are those prepared by Professor Irving
Fisher and published in August, 1896,
by the American Economic association.
These show only market or bank rates
of interest in London, Berlin, Paris,
New York, Calcutta, Tokyo and Shang
hal for series of years, and of course
these are far below the average rates.
Professor Fisher finds that the average
bank rate of interest from 1875 to 1879
was 8 per cent in the four gold stand
ard countries and TO-. per cent in the
three silver standard countries. In sill
yer standard countries the rate had fallen
but little, the average for 1904 being
1917 per cent. In gold standard cOun-
tries the rate had fallen over % per
cent, or from 3. 2 i'll 1904. These facts
reason why interest is lower in gold
standard countries. They are confirmed
by the further facts that many large
loans and some small ones made in sill
yer standard countries are made pay
able in gold and at rates of interest far
below those prevailing. One of the al
legged reasons why Japan has changed
from silver to gold basis is to obtain
lower rates of interest on loans which
she wished to negotiate.
There is more in this subject of cheap
The best money is. in fact, the cheapest.
If the borrower thinks otherwise, let
him have his cheap money and pay the
increased rates of interest charged for it.

The National Financial school is
the name of an organization which is
making some Roadway in the middle
northern states and perhaps also in 9TH
er sections of the country. Its ostensi-
BILE object is to conduct nonpartisan
study of American finance. Its pros
pectus, however, contains some express
sions such as restoration of a thorough
ly American financial policy which
indicates the real object of the pro-
motors. The organization was recently
extended into Boone county, Ind,
where seven financial schools besides
the advance SCHOOL, and the county
SCHOOL, are now in operation. each with
presidents. secretaries, instructors and
directors.
These financial schools should be en-

The Interest Barometer.

1t will pay silverites who want cheap
money-that is, money at low rates OF
interest-to study the rates of interest
charged in gold and silver standard
countries and to compare the average
rates of interest on certain classes of
loans in sound money states, which
never favor reputation, and in states
which favor free coinage and which
sometimes favor reputation of debts
1t is difficult to get exact figures of in
terest rates in different states and coun-
tries, but the statistics obtainable are
not favorable for the farmer who votes
for free silver with the expectation that
it would enable him to borrow money
at low rates of interest.
According to the last census, the
average rate of interest ON farm mort
cages in 1890 was 1856 per cent. The
rate has undoubtedly declined since
then, except, perhaps, in certain states
which are voting and legislating against
capital The rate is also higher than
that ON most other classes of securities
1t is probable that the average rate of
interest in this country is now consider
able less than per cent. In England,
France, Germany and many other gold
standard countries it is undoubtedly less
than per cent. We have, however, put
the rate on the barometer at per cent.
In Mexico Central and South Amer
lean countries and in most other couE-
tries on a silver basis the rates of inter
est will probably average more rather
than less than 10 per cent Statistics on
ordinary loans ON farm mortgages are
not available for comparison in these
countries. Perhaps the best available

 Crops Destroyed.

Wrightsville, Ga, Nov. 23.-The Cy- press mills and mill dam at this pace were blown up last night with dyna- mite. The property is owned by w. G. Samons, wealthy planter.
 The gin and mill were among the most valuable in south Georgia, and the mill pond covered nearly a hun dred acres. A heavy charge of dy la mite was exploded in the rocks of the dam, and the machinery of the mill and gin was destroyed by flying stones.

censured the drill of one of the reg.- ments, and in the case of the Sixty sixth charged the officers with fraud for what he called the scandalous way they had filled up the ranks. He charged that two-thirds of the men were from the British army reserve, illegally drawing pay from two sources and thus committing a fraud on the imperial and the Canadian govern ments. This he said publicly before the regiment, and he also told Col Humphrey privately that his reg iment was composed of ''army reserve men, eX-soldiers, and kids.''
 The facts are that not more than forty of the Sixty-sixth are army re- serve men, and the officers cannot make out why General Gascoigne made such erroneous statements. They blame General Montgomery Moore the officer commanding the British forces, who dislikes the militia, and especial y the Sixty sixth for havi g poisoned the mind of General Gascoigne Twelve of the officers have already resigned, and by Tomorrow the Sixjy-sixth will be without an officer on account Of what they consider the insults of the commander of the Canadian militia.
