congregations in the central part of the
city, namely, Hanover, Central and
First"
David Lemon spoke at length in op-

The rate of interest is never the same
in the western states that 1t is in the
eastern, the difference ranging from
four to eight per cent. Between East
Canada and West Canada the rate
varies only one or two per cent. The
American Agriculturlst suggests that
this may be due to the fexibility Of our
neighbors banking system, which, like
that of Scotland. makes generous pro-
vision for branch banks" For in
stance. in 1896. the thirty-eight banks
of Canada reported more than five hun
dred branches. loc"ted In two hundred
and eighty-seven cities and towns
some OF them pretty small towns. By
such branches the surplus saving east
and the expanding. energetic west in
brought together. and the farmer who
wants a loan is spared good deal Of
delay. red tape and expense. Doubt.
less the Canadian method has its short.
comings, like others. but It is easy to
agree with the Agrlculturlst's chief
conclusion, that since American cities
are already well supplied with bank.
OF discount, the needs Of the country
districts may be mainly considered in
this connection"
