have heard every kind of reason
given for our hard time*, and a*
cause* of our alow recovery. But
I have never heard the real one:
That’s that interest Is too high.
The world and about everybody
in it are broke from paying too
high Interest. No man should re
ceive more for the “hire” of his
money than he could take It and
earn with it himself, and tor the
last three years there has been
nothing that he could have made
men 1 per cent, on ft outside of
loaning It. The banks all', failed
because the interest people owed
'em wot- larger than the principal.
What would be the matter 'with
banking on a real percentage
baste, the banker receiving in in
terest In accordance to what the
borrower makes on the baa? If
he don't make anything, he don't
pay anything.
Well, that’s about aM for today.
