A NEW AXIOM.

Senator John p. Jones says: "The
decrease Of the interest rate has kept
even pace with the rise in the value OF
money. / hold, therefore, that a new
axiom should be added to the science Of
political economy, viz: That as the pur.
chasing power of money increases, its in
come producing power decreases. and in
about the same ratio; and conversely,
when the purchasing power Of money de.
creases, its income producing power in
creases. In other words, when prices
rise. interest rises; when prices fall, in.
terest falls"
The truth of the above is evident to
many N~evadans. Before silver was de-
monetized when mining camps were
booming and -four $40 per hundred
pounds, interest ranged from Is to 25
per cent per annum Now the prices of
commodities are reduced and so is the in.
terest rate. but unfortunately for many
they contracted debts when six bushels
Of wheat would pay Is per cent interest,
whereas il takes 10 bushels OF wheat to
pay 6 per cent interest at the present
time.-Reno Journal.

This is the way the Denver Republican
puts it: II the Mint officials at Wash
ington would pay more attention to the
real duties Of their Office and waste less
time in trying to juggle with their fin
gers aud falsify facts to sustain the abb
surd and destructive single gold stand.
ard, they would have discovered the
robbery going on at the Carson Mint long
ago. OF late years the statistics fur
nished by the Director OF the United
States Mint regarding the production OF
gold and silver and the amount Of gold
in the United States have been entirely
false and misleading, and we are surprised
that Congress has not taken some steps
to insure honest reports regarding the
production and distribution of the pre-
cious metals in this country.
