It is a dangerous condition of society where the farmers are reduced to ex- treme poverty, their houses mortgaged, and the owners in rags. This has all been brought about by the contraction of currency. The farmer is no longer the free man he was a few years ago; he has been borne down until ho stands but little higher in socicty than the serf of Russia. “France and Germany furnish an example of themortgage system. In Germany 40 per cent of the farms are mortgaged, while in France only 5 per cent are mortgaged. See the difference in the condition of the inhabi- tants of the two couniries, and then let our statesm en note the results. ““There is uot money enough in this coun- try, and what little there is doesnot go into the hands of the people.

Don't you think thit if you had been making thelaws you would have en- acted one that would have compelied the banker to have opened his treasury and loan itoutat a fair vate of interest? If the gov- ernment would furnish money to the people ab the same rate that it does to tho banks, any honorable man could borrow money and pay it back. But no, the laws are not made that way.
