Washington special to the Pioneer Press
says that the President will sign the amended
sixth section of the army bill, if presented to
him in the shape given it by the Democratic
caucus. He can we'll enough sign the bill
without failing in his constitutional duty as
its substance is not particularly Objectionable ;
but he cannot afford to concede his signat ure
to any threat on the part of the Democratic
caucus, expressed or implied.-Pioneer Press,
Moy 6.
Is it possible that the Pioneer Press
has already reached its dotase? We
understand from the above that the
Pioneer Press would consider it advis~
able for the President to veto the bill,
if it passes, and to state in his veto
message that the bill is not "particu>
larly Objectionable" but that he be-
lieves that threat was implied by
the proceedings Of the Democratic
caucus while the caucus was in secret
session. It seems to us that common
sense and the best judgment of all po-
litical parties dictates that when the
bill is passed in such form that the
President can find nothing that he
considers Objectionable in it, he should
withhold his signature no longer.

gauge to 1 meter (3 feet 81 inches),
and in some instances even to rs CEN
timeters, 1 ia meter (2fset 6 6inchcs),
whereas in England q 8 foot gauge is
preferred. They advise the dlspens>
ing with fences except at especially
dangerous points and near dwellings ];
that the stations should consist merely
Of a waiting room, ticket Office, and
station masters lodgings that the cars
should be of two classes, with possibly
an upper story; that they should be
without useless ornameDtation and
that the rolling stock should be at a
mlnimum-in fact, that everything
should be arranged with a view to
strict economy. Under these condl~
tlons they estimate the cost of the
roads, per mile, at an average ofabout
VIZ. 900. They put the average speed
at from 9.3 to 1914 miles an hour.
The subject of narrow gauge railways
is now one of the most interesting in
the whole range Of railway questions,
and it is we'll worth careful thought
and study. During the last few years
they have been built more or less ex-
tensively here and abroad, and they
are likely to come into still greater
use, as being cheaper in construction
and in working, especially in new
c0untries

Compound Interest.

It is an old and true saying that there
are few kinds of business that can be
permanently maintained; where ten per
cent interest is paid annually on the cap
ital invested. Thisq uestion of interest is
one which does not receive the attention
that it should. People give their notes
readily, agreeing to pay ten or twelve
per cent per annum, and regarding the
interest as of little consequence. Many
people expressed surprise that synd1>
cate of only sixteen New York and Bos-
ton banks could subscribe $3.50, ,OO0, 600
at one time on the recent sale of govern
tnent four per cents, but when considera-
ton is taken Of the large increase that
interest gives, 1t is not astonishing that
the bankers have gained possession Of
such enormous sums. Money lenders
have heretofore expected, until quite res
Gently, to clear at least seven per cent
per annum on loans. At this rate the
principal would double in about ten
years, BY adding the interest to the prin=
cipal at the end Of each year. Now, if
a bank, loans the comparatively small
sum of one million, dollars at this rate,
and keeps the loan out for q hundred
years, the principal viii double ten times

Of settlers on the "Brainerd Branch"

the REIMBURSEMENT by the Governor

with the following result In ten years
the sum will amount to 2 million dollars,
In twenty years to 4 million, in thirty
years to g. million, in forty years to Is
million, in fifty years to 81 million, in
sixty years to GA million, in seventy years
1928 million, in eighty years to 256 mil
lion, in ninety years to 5l2 million, in
one hundred years to one billion and
twenty-four million dollars, and in an
other hundred years would largely ex-
ceed the entire value of the planet, But
we know a good many, people who are
paying ten per cent per annum for mon
ey and now let US see what an expensive
luxury money borrowed at this rate
would be, if the interest were added am
nually to the principal for 1os years.
The principal would double fourteen
times, and if it was the moderate sum of
one thousand dollars in the beginning, it
would amount to sixteen million and
three hundred and eighty~four thousand
dollars at the end of that time, The on
~ waylto prevent interest from becom>
ing burden that can never be paid is TO-
pay it promptly as soon as due. It is
like fire consuming building, which
can be quenched only in the beginning,
and if it is allowed to gain much head
way the building can not be saved. It is
like an enemy to whom it is not safe to
allow any advantage. The curious re-
suits of keeping money loaned at COM
pound interest for long period of time
have frequently been explained by news
paper writer's and others, but we consid~
er the subject worthy of more attention
than it receives, especially in this part of
the country, where people of small means
generally have strong tendency to run
in debt and allow the interest to con-
sumo their incomes. Is it any wonder,
considering themarvelous capacity of in
terest to eat the profit out of every trans.
action done on borrowed capital, and in
view of the financial policy Of the gov
ernment being directly in the interest
of the wealthy money lenders, that in>
dusty is depressed, labor starving, and
that the wealthy money lenders are abb
sorblng everything? And is any Won
der that the Industrious farmer who is
unwise enough to mortgage his farm to
borrow money, or to run heavily in debt
for any purpose, finds that his industry
is robbed of its reward, that his economy
loses its desired effect, and that his plans
do not reach successful issue.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM IN A
NUTSHELL.

The Republican platform adopted
at their State Convention last week,
in Cincinnati, affirms that the party
believes in free suffrage; calls the
Democrats mad; supports Hayes
~yetoes of the appropriation bills; de
nounces the Democratic majority in
Congress because they are agitating
hostility to the Republican sham
specie resumption and tampering
with their financial schemes gener-
ally; they give a vote of thanks to
John Sherman for opening his eyes
to the fact that he could sell govern
ment bonds for four per cent. instead
of 6 and call it saving the revenues
Of the government; condemns the
Southern people for not falling in
love with Hayes concilatory admin
istration; talks about scandals which
Republican papers have printed
about the Ohio Legislature; censures
Democrats for removing soldiers
from office which Republicans had
given them in m or two instances;
sends greeting to the President and
the Republican members of Congress
for opposing laws passed by a Dem
o%cratic Congress and pledges them
their united support.
The platf rm is really the slimest
trash that a great political party has
ever placed before a free people with
the expectation of gaining their suf
frages. They do, not make a pro
gressiye fight on any question but
get on the defensive of everything
known in politics.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-06-12

Andy johnson al impeached
for using the veto power. The Re-
publicans were loud in denunciation
called tia one-man power, and with
one accord cried, "down with the
Ityrant," Hayes now comes in with
his vetoes against the repeal of an
Infamous partizan law; and to hear
these same Republicans talk one is
forced to conclude that there is dan
ger of another impeachment effort,
if his fraudulency does not veto. So
it goes; no obstacles to Republican
doings, but yetoes and all c~onceiva-
bile efforts to prevent the adoption of
just and beneficial legislation.
