Where, even, is that committee of One

Why have the police officials shown a
disposition to make no raids on houses of

Co-operative, banking For Farmers.

CO-OperaCiS3 RANKING FOr FARMERS.
The American Agriculturist of April
! again discusses editorially the ''enti.e
feasibility of cooperative banking
among farmers. "This can be done,
it says, "by slight notifications Of the
system of cooperative savings fund and
building associations or cooperative
banks, which has proved SO remarkably
successful in American cities. These in
situations now hold over $500, 900, 600
of deposits and are thoroughly demon
strated practical success The Saxon
Land Credit association Ga report upon
which can be obtained by writing to
the secretary of state, Washington is a
modification of the Raiffeisen system,
which in Prussia and Germany has
achieved the same success among the
working farmers Of those countries that
the cooperative banks have achieved in
our American cities. The peoples banks
of Italy and neighboring countries, based
upon much the same plan, have had
marvellous success. A report giving fur
Credit association has been published
by the department. of state for free dis
tribution, in which Consular Agent Pc.
tiers says with truth that can never be
questioned:
What American farmers require to relieve
them Of the present financial strain under
which they are living is the power to borrow
at the lowest possible interest consistent with
their securities and the financial conditions in
the great centers of the world. So long as they
must borrow from the local money lender they
must pay high rate of interest for accommo-
dation. It is this high rate Of interest under
which our farmers are now striving and fall
ing that is responsible for the general unrest
and dissatisfaction. Remove the high rate of
interest,". give them the same opportunity to
use their credit as men engaged in other bust
ness, exchange the present mortgage on the
farm for one with a reasonable interest, which
the farmer can pay and have something left
for the savings bank and we will restore hap
piness and prosperity.
This ouestio. has been solved by the farmers
and landholdars of Europe, and the solution
of the problem did not consist in the issue by
the government of a mass of debased currency
circulated among the people at a fictitious
value. The end was reached by the farmers
and landholders by their own force and CO.
operation, by the founding of associations
which in time became oower in the land, and
whose financial strer ~ was measured by mil
lions of unaoubted securities which the public
was only too glad to invest in.

.Is This Result Desirable?

Should this country alone attempt
free coinage of silver at the ratio of Is
to 1, it would thereby give notice that
we are ready to exchange for all corners
a quantity of gold which is valued at 81
in every civilized country for quanti-
ty of silver which represents in the
markets of the world about 80 cents.
In a very short time all gold would
disappear. Itwould be boarded to await
a premiums or shipped to countries
where it is more appreciated. Only sill
yer would remain our circulating medi-
UNI. We would be on sSHilver basis. Our
standard would be dollar worth little
more than so cents in every country but
our own.
All values would quickly adjust them
selves to this deprecated dollar and
would fluctuate with its changing value
in international exchange.

Government Currency.

The reason bank circulation has been
decreasing through term of years, and
why it is inelastic, remaining almost
without change from season to season,
is that the security for it is a deposit ct
government bonds. The bank capital is
in the treasury instead of in business.
The profits on circulation decline as the
bonds increase in value or the rate of
interest declines, and the redemption
process is slow and Ineffective. The
dangers of the government currency
and the deficiencies Of the bank curren-
oy are now pretty well recognized. and
every day shows increased earnestness
in the demands of business men for a
complete and permanent cure. Iron

Good Money Is Good Anywhere.

While government can within its
territory define that which shall con-
stitute legal tender in satisfaction of
contracts past and future it cannot by
legislation fix the purchasing value Of
its money, for money is commodity,
and it's value is determined in the mar
kets of the world under the laws of
trade, and the laws of trade, like the
laws of nature, are stronger and more
farreaching than any constitutions or
statutes. The best money is the money
Of greatest purchasing power, and that
money has the maximum of purchasing
power which is exchangeable at par,
not only in the country from whose
mint it is issued, but also in the markets
of the world.

! WASHINGTON, May 5.-The tariff bill
as reported to the senate is radically
different from the Dingley bill amount
ing almost to another measure. Many
important schedules were rewritten
entirely. The comments on the bill
are, of course, partisan. Some features
are very much disliked even by Re-

Republicans commend and Democrats
condemn it, though members of the
committee say that the SUBJ committee
has in many particulars improved upon
the Dingley bill.

there would be about six weeks debate
