A FOREIGN OPINION.

The London Statist." in an article on the pros
poets of American railroads. says:
Will the depression for which American rail-
roads have made such ample preparation come
In the future? Every thing points TO the con-
clusion that America Is likely 10 remain prosperous
for several years The exports of the country are
on an enormous scale, and the balance of trade IS
immensely in its favor. In the last seven years IL
has greatly reduced its Indebtedness. Farmers
have large balances at their bankers, and their
lands more valuable and their credit has never
been good. Wages have risen to the level at
which stood before the collapse of 1893.
Money is cheap. and capital seems likely TO be
plentiful for a considerable time come.
