the total investment in all the rail-
roads OF the country. Never before
in the history of America were the ag-
ricultural conditions of the country
so sound and solid; never before
were the farmers of the South and
the West alike so nearly out of debt,
and with a total value of farm pro-
ducts to their credit so staggering in
amount as to be almost beyond COM
prehension. Contrast the $7,0OO,0OO,-
900 which will this year be paid to
American farmers with the total for
preceding years. In 1890 the total
value of farm products was s2,46G,-
100000, or but a little more than one
third of the value this year. Even
seven years ago, or in 1900, the total
was s4,717OOOO,OOO, while this year
the aggregate of 100000, 900 shows
a gain of 50, 3OO,OOO,OOO as compared
with 1900, and is almost as great as
the total value of farm products in
1890.
How can a country materially suf-
fer in its business interests with such
solid foundation of marvellous pros
perity and business expansion? New
York is at present the storm center of
bad financial condition, due in part
to the rottenness of the methods of
some financial operators in that great
world-center, in part TO the destruc-
ton Of confidence by ceaseless agita-
ton and legislation against railroads
and other corporations. 1t is true
that the depreciation in securities has
been enormous. It is true that thou
sands have lost their all by having to
sacrifice securities. But these condi-
tons do not, by any means, change
the fundamental soundness of Ameri-
can business conditions. A man who
has been forced by this financial
storm to sacrifice his securities for
far less than their intrinsic value has
