AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
(From the Brattleboro Phoenix

tfTOm the Br9ttleDOrO PnOenlX.)
G.. G. Benedict is worthily entitled to
receive this week the Fluctuations of his
fellow craftsmen. He is not only the
Nestor Of Vermont journalism but prob
ably also the oldest newspaper man in
continuous service in the United States.
Fifty years ago April he became a part
ner with his father in the publication of
the Burlington Free Press, and for more
than 40 years he has been the editor In
chief Of that paper The Free Press is
easily Nermonts leading newspaper and
is rated as one of the 100 best news
papers in the country. In looking back
over the half century of the greatest
progress and development in the worlds
history, Mr., Benedict can truly say "All
this | saw, and a part Of it was" Mr..
Benedict's Vermont in the Civil War
is a standard publication and the veteran
journalist is unquestionably tho best In
formed man on all matters relating to the
history of the State.

that position. In company with his father,
Geo. w. Benedict. he purchased the Free

Press April l. 1853 Fifty years is a long
period of service and what is more I'm
portart. it has been an honorable and use
ful ono to the city and State in which it
has been given. That this service has
been appreciated is evidenced by the CON
tinuous growth of the Froe Press in influ-
ence and prosperity. which to-day is Yer
mont's leading daily paper. While the
Times does not always agree with the
opinions of Mr.. Benedict, it recognizes in
him man who has been and Is a power
in the State. and it wishes him many
years more of usefulness in his profess

There Il not ! country ii the world
which has not had to borrow money
from Great Britain, and there are few
governments which have not had to
fan back on John Bull when they've
been in Queer street, M
Guatemala, declares Pearson's
Weekly, has borrowed large amount
Of British capital How do matters
stand to-day? The bonds Tor S 100 are
worth somewhere about s 2a only, and
there has been no payment Of inter-
est since June, 1899. Even then only
paltry two per cent. was paid, and
half Of that was not in cash. Hon
duras is far worse debtor The
bonds which have face value of & 100
are dear at SIS. All this is owing to
the fact that Honduras spends far
more than it earns.
Colombia, strictly speaking, owes
British investors a3.500,O00. Nearly
the whole of these debts are due to
23-it;ss. creditors. This particular re-
public, in 1897, called it's creditors to-
gether and made them an offer of a
composition Of SO much in the pound.
1t wiped out its old debt by giving
new bonds fer a2,7O0,00o on which
it paid ~ per cent. interest. Even
other countries, ABOUT which we know
far more, such as Greece and Turkey,
are almost as bad. A Greek 100
bond is worth from f31 to 6 "A, ac-
cording to its class. "A Turkish bond,
''series D." is worth but e26. That is
why British creditors sigh. 4
Greece owes her existence to John
Bull Then the money she owes him!
This must amount to somewhere
about two and half millions, exclud-
ing the loan of 1898. all of which is
gone hopelessly. The latter loan was
one of f6, SOC, 900, and was guaranteed
by Britain, France and Russia, each
country being liable for third Of it,

unfortunate debtor. In 1851 the Otto
man government, being unable to
meet its liabilities, was obliged to call
together its creditors in order to en-
ter into an arrangement with them,
John Bull must have sum of about
G 100000 owing to him by Turkey.
The sum is the balance still owing of
a loan of 100000 made in 1855 in or
der to help Turkey to fight Russia.
Egypt owes a loan obtained SO re-
Gently as 1897. nJohn Bulls account
of his expenditure there is heading:
Especial Services: Egyptian Governs
ment, Grant in Aid" Under this is
an amount of e79s. 500.
This is because John lent Egypt
better than mere money.
He lent her men with brains, who have
made her into healthy, prosperous
country of the sort that pay off their
debts in full. Egypt has other debts |
than monetary debts to pay off.
