The opinion is accompf}_nied by a_seyere criticism of the @act. .The court also decided that the passenger laws of New York wére unconstititional, and held that no laws. prescribing eonditions foF the Janding ‘of passengers from abroad can be constitutionally made exdept by Congress. , . : ;

Trr BANNER is inclitied to endorse the views thus expressed by the Indianapolis Journal: “If *Congress - proposes to stand by the Resumption _act and to force specie. payments in - January, 1879, as it contemplates, the - fact -ought to be at once declared and " the necessary step taken to that end.

'THE FINANCIAL POLICY OF FRANCE. | Mr, Trevellick, in his speechies at ‘this place, took occasion to speak in highly eulogistic terms of the remarkably suceessful management of the finances of France since the, F'rancoPrussian war. Though careful not-to say s 6 in express terms, he eyidently soug#hi: to convey the impréssipﬁthat France had.adopted a policy somewhat siniilzir- to that so zealously championed by Pigiron «I{elley;‘El’]zxil Buchanan, Mose Field and Dick Trevellick. Nothing could be farther from the truth. - The tacts in.the case are, France has been enabled to place its finances in -such excellent condition b»ecause"the advise of such impracticable theorists as our own country has had to deal with has not received the slightest countenance on part of those who brought about these marvellous results., Wise statesmanship and skillful financiering—the very: opposite of what has been urged by . the inflation hobbyists—has enabled ‘France to recover,its prosperity, despite the heavy burdens imposed upon its people. ' Instead of trying to.array labor against capital, and_instead of devising visionary schemes and building castles in the air, the 'French.peof ple applied muscle, economy, and pru‘dent management to help them out of the difficulties and troubles resulting from a devastating war. . France did not commit the blundér of d‘i‘scarding specie basis or standard and of substi'glting anﬂirré‘deemabl'e rag -money. Quite a different state of financial affairs exists there. . The Bank “of France has to-day in its vaults the 1 largest amount of gold and silver eveyr “ held in any onesum in the world, amounting to more than $355,000,080. This, we #re assured, is more ‘than three times the entire quantity of coin and bullion held in the Bank of England. o S A o : ‘ln order to show our readers t‘hev] exact reason why a paper dollay ifi France is ‘to-day worth as hmqh as gold, we append the followingauthentic statement as it appeared in .a re- | cent issue of the “New York Shipping | and Commercial List and Price Cur--rent,” generally :I‘(’3,gepted' as the Dbest authority on financial subjects in this country: . T

‘. Thie prompt recovery of-the French finances’ from-the blighting influences of the Franco-Prussian war has been something remarkable.. -On.the 26th of February, 1874, the bank. had in circulation 1.2,700,131,175. of its notes, and £.933,716,885 in specie. Tor every £.1,000 of cireulating notes, it had but f. 345 to be used in redeeming them. On Feb. 25, 1875, the bank had redueged' its circulation to 1.2,575,88¢,560, and had increased its metalic reserve. to 1.1,486,3112,329, being~a coutraction. of £125,0600,000, apd-an. accumulation of £.550,000;000, in eash. Feb. 30, 1875, the bank held £.573 in cash for every £.1,000 in cirevlation. On Feb..24,1876, the eirculation had been still farther reduced’ by £.112,000,000, the amount outstanding on that day being £.2,463,800,490. ° The cash reserve; also increased mnearly -f1.300,000,000 more, the specie held by the bank on Feb. 24 being £.1,776,641,081; so that,. on that day, every £.1,000 of notes outstanding had £.721 in.the vaunlts-of the bank for purposes of redsmption at the proper time. . ‘

- If a like policy’ were. sought to be }naugur’ated in thi‘§ country, every cross-road politigian of the inflation persuasion wonld shout himself ioarse over the impending bankruptey of the gountry. -~ Mr. " Richard Trevellick ought to:look into these figures and draw a lesson from their significance. He might learn therefrom that it is cration (of genuine wealth) which Jmadeé the paper money of France’convertible into gedd. =~ = -

. o 2 > Em—— T THE CHINESE TROUBLES IN CALIIFOR-.‘ f S N, | ‘The recent decision of the United i States Supreme Court, elsewhere re-; ferred to,.and which in effect declaresthat the States ¢annot constitutionalky enact laws to restrict or prevent foreign emigration, has caused great excitement and alarm on the Pacific’ cogst, \_\"heré the constz:mt}y increasing Ch‘iqesp population .is regarded as a menace to western civilization. The San Francisco Chronicle, in. an article treating theChinese question, declares : “We in California say to'!our eastern brethren that Cliinese emigration is a great and inereasing evil.. . We 'have" experienced thel advantages and disadvantages resulting from it. We know its dangers and the dangers that are | likely.to grow -up from it.- We have s_é,en the operation' of Chinese labor upon our various trades and industries, and we are mow beginning to feel how disastrously they are affecting our social, political, moral and industrial position.”

- The Chronicle further_éuys: “We speak not in. passion, butin solemn calmness, and we say. that the question involves the, happiness and progress of civilization in America. It is a fact, demons‘tm@ed by the presence of one hundred and fifty thousand Chinese in a population of less than a million, that white labor cannot compete with‘_the_m[ Their habits of life and .the economies resulting from them render necessary a conflict disastroqs to eur people. Every industry they attack yieldsto their patient endeavor, and every trade and occupation in which they engage the European and American’ born workers retire. from discomfited and beaten. So far the Chinaman has triumphed in every conflict in-which he has been. opposed. We have passed laws against gambling, prostitution, vagrancy and begging, ~against theatrical performances after midnight -and noisy amusements. We have endeavored to bring them within sanitary regulations; we haye endeavored to collect from them licenses and faxes; we have sought'to prevent the emigration of paupers and mendicants, and so far they have defeated all laws, by the simple policy of non-resisting submission. ‘'They are sént to our prisons till the prisons are full; they accept the bread and meat of our penitentiary fare as an unaccustomed luxury; to sleep in our jails and to be fed is to them a life of welcome ease.: Their societies make labor contracts and import coolies, against the policy of our laws. They bring concubines and sell them as slaves. Harlotry is g legitimate.commerce with them, and one ‘with which our laws are powerless to deal. They have courts among themm . Their codes, their. govern- ; _z:,t.i;eit morals, their language, are separate and apart from our own. They import their own Foods_ from ‘China, and they transmit their earnings from our shores to their native e . o ttlle itoide - Late accounts convey the information that serious trouble is Entﬁeipawa ‘Violent resistance is openly advocated.

On Monday last Connecticut elected a Goverhpr and other State officers (who, however, only hold office till January, 1877, as .in November next the State changes' from’ spring to fall elections), and a Legislature that will choose a United States Senator to fill the vacancy eaused by the death of O. S. Ferry, Republican, and temporarily filled by the appointment of James E. English, Democrat. In the Third (New Lond(m) Congressional District a Representative to the 44th Congress was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the death of H. H. Starkweather, Republican. %~ e

. .. THE CANDIDATES, -- * . Tour State tickets were in the field, the Democrats renominating.the' present State officers. The candidates | for Governor were: Démocgatic, Chas. ‘ R. Ingersoll; Republican, :IL. C. Robinson; Ur’eénba@k ar Currency = Reformers, Charles Atwater; Prohibition, Henry :D. Smith. = For Congress in the Third District, the Demcerats ' bad nominated David A. Wells, the ‘(listinguishedApolitical economist;; the Republicans, John T. Wait, and the Prohibitionists, E. 11.

' | The Democratic platform declares for: the supremacy of the civil over. the mili‘t-a;'yf authority 3 regards u‘ thezough I'él'or_nl of the 5.‘@1\51 service as one of the most pressing neacessities of the hour; demands the roain‘tenance of public credit and tarift for revenue onlyl; requests the preserva‘tion of public lands for dctual setitlers and the abolition of all subsidies; eulogizes the Democratic majority inCongress for its efforts to promote an economieal adninistration; and . €xpresses approbation of the democratic ‘officials of Connecticut. The finant cial planks declare gold and silver to [be j}le only eurrency known to the Congtitution, and that it is “the duty of Congress to adopt such measures as shall lead to an early resumption of specie payments,” while guarding its acts by prudence. The Sherman act is denounced as a ‘decépﬁiom and & fx‘aud,’,adoﬁted through reasons of party expediency. : : i The Republican platform demands retrenchment and reform, and the preservation inviolate of the great lessons of the war; eulogizes Messrs. Jewell and Bristow, and ‘charges the Democracy in Congress with making disgraceful selections . for office, and halting upon thé great financial questions of the time. Free public sthools | are demanded, and a division of the school fund is protested against. The resumption aet is approved, and the declaration made that the welfare of | the country ‘demands that necessary legislation be passed’ to earry the resumption act into effect at the time specified, either by funding the greenbacks in “long bonds, at the lowest pragticable";Lmberest, or by using.any available means to pay and cancel them. - A :

~ The platform of the Currency Reformers asks the immediate and unconditional repeal of the resumption act, and that greenbacks shall be made a full legal tender for all public dues, and the Ifburchase of government bonds at par with gold coin.- The national bank notes should be gradually retired, and the legal tenders made exchangeable for all intereonvertible bonds. bearing a low rate of interest.

ol T PAST VOT R : The following table shows the vote of Connecticut since 1872: : S Dem, Rep. . Temp, 1872. G0vern0r..44,562 46,563 1,549 1872. President..4s,B94 50,318 | 206 1873.

The total vote last year was 100,983. The vote for Governor this year stands: : : Ingersoll, Democrat, -.........51,071 Robinson, Repub1ican,.........43,657 Atwater, Greenback,....... ... 1,986 Sinith, Pemperance, .. ..o, 1,871 Ingersoll’s majority over all, 3,657; plurality over Robinson, 7414. The greenback party cast two-thirds of its strength in New Haven. About one-half of the temperance vote went to the republican ticket. S - The Senate stands 18 Democrats to 3 Republicans, a Democratic® gain of onefrom last year. The Lower House (including two towns electing one Representative each, results from which are estimated) stands 85 Republicans to 159 Democrats, and 2 Independents, Last year, 107 Republicans, 137 Demberats, 1 Independent. Democratig gain, 22. Democratic majority on joint ballot, 87. Considering the fact that the Republicans generally conceded the reelection of Gov. Ingersoll, and that they made a special effort to secure the Legislature, the increased democratic majorities in both Jranches renders the demdcratic victory all the more glorious and adds largely to its significance. (g Wells, for Congress, is defeated by about 800 plurality. His defeat is a national loss. He would have been worth a dozen ordinary Congressmen.

Tyt Senate has rejeeted the nomination of Richard H. Dana as Minis ter to England. =5 o

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. The Philadelphia Chronicle (democratic) avers: “Bristow towers a head and shoulders’ above all Republican competitors of to-day, and, as a consequence, is drawing the fire of the whole squad. He'will be a strong man if he outlives the assaults now in preparation?! “Coyrect. . Y F

There is more truth than poetry in this, the Springfield Republican’s observation: “The men ‘inside politics’ look upon Adams and Bristow with very mixed feelings; they know they can be elected, but they don’t know who is going to run them. This is the nutshell that holds the whole case.” CELORRE :

~ THE BANNER does not, as a general thing, favor re volutionary mevements, but it endorses the one thus proposed by the San Francisco Alta, (republican:) “Another revolution is wanted in the-I'nited States. The American spoils system is a worse tyrant than the British King. We must get rid ofit? ot il :

Tne BANNER cordially. subseribes to this sentiment, ekpressed by the Wilmington (Del.) Gazette: “It matters not to what party the bride-takers belong, we, as one Democratic journalist, re-echo in all fsi'nceritfy the remark of Grang, ‘let no guilty man/escape’ exposure-and the punishment of popular indignation.” ;

'The Boston Advertiser (sgpublican) remarks: “The certainty that nothing will be done on the currenc;rftlueétion so long asit remains dn exelusive pa?rty question i's_opening,thieyes of many of the ablest'members on the Ilard-Money side, who propose a cofiference on an eariy day for the lpurpose of devising some adequate legislation on the subject.”

The Lanoke (Ark.) Democrat puts in a good word for the gallant Gen. Hancock: “We are not in favor of amilitary men for the Presidency on a 'l')'u~rely“ military ;ecorc}. We believe General Hancock ‘quy comes up.to the standard of excellence l'quil'e(l, at thi:s time, to place the Government on the high' plane of honesty and integrity to which it has long been a stranger.” 23 < 5

The Little Rock (Ark.) Heraldsays, with much force: “Tlhe grand work performed by Mr. Tilden, in bringing about a I'efql'ill so much needed in the city of New York; will'be remembered by the people of this country as forming one of the brightest pages olf his private history, Whvile, his whr; as Governor, upon the can_al/ frauds {v]nch have so long existed in his State, will be singled out and pointed to with pride among the many public acts.”

Unmindful of his uncompromising warfare against thieves and plunderers,anumber of republican papers have been and are still doing their utmost to Dlacken the reputation of Gov. Tilden. The Portlan!id (l\Iaille) Argus accounts for this unjust course in this language: “The distress of the Republican organs arises from the fact that Governor Tilden is spoken of for the Presidenc¢y. If he should be nominated, they wvirtually. ‘confess that he could not be beaten. Hence their continual attacks upon him, getting up every sort of false allegation in the hope that they may prevent his nomination.” i Ay

. Morton’s prospects foy a presidential nomination have, to some extent, umproved during the past wegk. The New York Dispatch notes this fact in these words: - “Some New York papers, notably tixe Tribune, seem to think that- Senator Morton’s chinces at Cineinnati are .about as hopeless as those of Mr. Conkling’s. | Let them not underrate the strength of the:lndianian. There|will be thousands of enthusiastic Hoosiers in Cincinnati, and they will- bring an enormous pressure to béar upon thie convention in favor of Oli,ve‘r; P. Morton, and he is a very adroit politi_cizm and will make the best use of every chance opening before him. llis organs in Indiana earnestly believe that he will be nominated. This; we do not think; but that Morton will be mno- despicable competitor is certain.” = Notwithstanding all this, THE BANNER still feels confident that Morton ¢an’t make ‘the rife. @/] e

The New York Z'%mes, in commenting on the Payne finance bill and its proposed repeal of the %esur‘nption act, gays, “it is idle to’ talk of repealing a promise.” The trouble in this instance, the Harrisburg Patriot says, is that the republican pm"ty has put 1n eirculation over three hundred millions of unrepealed promises which it hasnever kept. The resumption act was another promise’ never intended to be kept, and only possible of fulfillment by a heavy increase of bonded debt. The Democrats now propose the gradual preparation of the country for the redemption of its broken promises by a slow accumulation of coin.in the treasury, so slow that it shall ‘not be burdensome, and yet so sure| that it will be ultimately effective. :

The . Baltimore Gazeite says “the democratic party of Pennsylvania did good work at Lancaster. It refused to be guided by the false financial lights which temporarily led it on the soft money rocks ayear.ago, and came out fairly, squarely and honestly for a sound currency. The crimes of the administration and of the party in power ‘were fitly denounced and the true issues of civil service reform, economy and good government for the whole people were clearly.and emphatically asserted. The ~Keystone State now stands side by side with New York, Conneclicut, Illinois and Wiseonsin in the fight for hard money sadhomesule. <. . .. The N. Y. World lauds the action of the Pennsylvania Dbmocracy in these words: “The Democrats of Pennsylvania return to the democratic doctrine of sound currency and say the right word at the right time, There is no'doubtful sound about their declaration for an l‘i_oz_;_esgt--p&i;ympntiq?v the debt of the nation and the sound preservation of public faith. The

Sherman sham is denounced and its repeal dendanded; in order that'a practical measure which will perform more effectually if it. promises less loudly, may be substantiated for it Gold and silver the only true basis of currency, and such legislation as will most surely and speedily })ririg, about resumption—these are the colors that {he Democratssof Pennsylvania nail to the mast-liead in lieu of the false colors they_ borrowed last year from the republicans and fought under so disastrously.” o HE

“The Washington Chronicle pays a merited tribute to a gentleman whom Tue BANNER could heartily support for.the Presidency: “General W. B, Hancock is. now being frqguently' mentioned as the prebable candidate for the Denxp&gatic ‘nomination. for the Presidency. !'The sentiment in his own State, Pehns_ylvanﬁa, is bécoming very general in his favor among the leading Democrats, espécial’iy jin the rural distriets. In discussixig his claims with other candidates it is generally concedrd that ofiall the gentlemen mentioned ia connection with the Presidency he is better known!. better tried.im{)re popular, than any of them, and therefore more likely to succeed” - e ‘

. THE FACTS AS CALLED FOR. A Card from Treasurer Shaw Cencermng the '§(ute Lom‘n." G To the Editor of the Indianapolls Sentinel. Slr.—My attention has been called anumber of times ‘to the following paragraph copied in yesterday’s Journal : v : . £ A CALL FOR THE FACTS: : i ; (Steaben Republican.) s The Indiana State Treasurer is in New York—or was lately there—for the purpose of, “putting on the market” 510 one thousand dollar bonds, issued as a temporary loan for State purposes. ‘Quite a number of our intelligent taxpayers would like to learn what kind of reform management has made it necessary for our State to run in debt some half a million at a lick. Let the facts be known. ,

I have been laboring under the impression that it was generally' known that the transaction aboye referred to was made to pay a maturing debt, but as it seems all do not u;nderstzmd it; permit me to say tl'n'ough your paper to the people. Qf"the State, that a loan made three years :igo authorized by an act of the General Assembly, approved March 10th, 1873, becomes due and payable in New York: to the amount of $510,000. The maturing bonds are known as the “three year temporary loan, 7 per cent. bonds.” To meet this and other loans made ‘under thesame act, the last Legislature passed an amendment to the act above referred to, giving the State Board authority to make loans, to pay the loans made in pursuance ‘of the original act of 1873, and for no other purpose. Therefore, vtb’e transaction referred to by the Steuben Republican amounts to an exchahg_e only of a like amount of three year 6 per cent. bonds for the 7 per cent. now maturing. I hope this explanation will be a. satisfactof‘y answer to this “call for the facts.” L BeC.SHAWL L : Treasurer of State.

- The country was startled last Thursday morning by the anneuncemént thiata calamity like that which happened on Mill River in 1874 was impending over'the pleasant, prosperous city of Worcester, Mass. It was reported that a break had been discovered in the dam at Lynde Brook Reservoir, where from 650,000,000 to 750,000,000 gallons of water were storeél, and waﬁ and embankment were expected to give w:i'.y every moment, During the af: ternoon dispatches were received asserting that all danger was gver, and public anxiety somewhat abated; but in the evening came’ the announcement that the dam had suddenly given way, and that the wildest rumors were afioat. As communication with Worcester was not easy, there was an interval of dreadful suspense, which ‘was relieved when the news began to pour in late at njght. | Full details in regard to the situation of the reservoir and its construction and the." final breaking away of the waters, will be found below, and to them rather than any commentary on the disaster ithe reader will naturally tutn.

W ORCESTER, Mass., March 30th.— At 6330 this: evening the Teservoir dam at this. place gave way with a great crash. The spiling wall crumbled, letting off 750,000,000 gallons of \\"ztteraﬁtored behind. The water rughed down the ravine with a terrible. roar in assolid mass twenty feet high. ; Tirst in the line of the sweeping flood was the_st‘one waste-gate house. When the flood struck this 1t tottered; then ‘ the key-stone of the arch dropped out. A corner of the building next gave way, followed’ by the wooden roof, which was swept oriward until drawn into a whirlwind, when it was crush--ed to mateh-wood and thrown into the air. The gate house was tipped over, and not even astone réemained. Down through a narrow ravine, a ‘hundr d feet wide and one mile long, the ﬂQEd’ swept.. The sides were fair]y-duig' out clean in an instant for fifty feet until the edge of the ‘embankment was almost perpendicular. Through' the pine woods on one side of the ravine the water tore the/laygest trees up by the roots. They were twisted around like straws, and pulled up by roots, and carried onward down the decline. The flood tore out evex‘yﬁhing in the ravine, and .rushed ‘onward to" the highway below. A large barn was taken up bodily and carried about fifty feet; When it struck a tree and was .b'rokenz to pieces. - Xegxt was G. W. Onley’s dwelling ‘ho.urseg, one of. the finest in: the village. " The rushing mass struck the broadside, and completely cleared out the rear and front walls. The ends stood, and strange to say supported the roof under which t‘lire water poured .in a solid stream twenty feet high and thirty wide. When the dam first-broke the gap was aliout'twenty feet in width. This increased . rapidly after the water had once gained a passage through it, and continued to increase until nearly the entire section, which was eighty feet in width, had been destroyed. The ravine be{ng narrow, however, held theilw_uter back, and the water continued to run for three hours before the I'eservoi‘l",- was exhausted, and the worst of the danger at Cherry Valley, the first village encountered, was over. A. small cottage housé stood on the opposite side of the road from Mr. Onley’s. This was taken up whole, ~whirléd around on the surface like a top for a time, and then down into the water. /| Three or four other small -dwelling-houses were taken up and _borne along until they crashed together and sink out of sight. ©|/

The watey' from the reservoir reached Kettle Brook, and a vast amount of watér swept -across the pond and struck a line beyond, and was turned down toward Cherry Valley, Jamesville, Leesville, (Stoneville and Worcester. ' Smith & Co.’s. wollen mill stood at the head of this pond. In front of it was a dam which had. withstood many a severe test, but crumbling under the immense pressure brought upon if, gave way, and the waters of the pond were added to! the already uncontrollable mass. The! mill, a substantial brick - structure, was next struck and erumbled until three-fourths of the building was in ruins, and the water was sweeping through what was left standing. A short distance beélow was the Bottomly Mill, operated by A. E. Smith. This wa% a wooden struecture, about fifty feet sqnare, which stood below a dam which held the waters of a pond above. ' When the waters struck: this, it gave way, and the waters of the pond served to still further increase the vast amount which was already sweeping destruction before it. The mill was next struck and lifted bodily to the top of the rushing waters. On it was swept at a terrific rate, whirling and turning in all directions until it struck Ashworth & Jones’ mill. This was the best mill on the' stream and one of the best in the country. It was a substantial briek structure, 4 stories high, with an ell for a boilerhouse. The Bottomly mill struck this ell with terrible force, knocking it to pieces. ‘The Bottomly was as completely demolished by the shock as though it had fbeeh blown up with dynamite, and ifothing more was seen which could be recognized as the mill standing but a moment before. The boiler-house of Ashworth & Jones’ mill wus .ruined in an instant, and one end of the main structure wusswept away. * The boiler was taken up and carried along as though it was a shingle in a mill stream. Soon an explosion ‘was heard above the roar of the flood, and a stream of water was thrown several:feet above the surface of the curfent . Another ex-. plosion followed and another, until | five had occurred, and the boiler was blown to piecgs. Mr. Jones also lost a. large barn, which had béen ecrushed like an egg-shell. e ‘Several other mills were swept out’ between the reservoir and New Worcester, nine miles below, the waters occupying three hours in the passage. The first mile, however, was made in three minntes,:. = o At Jaynesville the embankment of the Boston and New Albany Road. washed away, cgiri'yihg with it the depots and surrounding buildings. = " No loss of life has been reported, and the dnnger is entirely pussed.

A BRUTAL STEP-FATHER. Two Littie Boys Turned ont to Per_ish in the Cold—One of Them . - . Frozen to Death, = “TERRE HAUTE, IND., March 29th.— There is a great excitement in, Clark county, Illinois, over a diabolical affair which has just'been perpetrated. During the bad weather of one of the late stormy ngghts; a man named Cottrell, who has been residing for some time in Melrose township, drove tlie children of his second wife into the storm. They were pretty-near without clothing, and notwithstanding-the bitter cold started for their uncle’s, in Crawford county. When some ten miles: below jtheir home, in Clark county, the younger of the two. boys gave out-and laid down in the road. His brother succeeded in getting him upon a piece of ground free from snow and ice, and leaving him went on until he got to the house of a gentleman by the name of James Hand, where he was taken in, and as soon as’he wds able to tell his story was induced to do so. "His step-father had been in the habit of beating him and his brother whenever they told anything of his mistreatment, and it was some time before hie would consent to tell of his own and his brother’s suffering. About this time a Mr. Sackrider came up, having found the younger brother dead, where. the elder had left him. An inquest was held, and the j'ury-returngd a verdiet that the child came to his death through the brutal treatment of his step-father. ' It. was with difficulty that the community 'was restrained from Ilynching. him.. Cottrell] has been lodged in the Clark county jail. |

WE, remember' being ia mneed of money :in 1856,¢and 'borrowing $lOO, ‘for the use of which we paid the first year’s interest in advance, at the rate ‘of ten per cent. receiving in fact but $9O. Though that was above the legal ‘rate of ‘interest, it was the usual rate indirectly paid, and we cannot now recollect of hraving borrowed at any less since. The greenhack speaks. er last week, dilated at terrible length, upon the disasters accruing in the ‘country on account.of the increasing rates of interest.. Interest is we think entirely too high, disproportionate to the profits of gther business, but the’ charge that it has been increased in l the last few years, and has thereby stopped: the wheels of business, is about as preposterous an assertion as could well be made. = There is more money advertised to loan at nine per cent.” than was ever: known, within our memory.
