The Brooklyn Kaglc of a recent date
gives N'eb.-aska a great advertisement
in an interview with lien t'harle* K.
Mamlerson. who is making a brief
slay in Brooklyn a* the guest of Mr*.
Camden C. Hike. 11>4 Columbia heights.
An Kugle reporter called upon the
genera) and asked him to talk concern
ing business conditions in the far west.
Cen Mamlerson said:
The period of finaneial depression
and commercial disasters Is fust pass
ing away in the western states. e*|ic
c ally so in the great agricultural
section comprising the states of Iowa.
Kansas. Nebraska. Missouri and the
two Ihikotas. The great commercial
crisis of 1*01 w ith its deplorable finan
cial condition* w a* felt more severely
in the west than in the east, and it*
disasters were emphasised by the crop
failure of tlie years of 1S1M and l*l*.V
The small amount produced in those
years w as marketed at ruinously low
prices and the debtor classes whose
debts were maturing suffered severely.
The year gf ls'.ai was one of compar
ative agricultural plenty, and although
prices ranged low the great crops of
that year brought money into the
hands of the producer* and g«s*l effect
lias been show n in restored confidence,
improved business and liquidation of
indebtedness. What g<»*l crops mean
will Ik- apparent from the statement
that in IfWt the crop of corn in Ne
braska alone was over .100.01*1,01*1
bushels, worth in the market when
sold as a product, or transmuted by
feeding into cattle, hogs and sheep,
about |<M>.000,000 to970.OOP.OOP. i believe
it is a safe an.I conservative estimate
to say that the agricultural products of
Nebraska alone in the year l**.*fi were
worth El7i.0PP.0ttP. or considerably
over #10P per capita. 1 read a report
paid off between g.WOOO.Oitt and fjn,
000.(0(1 of its mortgage indebtedness
I do not think this an exaggeration
I do not think the crop of 1SV7 will
be less than last year. Indeed, the
prospect is that it w ill be much larger
The small grains are being harvested
and can be deemed secure The acre
age i* very large and the yield abund
ant. The corn never looked better in
any July in my thirty years in the
west, and all the signs of the times are
favorable and evidence that prosperity
has returned to bless us. It has come,
and will, I believe, remain from natu
ral causes, and not as the result of po
litical and legislative action (•>»*!
Ians are undoubtedly lenefieial an l
bad ones injurious, but substantial
prosperity cannot be enacted by law.
Value cannot be legislated, but mu*t
be produced, and the west is producing
value by the best possible methods—
the cultivation of the soil under favor
able climatic condition*.
Are the western cities and railroads
showing evidences of improvement *
Decidedly ao. The commercial j
banks are* in better condition than at
any time since 1*Ileal estate is
firmer in the town*, more building in
targe cities like St. Paul. Minneapolis.
Kansas City and Omaha than at any
rime during the last four years, and
both wholesale and retail dealer* are
reporting improves! trade. The com
mercial traveler is again largely in ev
idence. His occupation seemed to be
gone in l*#t-W. for hi* employer had
called him “off the road." The move
ment of the great crop* has given
business to the railroads, which mean*
the active use of idle cars and the em
ployment of idle men. The increased
value of stocks has the substantia! ba
sis of increased earning*. If the bears
of the stock market firing down the
figure* it will be from some baseless
war scare or some sensational canard.
