KANSAS STATE NEWS.

Interesting Decision ON the Bank Law.
In decision at Fort Scott recently
Judge Simons sustained the contention
Of Judge West that the Kansas banking
law of 1897 precludes the depositors of
suspended state bank from suing
stockholders for double liability.
Judge Simons held that it was the ex-
elusive province of the bank receiver
to become the plaintiff in such action.
Attorney West also raised the point
that prior to 1891 there was no Kansas
law authorizing the Incorporation Of a
company to engage in the general
banking business All state banks are
so chartered and if this point is sus-
tanned all banks chartered prior to 1891
are illegally formed.

Interest Lower Since 1896.

The Engineering Record publishes a
table showing the rates of interest at
which various cities have borrowed
money this year and last year, the les
son of which is that money is cheaper
and cheaper and that the capitalist gets
a small return for it's use. Baltimore,
for example, got money in November,
1896, at 1874 per cent, but in July,
1897, got it at 3. 26 per cent Brooklyn
and New York got loans this summer
slightly lower-at 1921 and 3.I3 per
cent respectively-but all the other
eight cities mentioned paid more than
Baltimore. Milwaukee paid 4.29 per
cent in August, 1896, and 8. 80 per cent
in August, 1897 Provided the lender
has assurance that he will get his
money back he nowadays parts with it
dirt cheap" one may say The day of
safe per cent investments is passing
away. Even 4 per cent is hard to get on
safe long term investments. Baltimore

A PLANTERS LETTER.
He Talks Horse-Sense for the Eay-Seed

He Talks Horse-Sense for the Eay-Seeders.
A Ha>seed Esq,
Dear Sir:-It is common report that
you are disconnected with your lot,
and find that farming does not give
as much food, clothes and shelter as
other trades and occupations. l am
in the same fix. You raise wheat as
the main crop,and I make cotton. and
both or US are in bad way; and if we
both 90 not make a change, in a few
short years, we will find ourselves in
he'll and our children after us. Let US
talk the thing over and see if there is
not an open road to prosperity. l be-
lieve there is.
We both know that all people in the
world have got to have food clothes
and shelter: if not they die.
The fate Of the world is dependent
upon what we raise, cultivate and
make from the ground. This is the
first fact that you must drive and
rlvet in your brain The second is
that all the people are in two classes,
one class is composed Of those that
produce food. clothes and shelter, and
We produce the raw material and the
mechanics and artisans finish them,
ceto WY UhC LII uld OCi d
first. Everything depends upcn Us,
like whipped dogs. There is not Il
farmer in Minnesota that has raised
wheat for ten years that has not pro-
duced wealth enough to feed, cOthe
and shelter himself and family for
life, with the best Of food, the finest
Of clothes and a substantial house;
and yet there is not even one farmer
i n the whole Of your state that has
got in the ten years Of toll and hard
ship as much as CuSh Davis has got in
one day; and Cush. Davis has not pro-
duced d dollar Of his wealth in twice
ten years. DO you know the reason
why that Cash. Davis has got such
wealth When he did not produce dol
lar of it and you did? No. If you did
you would not be such ID fool as
to let other people live off you and go
half-starved. half-hOused and half
clothed. Why your houses are not as
good as Nanderblt'S dog kenncll
" GU make your home such hell that
your daughters prefer the houses Of
have warmth, clothes and shelter for
brief period of time, and then comes
damnation. But that is another
story. 1t is fact that you know
nothing, absolutely nothing of "the
science Of government" or politics.
Nothing of finance or money. You
don't even know what a dollar is. You
know nothing of the Transportation
question and yet these questions meet
you every day in the year, SUNDAYS
and holidays included; and you have
not interest enough in them to see
your duty.
| do not wonder that we are hoot-
ed and laughed at, even by
the children. | should think you
would get "kiuder tired" by this
time. l am.
guess this letter will do for this
time, as | am afraid that too much
reading viii fatigue your eyes:-es-
pecially if there is any sense in it,.
You are not used to that-unless you
belong to the Peoples Party.
Your truly, A PLANTER.
