considerable portion of the loss
suffered by Vermonters in the West has
been sustained by those who invested in the
stock OF speculative concerns and in the &C.
curities Of short time paper companies.
Some of the savings banks have loan
ed money on Western farm mortgages,
sending their representatives there to see
that the land was what it was represented
to bs and these Investments ought to be as
safe as they would be were the land stu
ated In Vermont, and had these same repre-
sentativos looked after the in vestment.
Moreover, the fact must be conceded that
the Western farm mortgage is improving
as a secure investment, while the rate of
interest is falling to a corresponding degree.
This results from the fact that the condition
of the average Western farmer Is improv-
ing. Residents of Burlington who have
travelled through the West say that the
farmers there were never in better condi-
ton than they are at present, and other
authorities testify to the same effect.
Edward Atkinson, the well-known sta
tistcan, informed New Y ork reporter the
other day that commissioners specially ap-
pointed for the purpose have been conduct
ing Investigations among official records
Complete returns have been made
for Iowa and Montana, and nearly
complete returns for OHIO, Illinois
Kansas and Nebraska. These reports show,
according to Mr.. Atkinson, that more than
one-half Of tho western farms are free from
any mortgage OF any kind. Less than
onehalf are subject to mortgage. The
amount of the mortgages, taken as a whole,
s less than one-half of the value of the
mortgagei land. Half the money lent on
mortgages has been lent by citizens Of the
same State in which the mortgaged farms
are.
The Indebtedness on mortgages of West
ern farmers to Eastern capitalists, or Others
who do not dwell in those States, is less
than twelve and one-halt per cent of the
| true value of the farm lands in the States
named. This does not mean that there arc
no attempt, to secure loans upon undesira-
BILE security, or that all the mortgages oil
ready existing can b, paid Off at once
| but it does indicate that there has been 6
disposition the part OF profes
/ sonal agitators to exaggerate the real cor
dition, which, in the main, is not nearly sc
bad as 1t has been repr esent al 10 be. Those
who are expecting to see the Western farm
mortgage contributs to panic in that sec
ton or in any section are therefore likely t.
be disappointed, and this consideration
ought to have some weight in restoring con
fidence in the public regarding the financia
outlook.

Every thoughtful man in this country
has undoubtedly asked himself during the
past few weeks why so much gold was go,
ing abroad and the chances are that not all
persons received n satisfactory answer.
That this question should be asked is not as
tonshing, as q glance at the gold statement
will show. The god in the United States
treasury on January /, 1879, amounted to
STA, 1913, $780, in March, ! cSS it had risen
to $2lS, SIS, 900, and in January, 1898, it
had fallen to SOS, 600, 600. These figures
represent the course of fluctuations in the
governments gold holdings during recent
years. The gold in the treasury at the
opening of the present week about 500,
900, 600, indicating a loss Of SIS, 600, 900
since the beginning OF the year, and about
$50, 000 900 during the past twelve months.
That most of tho gold which we have ap-
parently lost went abroad is indicated by
the statement of the holdings of the prlnci-
pal European banks. During the year the
gold in the Bank OF England has increased
$50, 900, 600; in the Bank of France, $50, =
600, 900; in tine Bank of Austria, $40, 900, e
goo; while the gold held in the Bank OF Ger
many has decreased $50, 600, 600. Thus it
will be seen that the great banks OF Europe
have increased their stock of gold about
| SO, 000 600, and the United States has fur
nished almost the whole Of this sum to its
| foreign neighbors.
Why our gold should go abroad was told
in n nutshell by Mr. Lichtensten of the
firm of Ladenburg. Thalmaun q Co., to a
reporter of the New FORK Times, who said
THE gold shipments have been made for
| purely business reasons. We have had to
send coin for our settlements. because there
was nothing else available. The balance OF
trade has been against us, and vast amounts
of our securities have been sent back to us
how much nobody can estimate closely.
In settling the balance against us the gold
shipments have been inevitable. y
1t is plain that confidence has been
shaken as to our finances and our currency
This has led to a calling back of money by
our foreign creditors. The moment that
our finances and our currency are put in a
strong position there will be a rush
! for our securities and gold will
flow this way much faster than it has
gone out. The loss of the gold which
we have sent abroad has been severely felt,
but it is a tribute to the financial soundneSs
and strength of the United States that we
have bsen able to send this vast amount of
precious metal abroad without suffering a
national panic and general business distress.

Some idea of the progress that is being
made abroad in the use of the pneumatic
tube for the transmission Of mail matter
can be obtained from the fact that a tube
of this character has been constructed be-
tween Paris and Berlin, the use of which
makes it possible for a letter mailed in
Paris to be delivered in the German capital
in thirty-fve minutes. The English would
not tolerate the construction Of a tunnel be-
tween France and Great Britain for fear of
a French invasion, but possibly John Bull
could see pneumatic tube connecting the
English and French capitals without hav-
ing his knees knock together.
