Ex Commissioner David A. Wells writes
an interesting letter TO the New York AGtIe1.
on the prospective rate Of interest IL this
country for the next quarter-century. Mr..
Wells considers that the rate Of interest de-
ponds on four condIri0ns-l, the productive
ness Of labor; ., the supply Of capital 3,
tie degree Of risk in loans; l. the state Of
the currency. For the next generation, al
least. the fertile land Of the United States
cannot be wholly occupied; and there can
be DO sensible decline in the productivclcss
Of labor, OF IL the demand ior capital AZ
for the further supply Of capital, It Is ey.-
Gent that there can be no accumulation OF 1t
il TINS country beyond the immediate wants
Of our Own people. Earope IL now lending
money 10 iis ovn Peoples, on advanced rGtes
Of interest and there is no reason TO believe
that the supply Of capital from that source
viii be sufficient TO lower the present rate Of
interest here during the next generation.
The limited success Of the I've ger cent loan
elbows that capital nov commands a higher
rate, and speculative investment threatens to
keep the market active and unstable. Mr..
Wells quotes with approval Mr. Amasa
Walkers remark that the wide fuctua;ion,
in the rate Of interest, which are due to the
use Of currency made up largely Of credit,
may be expected to increase in violence and
frequency hereafter, as the " mixed currency
