-and when the crop ex-
ports turn the tide OF gold to US there
will be much more. What the country
needs now is not only more money but
more confidence to use that money
which we have.

BORROWING MONEY ON LAND.

The constitution of Texas forbids the
owner of a homestead which may in
clude good sized farm, to cucumber
the same with mortgage. To that
provision in the fundamental law is at
tributed the happy and fortunate cir.
cumstance that the land of Texas, I'm.
like that OF many other states, is free
from debt. Her farming communities
are not oppressed with millions piled
mountain high of mortgage indebted
ness resting on those of several states
directly north of US. They are not COM
PEELED to pay annually or semi-annually
millions OF interest to Eastern loan
companies. The constitution stands
between them and the suicidal folly
which they seem ever ready to commit,
and which the mass of farmers in other
states have committed, of enslaving
themselves and theirs to Eastern capt.
tai. This provision of the constitution
has been the faithful: theme for years OF
applausive oratory. It has been laudeo
as the sacred palladium that stands be-
tween the farmer and ruin. We have
heard it from the farmer, on the stump
and in the halls OF justice. The last
session of the legislature refused by an
overwhelming vote to submit propo-
sition for a new cons titution mainly on
the ground that the homestead exemp-
ton law would be endangered. That
body preferred the old instrument with
that clause, to a new and far better one
without it. 1t declined to take any
chances, to incur any risks On that
point.
Now in the face Of such condition
of things as that, of such a wise and
conservative sentiment crystalized in
law, it is urged as one OF the reasons
why the farmers should rebel against
the Democratic party, which is re-
sponsible for the law, and support a
third party, that he may get money
from tie government secured by mort
gage on his land. In the first place
the hundreds of thousands OF Texas
farmers who cannot now mortgage
their land because of the homestead
law could not procure money from the
government. Only the wealthy land
holders and land syndicates could do
so. If there were any good in cheap
money the land syndicate and not the
individual farmer would profit by it.
But to speculate on that point is futile. If
it is inexpedient, dangerous and ruinous
for the farmer to mortgage himself to
en- individual or company of individ-
uals, how can it be the acme of politi-
cal wisdom to mortgage his farm to the
government? Does the change of mas
tiers constitute the difference between
wisdom and folly? If the homestead
clause of the state constitution be all
that has been claimed for il by tongue

REALTY AND BUILDING.
THE BRIGHTEST PROSPECT FOR
THE CITY OF FORT WORTH.
England's People Investing in Fort Worth
Enterprises - The North Side Park.
Handsome Residences.

Last week was one full of importance to
the harvesting of the wheat crop in all the
rich country tributary to this city well
under way, and gave an indication Of the
amount of money that would be put into
circulation to move the crop. Between
Fort Worth and Quanah 1000 new binders
in addition to those already in use are now
at work harvesting the crop. In the past
few weeks over one hundred new threshers
have been sold between Henrietta and
Quanah, and they will be at work in few
days. Yesterday thousands of dollars were
paid out to harvest hands, and there is an
army of them at work. By June 90 the
harvesting will all be done, portion of the
crop will be threshed and some of it mar
keted. Mr.. G. Fl. Silliman, who returned
yesterday from trip through the wheat
belt, says the bankers between Henrietta
and Quanah say at least six million bushels
of wheat will be marketed in the counties
of Clay, Wichita, Wilbarger and Harde-
man. The yield will be from twenty to
thirty bushels to the acre. 1t is expected that
81 per bushel will be realized, and certainly
not less than S. cents per bushel. Between
Fort Worth and Henrietta, counting out the
timbered country, something like 1850, 600
bushels of wheat will be harvested In the
timbered section the peach and plum crop,
the berries, etc, have yielded most abun-
dainty. hundreds OF thousands of dollars
will be received for these products Corn
is doing well. Oats will yield from seventy
five to 100 bushels to the acre Cotton is
luxuriant and cattle are fattening This
applies to the country between this city
and Quanah, 1872 miles away on the Fort
Worth and Denver, The reports from the
counties on the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande, southwest, are equally good. The
Brownwood country will market large
wheat crop. These are the golden days of
Texas and Fort Worth. All these facts
have been made known in the East to the
banks and also are known across the water
in England The manager of the largest
loan company IN Texas doing business and
with headquarters at Fort Worth said yes
terday the company would put out Sl06. 900
month for year on Fort Worth and farm
property, half and half. AS far as Fort
Worth was concerned, he said, the city
never had such basis before on which to
loan; the packery, the brewery and the
cotton mill gave her solidity wanting
heretofore. As he said this he opened a
drawer in his desk and took out cable
gram ordering the purchase of block Of
packing company stock. The English peo-
pie know Texas and Fort Worth anG never
had such confidence in them before.

located in Brown county. The fact is the
land is situated in Coleman county abouH
ten miles west of the Brown county line,
near the town of Santa Ana and within a
few miles of Coleman, the county seat of
the county of that name. The settlement of
1900 or 10000 acres of splendid agricultu-
