Cotton, the great product of the South, has been put on the list of dutiable articles by the sen ate. Pendleton expects to have W. J. Bryan to address the people of that place at some time during his stay in Oregon. Max Pbacht has been appointed special agent of the general land office. Max fell down on his Alaskan proposition. JoHtyMiEits has been removed by Mayor Pennoyer as chief of po lice of Portland. P. J. Barry was appointed to succed Mr. Myers. Toe republican senators at Washington have requested an in vestigation of the newspaper charg es that the sugar trust has con trolled the formation of the tariff bill. It will probably end just as other similar investigations. The people of the United States are going to domand that no eva sions of the promises in the re publican platform bo made.

The latter will not meet with much favor at the hands o national banks and less from pat rons on whom the burden will eventually fall, but it is as just as a tax on toa, coffee or sugar.

The Interest Barometer. It will pay silverites who want oheap money tout la, money at low rates or interest to study the rates of interest obarged in gold and silver standard countries and to compare the average rates of interest on certain classes of loans in sound money states, whiob never favor repudiation, and in states which favor free coinage and which sometimes favor repudiation of debts. It is difficult to get exact figures of in terest rates in different states and coun tries, but the statistics obtainable are not favorable for the farmer who votes for free silver with the expectation that it would enable bim to borrow money at low rates of interest. Aocording to the last census, the average rate of interest on farm mort gages in 1890 was 7.86 per cent. The rate has undoubtedly declined since then, except, perhaps, in certain states which are voting and legislating against capital. The rate is also higher than that on most other olasses of securities. It is probable that the average rate of interest in this oountry is now consider able less than 6 per cent. In England, Franco, Germany and many other gold standard countries it is undoubtedly less than 6 per cent. We have, however, put the rate on the barometer at 6 per cent. In Mexico, Central and South Amer ican countries and in most other conn' tries on a silver basis the rates of inter est will probably average more rather than less than 10 per cent. Statistics on ordinary loans on farm mortgages are not available for comparison in these countries. Perhaps the best available 'sty "2, v. Jim nt AfMIWTIlirC 6 7 T 1 Ty 12. O 'a: ,Q u 7. B. 5. 3 2 I I are those prepared by Professor Irving Fisher and published in August, 1896 by the American Economic association, These show only market or bank rates of interest in London, Berlin, Paris, New York, Calcutta, Tokyo and Shang hai for a series of years, and of course these are far below the average rates. Professor Fisher finds that the average was 8.3 per tint in thVlour go1dsta?iiP ard countries aud 10.1 per cent in the three silver standard countries. In sil ver standard countries the rate had f ullcn out little, the average for 1870-4 being 10. 7 per cent. In gold standard coun tries tne rate nau lauen over as per cent, or from 5.2 in 1870-4. These facts tend to show that there is some good reason wby interest is lower in gold standard countries. They are confirmed by the further facts that many large loans and some small ones made in sil ver standard countries are made pay able in gold and at rates of interest far below those prevailing. One of the al leged reasons why Japan has changed from a silver to a gold basis is to obtain lower rates of interest on loans which she wished to negotiate.

New York World. PER CAPITA MONEY. DO PRICES DEPEND UPON AMOUNT OR UPON KIND OF MONEY? Facto Which Will Help to Dispel the "More Money" Delusion Some Posers For the Sllyerite Professors Who Are Conducting- the "National Financial School" Why Are Prices Hlg-h and Per Capita Money Low In Silver Standard Countries? Should Deposits In Banks Be Included In Estimating- Amount of Money Which Affects Prices? One of tbe numerous fallacies upon which the free silver delusion is found ed is the assumption by all sil ver i tea and cheap money advocates that prices are regulated by the amount of money in circulation and that there is any neo- essary relation between prices and amount of money. When driven from one position, the bimetallists take ref uge in another just as insecure and il logical, but perhaps a little more hid den by sophistry. The more enlighten ed among them do not now assert that to double the amount of money is to double prices, They generally admit that the rapidity of circulation and the use of credits affects the efficiency of money and prevents an exact statement of the relation between amount of mon ey and goods, but that more money un doubtedly means higher prices, and vice versa. The per capita idea of money so prev alent with silveritea is disproved in many ways. Statistics of prices and amount of money per capita in use in different countries at the same or at different times fail to show any cer tain relation between prices and money, Thus, while prices have declined in the world and in this country very greatly since 1800 or 1853 or 1873, the amount of money in use has increased enor monsly. From a per capita circulation of $4.99 in 1800, $14.63 in 1863 and $18.19 in 1873 we now have one of $23 and this notwithstanding the greater rapidity of circulation of modern dol lars and the vastly improved and ex tended use of credits. Will some more money" advocate please explain this great fall of prices in connection with the great increase in per capita money? 'Again, the per capita circulation of the gold standard countries of tbe world is about $18; that of the silver stand ard countries only about $4.80. Will some of the silverite professors wbo are conducting "financial schools" in west ern and southwestern states explain to their classes why prices in silvor stand ard countries are about twice as high as in gold standard countries, although the per capita circulation is less than one-third as great? Will tbey explain that the value of the material from which money is made has much more to do with prices than the amount of es that gold has always been more val uable, weight for weight, than silver, and that it has recently become 83 times as valuable while most of the coining ratios of the world were established when gold was only 15 or 16 times as valuable as silver? Will tbey then ex Iglain that the value of both gold and silver bullion is fixed in the long run Dy tne cost or production and that there fore the value of bullion does not de pend upon tbe quantity of money in cir- cuiauonr Will they try to make It clear that if it takes five hours of labor to produce a bushel of wheat and five hours of labor to produce 3. 83 grains or gom one product will exchange for the other that is, the price of wheat will be $1 per bushel under our present standard 7 VMU they then add that if requires only 3, hours' work to pro duce enough silver (871 i grains) to make a dollar that tbe bushel of wheat will not exchange for less than two ail J., 11 . Ai . . vt-r uuuara, ana mat mis is tbe reason why prices are higher in silver standard countries? Will they explain the origl nai "American financial policy." which was to keep the coinage ratio as close as possible to the market ratio? Will they ask the members of their classes to vote to restore this "thoroughly Amer ican nuanciai policy?' If the corps of silver professors sn luuBp money statesmen wno are con ducting tbe "national financial school tail to answer the preceding questions. pernaps tuey are willing to explai what kinds of money are included i making up the amount of money which affects prices. Dors it include all kinds of government or state paper money, as wen as goia, sliver and copper coins? Does It Include bank notes, which form a considerable proportion of our present circuiaring meiiiuml If you includ government and bank notes, wby not include Dana credits? Are not more ex changes and greater exchanges effected by means of checks than by means of cither papur money or coins? Is It not as easy for one who has "credit" (de posits) in a bank to buy and sell as lie bad money in bis noi ket? Do these credits or deposits necessarily consist of money at aU7 II a man has that amount of property, can be not have $1,090,000 cretin witn bis bank on which to draw checks at any time? Cannot such a man buy and sell on a large scale without tne use of ordiuary money? Why, then aiiouui Dank deptwita not be inrluded I making up the p. r capita circulation of a country? hn the classra of the "natiosal nnanelal school" can pass an examina tion on these "per capita" questions, we mill prepare a set of questions on other subjects, ss, for iustance, the reuse of high and low inter wit rates, tbe advan tagea of high prices, the blessings of cneap money, etc. Uyron W.
