FOREIGN PROTESTS.

L
The closing days of the tariff
consideration are punctuated
with one or two further mild
protests from foreign countries
with reference to the bill.
There have been possibly a
half dozen of these in various
forms, some of them coming
formally through the foreign
representatives here and being
filed at the State Department,
and others merely in the way
of scolds in legislative bodies
or newspapers of foreign coun-
tries. These do not create the
slightest furry among the
statesmen who are engaged in
framing the tariff measure.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1897-07-08

the money rendered must be
deposited with the clerk of the
court, or in the bank or with
some individual for the use
and benefit of the mortgages.
While the law was evidently
intended to prevent the taking
of mortgages covering more
than one crop season, except in
the case of mortgages given to
secure the purchase price OF
lands upon which such crop
mortgage is to be grown, the
wording of the section referred
to admits of other construction;
for instance, section 16provides
that, "any provisions in a mort
gage given on crops to be grown
later than during the season
commencing on the first day
of May next subsequent to the
date of the mortgage shall be
void" This, it is thought, will
yet allow, after the first day of
May in each year, the taking
of a mortgage covering a crop
that may be in the ground and
then growing and also on the
crop to be planted and grown
the year following.'
