American Loans Abroad.

The following facts are substantiation of the only correct prophecy Mr. Bryan ever made. He once said we were going to quit borrowing money in Europe. He was not wholly correct, for he thought it was to be accomplished with the making, of cheap money. Experience develops that he could have gone farther, for now we are loaning money. Here are some of the big loans made this year: Feb. 28, Russian trans-Siberian loan, $30,000,000. March 9, British consul loans, $lO,000,000. March 16, loan to Bank of France, $15,000,000. •Tune 3. Mexican refunding loan, $115,000,000. Aug. 4, British exchequer loan, $28,000.000. Sept. 14. German loan, $20,000,000. total, $218,000,000.
