ONE CHEF CAUSE OF EMHAR-
EASEMENT.

We are very glad to sec that our
effort to open peoples eyes to the
consuming power of extravagant in
terest is bearing its fruit. Among
other evidences we notice a little
paragraph going the rounds of the
press from a Massachusetts register
bankruptcy, who has evidently
studied our little table of the accu-
mutations of one dollar placed at in
terest at different rates for one hun
dred years. We wish registers-in-
bankruptcy everywhere would study
tie same table with equal effect and
help us keep the results before the
people. The paragraph referred to
is as follows:
"Mr. Register : in : Bankruptcy
Noyes, of Boston, holds that one Of
the causes of bankruptcy is, that so
few persons properly estimate the
difference between a high and low
rate of interest, and therefore often
borrow money at so ruinous a rate
that no Legitimate business can stand
it. But few have figured on the diff
ference between six and eight per
cent. One dollar loaned for one hun
bred years at six per cent, with in
terest collected annually and added
to the principal, will amount to $40.
At eight per cent. it will amount to
So, 203, or nearly seven times as much.
At three per cent, the usual rate OF
interest in England, it amounts to
1925, whereas at ten per cent, the
usual rate in the United States, it is
$13, 800, or nearly one thousand
times greater. At twelve per cent.
it amounts to $S4,O95, or more than
four thousand times as much. AT
twenty-five per cent, (which we
sometimes hear talked of it reaches
the enormous sum of So, 551, 699, 404."
If the National Banks charge the
people 10 per cent. on well secured
loans, and that the people pay in the
shape of taxes from 6 to Z $40 pei
cent. on the bonds upon which their
circulation is based, how can great
business houses help going to meet
Sherman's band. No healthy bust
ness can stand the strain. Then the
Government taxes the banks and
they are compelled to cut their own

of the people. There will be deyel.
opments before long which will show
our people how the Banks do bust

be astonished at the Book of Revela.
tions which will be opened. We
venture to say there is not q Nation
al Bank east or west, which has not
lived in open violation of its char
ter-and which has not actually
placed itself at the mercy Of its own
debtors to an extent which should
promptly wind up such a system,
and which, if we may credit daily
commercial reports, is fast working
to that end. Thank heaven, the end
approaches, and we hope the day is
not far distant when the present fl
nancial system, which has only op,
pressed labor and enterprise, will be
numbered among the experiences Of
the past. The failures among the
bankers indicate that a halt must be
called. Their best capital is conf.
dence, and that once gone they may
as well close their doors. No bust
ness can stand such rates of inter,
est. 1t is a clear case of over pro
duction of interest.
