How the Country Looks.

Editor Grange Aduance: l took a
short drive into the country on Saturday
to Featherstone prairie. The road has
been greatly improved recently in the
valley this side of Trippe's hill, having
been substantially graded, with culverts
under it wherever necessary. The part
between the tannery and the city, how
ever yet needs improvement, being very
rough.
Some OF the wheat will be harvested
this week; all I think, by the last of
next. The heads are large and well
filled and tie berry plump and heavy,
and the yield every where in this vicin-
ity will apparently be above average.
The barely crop has been harvested. 1t
is said to be most excellent and has been
saved in good condition. The oat crop,
too, is represented to be unusually pro-
life.
The wives of the farmers in this re.
gion seem to take pride, and they Ger.
tainly display good deal of taste, in
ornamenting their houses and house
yards. All appear to have croquet
grounds and means to enjoy pleasure
and Tighten their cares and labors.

Our correspondent is right in his ar
guments, but if he will read the article
on this subject which we publish in an
other column he will understand why
we object to taxing money loaned. We
would like to see interest reduced so
low that money could be pro6tably bor-
rowed for investment in business enter.
prise, hence, we object to all legislation
which tends to maintain high rates of
interest. His last proposition is true.
1t is the productive labor of the country
that pays all the taxes although these
are nominally assessed on property and
its representatives.

taxing Mortgages.
FARIDAUL7, July Goth, 1877

FAR1DAUL7, July Goth, 1877.
Ed. Grange Advance: In late
number Of the ADVANCE noticed some
editorial comments on the action of the
city council Of Red Wing, in relation to
the taxation Of mortgages, which I think
were not we'll considered. have not the
papers at hand at this writing, but my
recollection of the article is that YOU de.
precated the idea of taxing money
loaned GU mortgages, first, because it
was double taxation, the borrower being
taxed on the mortgaged premises, as
we'll as the owner Of the mortgage; and,
next, because eventually the tax must
be paid by the borrower, as the lender
will require a higher rate of interest il
he is obliged to pay taxes on money
loaned.
Taking your objections in their order,
remark, that the taxation is not double
on the individuals, as the borrower pays
taxes on one kind Of property and the
lender on another, and, further, that in
the so called taxatioLs of mortgages, it
is not the mortgage, which is only an
incident Of the debt, which is taxed, but
the note (which the mortgage secures.
Under our laws no one denies the pro
priety Of taxing unsecured evidences Of
OF debts, and does the fact that the pay
ment of debts is made secure make
them any less liable to taxation i?
Ii We consider money as not property
but only the representative CT property,
then all taxation Of money must be
double taxation, if not both property
and its representative. But our statutes
recognize taxable property in money,
and SO long as that is the case, it is GER
talnly as just to tax the lender for mon
ey loaned, the payment Of which is
made secure by Il mortgage, as it would
be to tux him for his money lying idle
or loaned without security.
If the time ever comes in this country
when money Can be borrowed at so low
a rate Of interest that it can be used to
advantage in the ordinary business
transactions of merchants, manufac.
turers and others, it may be an advan-
tage to relieve it from taxation, but IN.
der present circumstances it would be
double taxation in earnest, if the own
ers of real estate should be obliged to
pay the money-lenders' share Of taxa
tions in addition to their OWE.
Your next objection is one that will
apply to all other personal property as
we'll as money for do not the merchants
and manufacturers add to their profits
or their prices I. sufficient sum to cover
their taxation on stock in trade, and
thus make their customers pay higher
prices in consequence? I have thus
hastily given views on matter to which
I have been obliged to give considerable
attention for some years past and if

Criltenden, Of Kentucky, was at
one time engaged in defending man
who had been.indicted for a capital
offence. After an elaborate and
powerful defence he closed his effort
with the following striking and beau
tiful ailegory: "When God in his
eternal council conceived the thought
Of mans creation, he called to him
the three ministers who wait con
stantly upon the throne-Justice,
Truth and Mercy and thus address
ed them: "Shail we make 2" Then
said Justice: Oh, God, make him
net, for he will trample upon the
laws Truth made answer also
'0h God, make him not, for he will
polute thy sanctuaries.' But Mercy,
dropping upon her knees, locking up
through her tears, exclaimed oh.
God. make him, ! will watch over
lin with my care through all the
dark paths which he may have to
treadn Then God made man, and
said to HIN: oh man, thou art the
cbil1 e mercy go and deal with
thy brother. " The jury, when he
had finished, were drowned ia tears,
ard against evidence, brought in a
verde. Of not guilty.

In the decline Of life, as the vigor OF the sys-
