apologies offered here and there that loans
have increased because banking capital
and surplus have increased. That might
account for something, but not all. Nor
does the fact that national bank-note cir
culation has been augmented and loaned
greatly minimize the result. for to obtain
100000 circulation bank has to expend
a corresponding amount for bonds. 1t
would seem that in figures such as these,
disclosing 4 position of bank resources
throughout the country by no means at
tractive to SPECTATORS or speculative move
ments. Wall street might find ready
explanation for some part Of its declines
and the resulting casualties without at
tempting to ascribe them to the machina-
tons of the bears, the result of schemes
ITO get even with ancient enemies. the
failure of men to render assistance in time
of need. or the denunciation Of banks for
withholding credit to speculative borrowers
who offered security of problematical value
at inflated prices.
END SEEMS NEAR.
It must be reasonably clear to any one
who retains reasoning faculties unimpaired
and has calm judgment that no matter what
happens Wall street is measurably nearer
properties are selling at attractive prices to
the investor. and some of them are below
where they should be, in view of the fine
record of their management and their fu-
ture. 1t is clearly the time for men to hold
their heads clear, the time for discriminate
ing buyers, rather than for indiscriminate
and ruinous sales, and provided always that
the buyer has the cash ready at hand to pay
for what he purchases. What has disturbed
Wall street, the overextension of credit
and other phases of the speculative craze,
may, and probably will, find some reflection
in industrial circles later on 1t is certain.
also, that 1t will be necessary to undo in
time some fundamental mistakes of the
past.
With the crops still uncertain and the fall
demand for money not yet satisfied the
time is not wholly uninviting for specula-
ton purchases. 1t is we'll to bear in mind,
however, that much good has been accom-
plished by the liquidation, and when thor
oughly completed the stock market will be
UNNECESSARILY stronger.
Wall street always discounts events, and
after the blue time brokers may be found
cheerful and smiling, when others are glum
and depressed. 1t is. of course, entirely out
of the question for the speculative element
to look for a bull market. Losses have been
cruel and men have been frightened as well
as weakened financially. To a very impor-
tant element speculation will not be allur-
ing for long time to come. There will be
stock for sale on rallies, and long period
of dullness will foiNsu RTE final reckoning
with the plungers.

REPURLlC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. July 26.-"IIas the present
great boom left the country richer in real
wealth. was the question propounded by
The Republic reporter to William B. Ridg-
ley. Comptroller of the Currency. to-day.
If you mean by the great boom. the
boom in the stock market said Comp
troller Ridsley. Il doubt if it has had any
effect on the real wealth of the country.
1t has doubtless greatly affected the dis
tr;bution of the wealth. but it has not
changed the aggregate amount.
III you mean the real boom which was
the cause of the stock boom and not it's re-
suit. the figures show what has been added
to the wealth of the country.
in 1898 the local coin and other money
in the United States was 81, 1884, 100000 In
1895 this had increased to s20lS, 100000. On
July l. 1903. the money in the country had
increased to $2,6SS. 100000.
Il turn to the figures of the cash in hand
as reported by the various banks. In 1892
for the United States it was 1886, 100000: in
1887 it had grown to S62S 100000. In 1902 it
had reached the enormous sum of 1888 Co.,
900. an increase in ten years of s25S, 10000.
Again l turn to the value Of land, farm
products, etc. for the last ten years.
ments and buildings was 3d. 100000 and
in 1909 it had increased to sl6.674 900, 900. an
increase of 1885,. 900 600. Now this is some
thing which represents real wealth as a re-
suit of our present prosperity. l find that
the value of implements and machinery
owned by the farmer in 1890 was S49i. 900, 900 /:
in 1900 it was s76l 000.O 600. an increase OF
500, CG0, eco.
ms also represents real wealth as a re-
lind the value Of live stock in 1890 was 81
SEQ. 10000, while in 1900 it S3,01S, 900 900.
| an increase of $3.50. 100000. which also means
real wealth.
But the most astonishing figures have TO
do with the value of farm products. In
| 1880 these products We're worth 81 5000 CO..;
the production of the year 1900 81, 739 0VO, UoJ,
an increase OF S2.379 10000.
The figures l am giving are the latest
available. Undoubtedly the farmer has con-
| tinued to expand in his production and his
| prosperity is proportionately greater now
! than ii was in 1861, and all that means real
wealth.
| Il also find that the value of manufac-
| turee articles in a year has increased ST.
| creased coo This. too, means real
wealth to the American manufacturer and
| the American mechanic.
| 1T is the strength of these fundamental
| conditions which has prevented disturb
| ances III the stock market IN May, 1871; in
| September, 1901. when the President was
| shot: and the decline which has BEEN going
On for the last few months from checking
| general business. This is the best possible
bulWark against any commercial and indus
! trial depression and the best guarantee of
| our powers Of recuperat!on."

During a friendly chat one lay last
week one of the we'll known farmers of
Bennington remarked that one Of the
noticeable facts connected with the
visits to different fairs this fall was
the absence of oxen, their places we're
generally taken by the. trotting horse.
According to his statement there is
hardly yoke of oxen in the town of
Bennington, although in smaller towns
especially where numbering is done
they are yet used to some extent.
Forty years ago most any town in
the country could have made larger
exhibit alone of oxen, than all the
towns in the county together could
do at present time.
