has an article in the February Forum
which should attract the attention of
Bryan Democrats, even If it does not please
them. OF course. in many respects Senator
Butler is an ignorant man, since any man
is ignorant who declares that Jackson and

volume should be increased from year to
year with the growth in population and

should be at all times legal tender" An
drew Jackson was essentially coin man
at time when all that the government did
was to coin the gold and silver brought to
the mints. In 1887, because no gold was
brought to the minis, Jackson's party In
Congress changed the coinage ratio from
Is to / to 16 to /. This change sent gold to
our minis and silver out of the country. so
that practically the country has been on
gold basis ever since. Andrew Jackson
never declared for the issue of legal-tender
paper money. He was against the United
States Bank, but he favored state banks of
issue. Lincoln. like all the leaders of his
period, reluctantly provided for the issue
OF legal-tender paper as a war measure,
and from first to last, did his utmost to
keep this issue TO the lowest figure by
issuing large amounts of 7-So notes that
were not legal tenders. but were converted

Senator Butler goes on to state that in
1892 and 1894 both parties had drifted away
from the sound doctrine OF finance which
was TO issue unlimited and irredeemable
legal-tender paper. and the Populist party
came into existence. thus ignoring several

TwO-PER-CENT, INTEREST.
Reasons Why the Government Should
Not Institute 1t.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
The tendency of interest is no longer
downward. A variety of causes, among
which the activity which prevails through
out the commercial world. and nowhere
more than in the United States. have COM
bined to enhance the value of money and
to render investors unwilling to accept so
small return on their investment as that
for which the Senate bill provides. Nor
is it at all certain that the establishment
of per cent. basis of interest is for
the good of the community. The diff
ference which this makes to the man of
moderate means is enormous. 1t is the diff
ference between too little and enough.
How many men are there who would be
able to save a competency for their de-
Ginning years IL they could obtain no more
than per cent interest on their money?
sum three times as great would be
necessary for that purpose as was suffi-
cient not many years ago. and no one
will claim that the capacity for saving has
increased in any such proportions. Take
the case of q man who by economy and
prudence has managed to accumulate, say,
twenty thousand dollars. IL he could so
invest that amount as to return him
or even per cent, as was practicable
not so very long ago, he would have
enough to live on in comfort, but if he
can only get per cent. for his money
his income will not be sufficient for his
support This Is a reason. and it is a
strong one, why it is not desirable that
per cent should not be established as a
standard rate of interest in the United
States. 1t would discourage thrift and the
saving to the government would not be by
any means a commensurate compensation.
There are other reasons why the per
cent refunding scheme is not in favor
with many of those who have given the
matter a careful consideration, such as
the doubt as to the ability of the United
States to issue per cent. bonds at par,
and the inexpediency of employing as
security for the bank circulation bonds
which would be at all likely to sell at a dis
count should the national fortunes suffer
a reverse; but to our way of thinking. the
fact that per cent. interest rate makes
it much more difficult, makes it almost i'm
practicable. for working people to acquire a
competence, is the strongest reason why
the institution of a per cent. interest rate
is not to be desired.
The United States government ought not
to lead the way in that direction 1t doesn't
have to. and ii shouldn't do it. We shall be
glad to the refunding scheme aban-
dOned.
