long as the rate can be kept ct or below per
cent the government can borrow at per cent oil
the money il requires--that is TO say, so long as
capitalists continue to have faith in the wisdom
and integrity OF the federal administration and in
their ability to bring the war to successful ter
nination. To say that the rate Of interest will be
kept at a very low point BY the continued issue Of
legal tender notes is simply to say that Congress
and the administration arc endowed with common
sense. Any circumstance or combination OF cir.
cuinstances that should retard the sale Of govern
lneut bonds would render demand notes the sole
means OF prosecuting the war, and the question Of
the country's powers of absorption would be put
to 4 thorough and perhaps q perilous test But
the truth is that there Is scarcely any limit what.
ever to our capacity In this respect, as in case OF
IN excessive issue Of paper, the equilibrium
would be maintained by the increased price
Of labor and Of nearly every species Of
property, including gold, real estate, agricul.
tural produce and dividend paying securities The
prospect Is that SO long as the war lasts the go.
vernment will remain borrower, and, for the pur.
pose Of securing loans AZ moderate rates, will re.
tain control Of the money market through issues

terest between three and six per cent. An occa-
sional reverse TO our arms may shake the faith Of
the timid, aud cause momcntary decline in
prices and some activity in the money market;
but 80 long a. the war continues, and the ex.
pensc OF il continues to he betrayed by the policy
now pursued whether IL be well OF III conducted,
