Land Loans In England One Of the
Most Important Measures
Which Passed the Last
Parliament
Parliament

The idea Of using real estate as the
basis for the issue of an increased
amount of government money for the
use Of all the people, grows in favor as
! it becomes better understood. Not only
will it supply the fifty dollars per capita
of circulation now demanded by all the
farmer and labor organizations of the
country, but by enabling farmers and
others to refund their mortgages at
lower rates Of interest it will enable
them to pay for and keep their homes
In addition to other evidence before
given as to the practicability OF the
plan, I will offer one more item, not as
yet generally known. Within a few
days word comes to us from across the
water that one of the large land owners
Of Ireland has concluded to divide up
his large estate, valued at nearly two
million dollars, and sell it to his tenant
farmers under the new land loan law Of
England. This was one of the most
important measures which passed the
last parliament, being a plan to enable
the Irish tenant to purchase his home.
It passed in the house of commons,
June Is, by-a vote of 225 to SO, or a
majority of 129.
The measure provides that the British
government shall advance the money
needed to buy out the landed estates,
and allows the tenants to purchase their
holdings by paying annual iustallments.
To this end Sl65, 900 900 is to be ap-
propriated. The purchasing tenants
will be required to pay such INSTALL
ments as will complete their payments
in forty.nine years. AS fast as INSTALL
ments are paid the money is to be used
in other purchases.
In payment for the lands the govern.
ment is to issue to the owners stocks or
bonds at q per cent, and payable in
not less than thirty years.
This is. to all intents and purposes,
government loan on real estate, and if
Great Britain can make such loans to
free the Irish tenantry from landlord
ism, might not the government of the
United States make similar loans to free
the American farmer from shylock9-

cepted Mr.. Tilden's views.
How different is this sort Of states
manship from the present teaching Of
Wall street. The same government
which had the power to keep at par in
1879 paper then outstanding to the
amount of $40 to 81 Of gold and silver,
has like power to keep silver at par

Banking and bond dealing narrows
the mind and circumscribes the vision
Of the class who engage in them to such
degree as to deaden their conception
of the greatness of our country.
Our American industries and inter-
ests have come loftily to overtop those
which are controlled by the system Of
finance obtaining in Europe. We have
a right to financial system Of our own.
We sell to all that continent, as we'll
as to all the rest os the world, largely
more than we buy. Every year we re-
ceive more money by many millions
than we pay away. Yet we are made
to stand in perpetual fear and awe Of
London money market. We look upon
every occasional outgo of gold with
imbecile terror. 1t is the teaching Of
Wall street, whose masters in London
survey our tredidation with lazy
contumely.
The American people are growing
tired Of the humiliating spectacle in
which they are made thus to figure
They desire divorce Of our national
treasury from Wall and Lombard streets
and declaration Of American indie
pendence in finance. The treasury hal
been the principal agency for ten year
past in fostering this foreign system o
finance upon the country, and the pop
ular determination now is that its pow

A gentleman who has made several

fecting a new Journal bearing for rail-

is from what is technically known as a

view with an official of a company which
was to take up the invention.
The interview took place at the home
OF the inventor, and his daughter, a
Young lady we'll ON in her teens, sat in
IN adjoining room, where she overheard
all that was said.
Although she listened intently she did
not understand all the details of the
conversation, but that she was much i'm
pressed by what she did hear was shown
by the fact that the next day she con-
fided to an aunt that the family was on
the eve of great success.
Il heard papa telling Mr.. Blank all
about his new invention last night" she
explained, land Mr.. Blank said there
was fortune in H."
"But what sort of an invention is it?'
her aunt inquired,
The girl put her head thoughtfully on
one side for moment.
II am not quite sure" she answered
trying to recall the talk which she had
overheard the day before, "but think
that papa has invented new kind of hot
box."-Youth's Companion.

About the Circus.

MIR. EDITOR:
| see there IL circus coming to
town and as quite a number of people
come to an office with their tale of woe
after circus, perhaps little advice before
circus would be much better than any
thing one could say or do afterwards
Don't take too much money with you, only
what you need and take such money as
halves, quarter, and dimes. When you
purchase your ticket give the agent til,
charge yourself.
Don't change Large money" for
strangers for you can not tell counterfeit
from genuine and they make change in
such way that you will get left every
time, as that is their object. And above
all things don't gamble by the shell game
or any other game of chance, as every
game they have is their own game and
not yours, and those who have once tried
it we'll know it.
Remember what tell you. ID Dnt give
the ticket agent five dollar bill when
you buy you ticket, don't change money
for any stranger and be sure and not
gamble for the shell game is only the old
three card monte game with more odds In
favor of the gambler Hoping you will
profit by these few words Of advice am
yours. Respectfully,

situated about three miles from town, on
the south side of the river, were totally
destroyed by fire at $50 A. NJ. Tuesday
last, together with the entire contents OF
oain, sacds, etc, farming tools and NOW
Ing machine. The buildings consisted OF
nice two story house, fine barn and
other out-buildngs. In the house a
greater portion of the contents on the
first floor were saved.
The loss is estimated at 100000, with
an insurance of 100000.
The direct cause of the fire is mys-
terry, but supposed to have been caused
from defective chimney, as Mr.. Antill
was in the barn milking and upon return
ing found the kitchen ablsze.
