Ia 1882 / published In the Mound Val
Icy Herald, under the caption "Ruasia
and America" the following article,
which will DO observed embraces all the
features Of the sub-treasury bill, moas-
uro which has become famous aB q sub
ject demanding Congressional Legislation:
According 30 a letter OF recent date from
our consul At Russia, one Of the demands Of
tho nihilists is tho loan Of money from their
government on their grain. Il 10 claimed
that their money loanors charge them, not
only oxorbitant rates OF interest, but as
soon as the crop Is thrashed, they demand
payment and force the peasant TO sell his
grain at much less than II costs 10 produce
IL. no prevent this injustice 10 the farmer,
tho nihilists want tho government 10 CON
struct warehouses; and receive tho grain,
and loan them ubles 10 tho amount Of 10
por cont. Of its value, and then when the
crop Is sold the government shall reimburse
itself for interest and storage, and the bal
ance Of tho proceeds Of tho sale goes 10 tho
peasant.
This would not bo bad system for tho
farmers Of tho United States. Suppose the
government would construct a warehouse In
each county AZ a central location, or In the
cities for that matter, and would receive the
grain Of tho farmers at the warehouse or at
tho nearest railroad station and advance
them loans 10 tho extent OF 80 per cent Of
tho market value. This would enable the
farmer 10 hold his grain, and whom tho
grain shall have been sold At prices 10 JUS
tiiy production, then lot tho government re-
imburso itself for transportation, storage
and interest on the loan Of money upon Che
grain al a low rate, and the balance remain
ing of the proceeds Of the sale, be returned
10 the farmer producing the grain.
This system would enable the farmer TO
hold his crops until the market would iusti-
fy a sale with fair remuneration TO labor
and while tho government Is assisting near
ly all other branches of our industrial syS-
tenn, why not assist the farmers, who consti-
tuto an industry employing more labor than
all the other industries combined.
