WASHINGTON. Jan. I.-Pctfcr. alliance
senator from Kansas, today undertook
sorIe missionary work in states outside
the home of the alliance. He introduced
Il bill of purely alliance and paternal
character to secure loan by the ma
tional government of the sum of Sl0O,-
100000 to the people Of Indiana. The
preamble recites that the people of In
diana are laboring under a burden of
enormous interest charges made posi-
BILE by the great scarcity of money, the
direct result of legislation favoring cred
it-owning capitalists, hostile to the
wage e-earner and producer, resulting III
enforced mortgaging of lands in Indiana
to such an extent as To threaten their
loss. The bill itself authorizes the sec
rotary Of the treasury to issue treasur!
notes to the amount OF SlOoWN,'Wb
dollars These notes to be loaned to the
people of Indiana on Mortgages upon
their lands. Every one who accepts a
loan of this description is to give Il
promssory note for the amount and he
is limited in his borrowing to half of the
cash uation of his land. To secure Il
fair rate of interest on the money loaned
the governor of the state is to collect a
semi annual tax of one per cent. and
turn it into the treasury. When the
principal notes fall due if the pIomlssory
notes are unpaid the mortgage will be
forcclosed and the land sold If there is
no bidder for the tract of land it is to be
bid in for the United States and the
occupant be permiated to remain upon
it in consideration of the payment OF
rental equal to tax of . per cent. A
safeguard upon the issue of the treasury
notes under the terms of the bill is pro
vided in clause limiting their amount
to total not exceeding 800 per capita
for the whole country and not less than
$50 per capita for the whole population
of the state of Indiana.
Senator Hill of New York remained IN
his seat for an hour after adjournment
of the senate today. He was the object
of interest to the people who then hao
entrance to the hall and was much dis,
cussed and pointed at by little knots OF
spectators who gathered in the rear OF
the desks. He occupied the seat tor
merly filled by Senator Hampton OF
South Carolina, in the last row on IN Ihe
democratic side OF the chamber. Inc
new senator received measure OF vel
come not usually accorded to newcomers
in q conservative senate, for not ohiy
was he personally greeted by nearly a. ,
his democratic colleagues. but by many
republican senators.
