THE sTATIsT AND THE UNITED


Messrs. Thomas Branch & Co. are 20
be congratulated in having succeeded I'm
convincing the London statist. the we'll
known financial paper, that the United
States is possibly not insolvent, and that
there is a future for the country and its
securities
The Statist has won for itself a repu-
tation for consistency. It cannot at once
acknowledge that it has been wrong in
judging the situation in this country, but
it prints in full in its editorial column,
the following letter OF August 10th last,
from the well-known banking house,
Thomas Branch & Co.. Of this city:
eve note the cautious advice you con-
tinue 10 give your investors in regard TO
American securities. We take pleasure
i'm enclosing YOU copy of an article pub
lished i'm the New York Evening Post, I'm
January last Contrasting business in 1879
with 1897. and showing points Of resem-
blance i'm the two years. il is not me-
cessary 10 remind you with what extraor-
binary success the paper predicted the
course OF financial events in this cOun-
try. Thoughtful Americans are satisfied
that conditions have rarely ever been
more promising for a return of prosperity
10 the United States. We have passed
through a long period of depression For
eign exchange is falling Liquidation has
run its course Many Of our principal
properties have been reorganzed ana
placed upon a solid basis Railroad earn
ings are Throwing. our crops are large.
There Is q recognized deficiency in the
crops OF Europe II is likely we Will be
called upon 10 make enormous exports In
grain and cotton this year. There Is only,
perhaps. one thought 10 deter foreign in
vestors from buying largely of American
securities-the currency question. But
as YOU have already pointed opt. TO say
the least OF il. the political situation is
such that no adverse legislation can oc-
cur in three years. while II is possible
something very favorable may be accom-
plshed.
1--WE desire that foreigners should see
the American situation i'm its true light.
We believe IN the future Of America, and
confidently look for the return OF real
prosperity"
