The groom has a good paying situa-

Philadelphia girl, has fine paying
job. Neither had parents or home IN
the city, both lived at boarding houses
with no conRenial company or compar-

made a before marriage cor tract IN

FROM POPULIsT TIMES,

CSS0G TAG t44I94 ISSP VI " AlASb 1~O~-
trine
FROM POPULIST TIMES,
It is interesting to observe that
among the oId-time Populist proposals
that are now winning reapecta bility is
modification Of the eub-tFeasury plan
TIE obi ct of the sub-tre asurJ plan
vas = q .rmit the farmer to borrow
money on his crop at a small rate Of
interest. The proposal was thnt farm
ers might deposit in the Eub=treasurV
cotton, wheat, corn, oats or tobacco
and receive government notes up to 80
percent of the valne of the security.
Now all three party platform are
urging means 20 enable farmers to Dor
row mone7 at IeFs than the current
rates paid to banks. The details OF TIE
contemplated plane, which are in ext t.
ence in Europe, are explained by Mr.
B. F. Yoakum. president of the Frisco
system, in an article in the current is
sus of the Worlds Work.
Mr. YoakUm points out that the Euro
peaa farmer ia able TO borrow money
on his land at low rates OF interest
through a Cooperative system, By which
all the land of the members becomes
the security for individual loanE. In
addition he may borrow for current
need on bis note at moderate rates
from the rural credit bsRks.
These sYstems by which farmers viz
tuall- root their credits have been in
operation in Germany. France and other
Europe an countries for many years.
They have been ofgreat service in the
agricultural development OF those cou'l-
tries because they have enabled this
work to be done at comparatively low
coat.
With American public opinion aroused
there is good chance that some plan
adapted to American conditions may be
| worked out in the near future.
