low, It would signify little In comparison
with the assurance OF security. The people
who long FOR fabulous rates OF Interest are
not found among the men and women who

Set down to the credit Of the forty-ninth
Congress the passage OF wise and beneli-
cent measure, the good results of which
will be felt In many humble homes. The

terday Just as 1t came from the House, and
will soon be made n law by the signature of
the President, ought to be commended by |
all friends Of justice. If 1t were possible TO
compel the men who grew rich out of the
war 10 pay all the pensions, equity would
be the gamer, but since that cannot be
done, all good citizens will be glad to bear
their part of the taxation imposed by this
