Government LOans to Farmers.

Recently the Chicago Tribune spoke
of ihe scheme of loaning money to farm
ersby the government, as contemplated
by the bill sent to Senator Cullom, by
the Illinois farmers, as "ridiculously inn
possible" But the Chicago Tribune
doesn't know 1t all, by any means. When
the people make up their minds to have
it that way, it will not only not be "ridic-
ulously impossible" but will be very
earnestly, dignifedly and in the tremend-
GUS consequences to the whole country,
Bublimely possible. And the people are

among all, save those who belong TO the
associations. Was this indebtedness and
impoyerishment brought on by tho COM
petition among the masses or by the OK
tortion OF the associations?
What the advocates Of competition
claim is this:
Had there never been such q thing as
a monopoly Of the destruction OF competi-
tion in any part Of tho field Of industry,
there would never have been a long prac-
ticed one-slded fixing Of prices. On the
contrary, all would have Jared alike in
regard TO profit sharing and tho present
unequal distribution Of wealth would
have been an abuse unknown. Nor
would the present inequality Of profit
sharing continue, they say, were the
monopolies abolished and competition
made common betwiXt all.
This, they say is the process thatwould
take place as soon as IL was made impos-
sible for men 10 combine and crush out
competitors The people would begin
TO desert the poorer paying pursuits for
the better paying pursuits Qessen the
competition in the poorer paying and in
crease itin the better paying) and con-
tinue 80 TO do until there wero no poorer
paying pursuits to leave or paying pur-
suits TO enter, or, as otherwise expressed,
until all pursuits were rendered equally
well paying in proportion to labor and
capital engaged. That is TO say, the dis
position Of man is such as TO load him TO
work out his own salvation IL only the
artificial distractions with which he is
at present environed are removed,
The advocates Of this principle say
further, that when pursuits have, under
the process just referred to, been brought
to an average Of proatableness, Competi
tlon will be no longer intense; that In
tensity Of competition is the result Of
con6nlng it to a portion Of the commun-
nity--the result Of crowding the people
out Of those avocations the monopolists
choose to appropriate unto themselves
and forcing them into the remaining avo-
cations, thereby creating a surplus Of
people in the latter.
They claim, further, that as the poorer
paying pursuits, under natural condi-
tions, ere the over-supplying pursuits
and the better paying pursuits are the
under-supplying pursuits, when we had
equalization in the one sphere we would
have it also in the other that equaliza-
tion Of supply and demand, both the in
evitable result Of a general and all wide
competition, are unavoidably inseparable.
Supposing them to be right, lot us see
now what these two equalizations mean.
They mean, frst an entire absence Of that
phenomenon commonly styled "over-
production" +" consequently no glut Of the
markets, no languishing Of trade, no
shut downs for want of orders and no
idleness of men. They mean in the
second place, as good a rate orprofitable-
ness in one pursuit as in another, conse-
uuently the avoidance Of cause for com
plant, the common and progressive
enrichment Of the people and the max
imum amount Of human happiness. 1t

"a. The samo state Of affairs exists In

Now, want this inquiry 70 30 beyond

We resumed specie payments In 1870.
From that time on, Il the normal coudi-

what IL was) knew that he had 70 raise
more this year than the year before to
make the same revenue.
Mr. President, the figures are absolute
ly startling when you consider the condi
tlon Of the country now compared with
1870. In 1880 the wheat crop Of this
country was only 100000 bushels more
than the wheat crop now There were, J.
say, only 100000 bushels more Of the
wheat crop in 1880 than now, but the
wheat crop Of 1880 was worth 9t90,0OO,-
600 more than the wheat crop last year,
In 1882 the corn crop was substantially
5O0,OOO,OO0 bushels less than II Ia now,
and It was worth 81sOOOOOO more than
the crop last year
That Is what tells on the farmer, That
10 what makes this disOcntent and this
trouble. The farmer who bought a farm
In 1850 and expected TO pay for 1t In corn
or wheat finds that for every 100 bnsh0l
he sold then no must sell now from i35
to 140 bushels TO realize the Same amount
OF money II he wants to sell pork he
must sell 80 per cent more pork than he
sold then 10 realize the same amount Of
money. SO you may take II through the
entire range Of farm products.
i do not propose this morning to 90 In
to details, but do propose within few
days TO present 10 the senate what /
believe will DO the most startling array
Of figures upon this question that has
ever been presented. The farm mort
gage that represented $1,000 in 1880, rep
resents St,35O to-day in round numbers,
made so, In my judgment, in my careful
and deliberate judgment, by the financial
policy of the government Of the United
States. Is II any wonder that when the
man who put $1,000 mortgage on his
forty acres finds It to-day S1,85O, and
finds all interests prosperous except the
producing element, when he finds that

The Senate, In committee Of tho
whole, resumed the consideration Of the
bill Is. 1lsl.) to require the superintend-
ent Of the census 10 ascertain what per
centage Of the people own their farms
and the number Of farms under mortgage
and the amount thereof
Mr. Teller Mr. President, do not be-
lieye that this inquiry, made In the form
presented In this bill, will be Of sufficient
value to Justify putting 1t on the census,
and jeopardizing the character Of the
census, II It attempted to complete the
census within the time suggested by the
census committee.
/ think the inquiry, which has been
presented in general torms by the bill
ought TO bo made, and we ought 10 go
beyond that. TO simply determine what
the fam indebtedness may be will not
determine what the difficulty Is or put us
in position 10 determine what Is the
difficulty which lies ut the bottom Of this
matter. What we want TO know is why
these mortgages are put on the farms.
If a young man, going to start whether
in the old part Of the country or the new
Is immateral, without capital, is dlspos-
cd to risk the buying Of farm on credit,
and he executes mortgage, that has no
relation whatever TO the financial condi-
tion OF the farmers az class. He is
simply attempting to make home-to
acquire farm by his labor and future
prospects. II this inquiry is TO be made
at all, II must be directed 10 the reason
why the mortgage Is put upon the farm.
We must know whether it is pur-
chase-money mortgage or whether II Is to

Mr. President, / agree with the senator
from Missouri Mr.. Vest who spoke
yesterday as TO the condition Of the farm
ing interests Of this country, to some ex-
tent, at least. / agree with him that there
IL great discomfort / agree with him
that the members Of that most valuable
class Of society are largely being educat-
cd by some means into the belief that
they are not receiving their due share Of
the increased wealth Of the country. /
think that notion is prevalent everywhere
in this country, and am bound to say,
after somewhat careful examination of
the subject, that believe that complaint
is well founded. The senator from Mis-
souri, will attribute the lack on the part
Of the farmers TO receive all that they
ought, to one cause, or perhaps two
causes, but he would promptly put for
ward reason which / discard and do not
believe exists.
The condition Of the United States is
not singular The agriculturists of the

plain Of. II was proved before the
British commission recently that the
farmers of that country in twelve years
had sunk more than one-half Of their
capital. It cannot be attributed there to
protective tariff. There the farmer is

the door Of either free trade or q prOtec-
tive tariff. The only farmer today, in
