Picitirs Tor business increase; but will the

Will aid in the restoration Of hope or the
substitution Of that for the despair that

apparent to my mind that the passage OF
AIGW prohibiting, under the most severe
TsaaltIe4, all national banks from paying
Interest On deposits Of any character,
would DO more good. have seen many
useful articles in your paper illustrating
The evil ttIects Of II high rate Of interest

cannot hope Tor any degree OF remedy
