Government Loars.

Frcquctly the question is asked,
''How will loans from tile government
assist the mechanic or day lal,orer?'
Let us investigate this matter little
and see. To-day in this country one
of the greatest evils that common Ia
lWrers and mechanics are rcapins from
the present financial stringency is the
lack of employ ment. To-day thous-
antls of willing hands can find nothing
to do, and their families are suffering
for the want Of even the simple neces-
stiles of life. Now let us see little
further. A direct loan to those who
could give imperishablc security.
would relieve this financial stringency
by greatly augmenting the amount of
the circulating medium and reducing
the amount of interest. The trouble
is that the rate Of interest is SO high
that money is withheld from needed
improvement and extensive repairs,
says the Workman and Farmer.
; Those farmers who owns farms are
compelled to hold their expenses
down to the lowest possible ebb, thus
employing the tailoring men only
when it is impossible to dispense with
his services IN the crop season. Ii
the amount Of money could be in.
creased by direct loan at low rate
of interest. tue farmer would feel tina,
he could pay the small rate of interest

ment Of his farm. Those thickests
