No Banks and a Scant Saprly of Cur- rency—Sranch Banks the Remedy. = the Loudon Times. American farmers and planters are scat- tered thinly over an enormous territory. | A vast majority not only have no dealings with banks of deposit and discount, but do not understand the nature of such trans- actions. In the south and west it -is quite common to find numerous populated dis- tricts, each larger than Wales, and some nearly as large es England, in which there is not a single bank of deposit. In most ef the agricultural regions back of the North Atlantic states payment by check is practically unknown. All transactions are Settled cither by payment in paper money or by book accounts. A moment's reflection will show that it is Uterally impossible that the erormous pro- ductions of these farmers can ever be paid There was, and.never can be, enough y" in the country to pay for half a cron; while two-thirds of all the coin and paper money fs and must be kept in bank vaults, the banks being compelled by law! to keep on hand from 15 to 25 per cent of ! all their Habilities 1a coin or “greenbacks.” In the large towns the gradual evolution of business has superseded actual money by the use of checks, in which more than nine-tenths of all transactions are settled. But the farmers have no checks and no bank accounts. Nearly all the “maney” is absorbed by the towns. How shdil their crops be sold and paid for? In answer to this demand, trade involves the “country store.” At each crossing of the high roads ts sure to be planted the #s-roads store,” of which the business will hear in every direction. Here, a shrewd manager, with small capital, good bank facliities and Plenty of local knowl- edze, is ready to sell to each farmer on crelit. Each farmer opens a book account With one of these stores. He is lucky if he has a choice between three of them. But they all charge the same prices, give the Same credit, require the same security and deal in the same way. When the farmer has raised his crop, he must either sell it to his storekeeper or must direct any other purchaser to settle at the store. Credit is given from one annua? crop to the next. In consideration of this credit and the risks involved, the storekeeper has to charge Prices which include interest and insurance, roughly calculated at not less than 25 per cent, in addition to the full usual retail Profit of a town store. When he buys the farmer's crop, as he usually does, he pays the lowest country market price. He keeps the accounts and fixes the prices at both ends. In this manner by far the largest share of the back-country farmers have to buy and sell. Of course they always buy in the dearest market and sell in the cheapest. ‘They do, in fact, a banking business at the cxcss-roads stores, in a clumsy and costly Gail Borden Eagle Brand CONDENSED [MILK mx years the brand. It fe the Best ant the mast A PERFECF FOOD FOR INPANTS Fi for in either coin or paper money. never manner, paying these primitive bankers in- terest and commissions at the rate of 30 or 4 per cent. Those farmers who only pay 30 per cent grow prosperous; those who pay 30 barely live; those who pay 40 are event- ually ruined. Millions of farmers live in this manner, know it, and are impatient under it. Hun- dreds of thousands grow fiercely discon- terted. But the only remedy of which they have the smallest conception is to increase the volume of money to such an extent that it shall tlood the whole country and erable them to buy and sell for actual cash, paid across the counter. They believe that city trade is done in this manner; and they think that they are deprived of like privi- leges by some mysterious financial conspir- acy, through which New York and London bankers monopolize all the mcney and con- tract its volume, in order that they may monopolize it. No politician and no paper which they ever read contradicts’ this theory, and nobody ever explains to them the real nature of banking or the possibili- ty of their having or using deposit banks. Their only idea of a bank is a bank-note factory, issuing paper to be kept afloat as long and redeemed as seldom as possible. And why that omnipotent being, “the gov- e should not issue all this paper itself, sharing the “gigantic profits” among all the people, is something which they cannot understand, and which nobody, un. ul very recently, has attempted to explain. Is it at all surprising, under such circum: Stances, that these small farmers, hardly pressed for a living, should clamorously de- mand more money of every kind—gold, sil. yer Paper, or rags? The marvel is ‘that there has been enough common senee among them, even without instruction, to feel instinctively that the only remedy of which they know anything is, after’ all Worse than the disease. 5 What is the true remedy? Is it not, ob- viously, the extension to the farming classes of those banking facilities which have made the use of both coin and paper meney obsolete in the business transactions of towns? Why should not farmers obtain credit at a local bank, at fair rates of in- terest, Instead of depending upon the cross- read stores, at exorbitant rates? Why should they not sell their crops for checks, deposit them in banks, and take ‘up their discounted notes in this way? The solution of this mystery is something which Englishmen will find It hard to un- derstand. Our bankers are more enterpris- ing than British bankers, more ready to ea- ter into the new fields ard to give new credits. They are much more willing to ac- cept small deposits, and never charge com- mission. But they are prohibited from fur- nishing this aid to farmers by two statutes enacted upon the urgent demand of the farmers tremselves. No bank is permitted to estabilsh agencies, and every bank is taxed 2 or 3 per cent on its capital, which is the same as an income tax of 7 shillings on the pound. Thus rural banks are killed before they are born. No farmers’ bank could live under such taxes, and no district which is too poor to maintain a bank of its own is allowed to have a bank agency. THOMAS G. SHEARMAN. ——__+e+_____ CENTENNIAL OF VACCINATION. The Experience of Russia Leads to a National Commemoration. From the Independent. Could the shade of Jenner revisit the earth next year it could not but be pleased at the general attention that will then be given to the history and results of his great discovery. Russia, where the cir- cumstances surrounding its introduction were suck as to make it ever memorable, Proposes to have a national commemora- tion of a process which has saved miilions of ifves in that teeming empire. Germany will not be behind, for she has more accu- rate testimony to exhibit than any other country from the complete success of vac- cination and revaccination in her army and the American Medical Association, meeting in May, 1895, proposes to devote Special attention to the subject. Dr. Sotin, seeing that smallpox was ap- Proaching from the east to St. Petersburg, set himself to make a precise study of the effecis of vaccinat'on and non-vaccination. He examined 1,564 children, belonging to 665 families. He found that 1,055 had been vaccinated, and had visibie scars: formed a doubtful group who were said to have been vaccinated, but had no visible scars; 454 had ne®er been vaccinated. Smallpox came, and a widespread epidemic resulted. It was found that of the vaccinated chil- dren 16 contracted the disease—1.3 per cent. Of the doubtful cases nearly 50 per cent suffered, while of those known to be un- vaccinated 58 per cent had the disease— that is, the unvaccinated suffered to an ex- tent 45 times as great as the vaccinated. In those families where none had been pro- tected, of which there were 199, if one child fell sick all the others in the house were sure to be attacked; there were 17 excep- tions. Some families hastened to have all their willing members vaccinated, and in every case it proved a safeguard, and in the supposably urwilling members the pun- ishment of flying in the face of a clearly demonstrated scientific way of escape was an attack of the disease. Dr. Sotin believes that there is no danger from vaccinations done during an ep!- demic; and it seams as if any person who finds himself surrounded by “cases,” ae in time epidemic, would nct fall to submit to it. The rationale of the matter !s this, even supposing that he has “canght™ smallpox, if he is ineculated with the virus of vaccination in time he has two poisons in his system, one virulent and often fatal, the other of a milder diseyse of the same nature, but with less injurious effects; but the vaccine disease runs its course in about four days less than the more vivlent one, and trus Hterally “gets ahead of it,” and there is no doubt that if a sudden and se- ¥ere orset should be made in any commu- nity, by the introduction of infected Per- sons or things from the outside, and a gen- eral epidemic started, it might be “stamped out” as effectually as cholera has been this year in Hawaif, by a universal vaccination. ———+-o+___ Caught in His Own Trap. Frem the Toronto Mail. There is a merchant in this city who, if he never realized before the meaning of be- fng hoist with his own petard, realizes it now. He had for some t:me suspected that one of his two servants was purloining small articles from his bureau drawers. and being unwilling to make ary fuss with- out further grounds, hit on a novel expe- dient for detecting the thief. Among: possessions of his son and heir was a m'nk trap, with which tke boy was accustomed to amuse himself on his vacation, and the gentleman set this apparatus in one of the drawers, covered it with a silk handker- chief and laid a 10-cent piece on the pan. Then he locked the drawer amt awaited de_ velopments. But nothing developed till the third day, when ke himself supplisd the denouement. Opening the drawer in search of some article, he absent-mindedly at- tempted to pick up the 10-cent piece, and e shrill cry rang through the house as the iron jaws closed upon his knuckles. He had forgotten all about his trap until re- minded of it in this extremely unpleasant fashion. He has taken off the sticking plaster by now, and has discarded his new form of thief detector. + +____ $9.50 oak book cases for $5.45, at. Moses’ annual furniture sale.—Advt.

A number of the children who attend the publie sckoel at Langdon were for a time tn great danger during the noon hour yesterday, and how they escxped serious injury was but Ittle short of a miracle. A horse attached to a wagon belonging to Mr. O. P. Putnam, was left by his driver stand- ing on Frankfort street, and the bridle had been takea from the head of the animal to allow bim to feed tore easily. From some unknown cause the aniual became frightened and ran off at a furious rate of speed. " Upon reuching the front of the school building the horse dushed half way up the steps leud:ig to the school, where the children were standing, und all who witnessed the incidant thought that ‘some of the children would certainly be killed. Efforts ‘were made by sev- eral persons to stop the horse, but all proved un- availing, and just as it appeared us thouzh he would certainly Jump on suiue of the little ones. he suddenly turned aside and dushed off in the dircetion of the depet.
