superior credit OF the United States will do the
rest.
The result practically to the United States
is SO far the assured saving of one per cent on
at least two hundred millions of dollars for ten
years to come, making an economy of two mil
lions per annum or twenty millions for the ten
years, and 80 much more as shall arise from
compounding of the annual instalments mean
time-in all Of which consideration we are
acting on the hypothesis that the national
banks will instantly fall into line as subscribers
for so much of the FIVE per cents as Is yet at
their option. Our people are generous and
liberal in their financial ideas, and, in view of
the great result accomplished, will readily
yield the commissions and charges accruing to
the Syndicate, provided there is no exceeding
the terms fixed by the law. The success
so far of the loan occasions only one regret
viz, that uniform long bond had not been
originally provided for by the Refunding act,
into which the whole debt might have been
transformed. Should the refunding process
come to halt when, in the future, Mr. Boutwell,
offers the remainder of his five per cents in
connection with the four and half and four
per cents, we trust the next Congress will be
equal to the exigency. The rate of interest
does not represent the value of money for
employment 80 much as the risk the lender
takes in lending it. Both these considerations
enter into the matter. In fact, the value of
money and the risk of 1t are always the
supplements of each other in every interest
rate. The risk being minimized in the case

Of so prosperous country to meet its every OBJ

by us at the lowest possible rate it commands
for it's simple use. 1t is in view of these cir
cumstances that we reterate our oft-expressed
belief in the capacity of the government to
convert the whole debt into loan bearing no
higher interest than the facile rate of 3.65 per
cent per annum, if not as low rate as Great
Britain pays upon the enormous consolidated
debt resulting from her centuries of wars.

India Cashmere shaWIs.

The first shawls manufactured in In
dia were made of camel's hair, but for
many years the wool from the cashmere
goat has only been used. These AMI
mails are natives of Thibet, and at
tempts to raise them elsewhere have
been failures. For several centuries the
people of India guarded the secret of
making these famous shawls, and the
Government forbade the sale of them
to foreigners. "The goats hair is quite
silky, quite straight, and of brown
shade. It is sent from Thibet to Cash
mere, distance of one months jour
ney. 1t is there bleached with mix
ture composed principally of rice -four,
and when perfectly white, carefully
spun into threads. and dyed of various
colors, embracing all their shades and
tints. The dyes used excel anything Of
their kind in their peculiar richness
and durability. The finest wool is
from the inner coat of the goat, and is
only used in the manufacture of the
most elegant and costly garments. The
process of weaving is exceedingly slow
and quite novel III its execution. A
single shawl is composed of many
pieces, each one is woven separately.
Their sizes vary; the smallest one
about an eight of an inch, and the larg-
est not over half square yard. A
shawl that would employ ten weavers
five years to make it has from five hun
bred to two thousand pieces in it The
warp is placed in small frames the
patterns are drawn out on paper, and
colored yarns wound on small bobbins,
which are held in the hollow of the
hands. 1t requires as many yarns IN
the weft as there are colors in the pat
tern, which are worked on the warp
with small pins { sort of wooden nee
dles) The right side is the under one
upon the frame, and it is not seen by
weaver until the pattren is finished. An
inch square piece IS considered good
days work. The weaving is very com
