D C- ' In th s genera ■lon in the United Scales t was the law to imprison for cleht. about half of the American people doubtless would be ir tall, for the persoral indebtedness of the people of this country probably is greater than :1.. jf any nation in the world. Persona! indebtedness, as a matter of course is sum thing new and ‘ypeally Amer can. It is only in modern times 'hat it has been possible for the rank and tile of the people to be constantly in debt and keep out of trouble, in fact only a little while ago. and to this day in many countries to be in debt s t. tie in troub'e. American I esiness has popular zed indebtedness and has madj the owin. of money a matter of routine rather than ad sgraee It Is estimated that the personal in debted! ess id the American people is in evetss of $53 0(10,000,000. This is approx mutely $330 for each man wo man an a child in the nation- If you add to thin the nat oea: debt, that is, each I 1 dividual's shute of the federal gov e nn ent. the figures is Increased to $764 pe * capita or $76,426,623,000 in the aggregate. In .all probability the figures which it is at all posslb'e to estimate fall far below the actual sums owed by Amer ican.'. Ho vast and intricate is the network of Amer can life that it is out of the question to attempt any exact statement. One or two groups are ascerta 'nable For instance the figures show definite ly that tile American people owe fo the banks of the country the ltuge sum of $27,666 823.000 This is about equal to, in fact a little in excess of the national debt. Of this $lO 977,614 000 is owed to the national hanks and the remaining $16,689 209.000 to state banks, trust companies mutual savings banks and private banks. Personal Debts. The most difficult to estimate is the ' group of debts of a personal character, ) and it is this group that has introduced personal indebtedness in tile United States on such a large scale. This re fers to the store credit particularly to the Installment plan of store credit by which the purchaser can obtain a com modity and have a long period in which j to pay for t. It tvaH only in the last generation that this sort of credit was practically unheard of. It is a usual thing now for a housewife to enter a store and make a purchase and glibly say "Charge it," ard go home secure in the knowledge j that in all probability, the purcrase will i be delivered before she her self arrives home. Not long ago no merchant would Urpam of such a transaction un less the customer was an old friend or an old and highly valued cutomer. This works both ways, this increase of confidence in retail trade. A house- ' wife goes into a store, makes a pur- ] chase and pays cash for it. She tells the clerk to have the goods delivered and then walks out of the store. She has parted with her cash and has noth ing to show for it. It is in the memory of our fathers or at least our grand- I fathers when no one in his right mind would do anything of the sort With | one hund the purchaser would offer th„ money and with the other grasp the purchase. One who paid his money l without obtaining physical possession Of the goods would be regarded as a gullible simpleton. A. T. Stewart, the great New York merchant probably was the first to in troduce the system of delivery. At its beginning people were certain there was some trick in it and would not trust the store to make the delivery. "No, sir. That clerk will put the money in his pocket and I 11 never see it j again, or I'll never see the goods again, • or I'll never see the goods I bought " That was the attitude of the public, and it took years to educate the pur chaser that delivery would be made honestly without substitution or fraud. The Dollar Down Plans The next step In advert!® ng was the installment plan of paying for pur chases. “One dollar down and a dollar the rest of your life." as the humorists express it. At first this system encoun- j teeed the same aort of skepticism from i the other side as the prepaid deitvery j system Merchants said they would I not consider letting valuable goods leave their store on the chance of col- > lecting for it some day. Hut the pin- 1 neers persisted In the practice, and. | getting most of the trade, drove the others to accept it. The plan vastly increased the buying j power of poor people. Also, it assiste . j them to save. Those who could not I pile up the pennies' into a hoard which ' would buy anew dining room suite j could pay a few dollars a week. The in- | stallment plan has extended to almost every bne of trade. It is estimated that if every family in the United States j was buying something on the install- Lent plan, and a surprisingly large proportion Is doing so. it would be found that each of them is paying an aggregate of $5 a week. There are 20 - 000,000 families in the country Tak ing everything from books and diamond rings to furniture and automobiles, it takes an average of Hfty weeks to pay out installments on a purchase. This means that 20.000.000 families are ob ligated to pay *5 a week for thirty weeks. This makes a total of install ment indebtedness of J 5.000.000 COO. Many of these families could at any time pay off their entire indebtedness but most of them could not. Literally millions of families are using furniture, wearing clothes. Jewelry, reading hooks playing pianos and other musical in struments and riding in automobiles for which they ar. paying on the install ment plan Food bills are another large item. It is estimated that every American fam 'y owes constantly a food h'll amount, ing to S2O. This includes the grocery' hill the meat bill, the milk bill the bread hill and a score of others. Of course these hill are settled weekly or monthly and anew account is begun, hut there is an average constant tn ieldedn ... of sliii,ooo 000 for tin na- Inn In the past vojtr or two even the bootleggers have been running ojien •ccounts w'th their customers mad"ng eeii'ar > varies and collecting weekly or monthly. Farm Mortgag“s. Farm mortgages constitute another big tern. Official figures cctmd'ed by ‘lie Dcp-rinieut of \grlcu t tire show that Amentn farmers owe $‘‘.636 866,. 600 on mortgages- Tills al‘ figures into the total of in lehteds and further exemplifies the wide exlensiO if ced t. A still larger item is t • t vr:gage debt on the homes of the people in cities and towns. The census bureau gives tile total of mortgages on owned homes as $6,000 000 100. This rda es >rly to tile houses vvh eh u e owned by the people who live in them No cen sus figures have been made to show the amount of mortgage debt which land lords have placed on dwellings, apart ment houses and tenements Probably the sum is vastly greater than the sum of aggregate mortgages on owned homes but to be conservative it may be p’aeed at the same figure $6,000,- 000.000 or a total of sl2 000,000.000 on dwellings. In this installment age many small houses and lots, particularly vacant tots sold to nersons Intending to build are vended on land contracts. No mort. gape is given in such a transaction the purchaser mak'ng monthly payments until the purchase price is met, where upon hi* receives if deed. It is esti mated that indebtedness of this char acter reaches a total of one million dol lars at least. These figures Hhow what the genera' public owes as a matter of every-day life. If the bonds of all the railroads, steamship companies, telegraph and telephone companies, mines, steel mills and the thousand and one .other Indus, tries of the country were added, they would make a total running into the billions.
