low that II is impossible for a peasant ever to
get much money ahead. and his labor and his
crop all that he has to mortgage. Just
now, on account of the recent famine and the
vast loss IN the shape OF cattle and horses, the
peasants have become more in debt than ever,
and the hundreds of millions of dollars which
the government has loaned to the villages on
account of the famine has made the Russian
peasant the poorest man in the world. No one
in Russia outside Of the peasants sees how they
can possibly repay the government for this fam
Inc money and no one expects it. The car will
probably forgive the debt some time in the fu-
ture, when he wishes 20 be especially gracious
to the people. and several Russian statesmen
have told me that the only reason why the
money was not given outright was because such
gift would tend to make the Russians nation
OF paupers and to cause the peasants not to
work at all. on the basis that the government
and the car would not let them starve.
POOR MOBILES.
The mobiles of Russia grow poorer every year.
and there is q bank here under the government
which was organized to lend money to the
mobiles upon mortgages on their land. The
loans of this bank already amount to more
than $50 000. 600, and a number of estates have
been sold under foreclosures OF mortgages by
il. Not long ago it was said that 5000 estates
we're advertised for sale by this bank of the
nobility. and the large estates which used to
prevail in Russia are fast being divided up by
debt and high interest. The mobiles know little
more than the peasants about taking care Of
their property. and they are more eItrayagant
and less careful of making both ends meet
Before serfdOm was abolished they had more
than they could spend. and now when they
have TO rely upon their own brains to make up
for the loss of the land, which was sold to the
peasants. they find themselves poor. There
are large number of private banks in addition
to these government banks, and these, am
told, are making money, and they are paying
dividends Of from to 10 per cent annually y
These banks came into existence about the
time that the serfs were freed, and there we're
no banks to speak Of in Russia outside of the
government banks before 1864 Russia is lust
learning what banking means, and before this
time the "Bank of the State" did all the BUSH
ness Of the empire. Ii has a capital Of less than
$4,000, 900 and its private deposits were over
sl25.OOO 900. As soon the private banks
began TO be established the money in circu-
la;ion in Russia increased, and in about ten
years the deposits doubled and banking capital
increase tenfold. Loans and discounts were
then used largely for business purposes and now
money Is turned over rapidly here in Russia
as anywhere almost in the world. The Russian
National Bank or Bank Of Russia issues in the
neighborhOod Of 500 900 900 Of paper and il
has more than 800 000. 900 of assets. Its
original capital was only about s12 600, 600, but
It's business amounts to $3.50 .000, 900 every year
and il has deposits in trust amounting to more
than 500, 600, 900. 1t is the bank through which

THE CREDIT SYSTEM
A large part Of the business of Russia is based
upon credit, but very little buying is done BY
cheek, and the man with his bank account
draws his money and pays his bills in il rather
than with his check book. The merchants, as a
rule, give long credit and the retailers buying
bills 81 goods usually give 40 notes until nine
months after the sale. At the end Of nine

girls. Two nuts are placed on the Goals side by
