weyIer,s Paper Promises.

Our "greenbackers" should rejoice
over the fact that another paper money
experiment is being tried. IF green
backs put down the rebellion in the
United States, why shouldn't they prove
effective weapons against Cuban
rebels?" reasons Gen. Weyler, who is
flooding the coast towns of Cuba with
artistically engraved promises to pay
on one side of piece of paper and a
picture of well-developed tobacco
plant on the other side.
The experiment is boundt ~ be sue
cessful, for the notes are made legal
tender in the worst way. Any shop
keeper who refuses to accept these
promises for their face value is subject
to instant imprisonment in jails where
confinement means almost certain
death. Of course under the circum-
stances the notes are accepted. Weyler,
however, forgot to decree that prices
should not be raised, and the Cuban
shopleepers are mean enough to try to
defeat the experiment by raising prices.
So far they have only doubled prices,
but each one is trying to see how high
he can put prices, and the end is not in
sight.
Come to think of it, high prices, con-
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiments with paper
money. Perhaps Weyler, by correcting
this little defect, may yet demonstrate
that greenbackers are right and that
cheap money, by proper legislation, can
be made Just as good as money made
from costly metals. What boon plenty
of money would be to mankind! Sue
cess to Weyler's experiment and death
to the traitor who tries to prevent its
success BIZ raising prices or by refus-
ing to accept Weylef's handsome prom
isest

grew more marked, and evidently were
caused by the presence of polecat
Finally the nuisance became unbear-
able and the teacher realized that some
thing must be done, so Miss Saunders
asked Bob Aiken, her largest schol-
ar, TO take up a board behind her desk
and see if he could discover the cause
of the trouble. When the board had
been removed the stencil became more
overpowering than ever, and, as moth
ing could be seen, Bob secured the stove
poker and rammed it around under the
floor. Then he saw something, for
a polecat jumped into the room, and
il was followed by another and another,
until five had made their appearance,
dispensing their perfume as they went,
and so impartially did they distribute
it that most of the scholars, as well as
the teacher, will be compelled to wear
different clothing until that worn at
the time can be fumigated.
The children, scared half to death,
scampered in all directions, piling
over seats and through windows, out
into the biting cold. The door being
cold The doors being closed, the
skunks were penned in and ran fran
tically about the room, leaving evil
dences Of their presence on the seats
and the woodwork and thefloor Finally
some of the children who escaped from
the room by way of the door left it
open and the odorous creatures took
their departure. 1t will be some time
before the building can be sufficiently
ventilated for the sessions of the school
to be resumed.

CREDIT FOR FARMERS.

Continuance of Present Conditions a
Distinct Hardship to Agriculture.
We have lately given some accounts of
the operation of agricultural banks in
Europe, which have done very much for
the farming class by making it possible
for it to secure loans on such security
as farmers can offer. The farmer is
especially in need OF credit, for the in
terval must always be considerable be-
tween the preparation of the soil and
the harvesting of the crop. He must
spend money a long time before he
can get any back. AS to most of his
products, he may be said to be carry
ing on a business where the stock is
turned over but once year. Further
more, as a crop natures all over the
country at the same season, and gener-
ally within a period of few weeks, it is
particularly important to the farmer
that he should not be compelled to re-
alize on his harvests Immediately. He
would break the market if he were
obliged to sell all his crops as soon as
gathered, and yet he must sell good
deal, for he has been under expense for
months without any income
While the farmer more than almost
any other producer needs credit, he
cannot generally offer commercial Sc
curity, and real estate is not a good
security for ordinary banks of discount
to take, and it is unlawful for our ma
tional banks to accept it. The result
is that the farmer is usually compelled
to sell his produce at an unpropitious
time or to get credit of merchants and
private bankers for which usurious
rates are obtained. In this country
there has been practically no effort to
supply this need for agricultural cred
it's, although the brokers and private
bankers and factors who have made
a practice of lending to farmers have
made great deal of money out of it,
for the absence of competition enables
them to get high rate for money, and
the farmer pretty generally pays his
debts.
1t is singular that in our own coun-
try no effort has been made to afford
agriculture in general the capital it
needs for the improving of land and
for carrying on farm operations during
the long intervals between the annual
marketing of crops. The changed con-
ditions of the times make it imperative
that farming must be conducted upon
more scientific principles so as to get
out of the land more than it has here
tofore produced, and that necessity
leaves no alternative but either to afford
the farmer enlarged credit facilities or
to leave the present landowners to be
frozen out by insolvency, with the re-
suit of transferring this industry to
aclass possessing ampler and able
to cultivate larger farms upon improved
methods.--Journal of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin.
