The Money Rate.

When one compares the excessive
fluctuations in the rates of interest at
New York with those of London, Paris,
and Berlin, it seems extraordinary
that no action has been taken by our
government to remedy the defects in
our currency system. In order to ap-
preciate these enormous changes in
the value of money, it is necessary to
keep constantly in mind the fact that
money is merely a commodity. If, for
instance, the supply of ice was so fix
ed that the same quantity was meted
out for each month, irrespective OF
temperature or the requirements Of
the community, we should see in New
York, during July and August, Ice adj
vancing to fabulous prices, on account
of the extraordinary demand and the
fixed, limited supply which could not
be increased to meet the occasion dur
ing those two months. So in Wall
Street, few months ago, the temper
ature rose, as it were, matters became
excited, and the supply of money was
not equal to the demand; and, as 1t
could not be quickly increased to meet
the temporary requirements, the rate
actually rose to over 100 per cent

Duty Owed to Posterity.

1t is to be regretted that the senate
did not see fit to favor the bill re-
serving the petrified forest in Arizona
as a national park, which measure has
four times passed the house Of repre-
sentatives. 1t is a duty which the
nation owes posterity to make certain
that all of our country's great natural
wonders, like the petrifed forest, the
Grand canyon of Arizona, the Yosem-
tie valley, the Yellowstone park, the
Niagara falls and the White noun
tain forests shall be preserved for all
time from private control or possibly
DETACHMENT. Not only should they be
so preserved from purely sentimental
considerations, but because they have
a national commercial value that is
certain to become greater with every
successive generation.-Boston Herald.
