THE GOVERNMENTS DUTY
TO FURNISH MONEY ON
PROPER SECURITY.


the California Senator's Generous
ana Comprehensive Opinions
on the Money Question.
Editorial Correspondence San Francisco Argonaut.
Intent upon the object of proselyt.
ing with the members of congress in
the direction of the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver, l approached
our senior senator to ascertain his
views To my surprise, l ascertained
that Senator Stanford not only fav.
ored the free coinage of silver, but
be left the impression on my mind
that he entertained still more gen.
erous and comprehensive opinions
in reference to increasing the circu,
lating currency of the country.
Senator Stanford said that it was
the duty Of government to issue cur
rency upon the value of real prop.
erty, or to authorize the establish.
ment of national banks with power
to put legal tender notes in circula
tion upon such security, which should
be guaranteed in their redemption by
the treasury of the United States
and why no.? He says if a national
bank purchases bonds issued by the
general government, and, to the ex.
tent of 80 cents on the dollar, is
authorized to put notes in circulation
as currency, of which the general
government guarantees the payment,
if bullion from the gold mines may
be taken to the mint and have its
value fixed by the impression of a
die if silver bullion may be accord.
ed free coinage because of it's stand
ard and fineness, why may not a
farm or town property OF estab.
lished, fixed and certain value I've
used as the basis of sound and
beautiful currency?
II can see no reason" he says
"why land or town property, having
attained permanent value as indi-
Gated by the assessors estimate, or
ascertained by impartial valuators,
might not be used as currency with
as much confidence AS the paper Oh.
legations of government or as the
metals produced from miaes."

Bank Notes Secured by Land.

"Senator Sianford's ideas for permanent
nasis for circulating notes issued by national
banks is the assessed value ofreal estate. 1t
is hardly likely to impress many people
fayorably. No asset is so hard to realize on
in time Of depression, as real estate, and a
form of currency that is 10 be national and
not wild cat in its character ought to be
secured, as far as possible, by absolute
uniformity of value.
Government bonds if they cannot be the
perpetual basis, should furnish the pattern
for the security to be used after they are re-
deemed. No essential quality that they
possess should be missing in their successor,
ana one Ct the essential qualities of govern
ment bonds as form of security is that
their volume is within the regulation of the
central government. Real estate might ap.
proach them in this respect, if the Henry
George idea were realized to the full, but
any such day as that is far distant. The
best substitute for bonds as security for
bank currency is that which has been in
dorsed by leading statesmen and bankers
who hove no cranky hobbies to ride. Press,
New York.
And thus echoes and re, echo the sqreat
dailies," the voice Of the money kings whose
'hcbbies" have been the willing wealth
producers whom they have ridden almost to
death. And what does the government
want with the real estate?" Why should
il "realize" on il? 1.-THE government issues
50 900 000, 000 and says this money shall be
payable for all debts among 65COO,OOO of
people, who will refuse the money? Sup
pose, as Senator Stanford's bill proposes,
that the government should loan some of
this money on real estate at per cent, the
most it could ever require would be the
interest. What use has government for
money except to pay its current expenses,
and it collects this amount every year. Far
better it should be a lender than borrower
The proposed new dispensation is the
simplest Thing imaginable. In place OF
turning The Industrial class oyer to be prey.
ed upon by the shy locks, it shall take the
place of shylcck, and aid the industrial
class instead of robbng them as has been
the practice. Let government address itself
to lowering the rate of interest and protect
ing the producers of all wealth, in place of
their plunderers.
1t has been using every means that could
be employed by government for 10 these
many years, in assisting wealth to despoIl
labor, and building up millionaires in place
OF building up the la6oriug masses.

The Farmers MOVING,

This phrase has become almost stereo-
typed. 1t forms the headline of many of
the daily papers. The farmers are either
moving or talking of moving everywhere.
The last movement is reported from Penn
sylvania in the Times of Monday. which
paper says:
''The farmers of Montgomery county will.
hold convention in Norristown on Thurs
day next 10 form a permanent organic ition
of the farmers of that county as IA prelim.
mary step toward a united organization of
the farmers of Montgomery, Bucks, Chester
and Delaware counties. The object of this
movement is to concentrate the eforts of the
farmers of those counties for the attainment
of the relief needed to restore agricultural
industry to its old time prosperity"
The same paper commenting ON this
movement" puts the following suggestive
question to those moving farmers:
"Tney could elect three-fourth of the
congressman Of the STATE; they could elect
foui-Efths of our Legislature; they could
elect the Governor and every State officer
at any time that they decided TO do so TO
efface oppressive laws, and why don't they
do it?
The Editor following up this strain Of
reproof continues:
"Other industries unite and force even the
most grotesque and impracticable laws from
Congress and Legislatures in the interest of
labor, and all of these laws, so far as thew
are possible of execution, add to the cost of
| farm labsr; but the farmers sit idly by and
vote the tIokpt from,
CARELESS of thei: own interests"
And concludes with the following patent
truth:
''lf the farmers shall do so inst one year,
they will elect the next Governor, ali
State officers. with a large majority of our
Congressman and members OF the Legisa-
lnre, and they will get the relief they need.
II they shall not do so, they should cease
complaining about mistoftunes which ar
entirely Of their own creation"
This is not only true of Pennsylvania but
of every other State. But if the farmers
adopt this policy it involves death to 5o,h
The old parties. The farming interest is
directly opposite to the policy which the
leading political parties have pursued and
which they advise. Cleveland did suggest
some modification in the import duty laws,
but there was but little change suggested
after all, notwithstanding the hubbub kick
ed up by the politicians. The financial
laws are where the great evil has sprung
from and both the old parties are hand and
glove with the gold ring. CIevelard's Sec
rotary of the Treasury was one of them aud
so was Cleveland, who was anx ious for the
sloppage OF the coinage of $2.0OO,O 900 a
month Of silver dollars. The old parties
are completely under control of the gold
ring, monopolies, combines, trusts and
whskey and beer Associations, and the
hand writing is surely on the wall that they
have been weighed and found wanting.

Senator Plumb of Kansas said

Senator Plumb of Kansas said in
a speech before the U. S. Senate on
Monday that there was less than
$700,000,000 of circulation for the
use of the 65,OCO,OO0 of people of
the United Subsequently, not
more than ten dollars per capita.
This is much worse than has been
generally believed, the sum having
been placed at about Is hundred
million. When it is estimated that
so hundred millions would be none
to much circulation with which to do
the business of the country the cause
of hard times is not far to look for.

The theory has been that government
should borrow from bankers and the rest of
the Jew gold ring and collect interest from
the people to pay the money aristocracy.
A Sigh. change is proposed, which is to
collect interest-or taxes-from the people
and use them for paying the government
expense, and cease handing them over to
brokers and bondho!ders. And why not?
Why is the 346 millions of greenbacks now
in circulation and which have been in cir
culation since 1868 as good as British gold?
Because the governmet and producing
classics declare they are. The bankers have
used every means to discredit them, and
have utterly failed.

follows: The doctor took us on Sunday
afternoon to his club-whose name,

that may be. on this side we were in
Japan without mistake. We sat on the
steps and had our shoes taken off, &C
cording to the Japanese fashion, so as
not to injure mats, and we could hear
during the operation long wailings, high
notes and the piercing sound of flutes
and stringed instruments; the, ,curiously
sad rhythm mingled with background
of high, distinct defamation. We walked
noise, forgetting that in our stocking
feet we could have made none had we
wished, and we found the doctors place
reserved for him and us, and marked
with his name, writ large.
Other low boxes, with sides no higher
than our elbows as we sat on the mats,
divided the sloping floor down to the
