AMERICAN MONEY IN EUROPE.

The Financial Chronicle estimates that
the merchandise balance of foreign trade
in our favor between July and Jan. / was
more than $SOO0OO.OOO. The greater part of
this large sum has been liquidated by Sc
curities which Europe has sent back to us
and by other liabilities which rowing peo-
pie create in visiting across the ocean.
STILL over and above all these absorptions
of the trade balance, there remains in Lon
don and Berlin at this time $50, 100000 Of
money which belongs to citizens of the
United States. OF this there can be no
doubt. because the bills on London are held
in New York banks.
Why is this? Why is the money of a
people who are always classified as bor-
rowers retained in Europe? There can be
but one answer to these questions, and
that is that the money is worth more in
Europe than in the United States. In
view of the past it is hard to conceive that
such is the fact, but it must be. unless
money owners have lost their reputed sa-
gacity in discovering the best rates of in
terest in the world for their money. The
gilt-edged security offered in London and
Berlin is better property to hold as an in
vestment than similar securities in the
United States. The gilt-edged railroad
stocks and bonds, with the Improvement in
business, do not yield above Slz per cent.
Because the State of New York can readily
borrow money at per cent. Indiana can
do the same. Something better than this
rate can be realized through the money
markets of Europe.
The question arises, Why is it that in
vestors are content to take and 3i2 per
cent. when there appears to be such a field
for investment in industrial and business
enterprise which would yield a much bet
ter return? There are large areas of coun-
try on the Pacific slope which are not one
third settled, and which, under ordinary
circumstances, would afford double the re-
turns on money carefully invested that it
earns invested in securities which are per-
fectly sound. Years ago men took such
risks; the reason they do not do so now
is that they have not entire confidence in
the future of money. If the shadow of the
free coinage of silver could be chased away
and the currency of the country could be
placed upon sound basis, American money
would not remain in Europe TO earn S1s or
y per cent. interest.
