WE CLIP the following from the Dan
yer facts, Ex-Gov. Waite's paper, for
the especial benefit of the editor of the
Cresset. Waite is one of the best post
ed men in the United States, has
been governor of Colorado and
is more familiar with national and
state affairs than Mr.. Axline eyer Will
be. We submit this editorial at this
time to prove again that the govern
ment loans money to the national bauks
at one per cent:
The bill which passed the House
February 25, to loan the rich national
banks over twenty three million dollars
at tax of per cent per annum. IS a
good thing-fOr The banks. They
would have to pay two hundred and
thirty Thousand dollars interest on the
loan. or course they would reloan 1T.
and say they secured 6 per cent per an
mum Ia very low estimatel what would
the profit be to the banks? At this rate
the twenty three millions would bring
them one million three hundred and
eighty thousand dollars in interest.
leaving a,gr0es profit of 81 100000. And
!. get we are ted by the political leaders
that you cannot legislate wealth into
the pockets Of the peoplel "

Burke and 373 cent labor-and since the
column of reading matter embraces
nothing but personality. an answer is
scarcely necessary. The editor says he
has paid the dollar as he agreed to do.
We are glad lie has been true to his
promise at least once. He has our per-
mission TO pay $1.50 in addition and as
much more as be wishes; our asser-
lions and opinions previously expressed
remain the same. As for submitting
the question for consideration to the
committee he names, we must decline
to accept their decision as being hnal.
The CreSset says they are all demo-
Gratis. Perhaps that is true, buf two of
the three he has named unfortunately
have fallen into the habit of voting the
republican ticket and defending sound
money" But if the Cresset is DESTROYS

this committee should decide that our
position IS wrong and tie Cresset's is
right we will ''plunk a dollar into the

In naming this committee we do not
wish to. say anything which would cast
any reflection on Messrs. Burnett,

good citizens and for all we know our
argument might have some weight with
them, but if the Cresset is justified in
not abiding by the Judgment of John j
