banks are SO far away from the Dor
rover that the banks cannot know the
basis of credit, and the business OF
money lending is left in the hands of
sharks who will stop to nothing in
order to exact usurious interest. What
Is needed Is u better system OF distri-
button, and that will come through a
complete recastipg of the national
banking system.
Democratic and populistic ignorance
and prejudice cannot stand in the way
of this necessary change for many
years. The republican party should
by all means make it its first duty to
secure this reorganization of the bank
ing system, and then the record of the
party would be confirmed as the only
safe one to which to entrust the vast
and varied business interests of the
nation.

see and Virginia, and for Washington
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, will take on Cafe Dining Car a,
Alfalfa, Ala, and carry it to Radford
Va, serving meals a Ia carte.
This car returning will be attached

The hours are very favorable, and
the service Will be first class in every
particular.
The route of the car via Chatta.
nooga and through the Cum berland
and Blude Ridge Mountain region en-
ables the traveller TO view some of the
most beautiful scenery in the country
while enjoying his meals.
The q la carte plan of dining car
enables the passenger to almost pro-
cure any sort of meal that suits his
fancy, from a cup of coffee and q roll to
an elaborate spread, paying only for
what he orders.
This feature of the Queen & Cres-

preciated by the travelling pub bile, and
that 1t will receive very liberal patron

WHAT RURAL DISTRICTS NEED

THE farmers and merchants in thu
small towns and rural district
throughout the United States are at
continual disadvantage in the matter
of obtaining the necessary and entirely
legitimate loans necessary to carry or
their business. The faul' is not with
the money standard, o. standard Of
values, but with the banking system OF
the country. It is not free silver, that
dangerous fsllscy born of word Jug
glery, that ia needed to put the people
of the outlying districts on Par with
the jewellers in the cities in regards
the free use of money, but en- extension
of banking facilities.
There is currency enough in the
country-enough of the circulating
medium-to answer all present needs,
and the total amount is all the time in
creasing. But the trouble is, the sys-
tenn for it's distribution is so faulty that
the dwellers outside the cities and
towns, If removed some distance from
the financial centers, are led to believe
that money" is really scarce, when
ply depot near their place of business.
Like any other commodity, when the
haul is long from the depot to market,
under these circumstances the "mon
cyl or currency is hard to get and
rates are high.
The condition is similar to
that which has been one of the
prime causes of the famines in Russia
for many centuries. We are speaking
now of wheat, not gold or silver, but
the principle is the same. Russia has
for great many years produced
enough wheat ard other bread stuffs
for her own use. But Russia has had
lost many millions OF Inhabitants be-
cause of them.
Why is this? Simply because the
transportation facilities between diff
ferent portions of the empire have
been so poor or so entirely lacking that
it was cheaper to send the breadstuffs
from southern ports to England or 9TH
err European countries than to remote
parts of the Russian empire. AS re-
suit the Russian peasants died of starry
alton while the grain they needed to
sustain life was being shipped out of
the empire.
So we see in our southern states, In
the rural districts, that money" the
circulating medium, Is scarce, and in
terest rates are 80 high that the money
lender virtually owns the farmer body
and soul before the crops are under |
roof, while few hundred miles away
money ia 30 plentiful that it is being /
loaned at ridiculously low rates of in
terest, or left to lie idle for want of in
vestment.
One great reason for this is that the

A certain class of modern novelists
seems to think that the reading public
prefers novels with an unhappy
ending. There may be an ultra
morbid section of the reading
public that wants such books,
but there has been no evidence that
there has been change in the we'll
nigh universal desire to see q book
end with happy marriage, and
the reward of virtue, no matter how
much woe and anguish is waded
through In the course of the story.
