PROPERTY CHANGING OWNERS.

Although the United States is suffering
just now from the effects Of legislation
which is bad chiefly because II Is untimely.
the great depression through which the
world has just passed and from which il
Is emerging is due to a far more serious
cause The amount of existing money is
not less but far greater than II was TWEEN
ty-five years ago. but in that time very
much OF Il has changed hands. making
the once poor rich and leaving tn. once
rich poor.
This has been due chiefly to had judg-
ment and to overspeculation. What the
total loss may be throughout the entire
world cannot be estimated. The word
loss is used in its commonly accepted
sense. but every loss has been somebody's
gain. since money has not been lost but
only changed ownership.
