The truth is , however , that Russia Is land- poor. It has moro country than it knows what to do with , and Its llnanccs are administered - istorod In such n shiftless way thnt it runs behind million ) of dollars every year and its government aoht constantly Increases. It already owes moro thifn $2,500- 000,000 , or moro than 5,500.000,000 ruolcs , and IU paper money is worth only 50 cents on the par value of 75 coats. There Is no ffold orsllvorusca bore. All business is done In shlnplastors of from 50 cents to $1 nnd upward , and this paper money Iccep1 iluctualliiR so that a great speculation gees on In buying and soiling It. There is n.stock market nero in St. Petersburg which has nt times as lively scenes ns Wall strnot , nnd tbo Russians gamble wltn'stocics ns well ns with cards. I bad quito a sum ol English cold when I came lute Hussia some months ago , unu I have changed this from titno to tlmo Into Kusslau papor. I nm now Dotting from 10 to 15 per cent more for It than I did in the summer nnd the value of gold , has been in creasing ever since I came hero. During the time of Alexander II the pov ornmont tried to keep up the value of the Husslan paper nnd tbo Russian bonds b , Bonding gold to rcdootn them nt par when they were presented for sale In the mantel of Kuropo. This wont on for yoaw until it was found that a systematic business o buying the bonds cheap in Kussla nnd Helling thorn ir. tbo other iOuropean centers was going on nnd it was men stopped. At pres ent Hunslii has to nay 4 per cent and up ward for all tno money she borrows , nnd her attempt to got a ! ) per cent loan last year at Paris was a failure. ( fovornmciit-ltun l.iincl Itiinlc. Tlio whole empire is honeycombed with debt , nnd this is so with individuals as well as with tuo states , the villages and tao gnv- ornmont. Both nobles and peasants are loaded dow xvitb the payment of enormous rates of interest , and Hussia has moro queer money schemes und banking institutions tban wo had In America before tbo war. - Tbo government has a land bank , which loins money to.tbo . peasants in order that they way purcbato land. This bank was or ganized about ten years ago and it tnaUcs loans both to individuals nnd to villages. Tbo government puts about . ' ,500.000 into it every year , and since I IB organization it has made ever 7,000 loans to moro tban 200,000 families. About 3,000 of tbcso loans were made to villages and through this bank the peasants bnvo bought moro than 4,000,000 acres of land , upon which they still ewe about80 per cent ot tbmr indebtedness. In nddltlon to this there are various ways of loaning money to f armors and the government of Hussi.1 mil lies advances on gram stored in warehouses or delivered to the oniclalsof the railroads of the country. The treasury de partment can authorize any railway company to make such advances and the company will loan not moro than 00 per cent of the value of the gtaln dtipostted with it. It will re ceive at least B per cent in advance for this snrvico , and In audition lo this the ncasint will have to pay about a per cent per annum for a sinking luna nnd one-third of 1 per cent to the railway company for negotiating the loan. loan.Such Such loans usually run for six months and If the money is not pnld at tbo end ot tbo tlmo the grain may bo sold ut publlu auction to redeem it. Out of tbo proceeds all charges for Btoraco , expenses of sale , Interest and in debtedness must bo paid before tbo owner of the grain can receive anything , und he gets what Is loft , The oflleors of tbo railway keep tbo imperial Dank oostrd as to the amount of grain which they have on hand and thov are liable to the government for the mon'ov it loans through them to the farmers. This system of loans has been going on now for moro tban four years. It is very popular , and a great miiuy of tbo peasants take Ad vantage of It. It is no wondur tboy do so , for the chnrges ore muuh less thnn those of the usurers who abound in every district of Hus sia and who are aucklug the life blood out of tbo people. In Uio Tolls til liui UauriTS. One clns.-i ot these usurers Is luioun ns the koulaks. These nro peasants who Imvo saved n llttlo money and who lend It out at high rates to their fullcnvo. They nro worse than the nobles or tbo bunks , nnd they , togothci with tbo small snopkcopers , vo'dUa nollors and merchant ! ) practically control Uio money business of tlm smaller suttlpmouts. In toma vlllaKOs you will llnd the Jew who bus in some way crept in from Poland who is loaning money at big rates of Interest torost to peasants and who has often mart paces on nearly every available ploco lof properly In the town , ahd thouah the noml nul rates of luteroat are only < > lo l' per cent tbcso uouliiUs , merchants nnd Jovvs so ur rnnqo It that they got from 1UO lo 200 poi cent. The crops nro often inortK'igud ' bufon tboy are planted , and when the punianl is bard up In thn winter bo will miiku any isrt of an upr-'eiiuint to sell bin crops or bis inboi tor the next itummor for monov. In some provinces the land 'proprietors ad vni'co a mull sums of money on u contrac wltb a man that ho is to glvo thorn ono or lw days a weou of labor for a year in paymon for It , and the system is siicu that Instance Imvo boon known of men getting two days OSa week from a peasant for n year for about f of our money. Tbo truth of it is tba peasants are llki children. .Tho majority of them do not koV ) bow to take care of themselves. Thov do I0t see beyond tbo day , and they are willing ti promise anything for money. Tbuso tcouuk nro the worst sot of usurers lu the world They constitute lost than 0 per cunt of tin population and many of them bavq yrowi HHlto wealthy. Originally poor , they ar iictjuutiitril with all the trlous of thn peas anis , ur.d.it.ev know how to grind them dowi to tbo lowest , point , iina they usually prefo payment In labor rather tban In money. Tb wages in Hussia nro so low that it U linposs ! „ bio for a peasant ever to iot ; much irene ahead , ntidjij | laoor and hi& crop are all tlm' bo has to mnrtgaxe. Just now , on account of the recent fatnln t and the vast loss iu tbo sbupaof cattle nd borcs , the peasants bavo become moro i debt than ever and Ihohunatcdsof millions r dollars wblch the Kovornmoit | bos loaned t tUo village * on account of tha famine bn . .rondo tbo Husslan peasant the poorest ma in the world. Ko one In Hussiu ontsldo c the poascuts sees bow tboy cau pomibl 'repay the government for this famine mono ' and no ope expect * it. 'Tbo czar wllljirol obljr foririvo tbo debt louie tlmo iu tb filt'ure , when bo wisuos to bo c peci ll l gracious to'tho people , and uoveral Utmlu tatc mon bavo told me that tbo only reave why tbo money was uot lron outnirbt wi boctuio duob a gift would Und to make it Russian * n nation nf puilpors nnrt to can so the peasants not , to work nt nil , on the HUMS thnt lha government and the cznr would not lot thorn Jtarvo. Ititslnn Nobility I'oornnd Dcbt-I.n.iilrd. The nobility of Ktmln grow poorer every ycnr , nnd thcro is n bunk hero iitulor the government which was organized to lend inoiioy to the nobles upon mortrago * on their land. The loans of ttils Dank already amount to moro than f : > 0,000OJO , nml n number of estates Imvo bean sold under foreclosures of mortgages by It. Not long ngo It wn snld thnt 3.000 estates were mlvortlsrd for snlo \ > r this bank ot the nobility , nml the Urpo estates wblch used to prevail In Ktmln nro fast being divided up by debt and high In terest. The nobles know llttlo moro thnn the pens- nnls nbout taking cnro of their property , nnd they nro moro oxtrnvngf.nl nnd IHSS careful of miking both ends tncot. Itoloro serfdom was abolished tbov baa more than tboy could snend , aud now when they hnva to rely upon tholr OH n Drains to ronko up for tbo loss of the land , which was sold to the peasants , they llnd themselves poor. There nrc n largo number of private banks In addition to these government ban KB , and these , 1 ntn told , nro making money , nnd they nro paying dividends of from ( J to Jfi nor cent annually. Tbcso banks came Into cxlstcnco nbout the time thnt the serfs were f rood , unu there vcro no bauds to speak of In Russia outsldo of thu government banks bcfuro ISO I. Uussln U just learning ivlmt banking moans , and before this tlmo the "Hank of tha Stato" did all the business of the ctnpiro. It tnid n capital of loss than 3,1)00,000 ) und Us private deposits were over ? l'.I3OuO,000. As sooii ns the private banks began to boestnb- llshcd the money In circulation In Uussln In creased nnd In about ton years the deposits doubled and banking capital Increased ten fold. Loans nnd discounts were thun used largely for business purposes and now money is turned ever ns rapidly hero In KUHMH a * anywhere almost In tbo world. The Russian National bank or Uank of Russia Usuos In the uciehbnrhood of $400- OO'.t.OOO ' of paper nnd It lias moro thnn f 100- OOJ.OUO of ussots. Its original capital was only nbout SIL'.OOO.OOO. but Hi business amounts to $ J : > 0,000,000 every year nnd It has deposits In trust uinountine to more than fiuO,000,000. It Is tlio bank through which nil tbo croat government operations go on and the treasury department leaves deposits ot fiu.OOO.UOO and upward almost constantly with It. Not long nco the ministry of flnanco or- canlzod a system of savlncs banks hero ana there uro now moro tbnn MM of these nnd their deposits nro increasing right along until they ncnv amount to moio than $1)0.- ) 000,000. lluslnei * Conducted on u Credit llasis. A largo uart ot tbo business of Russia is based upon credit , but very llttlo buying is done b\ ' check , and thi man with bis bank account draws bis inonov and pays his bills In it rattier than with Ills checkbook. The merchants , as a rule , give long credit und the retailers buying bills of goods usually glvo no notes mull nluo months after tbo saleAt the end of nlno months it Is cus tomary to BIVO a note or draft , pavablo at ninety days' slcbt nnd nn extension is often " ' asltctl. fully "ouo-half of al ! tbo business done is on credit and tiasn buyers In the wholesale trade cot from 'J to 5 per cent dis count. The retail trade of nearly all the cities of Russia Is carried on on a cash basis and the poorer classes nro always compelled to pay cash. Tbo nobility are usually nlloxved to run accounts and If ono tins real cstato there is not much trouble in getting credit. ] am told that thcro are few houses in tit. Petersburg or Moscow which are not or have not been mortgaged , und I find very fair bunking institutions in all of these larg est Russian cities , which seem to bo doing very will. W < i bavo a consul at Moscow who das one of the largest banks of the city una who has inado u fortune In showing tucsa Russians how to lend monoy. tic is of Jew ish extraction nnd bo bud expcrlcnca with some of tbo larcost banking houses of Europe before bo came to Russia. Ho is worth , I am told , several millions ot dollars and ho bas made tbo bulk of his fortune in Russia. His business establishment is on the bccood Moor of ono of tbo largo houses of that city , and it will bo surprising to Ameri cans to know that most of tno banks or Rus sia are upstairs. You Una uonoy changers on tbo cround floor , but many of tbo big bunking establish ments have no signs of nny slzo , and you enter them moro Ilka a private bouso thun n business establishment. It is not tbo easiest matter to get money out of them. Tbo Rus sian is naturally suspicious , and vou have to bavo tbo proper moans ol ideutlriciuioii or tbo police is called in ana your record is looked up. It takes about a day for a stranger to gut a check cashed at a'country bank , and churgos nro mada for everything. In figuring up tnaumountduo you in chance tbo banker will use a little box of buttons strung on vrircs Instead ot calculating by figure' , una bo adds and subtracts , multi plies and divides rather as tbo Chinese do than tbo Europeans. Tnoro are puwnbrokmg shops in all the towns. Tnoso are licensed by tbo govern ment , and tbo pawnbrokers bavo to make largo deposits and pay well for tbo privilege. lion- the Kuiiluns urn Taxed. Speaking of the imperial bank , It is inter esting to note how this Immense sum of nearly SliOl'.OOO.OOO worth of taxes is collected ovorv year and wboro it comes from. This Is n big country , but the revenue would , If divided among tbo Russian people , amount to Si'i a family , nnd the expenditures of the govern mont are enormous The emperor , in addition to bis largo pri vate rortuno , bus practically the control of nil the revenues of tbo omplro and bis word U law as to tbo disbursement of thi ? vast sum. lie has a big organization under him nnd bo bus bis cabinet just at our president bus. The vast empire is divided up into provinces or staleseach of wblcb has its gov ernor , who rules the state much as our gov ernors do , but who Is appointed by the em peror. Every btato is divided up into districts und every district into towns nnd villages and there uroolcotlvc assemblies in the towns , counties and states , which have much to say as to the distribution of tbo taxus , nnd every village decides just how much each of its members shall pay of tbo land taxes. The peasants now uay nbout $2 a head for their adult male population and they pay moro than f50,000,000 of direct taxes every your. The bullc of the revenue , however , is col lected In indirect taxes , and Russia has a higher wnll of protection about it thun the United Suites. All sorts of imports mo taxed ana tboro is a revcnuo tux on sulnts Which amounts to * iiO,000,000 : a your , and the passport taxes amount to something ilka , $10,1)00,000. ) Nearly everything audur the , , sun H tuxed and the tax list is gruutar tban - ours was during tbo worst part of the civil l- war. You have to pay a tax to carrv on any kind of a business bore , ana a clerk in a store - is taxed for the privilege of clerking.
