The Usury bill passed the Sem

legal interest at 6 per cent, If it

will lend laoney at 6 per cent,
while the law will be broken fifty
times a day by agreement to pay
higher interest. The peaceably

However extensively the Panama

| 1t is their security The fund which pro-
tects them is not to be confounded with
gold reserve as it is called. IL every
dollar of the gold reserve were spent to-
morrow, the gold treasury certificates
fund would be there, weighing thousands

! explains why the treasury, having over
$500, 100000 OF gold in its possession,

There has been much talk of gold hoard
ing, upon the theory that the banks of the
country are secreting the yellow metal as
fast as they can secure it, with the ulti-
mate object of bringing the government
TO its knees. The figures exhibited by the
treasury people do not show it. On Feb.
26, 1887, the banks held in round numbers
Sl60, 900, 900 of gold or gold treasury GER
tiicates. Ga March g. 1888. they held in

words, the gold holdings of'the banks have

regarded as evident from this showing
that the banks have been engaged in no
concerted attempt to 'hoard gold" They
