THE FARmsR's REAL GRIEVANCE.

Not "a Lack of Money In the Country, but
of Banking Facilities In Country Dis
trlcts-Mr. shearmans Proposed Rem
edy.
Why has Canada no currency ques-
ton, no cry for cheap money and no
campaign against gold? These are ques-
tions which Mr.. Thomas G.. Sherman
answers very effectively in the London
Times Of Sept. II.
Briefly summarized, Mr.. Shearman's
explanation Of the discomfort among
farmers, which has lead to the ridicu-
lous demand for froc silver is that most
farmers in the west and south are de-
prived Of the benefits of banking facili-
ties. They seldom see or use check
and are unacquaintcd with the benefits
Of banks and bank credits. For this
reason there is great scarcity Of cur
rency in most rural districts. The
country store" supplies i'll part and i'll
a crude and costly way the credits
which tide many farmers over from one
season to another Because of the great
risk involved, the storekeeper, by charg-
ing high prices for his goods and by
paying low prices for farm products,
really gets from 25 to 40 per cent inter-
est on the credits given to the farmers.
OF course such interest eats up all of
the profits of a large class of farmers.
The country storekeeper really does a
banking business in clumsy and cost
ly way. Local banks, such as exist in
Canada, would furnish the farmers
with credits at about one-fourth the
cost Of store credits. With such banks
the farmers could sell their crops for
checks, deposit them in banks and take
up their discounted notes in this way.
The farmer knows nothing of this
method Of conducting transactions and
thinks that his needs can be supplied
only by making more money-cheaper
money if necessary.
The farmers, therefore, make no
efforts 10 obtain better banking facili-
ties. Instead they work and vote
against banks and bankers at every op-
portunity. They tax money and other
loanable capital at 2 or az per cent
while demanding that interest be re-
duced to 2 per cent They thus drive
away the very money they are so eager
TO get. In some sections Of the south il
is 80 or 20 miles to the nearest bank.
They prohibit branch banks, such as cx-
list in Canada and Scotland to the great
advantage of remote country districts
The farmers themselves are the great
est enemies TO what is most needed in
their communities, class banks Of
deposit and discount. MIR. Shearman
makes this point clear. He says that
Canadian farmers "have suffered from
the fall of prices and from every other
alleged result of the single gold stand
ard TO the same extent az the farmers
south of them. Yet there is no bimetal-
lie league in Canada, and the cry for
cheaper money is not heard. Canada
has not only enough money to supply
all Of her own wants, but also lends
such great amounts in the United States
that jealous American bankers some

times Try to shut Canadian money OUT.
Mr.. Shearman sees what too few
seem TO see--that the farmers have a
real monetary or currency grievance.
He has indicated what is probably the
only way of giving relief. He offers
something positive. That the farmers
are not willing to take the only remedy
for their ills and prefer the quaok free
silver and cheap money remedies only
prolongs their sufferings and makes a
rational solution of the money question
morn difficult and uncertain.

Republican Rallies.
Two Large Ones Held
Saturday Evening
BY Finlanders.
Mr.. }. q. SOddy In New York,
other Items OF Interest Picked Up
Around the Metropolis OF the
Great Copper Country.

| The Finnish republicans held monster
rally-their first this campaign--at the
Opera House last Saturday evening and
the spacious auditorium was well filed
almost entirely by Finnish voters.
Rev. |. w. Eloheimo, pastor OF the Fin
nish Congregational church presided and
made short speech In Finnish and in.
troduced County Clerk X. Ii. Shields, #
Houghton, who made an address IN
English. Mr.. Shields address was not
lengthy, but concise statement of s
standard, that OF the republican party,
and was interesting to those OF the audi
ence who could understand English.
After the speaker had finished the Fin
nish Glee club rendered couple OF Amer
lean national airs.
The next speaker introduced was Fred
karinen, editor OF the American Untiset,
the local Finnish publication. Mr. Kar-
inen has always been a democrat, but
could not swallow the free silver and
populistic stand taken by the Chicago
convention OF democrats and although
his paper has always given its support
to the democratic nominee, il comes
out boldly this year for Mckinley and
sound money. His address was in Fin
nish and in the course of it he gave his
reasons for his stand.
Oscar Eliassen, of Oscar, was next
called upon and he also made a short
address in the Finnish language. Attor-
ney o. j. Larson closed the speech max
ing by an address in which he referred to
the different candidates for county offices
and the names of each, especially Frimo-
dig and Lean, was greeted with euthus-
iastic applause. The other speak, rs |
were frequently interrupted with APP
plause and the meeting did not lack en-
thusiasm.
While this rally was being held, an
other, almost as largely attended, was |
going on in the Finnish Hall on Eighth |
street, under the auspices of the Finnish |
Temperance society, Hyva Toivo, Cnde-
pendent. This W as prohibition rally.
The speakers OF the evening were
X. koski, assistant editor of the Ameri-
can Utiset, j. Tito and J. Piippola.
They all made addresses in Finnish, call |
ing the attention Of their hearers to the
real live issue, as they considered it, of
prohibition. There was plenty OF enthu-
siasm shown and the speakers were fire.
quently applauded.
