Yesterday afternoon while the family Of

busily engaged in preparing dainties and
pastries to attend the United Evangelical
picnic at Lakeside to-day, a large piece
of the ceiling dropped without giving any
notice. The plaster fell directly on the

nobody was injured, as Mrs, Seltzer had gone
into the cellar and her daughter had been

A BRIGHTER CHRISTMAS.

This is a brighter Christmas than the
country has seen IN several years The
Christmas of 1893 was ominous with closing
factories and decreased employment That
Of 1894 came in the midst of the realization
of the fears Of a year earlier. The Christ
mas of 1895 was brighter than its immediate
predecessor because there was a general
feeling that the country had seen it's dark
est days and could scarcely see darker. The
Christmas of year ago was brighter be-
cause the prospects Were Iuore hopeful.
Business and industry had not picked up
much but there was a general confidence in
the conditions which would insure better
times Now the hoped-for has been largely
realized. Better days have come. If one had
no other knowledge of the changed condi-
lions than comparison of the appearance
of those seen in the shops and stores and in
the streets the past four Christmases and
the present, he could see that great
change has taken place for the better in
the spirit of the people,. Unconsciously they
give the impression that they are those who
have come out of darkness and uncertainty
into light and certainty. There can be no
doubt that thousands of families have more
to enjoy this Christmas than they had
when its four predecessors arrived. Many
tens of thousands of men have employment
now who did not have it year ago. Hun
dreds, indeed. thousands of men in the di-
versified business and industries of the
country realize q general Improvement in
conditions since the Christmas of 1896. If
improved conditions have not come to all
assuring.
These are the reasons, from the material
side, why to-day will be a more joyous
Christmas than the people at large have
enjoyed for several years.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1897-12-25

Spacious and dishonest as the argument was
1t all rested ON the assumption that we are
debtor nation. Even if that were true
the argument is unsound. but without it
the whole argument falls to the ground.
Now, ii is true that for many years the
United States was the debtor of Europe,
but il is so no longer. Conditions have
changed, and instead of being debtor ma
ton we are a creditor nation. This is shown
by the fact that for some time past our
exports have largely exceeded our imports
making a large balance of trade in our ia
vor, and that this balance has not yet been
liquidated. During the eleven months of
1897, ending with November, the total ex-
port from the United States amounted to
$S75,O0O,0O0 and the imports to $691 900, OOO
leaving a balance Of trade III f. vor of the
United States of 1884 100000. During the
same period the imports of golt were only
about $27 100000 showing an llquidated
balance the years transactions of about
1857 900 0C0. These figures are not exact, but
they are approximately correct, and show
that the year will close with Europe largely
our debtor. Another contrbutory fact is
that during the last year large amount of
American capital has been loaned in Eu-
rope, or allowed to remain there, because
the rate of interest is higher there than
here: A Washington special in the Journal
of yesterday said:
1t is a well-known fact that a large
o OF Or $40 @ @ mh es een as nsn a S
London during the past thirty days on
count of the high interest prevailing at that
center. With the money market tightening
up on this side, it is considered as only
natural that American banks which have
been n sen1ding. their surplus abroad should
be drawing 1t in again 1t is also natural,
under conditions as they are now found to
exist, that London should return this
been considerable withdrawals of gold from
the Bank of England within the last two or
three days, and 1t is thought that the coin
was for shipment to this country Any inn
pcrtant move of gold from Europe to
America beginning at this season of the
year would be out of the ordinary, and is
construed as being a very healthy symptom.
There is no way of forming correct esti-
mate of the amount of money which the
loans and credit extended on transactions
in food Stuffs. but the balance in our favor
is undoubtedly very large.
1t is not in London only that American
capital has been loaned. 1t has been loaned
in Amsterdam, Berlin and other European
money centers. These loans help TO swell
Europe's indebtedness to the United States,
already large on account of the excess of
our exports over imports. Until this in
debtedness is paid off the United States will
continue to be a creditor nation. The ar
gument that we ought to adopt cheap
money because we are "a debtor nation"
has foundation in fact or logic.
