century European farmers have been
struggling against adverse economic con-
ditions. Chief among the difficulties
against which they have had to contend
has been competition Of new countries

which, owing to the improvement in the
means of transport. have been able to
food the markets OF Europe with ag-
ricultural produce. Even in the most
perishable products the competition has
been severe, for the development Of
cold storage has enabled these products
to be brought to Europe from the most
distant parts of the world.
The new business methods. which have
spread over Europe consist. in the main,
OF agriculture, of which the following
are the most important:
l. The provision of capital.
2. The purchase of agricultural re-
quirements.
g. The preAaration and sale of agri-
cultural produce.
L. Farm insurance.
The main principle underlying all
forms of cooperative credits is that II a
group of persons combine to furnish a
collective guarantee they can. on the
security Of that guarantee. obtain money
at lower rates of interest than they
could obtain it individually.
The collective guarantee may be that
of real property. A number OF land
owners may obtain capital on the Sc
curity of a collective mortgage of their
lands. This is the basis of the German
Landschaften. one of the oldest forms of
cooperative credit institutions.
Or. again, the collective guarantee may
may be a personal one. number of
persons may obtain capital by making
themselves jointly responsible for its re-
payment Such liability may be unlim-
tied or limited.
Liability Unlimited.
Unlimited liability is fundamental
part of the Raiffeisen system, but in the
Schultze-Delitsch system the liability of
the members of the group is usually
limited.
Upon such guarantees capital may be
obtained In a variety OF ways. In Ger
many the Landschaften issues bonds,
but the Raiffeisen banks derive their
working capital mainly from the de-
posits they are able to attract. In
France the rural banks depend mainly
upon capital advanced by the state. In
all countries the credit societies are able
to obtain capital from the larger bank
ing institutions or from the investing
public.
Having obtained the capital, the group
of persons must be able to lend IL to
one another at a rate of interest only
slightly IN excess of the rate which they
pay collectively. This requires two con-
ditions: % That the expenses of man.

the business done. and (0 that the risk
of loss shall be reduced to a minimum.
To reduce the risk Of loans to men,
bers. many safeguards have been de-
vised which are adopted to varying ex-
tents in the different systems.
Where the members are landowners
and can give mortgages of their prop
erty. it is only necessary to insure that
the amount of the loan shall be fully Sc
cured by the mortgage, allowing for any
possible depreciation in the value of the
property. Loans on mortgages are, how
ever. an inconvenient form of credit.
where capital is only required for COM
paratively short period, and the follow
ing are the principle safeguards for loans
given on personal property:
]. That loans are only made to men,
bers OF the group and that only persons
known to be trustworthy are admitted.
2 That membership is confined to per-
sons residing within a small district and
that, therefore, the members are person
ally known to one another.
3. That II is to the interest of all
members to 1elp a member when he is
in difficulties
T. That the borrower is required to
find sureties or give other collateral
security for the repayment Of the loan.
g. That the borrower binds himself to
apply his loan to a specific purpose
which will bring in a monetary return
sufficient to enable him to repay the
sum borrowed. to pay the interest
charged. and TO leave a profit to him
self.
OF German Origin.
1t was in Germany that the three most
important forms OF cooperative credit
the Raiffcisen banks, the Schultze-De-
litsch banks. and the Landschaften-
originated. In Austria and Italy the sys-
tens adopted are notifications of the
German systems. In France, cooper
ative credit IS based largely upon an
elaborate system of organization not
found in other countries. In Great Bri-
tain and Ireland cooperative credit is
not as yet highly developed.

Of them are also strongly urging Re-
publican voters to stand Loyalty by
the nominees for Congress, for the
state senate, for the house Of dele
gates and for all the county Offices.
What the Huntington Herald-Dis-
patch says on this subject as fol-
lows should should commend itself
to all West Virginia Republicans:
Republican editors with one ac-
cord, have come nobiy to the front
during the week which ends with to-
day. demanding of all party mem
bers loyalty to the state ticket, re-
gardless of how they may feel with
reference to the national political
situation
The dispatch feels deep
degree of satisfaction when it notes
this sentiment. This feeling re-
suits partly from the fact that the
unanimous support of all the Re-
publicans newspapers means success
in the, state, and partly because the
Herald dispatch was the first news
paper to point out the duty of Re-
publicans in this particular. The
Republican state ticket, the Repub-
lican candidates for Congress. and
all the county and district tickets
are the creations of the whole party,
and it is the duty of the whole party
to stand together for their election.
That the Republican editors and
Republican voters generally have
come enthusiastically forward and
registered their vows in favor of
these tickets, means success. There
are no clouds on the state horizon.
Stranger things have happened than
that the clouds should be lifted from
the party as 1t is described in the
nation. i
Work for the state ticket. Help
elect your congressman and your
county ticket. Be man. A
mighty good way to be man is to
be a big-hearted, loyal Republican.

The Biggest JoI.e.

One of the biggest jokes of the
Baltimore convention IL the Bryan
resolution on RyanIBelmont-M ur-
ply bossism, With maudlin emo
tion, Mr.. Bryan declares that he
put the convention on record
against this evil. but, in view of the
circumstances that have surrounded
the convention since its beginning,
the convention might Just as well
have. defeated the resolution. ,a.
The passage of the harmless thing
no more rids the party of its corrupt
influences than it abolishes Tam
many Hall and late reports are that
Tammany Hall is yet rather we'll in
the running. The resolution was
an exhibition of Bryan senility. 1t
was an advertising feature most de-
voutly desired by wall street cor
ruptionists, Tammany and their CO.
horts. NO cleverly written press
notice, no political whitewash brush,
no other bit of campaign text book
material could be more to the liking
of the Democratic bosses who
have had charge of the con-
venton - 1t was so appetizing
to the Tammanyltes that they
fell over one another in their
anxiety to vote for it. The real hui
NOR of the situation is that the con-
ventlon could no more vote down
Mr.. Bryan's resolution than it
could vote down a resolution op-
posing murder.
Poor old Bryan has made a pretty
mess of the affair. Instead of purg-
ing the party, as he thinks, and
justifying himself as the only true
and holy Democratic Moses, he has
actually put the party upon record
as being under the suspicion of cor
ruption, thereby emphasizing its
sins and wickedness; and he has,
though unwlttingly, played directly
into the hands of the Wall street
rlngsters.
