Republican Suggestions.

The retirement from circulation of
United States notes is step to he taken
in our progress toward safe and stable
currency which should be accepted as
the policy and duty of the government
and the interest and security of the peo-
ple.-President r. B. Hayes, in His An
nual Message to Congress December g.,
1850.
! The several forms of OUT paper
money offer, in my Judgment, con-
slant embarrassment to the govern
ment and to a safe balance in the treas
ury. Therefore I believe it necessary
to devise system which will
present remedy for those arrange
ments, which, temporary to their nature,
mightwell in theyears of our prosperity
have been displaced by wiser provisions.
President William Mckinley, in His
Inaugural Address March 4, 1897.

MONEY IN TEXAS.

Why Interest Is High and Lonnable
Funds Contracted.
The Galveston Daily News reminds
it's Texas readers of the difference In in
terest rates in the northeastern states
and in some of the western and south
ern states and gives them a few elemen-
trry lessons on the reasons for this diff
ference. Interest is never so low" it
Gays, "in communities given over to
suspicious fires, questionable assign
ments, fraudulent failures or to legisla-
ton with a decided turn against the
creditor and in favor of the debtor"
Much of the market rate of interest is
insurance against risk, and of course
'diminishes as the risk decreases.
"Where men are required by law to pay
their debts and are not sheltered and
encouraged in tricky courses by unreal
'sonable exemption laws and by pub
JIG prejudice against creditors as class
the risk is naturally less serious"
Making it's application to Texas, the
News says: eve have a right to leave a
fraudulent debtor a resident worth $780,
900, ali the bank stock or bonds he can
carry and an extraordinary collection
|of the tools of his trade or profession
iand to defy his creditors to crook a
finger at him. We can do this if we
prefer, but it is going to cost us some
thing" 1t asks why the 'goodly ma
,jority of the people of Texas who "are
not disposed to live high to-day and
hide behind the exemption law, the as
,signment law or some other law to-mor-
row." should be fosced by the discredit
Of bad laws and few dishonest men
ITO pay two prices for every dollar they
borrow" 1t believes the rate of interest
would come down one-half and tho
loanfble funds would double If the hon.
est men of the state would demand the
enactment of laws under which q cred
itor could collect what is due him.

According to the books there is about
$4,000 in the South Dakota state treas
