AN ACT AUTHORIZING LOAN OF CERTAIN
MONEYS BELONGING TO THE UNITED STATES
DEPOSITED WITH THE STATE OF NEW YORK
FOR SAFE KEEPING.
Passed April 4, 1887.
You will please notice that the title Of the
law shows that il is money belonging to the
United States. and that the state Of New
York is loaning it to farmers on real estate
security and that it has been carried on over
FIETY-s1x years, and yet our republican
friends tell us that our proposed scheme Of
having the government issue money and
loan it to farmers is wild and impossible.
After examining the New York law do
not see how the loaning can be done suc-
Cessfully under it, as it is not properly
framed and the system laid down in it is
not good, yet they have been operating it
over half a century and this is rather con-
vinoing testimony that they get along with
it. This simply shows that theories amount
10 nothing when placed beside the actual
facts.
