THE INTEREST BAROMETER.
Interest Rates Are Lower in Gold Than
in Silver Standard Countries,

Ahterestnutes are Lower In Gold Than
in Silver Standard Countries.
1t 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 Reputation, 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
1t would enable him to borrow money
at low rates Of interest.
According to the last census, the aver
age rate of interest on farm mortgages
in 1890 was 1886 per cent. The rate has
undoubtedly declined since then, ex.
cept, perhaps, In certain states which
are voting and legislating against cap
ital. The rate is also higher than on
most other classes OF securities. II is
probable that the average rate of inter-
est in this country is now considerable
less than six per cent In England,
France, Germany and many other gold
standard countries II is undoubtedly
less than five per cent. We have, how
ever, put the rate on the barometer at
six 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 ten per cent. Statistics
on ordinary loans on farm mortgages
are not available for comparison in
these countries. Perhaps the most
available are those prepared by Prof.
Irving Fisher and published In August,
1896, by the American Economic associ.

rates of interest in London, Berlin,

Colds Campaign of Silence.

Mark lIannas men now announce that
they have changed their minds about
keeping up their campaign OF gold stand
ard education through the next four
years, and are Gin favor of stopping all
political agitation and permitting the
verdict OF the people o. the country to
stand upon its merits"
That is strictly in line with the time
honored policy of the gold party. They
didn't want any political agitation Of the
money question when silver was demone-
TIED in 1873; they don't want it now !;
they never will want anything that will
set the common people to studying
the subject. The less the masses know
about it the easier it will be for the
millionaire manipulators to work their
schemes.
1t is good policy-for the gold men.
1t isn't good policy for the free coinage
men. The more the American people
know about the money question, the
bigger will be the free coinage majority.
Let the gold men stop talking if they
want to. It's the best thing they can do.
But the free coinage campaign Of educa-
ton is going right along, 313 days in the
year and if necessary on Sundays, too. =

emperor's private escort. very handsome

the Cossack deputies, and my friends

them imposing, for just as they were
passing the bands struck up the national
hymn, the horses started, and the dep
uties became confused mass clinging
to their horses names. The owner of a

OPINION ON INTEREST COUPONS.

County Attorney Abel has rendered an
opinion to the IIoquiam school board that
the interest coupons of the bonded debt
of the district should be counted as part
OF the debt in ascertaining whether or not
the district is beyond the limit. This
seems like Il radical opinion, and il sus-
tanned by the courts will affect not only
school districts but cities, towns, counties
and the state itself. 1t is the kind of
radicalism, however, that the worst old
corporation-bugc cannot take exception to.
While the coupon is an absolute prom
Use of the district to pay specified sum
at certain time in the future, yet it is
not u debt for value received, in that the
value is not received by the district for
the use OF the money represented by the
bond until the time the coupon becomes
due; neither can the bondholder. in case
OF default in payment of interest, in IL suit
to enforce payment, obtain Il judgment
for the unearned coupons, and it would
therefore seem that the unearned coupon
should not be counted a debt within the
meaning of the constitution; but Mr..
Abel, in holding the opinion rendered, is
inclined to be on the conservative side,
and to be governed by the strict wording
OF tie constitution.
Where an option OF payment before
maturity exists the opinion is held bv the
attorney to apply only to the coupons
maturing prior to the time when the OPP
ton becomes operative, as the amount Of
the coupons the district will have to pay
after that time is not ascertainable. Nor
does it apply to the probable amount Of
interest yet to accrue on outstanding
warrants. We do not understand that
this opinion affects the running of schools
whose current expenses are paid from
the proceeds OF a special levy.
