or malice to drive up the rate OF interest
to more than 400 per cent, and 10 renuer

In striking contrast to this career stands the
course of the Republican Administration

When the people come to contrast this hon

that of the latest Democratic Congress, Is there
any room to doubt about their verdict The

BY their unreasonable Outcrics agninst the plan

for themselves more humiliating defeat and
digging still deeper the grave Of their party.

only means of securing agrarian reform. The
stronger probability is that the Lords will con
tent themselves with amending the act. This
was what they did eleven years ago, render
ing some of the most important sections OF the
Reform act imperative. The various parts OF
the present bill are so delicately adjusted, es-
pecially those relating to Tenant Right, that
the machinery of the new system can be easily
nut ont of gear in the Upper House. This IS
perhaps the most serious danger which now
menaces the cause of land reform in the un-
