Four of the great American land
mortgage companies of the United
States, with aggregate outstanding
obligations amounting to $85, OO0,-
600, have now suspended, and it
involves widespread misery and
ruin. These companies advanced
loans on the security of farms and
real estate in many of the western
States, and the lender believed that
he had the double security of the
land and the capital of the COM
panies. Investments of this nature,
bringing a rather high rate of in
terest, have been rather popular in
the eastern States and in Great
Britain, and vast sums of money
have been placed In the hands of
the managers of these companies.
But the chief difficulty has been in
the speculative value of the lands
taken for security, and in the want
of sound judgment on the part of
sub-agents. The fall in values
and the inability Of the borrowers
to pay interest, has resulted in sus-
pensions, and deprives thousands
of people of the incomes which
they regarded as absolutely safe.

Nay II, 1894.

There's rather interesting
bit of loveliness IN the shape
of a lamp down In our store
that we would like you to see.
| It's been here sometime, be-
cause the price was too high
for the average lamp user;
we've cut it down a half so
that it may go to the home of
some one who likes really good
things for the parlor. Some
persons prefer bright metal
for lamps, because they are
more snowy; we don't, neither
do most peaple abroad. Oak
makes up into lovely furniture,
but where is there a piece of
it for Iarlor decoration that
compares with ebony. So it is
with lamps-high class lamps,
the wrought iron style, as
black by comparison as the
Ace of Spades, is richer and
adds more to the furnishing Of
a room than a half dozen
polished ones. We can give
you either style. but the
Wrought Iron is the best, this
one is better than the best,
because it has a fount made of
lockwood Pottery decorated |
in subdued tints.
Other lamps, good, bad and |
Indifferent, in SO far as styles |
go, are as thick with US as flies
around a sugar barrel. We |
don't ask you to believe all we
say about lamps, we don't
believe it ourselves; come
along and see for yourself.
Until the tariff business is
settled in the United States,
there will be a feeling of I'M
rest among sugar producers in
Hawaii owing to the doubt
about the duty on foreign
sugars. To relieve this restless
feeling and IN a measure to |
compensate the planter for the
loss he may have sustained
through the Mckinley bill. we
have decided to advise every
owner of land on the ISLANDS
to adopt the Jones Locked
Fence as a measure of eco
nomy. From fifty to twenty
i've dollars per mile may be
saved by it's use and it will be
'taunch for years when an
ordinary fence will fall from
is own weight.
