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 3.S per cent in the four gold stand
ard countries and l0.1 per cent i'll the
three silver standard countries. In sill
yer standard countries the rate had fallen
but little, the average for 1904 being
10. Z per cent III gold standard coun-
tries the rate had fallen over 90 per
cent, or from 8. in 1904. These facts
tend to show that there is some good
reason why interest is lower in gold
standard countries. They are confirmed
by the further facts that many large
loans aud some small ones made in sill
yer standard countries are made pay
able i'll 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
money than some silverites dream OF.
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 Interest Barometer.

It 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 Republication, 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
ut 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 OH the barometer at 0 per cent.
In Mexico, Central and South Amer
lean countries and in most other ,coun-
tries on 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

THE POST DISCONTINUED,
And One Of venezuela's Greatest Thorn
Has Been Removed From Her Side.

And One Of Venezuelas Greatest Thorns
Has Been Removed From Her Side.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 22.-By direc-
tion of Lord Salisbury, the military post
Of the Uruan, in British Guiana, which
led to acute troubles with Venezuela,
has been discontinued. An Indian post
holder has been substituted for the po-
lice garrison in obedience to the idirec-
tions from the colonial office in London,
and one of the greatest thorns in Ven-
ezuela's side has been removed.
The news of the abandonment Of the
post reached the state department today
through the Demerara newspapers which
made the announcement January 6. The
colonists are philosophical over the set
back and claim that the Indian post
holder will constitute as effective a
maintainer Of their territorial title as
the soldiers, who will not be exposed to
the frequently malaria influences of the
locality. 1t is also stated that the in
demnity secured from Venezuela on ac-
count Of what was known as the Uruan
Incident, has been apportioned among
the British involved, inspectors Barns
and Baker getting $4,000 ench and the
constables $500 each.

now are that the political Intentions OF
M. A. Hanna will occupy the Cabinet

Canton within the last twenty-four
hours, that he may decide to accept the
position OF Postmaster General. The
most generally accepted opinion Is that
MIR. Hanna thinks he will not be appoint
ed 10 the Senate by Governor BUSHNELL,
though the rumor that Governor Bush
nell has decided to appoint Lieutenant
Governor Jones to fill the seat in the
Senate which will be vacated by Mr..
Sherman on March 4th. Is not. thought
to be wholly reliable. An earnest effort
on the part OF loyal Republicans 10 con-
tinue the harmonious relations which
have existed In the State for the last
year and half may be continued, and 1t
Is by no means certain that Governor.
Bushnell at the last moment may not ap-i
point Mr.. Hanna to the Senatorial va
cancy.
Many Of Mr.. Hanna's friends want him
to 60 into the Ca binet and Major McKin-
ley has desired 1t ever since his election.
The belief that he will be appointed
Postmaster General Is growing hourly.
Mr.. Hanna will be here to-morrow and
Will spend the night, and 1t is more than
likely that he will come to some definite
and final conclusion respecting the Cab
met, although If he awaits the efforts Of
those who are trying to arrange matters
In the interest Of party peace he may not
