The Difference Illustrated.

Judge w. p. Hall of Louisiana in a
recent address before the State Agri-
cultural Society gave the following il
lustration to show the difference of
constitutional construction when the
bankers interests and the farmers in
tcrcsts are to bc subscrved:
Ten men having fifty thousand
dollars in United States bonds so to
the treasury department and their
spokesman says: we have fifty
thousand dollars in bonds. They are
a good paying investment, we don't
want to sell them, but need some
money to start and run II bank and
would like to deposit them and get
ninety per cent of their value, for
twenty years, i'll money Very WELL
says the treasury official, we will take
your bonds, pay you interest on them,
and let you have ninety per cent. of
their value in money, and charge you
tax of one per cent. and no interest.
"Thcy get their money, and as they
retire ten farmers step forward and
their spokesman says: we have each
made hundred bales of cotton worth
in all fifty thousand dollars, we don't
want to sell now when money is scarce
among buyers, the market gluttcd and
the price low, and would like to de-
post with you, and get so per cent.
of its value for six months or Il year,
to pay our debts and conduct our
farming
NO. says the polite official, I'VE
cannot let YOU have any money on
your cotton. Your representative in
Congress say it would be unconstitu-
tional and you ought not to ask it. 1t
is true, your cotton is just as good Sc
curity as bonds, and we have just let
these other gentlemen have ninety
per cent. of their bonds for twenty
years; but they say it would be UNI
constitutional to treat YOU in the same
manner. But you can take your cot
ton to these gclHlemen who have just
now got that money on their bonds at
one per cent. tax, and borrow from
them at eight per cent. interest, or if
they will not let You have it, take
Your cotton to a commission merchant
and he will take the receipts to these
gentlemen and get the money, and let
you have it at whatever rate you can
agree upon. This may seem little
strange to you, but it would be uncon-
stitutional and undcmocratic for YOU
to get the money direct from the gov
eminent, without paying tribute to
the national banks and he turns
away to other matters, and leaves the
farmers to wonder why it is constitu-
tional for the government to let the
banks have money upon bonds, and
unconstitutional to let them have it
upon cotton, when neither bank, bond
nor cotton is mentioned in any way
in the Constitution"
