tanning the same population. L
amounts to $40 per capita as against
S23 so per capita on the Mainland. In
reckoning the per capita amount, the
Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese and ma
tiyes are included as a part OF the
population, although the majority OF
them are not large holders of coin.
The proposition accepted by writer's
on the subject, is that the larger the
amount Of coin in circulation, the
lower is the rate of interest, provided
the security is adequate. If the secur-
ity is not adequate the rate Of interest
will be hign, in spite of the abundance
of money. Whenever there is a large
surplus of money in the commercial
centres, the rate of interest declines
at once. The wealth Of the world stead
lily reduces the rate, and is now giving
rise to discussion in Europe as 70 what
the rate viii be in fifty years from
the present time. United States bonds
paying only two per cent. interest sold
on the n. Y. exchange on February
25th within a fraction of the par value
These views regarding the rate of
interest are not ours, but those of
Prof. Cairnes, Leon Say, Prof Wilson
and of the writer's on political econo-
my.
Assuming, therefore, that the esti-
mate made by our local bankers is
true, the rate of interest here should
be as low, and really lower than it is
on the Mainland, because there is about
double the amount of money per CAPT
Ia here in comparison with the money
in circulation there.
The returns of trade published yes
terday show that the lowest rate of
interest obtained upon mortgage secur-
ity was seven per cent. Why then is
the rate so high? What causes are
are at work to maintain that rate if
money is so abundant?
If it is said that the recent develop
ments in the sugar industry make
money scarce, the reply may be made
| that with the low rate per capita on
| the Mainland, transactions are con-
lstantly, taking place which involve,
| singly. an amount equal TO one-half OF
the valuation of all property on these
Islands, and yet the rate of interest
remains low
Fhis condition Of our Finances should
be explained. Our views are not posi-
tive, but tentative and merely sug-
gestive 1t is quite possible that there
are local conditions here which should
be considereds and these may Justify
this curious financial condition.
