General Merritt.

Major General Wesley Merritt is
credited with being equal, if not SUI
perior, to any cavalry officer living.
Every officer and soldier who ever
served under him loves him. The
most unkind word ever said of him
was just after he was graduated, in
October, 1850, when Quartermaster
Marshall remarked to Captain B. E.
Bee: bee, what do you think OF
that fellow2 I mean that West
Pointer who is attached to Company
F, Second dragons? He looks as If
he was half asleep" Bee, a chiyal-
rous fellow, a noble officer, respond
ed, Marshall, don't put your finger
in that fellows mouth may bite
vou.' General Merritt's ability,
gallantry, determination, daring
and many successes in the civil war
proved that he was an ideal soldier,
Just as Bee had measured him.

New Recruits For Good Roads.

Yes, sir, it is entirely appropriate
for Memorial day orator to speak an
appropriate word in behalf of good
roads,"
Such was the answer of q farmer
when consulted on the subject by a
gentleman who was to deliver the
Memorial day address in a western
village. Continuing, he said:
Why not? The people for miles
around here are deeply interested in
Memorial day ceremonies. Some years
only few of us could attend because
of the horrible condition of the roads.
On such occasions our Memorial day
ceremonies have been pretty nearly a
failure. was not soldier, but had
two brothers who were soldiers, and,
like myself, they are farmers, but do
not believe that they are more earnest
in their hope that Memorial day will
be perpetuated long after the last
soldier has passed away, than myself
| have thought for years that it was
very important that these ceremonies
be continued. They certainly have
resulted in good the past thirty years;
they certainly can do the same kind of
work for many years to come. know
they will be more largely attended and
consequently will do more good if
hundreds of thousands of people in
the aggregate are not prevented from
attending them because of deep mud
that we sometimes have at that time of
year. I wish had my way about it,
You could depend upon it that every
Memorial day orator, until we get good
roads, would put in plea in their
behalf, an earnest one, to the millions
who assemble on that day to listen to
addresses.
81 do not understand why it would
be out of place for all of the 1000 or
5000 posts in the country to pass reso-
lutions in favor of them. / do not
understand why at all of their state
gatherings and at the national gather
ings they should not take similar &C
ton. They say the war cost nine or
ten billions of dollars. Bad roads in
the United States the past fifty years
have cost the people fully as much as
that. Anything that is so expensive
as that, anything in which so many
people are deeply interested in, it
seems to me, is entirely proper for a
patriotic organization to take hand
in, to do it's full share in agitating for
and bring about. Every class needs
good roads; but none more than we
farmers. With all my heart / thank
the wheelmen and all classes who are
working for good roads"
The speaker, in enumerating work
which the eX-soldiers could assist in
carrying forward during the balance of
their years, mentioned agitation in be-
half of good roads, devoting four or five
minutes in that direction, and men and
women of the village, men and women
of the country, all classes, cheered it to
the echo, which is still further evidence
that good roads are coming. Let the
work of agitating redouble in earnest
ness. practically and effectiveness.

The Interest barometer.

It will pay silverites who want cheap
sloney-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.
It 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
It is probable that the average rate OF
interest in this country is now consider
able less than 6 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 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

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 a 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 3.8 per cent in the four gold stand
ard countries and 1911 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 25 per
cent, or from So 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 and 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 a 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.

Another Blow For Silver.

The Peruvian government in April
suspended the coinage of silver and de-
cided to prohibit its importation after
May 10. It is probable that Peru wish
ed to borrow money and that she could
not do so while on silver basis with
out paying very high rates of interest.
The Shylocks of Europe refused to loan
at low rates and to take chances of los
ing more by the depreciation of silver
than they would gain from the interest.
Oh, these wicked, grasping Shylocks
who refuse to loan money at loss!
