ABOUT SECURITY.

Shall the Money Sharks or the Govern.
ment Supply the Peoples Needs?
If you go to a nelghbor to borrow
money he either demands personal in.
dorsement or takes your crop, live stock
or real estate as security. If your note
is accepted without security it is be.
cause you are worth in reality or per.
sonalty more unicumbered property
than your exemptions. If personal
security is accepted it is because your
indorser is worth more realty or per.
sonally than his exemptions. Approved
security at bank means the signature
of man who is worth property in suf
ficient amounts over and above exemp
tions to cover all the risk of the loan.
This clearly shows that after all land,
or the products of land, are by their
natural fitness made the basis of all
loans Then why such wild hurrah
about making this same security a
basis of government loans? It would
deal out greater satisfaction under the
alliance proposition than now, for two
reasons:
First, It would be made an actual
bona fde security in the way of a col.
lateral This would be more substan.
tial assurance to the creditor (the gov
ernment) than it now is to the individ.
ual.
Second, It would be a great relief
to the debtor because of the privilege
to borrow at two per cent It is not
the ten or twelve per cent. interest
exacted by private money lenders which
makes their security good. The same
security exacted by the government at
the actual cost of issuance would be
just as proof as it now is. But it is
proposed to- make the government
doubly safe by actually placing within
it's custody the collateral security.
It is only a question of whether OF
not the government will surrender its
power in the premises to selfish specu.
lators. Shall money sharks be licensed
to constitute themselves intercessors
between the government and the PEG.
pie? Or will the people say that the
government shall serve their needs?-

1T HAS BEEN TRIED.

The Use of Land as q Basis For Money IL
Not New and Untried Experiment.
The demands of the Farmers AL
lance for government loans upon land,
at two per cent. interest, is no new or
untried scheme. The same thing
worked admirably in the early history
of Pennsylvania It met with unquali-
fed success in the state of New York,
and its success has never ceased to be a
matter of congratulation to the people,
who loaned their school money to
farmers with the very best results.
In Oregon the thing is now in vogue,
and if we are to believe reliable, I'M
biased authorities the people of Oregon
are abundantly satisfied that the
principle of making government loans
of money, direct to the people is not
only safe, but very desirable one to
put in operation. OF course, every
proposition to loan the people their
own credit in the form of treasury
notes at a low rate of interest, has al.
ways met with the violent opposition
of bankers, who are loaning (theiy
debts) at high rate of interest. Bank.

notes (bank debts) were much safer
and better, at high rate of interest,
than the treasury notes at low rates OF
interest. Self interest has made them
ardent advocates of the rather equivo.
cal proposition that government credit,
loaned at bank counters at high rates
of interest for the benefit OF
the banks, is much safer
and better for the people than the same
government credit loaned over treas
ury counters directly to the people, al
low rates of interest!
Fifty years ago Switzerland passed
through much the same ordeal that the
farmers of the United States are now
enduring. Bank issues of money at
usurious rates of interest had impov.
erished the people. They were mort
gagged heavily, and there was pros
pect that the usurers would soon take
the lands in settlement of the mort
cages. Then the patriotism of Stampli
suggested a remedy. A government
bank was established. The public
credit was printed on notes, and these
notes were loaned to the farmers on
mortgages running thirty years at so

up. Shylock kicked, but of no avail
The people were relieved, and they
have since been happy and prosperous,
because they had the sense to see that
they could use their own credit for
money and profit by the transaction

Melting Iron by Electricity.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 1S.-Alvin Dings, the
electrician of the Great Falls work, has
just perfected method by which iron can
be melted by electricity st half the cost and
in half the time required by the present
process. BY the new method the iron is
secured in condition 100 per cent. nearer
pure than in the old way. This is the pro-
cess. Electrical connections are made to
the cupola in which the iron to be melted
is placed, then a strong current of electri-
city is sent through the iron forming arcs
at each electrode. This produces intense
heat, which melts the iron rapidly. Dings'
method does away with the use of coke,
lime and sand. 1t is undoubtedly a great
advance on the present method. and as soon
as the necessary patent rights are secured,
will be pushed on larger scale.
