HOPEFUL.

Perhaps the mortgage indebtedness OF
the people of the United States is about
as unpromisng a subject to be cheerful
over as can be named. Mortgages have
played an important part in human life,
both in real existence and in fiction.
In most Irish dramas the first curtain goes
down on a family turned upon the cold,
cold world while the holder OF the mort
gage stands in the rear rubbing his hands,
as if turning women and children into the
street marked the happiest moments of
his life.
But Mr.. Carroll D. Wright finds bright
side to the mortgage incident. lie has
ascertained that there were 4.117, sos separ-
ate mortgages on record on the first of
January, 1890, calling for the large sum of
6,019. go, 1856. But this is the dark side of
the picture. Upon personal inquiries
made in 102 counties he found that 8O.13
ger cent Of the mortgages had been made
f6r purchase money and improvements.
In other words, farmers had not mort
gagged their homes because they were not
making living, but TO enable themselves
either to buy more land or to make needed
improvements. Only LIS per cent OF the
whole were the result of inability to make
the two ends meet.
