PER CAPITA CURRENCY.

Toledo Blade: The amount per
capita in this country is larger than it
ever was before. It is not the amount
of money that is in the country which
make the rate Of interest high, but it
is the number of borrowers TO
double thu amount of currency in the
United States would not give one
iota of relief to man who is in debt.
There is no way OF paying a debt
other than by earning the money to
pay it. TO double the currency would
in no way increase the earning power
of any man, nor would it make it one
Will easier for him to get out of debt.
The rate of interest depends no on the
money that is in the country, but on
the number of borrowers, the security
they can offer and the ease and GER
tainty of collection from the security
in case the debt is not paid at matur-
ity.
A man can borrow money in New
York at rates ranging from 211a to 81
per cent owing to the time for which
the loan is made, ii he can give first
class bonds or stock for security.
These stocks or bonds are placed in
the hands Of the lender. IT the mon

her can sell the stocks and reimburse
himself. This gives absolute certain
ty of repayment without any delay.

Many copies OF the journal find their

Illinois, Pennsylvania and other states,
and we are constantly in receipt Of
communications saying that it is a
welcome visitor and is eagerly read

many Of the neighbors; not that the

that itcontains information of i ma

make a neighbor Of him within that
