Senator Peffer's plan of a govern ment loan of fiat money of any other kind ot meney on a deposit of non- perishable farm produce or on real estate security is class legislation of the worst kind, as the Republic has often pointed out. In commenting on the subject recently Senator Har- ris of Tennessee thus emphasizes a point which is of great importance to the farmers themselves: There is a very large class of farmers whe are so unfortunate as not te own a farm, but are compell- ed to rent farms from year to year and another class of farmers who do not own farme or even aspire to rent them, but who work on the farm for wages. The renter and the farm wage laborer are certainly mere needy than the owner of the farm. Why should the government extend its aid to the owner and turn from the more needy and equally deserv- ing of the same class? Why should it loan to the owner of the farm m oney at 2 per cent per annum to enable him to loan it to the renter or laborer at 10 or 12 per cent? This is claus legislation of the most refin- ed and classified character. As between farmers and farmers it is a class legislation, but this is far from being the worst of it. There are hundreds of thousands of people in this country who have neither land nor non-perisiable farm pro ducts to give as security for the gov- ernment loan of money. These would be left out altogether unless the government took in pawn sec- ond-hand clothing, kitchen and bed room furniture, mechanics’ tools and whatever else people when hard pressed take to the pawn shops as collateral for paternal loans. Mr. Peffer is not yet prepared to go quite so far toward giving the Unit- ed States the three gold balls fora coatofarms, and his scheme is therefore growsly inconsistent, dis- criminating as it does against mil- lions of people, some of whom are certainly as worthy as he, and num- bers of whom are in greater pover- ty. "He argues that he and his sup- porters need the money. The argu- ment is of general application, and it applies nowhere more forcibly than to those who cannot give the security he prescribes. The more needy they are the less able they are to give the security,and if hie object is,as he professes, to relieve need through the intervention of pater- nal government the most needy cer- tainly demand the first relief from its paternal care. And certainly the most needy are not those who caa furnish what would be good col- LOCAL ITEMS. | A Vernon County Coal Mine Explosion. : Rich Hill, Me, Oct. 8—By a, p ie windy shot the head house of Keith. & Perry's mine, No. 7 in Vernon! county, just across the Bates county | line, was blown up last night. W-. R. | Metz was killed and Amos Alger so/| | badly injured that it is thought he will die. Five mules are in the mine sup- | posably killed by after damp. Dam | age to property is estimated at $6,-| 000. The mines are located on the B. Handley farm in Vernon county just this side of the last creek crossed on the L. & S. railroad from the south, | before reaching Rich Hill. The Keith & Perry ceal company a year | or se ago bought # large tract of land in that vicinity and opened up mines. Coal underlies that entire section and is the same stratum that underlies Rich Hill and Carbon Cen- ter. American Beauties.
