All great steps of progress In the world's history have been met with opposition, ridicule and oven perse cution, At one time there was only one persou on all tho earth who be lieved tho world turned on Its axis; niwi because ho believed It old Galileo was thrown into prison. And still he would not change his views, and on being released said, "And yet it moves." Early In the history of tho Grange, when the good, prosperous yeais hu mediately siiLceetleit our great war had conio to an end and the pinch ing times, commencing with the year IST.'t, came upon us fund still reuiiin with the farmers), some care ful students of events and of causes and eilect discovered that the root of all our evils was in the great ques tion of tinauce. That those who were interested most in making money out of their money were get tiug legislation by which they could get the products of labor at lower prices, enhancing at the samo tinio tho profits on their money. To make any article searco is to muke It more valuable and harder to get hold of, and so by making dollars scarce it made thorn dearer, and it lakes moro days work, more busliels of wheat, more of all the products of the farm to get a dollar than It did when money was more plentiful tind therefore cheaper. Soon the one ido wo havo seen the effort made to Keep in n uy searco and dear, and on the other hand a fulr number of in telligent people lighting to havo It more plentiful, and so aflord tho greatest good totlie .-greatest num ber. The power to coin money or to istue money is given to congress by our national constitution. ONK WAV. One way of issuing money to the people has been to lo.ui it to banks on their government bonds at oue per cent, a year Interest, tho banks loaning it to tho people at six, eight, ten, twelve or more per cent, and thus building up great fortunes as middlemen between the govern ment and the people. TlinSAMKWAY. A few persons years ago advocated that the government should loan money direct to the people ou secur ity just as safe and good as upon government bonds that Is, upon the land. If the government can give value to its paper bonds, It also gives value to its lands. Without a good government, lauds ur bonds havo but little value. KAKNtNClS OF MOKKY AND OK l.AHOH, For many years statistics show that the average Increase of wealth or profits of labor Is about threo per cent (and this includes all factories, mines and farms; farmers well know how small a proportion of even this they get). While these same statistics show that money alone produces without labor moro than double. Therefore, to make all productive Industries and those of labor pay better, we must make money moro plentiful, and therefore cheaper, and this will bring down the profits of money alone to something like an equality with the profits of labor. IT 3IOVKS. Like the little seed cast into the ground these ideas have grown slowly, but surely. And In these days when, not only fanners, but politicians uud politiclal parlies are asking: '-What must ve do to be to be saved'" it comes at last the time for the little rejected plant of progress to bo recognized, and "the stone which the bulldeis rejected Is become the head of tho corner." A ( havo said before, I believe, yes, I know, there Is a general en llment In congress at this time to help the farmer. It nuM bo done for the general good of all cIumms In ourcountiy. And so In this Hue within a few days Heuator Inland Htunfon, of California, one of the wealthiest men In our country (one who sat at the same table with Pa trons at our first geat banquet In California lust November), bus come out fcquurely on our bide. I will give his remedy uml proposed help for farmers Just us It Is reported to the press; 1(18 I'J.AN. Thesenuto committee on f inn nee has in its ow'cw u resolution whloh, Ifudopted, would simply rev olutlonlze iluuiiclul mutters. 'Hie author of the proposed legislation Is fti-UHtor Htunford and he states In the preamble that there stringency In j money and much consequent dls-' tre, the energies of the country being depressed, targe portions of the t furuilng communities heavily bur-; dned and utruggllng for relief. Tlda , strlngMUoy. the resolution nays. I hrgely duo to the retirement of gov ernment h mis th' money advanced upon thoe necurltU haying fur utshed the best and most acceptable currency) nMl the government should therefore repair the damage by loans on real estate, The resolu tion instructs the committee ou finance to enqtiiro what relief may be furnished by tho United States government, - and particularly whether loans may uotbemadoby the government upon mortgages deposited with It upon, real estate, Independent of Improvements, at suchn ratoaud to such an amount only as will make tho security to the government perftct, tho govern ment to receive somo small rate of interest, from 1 to 2 per cent., amplo compensation for the use of its credit, and to prevent tho undue applica tions for loans beyond the needs of the country. And tho government, as a further restraint and provision ugalnst an over issuo (If such a thing bo possible upon perfect security where the interest Is very slight), shall provhio to call in a percentage of Us loans from time to time, upon reasonablo notice, as it may deem necessary, nt Its own discretion, for tho welfare of tho Natiou. IN SUl'l'OKT OK HIS RESOLUTION Seimtor Stauford dolivered a ten- mluuto speeoh, In tho course of whloh ho said: "Money becomes valuable as It stimulates industry and facilitates the exchange of tho products of man's labor. Property itself is valuable according to the uses to which it is applied. Thus supposing a man's wages wee $1 n day, $100 would employ 100 men oue day; but could tho product of tho labor of thoso 100 meu bo Imme diately ntilisced, the $100 might give employment to 100 men every work day In tho year. Tho government bond Is valuable to tho holder on account of tho Interest It cams. As utiouergetlo factor In the transao tlonsof men it only amounts to tho percentage whloh it draws, but when the bondholder by depositing It with tho government receives back 00 per cent, ix government bills, 00 per cent, of Its value becomes energized into an active commodity, giving possible cmploymont to the energies of th country. Tn like manner, if tho farmer were able to borrow from the government without interest a certain amount of its bills, giving his farm as security therefor, to that extent his land would become an nctivo force, uud he would bo en abled, while giving employmont to the extent of tho money loaned him, to improve Ills farm and iucrcaso Its value to tho full amount of the loan. Thus the government loan would bo doing a doublo duty. Now tho ac tivities of this money do not ter minate with Its expenditure by tho farmer; thoso who havo received it in their turn will make use of It as an energizing factor in tho forces of life to an Indefinite period. As money employes labor, It brings to dfo a continuing force, labor beget ting labor as certainly as Its fruits aro valuable." In conclusion the senator said: "Mau Is tho rightful heir to penco and prosperity, and much depends upon tho intelligence of govern ments to represent the associated ca pacities and interests of tho whole. To mo one of tho most eflectlvo means of placing at man's disposal the force inherent In tho valuo of property Is through furnishing a bountiful supply of money based up on unquestioned and secure values." And now patrons and fellow farm ers, here is one moro opportunity to help ourselves. Read this over and over until you get tho Idea fully Im pressed on your mind. Send for cir cular No. 2 on this sumo subject. This Is our country, our govern ment; let it boa government in this direction "for the people." lie prepared for the ridicule and the united opposition of thoso who make money by loaning money. You will find that even farmers who muke more out of their money loaned at high rate of Interest thai) thoy do from tho crops of their farms, uud thoso who are Interested In bunks, will oppose this new de parture. Interested papom will ridicule It, and condemn It, but, 'Trutli is mighty and will prevail." Heek the truth. "Prove ull things and hold fust to that which Is good," In circular No. 2, ou tills subject, will ho found the plan of details for giving farmers sonio of tho tame advutitHges that hayo been felven special classes for many years. Wo cull It tho Grunge plun and with u few such men us l.elund Htunford ou our side I believe we cuu win uild beiiefll millions of our iieople, bringing paice, prosperity and hupplness 'o tens of thousands of homes.
