THE number of the mortgages IN
this country is, in round numbers
q, 900, 900. The people who hold
mortgages are about 3 10000 1t
must be remembered also, in connie
ton with this point, that the whole
examination OF the Census Othce is
confined to the fixed period OF the
last ten years. 1t is believed that
the average value OF each mortgage
will be between $500 and 5000, al
though in some OF the Eastern States
the average will run yer $1,000. One
OF the most interesting thingsln con
nection with the whole inquiry is the
disclosure of the prevailing motive
tor mourning such Indebtedness. In
nearly every case it is for improve
ments, and it is in the line of the de-
velopment OF the country. Fully 90
per cent. of the mortgages are what
are called live debts, incurred by
men who are pushing their fortunes
and are taking chances on invest
ments in developing the business OF
their community. The largest num-
Der of mortgages held in any one
CITY is in Chicago. And this is re-
qarded rather as an evidence of the
extreme energy and business activity
of the town. There is one line OF
mortgages found in the South which
is not found in any other se-tlon q
the country. This is a form OF IN
debtedness incurred for current sup
plies. In other words, the crops, Of
A large number of owners are n ort'

teresting fact disclosed by the inquiry
is the tremendous rate of interest

This may call for stringent laws
against usury. In some parts OF the
West upwards of 90 per cent. ha:
been charged tor the use of money
In no place is an excessive rate o

Free Trade Between the States.

MI. DepeW SAID d vel y lluS tlilllS
at the fourth annual dinner of the
Rochester Chamber OF Commerce
when he declared that "the vast and
almost incalculable internal COM
merce of the United States is the
real basis of its political unity" In
a country embracing such variety OF
climate and soil and affording scope
for such 0iv5rsities of trade and in
dustry 1t would seem to the outsider,
who is ignorant of the character OF
the American people, as f section
must ultimately be arrayed against
section along the lines of their differ
ing interests, until the strain at last
should burst the bonds of political
uni IN between them. The instltu-
ton OF slavery did indeed precipitate
conflict of this description, but
there is no possibility of another
contest aiming to bring about natl
onal ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 1t was felt
and felt truly that with the disap-
pearance of that twin relic OF bar.
barism the only real danger to our
political unity had passed away.
There are two reasons conspicuous
among the manv that may be urged
to uphold our faith in the indestruc-
tibility of the republic. One of them
is the provision of the Constitution
which confirms to every member OF
the federal group the absolute con-
troll of its own domestic affairs, and
the other is the reason assigned by
Mr. Depew. Free trade between
the States and the mighty CONNER
cial system which has resulted from
its operation afford guarantee Of
the Union as strong as that Of the
patriotic sentiment of the people.
The different communities are so
closely bound up in each other,
their interests are SO interviewer,
that it would be hard to conceive of
cause of irritation aggravatjng
enough to produce disruption. We
have to day under discussion pub
lie question that threatens to array
the South and West against the
Middle and Eastern States, but who
believes that the agitation for free
coinage of silve- will ever be SO Bit
terly advocated on the one hand
and SO bitterly opposed on the
other as to raise the spectre of poll
teal separation?
Until the wires are pulled down
and the rails are torn up" eloquen
thy exclaims the most gifted of rail
road presidents, "the American
Union will form one grand and
growing republic" Nor does the
validity of this prediction depend on
the purely selfish view which it
seems to take. 1t is not only be
cause the Union is a good thing
commercially and financially that it
will last forever. National prosper
ity is identified with pride and patri
otism as well as with peli The love
of country takes fresh heart and
hope from the Spectacle of its glory
and advancement. Whatever con-
tributes to its wealth and develop
ment broadens AMI deepens the
foundations OF national pride. DR..
Depew uttered a mighty truth in the
sentence we have quoted from his
Rochester speech. He has in him
the elements OF great philosopher.
