LANDS AND BONDS.

Editor Capital Journal; I enclose
clipping in regard to Glands and
bonds" from Up-to-Date Farming,
which will doubtless be of considerable
interest at this time, The article fol-
lows:
Propositions are often made in gov
ernment affairs of the effect of which
people need to be warned. The most
deceptive one that has been presented
for many years is variously discussed
as rural credits, farm loan banks, mort
gage bonds, etc. Whatever form this
takes it ends with scheme for the
issue of marketable bonds on land, the
farms and homes of the people. We are
sorry to say this scheme is advocated
by papers otherwise devoted to the well
fare and progress of agriculture. We
quote the following from a prominent
November magazine; But to complete
the job of financial reform is needed
an adequate method Of farm finance
The new law required to provide this
need may be the first important act of
congress at its regular session, which
begins in December. 1t must enable
farm bonds to vie with government
bonds, so as to insure safety to inves-
tors and reasonable rates to borrowers ;
Gas we have said this is most
seductive proposition. Most people
would like to have more money, and
proposals to make it easy for them to
get money on long time at a low rate
of interest are attractive, and were it
possible to do so many farmers would
contract such debts as would otherwise
remain free from debt and yet be Just
about as prosperous. But that is not
the worst feature of the proposition.
There never before was anything pro-
posed so dangerous to the Independent
homes Of the people of the United
States as the issuing of marketable
bonds based on these homes. Every
bond is lien upon that on which it
is issued, and the owners of those bonds
would have liens upon the lands and
homes upon which they were issued.
"The bonds being marketable would
be bought up by the financiers and fl
nancial institutions of the country that
now control almost everything else but
the farms, and soon the farms would
be thus owned as the railroads, man
concerns and other industrial
institutions are now owned. Make the
land bonds vie with government bonds,
and soon such thing as an independ-
ent home owned by its occupant, free
and independent American citizen,
would be thing unknown. The Amer
lean people would not surrender their
independence. They would fight through
rivers of blood first. But they may be
induced to sell it for money borrowed
at a low rate of interest"
