course of his remarks he said the

and most certain of all security and arc
sufficient to furnish all the money
needed. The printing deficiency bill

curity because they appear to be the
most certain OF all security and ara

needed. The people, he thought
will have more confidence in finan-
cial measure that is new and radical
il it has at present only land for "
basis. The rate of interest in the
bill is fixed mt per cent, but in time
may be reduced as experience shall
teach. The rate of interest charged
by the government under the bill will
not necessarily fix the general rate of
interest for business purposes. That
will always be determined by its value
in use. The farmer having the best
security will borrow for his own use or
the use of others who may be willing
to pay him satisfactory interest. The
banker borrows money from the gov
eminent free OF interest and loans it at
such Il rate as its use commands in the
market. In the house the conference
