Tlie.TouiSN-Ati liat printed the so
called grange plan of making gov
ernmeu loans without Interest on real
estate. It isPeimtor Stanford's plan
in reality. There is some danger of
its being seiloimly considered by
large and intelligent bodies of citi
zens. Hence we have printed the
"plan" in full, as amplified and
made palatable with the agricultural
treacle of national grango lecturer
Whitehead. Wo may publish the
whole series of articles if they are
all as well dished up as this Is. At
same time we shall attempt to show
up the fallacies involved.
Several truths are stated by White
head: that wo had the best times
when there was most currency afloat
between 1805 aud 1873; that capital
ists secured farorauln financial legis
lation nt the hands of government
wheu it needed credit, (which is the
case iu all countries, and llioo inter
eted iu securing good lates of inter
est are Interested iu making mouoy
scarce.
The grange lecturer also states a
great economic principle of govern
mentthat "the power to coin
"money or to bsuo money is given
"to congress by our national constl
"tution." Is there iiny powcrulven
congress to issue money for the pur
pose of loauing it V Will some
friend of this plan please point it out
to our readers?
Wo shall not allow thonrgunieut
that congress has authorized the
issue of money to be loaned to banks,
lieciiuse It Is agreed by all the fiieuds
of the Stanford system that the na
tional banking system is too expen
sive, is a system favoring a sueclul
class of capitalists nud must bo abol
ished in time. We assume that
with the extinction of tho national
debt tho basis for iho uatlonal bank
circulation will cease to exist and
that no other claps of bonds or secu
rities will be good enough to bo ac
ceptable to all Interests as a basis for
circulation. So It will not do to ar
gue that the government has loaned
to these banks aud therefore It cau
loan to tho farmer.
The uatlonal bank system Is an
tagonized, opposed aud discredited
by the samo elemeuts of ilnancial
reformers who then turn about and
argue that a limited system which
they discredit aud oppose shall be
made a general government policy
toward all chuses of citizens.
Tho objections to tho "grange
plan" aro numerous and i-crlous,
They are nerlous because there Is
a great danger of Its adoption. It Is
a plausible theory for reducing rates
of interest. It is a direct proposal
that government shall become an
active participant and agent in tho
loan market. It is admitted that
good government shall reduce inter
est to a minimum and abolish and
prohibit usury and usurous contractu,
but that it shall go into the money
market as a loan agent Is an auom
aly fruitful of dangerous complica
tions. The people aro tho govern
ment, and for tho people to under
take to do for each other In their
governmental capacity what they
will not do for each other as individ
uals under pressure of competition
and direction of holf-intercst, will
only result lu those best situated In
reference to government to that ex
tent getting advantage of those less
favorably Hituuted.
No matter how a law could ho
framed to guard government loans,
the same objections, only greater and
more numerous would arlM?, that are
offered against the uatlonal banking
law. It Is evident that much real
estato Ih already so encumbered or of
so little value that no loans could be
made upon It. Much real estate Is
Is so iu1maimged or so unproductive
that It could not be made to pay any
interest. It is acuuied that all such
real estate, or real intuto with lm
IHirfoct title of any kind could not
seuure-it louu. 'I be most profitable
and iiii)t favored kinds of realty

If the peace of a continent restfi

little to product) a general explosion,
and tho unnatural situation comes
to a buddeu end. Even an old
grandmother can prodttco a serious
sounding clatter ot arms over a

Guided by the correct Idea that
flic Kingdom of Art is uot. hemmed
iu by political boundaries, tho ex
Empress Frederick, with tho con
sent of tho present Chancellor of
Geruiauy, visited tho artists of
Paiis to invito them to the great
exhibition of art productions, which
shall tako place at Berlin next sum
mer. Tho French people not un
derstanding this innocent pretext,
saw iu her presence a diplomatic
mission, and the furrows ou the
foreheads of tho Parisians waxed
deeper with each succcediug day.
l'lie rumor that tho presence of the
ex-empress means tho postponement
of tho Franco-Ruusiau Allllauce,
which Is tho eagerly sought for talis

march to Berlin and dictate terms
of peace, to revenge hersolf for tho
bitter terms which sho had to accept
from the Immoveable Iron Chancel
lor, who had his master crowned

of France. Mouoy was no object to
the downtrodden nation, and she
would havo paid millions more If
Bismarck had spared them the great
humiliation of marching his victo
rious army through the streets of
Paris. But march they had to, and
the sacred Arch of Triumph was
disgraced and vilified by whetting
German swords on Ith solid founda

And now comes tho wife of tho
great commander Frederick, who
fortified his positions with costly
objects of art, while ho was Invad
lug the grandest art oily of tho
world. Tho lino pianos of Ver
sailles were placed behind tho earth
works and garden walls, for tho
German soldiers to stand on, so they
could take bettor aim at tho French,
who at the same time wero fighting
amongst themselves.

during the week beginning mid
night Sunday, are showing a change
In demeanor. This chaugo became
noticeable yesterday in a reatlessuesa
which has not marked tho conduct
of either Slocum or Smller since tho
first few days after they received
their sentences, The passing of
Saturday without any move on tho
part of their lawyers towurd
preventing tho execution of their
sentence, seems to havo made
a powerful Impression on tho
murderers. They apparently begin
to realize that this is their lust week
of life. Warden Brush has the
preparations for the electrocution
well in band. The state cominUt

carrying out of the law's sentence,
will visit tho prison some day thU
