agree to pay back 81 900 at the end
of twenty-five years. Is the fact
that he only pays 3 per cent. in
terest proof that he has made an
advantageous contract? Certainly,
according to the World, because it
sees nothing but the interest rate.
The creditor classes everywhere are
in favor of the gold standard. Does
anyone suppose that they argue for
gold because it forces them to take
a low rate of interest? Preposterousl
1t is because they see, or think they
see, an advantage in some other
way. This can only come through
a rise in the value of the money in
which they are repaid.
The World ought to have told its
readers that the SS47, 100000 of
bonded debt remaining, of which it
speaks, represents about the same
quantity of the staple products of
the country, as the whole debt did
when it was created. 1t should have
stated that the rebellion war debt
was mostly contracted in the "de-
preciated currency" which then ex-
listed, and that every consideration
of national honor" would have
been satisfied by its payment in the
same kind of money that the Gov
ernment received. 1t should have
also stated that the depreciation of
the currency to which it refers,
manifested itself simply in higher
range of prices, something for which
every producer in the country is
now longing and praying. Finally,
it should have informed us that the
period to which it refers, when we
were carrying that enormous debt,
and were cursed (?) by a depreciat-
ed currency, was the most pros
porous that the American people
ever enjoyed. that the tramp was
an unknown quantity in American
social and industrial life, and that
the people scarcely knew the mean
ing of the expression "hard times" "
