DEPENDENT ON AMERICA.

The old world, especially Europe,
seems TO be growing more dependent
upon America. Statistics show that an
immense amount Of money is sent home
TO Europe each year by foreign resi-.
dents of the United States, who an
nually make gifts to the relatives and
friends they have left behind. Added
to the amounts tourists spend and to
the large interest charges we pay for
the use Of foreign capital, these con
tributious amount to large sum.
Many Of the less prosperous portions
OF the old country would literally
starye, were it not for American gold.
Many others depend upon Uncle Sans
trade in certain products to keep their
chimueys smoking with the vapor Of
industry, The banking systems of Eu.

rope : financial disorders, unless of the
most serious kind. A humorous writer
has remarked that recent visit abroad
gave him the impression that Europe
was an old woman living on the bounty
OF her youngest son, America.
While this may be a tribe oyerdrawn
it yet contains many elements of truth.
And the more the old lady has to de.
pend ON her son, the less she will feel
like quarrelng with him.
