|Of the speakers. Senator Smith anu
w. r. Pollock. gave much OF their time
In discussing the continuation. of the

the national government lend none,
dtrsct!y to the farmers, at tho lowest
possible rate of interest, the national
banks accepting the cotton as pledge,
and this be held until the market

raise the produce.
