NATIONAL CAPITAL. Stanford Explains His Land Loans Bill. Cheap Money for the Farmers and Lots of It. The House Further Considers the River and Harbor Bill. The Republican Majority in the House to Be Increased by Two—Other Capital Cullings. .'Associated Press Dispatches. I Washington, May 23. —In the senate today consideration of the naval appro priation bill was resumed and continued until 2 o'clock, when the silver bill was taken up; but in a few minutes it was laid aside to allow Senator Stanford to address the senate on his bill providing for loans by the government on agricul tural lands. "We can all well understand," he said, "the great advantage to the people at this time of the loan made to national banks, by the government, of ninety per cent, upon its own securities. One hun dred thousand dollars of government bonds, at four per cent., only produce $4,000, which, when its value becomes energized to the extent of, ninety per cent, (which the government advances) its power is so increased that the $90,000 in activity may in the course of a year double its value, and pass from hand to hand many times, stimulating the various industries of the country. So, too, this bill will have a corresponding energizirg effect. The mo»ey issued under it is not intended to accommodate farmers alone, but as it conies into cir culation it will put the means of pros perity within the reach of those who are engaged in the smaller and larger in dustries of the country. This money issued by the government becomes auto matic. It will contract when there is iess use for it, and expand when there is a greater demand. Thus disastrous contraction will cease to be possible." He argued that the rate of interest proposed, 2 per cent, is fixed for good reasons. No farmer will borrow unless he needs money, and when he ceases to have use for it lie will return it. But this will seldom occur, for money bor rowed of the government at 2 per cent can readily find use at higher rates in other interests, and thus the farmer will be benefited. Six per cent interest is a burden that the farmer cannot well bear; while, owing to activities of busi ness, the merchant finds it a reasonable rate to pay. The value of money lies in its activities. This plan of loaning money upon land at two per cent., with the privilege to the borrower of return ing it when he has no use for it, creates a moneyed system that will meet financial expansion and contraction, as they may occur, without inconvenience to any. Under its provisions, the real estate of the country being so vast, there will always be a possibility of obtaining the money necessary to carry on the enter prises of the country, and when there is no further use for the money, the bor rower stops paying interest and lakes up the mortgage upon his farm. In conclusion he said: "The bill, while not perfect, provides fairly well machinery to carry out its designs. If adopted with such amendments as shall seem wise to congress, it will largely in crease the prosperity of the humblest classes in labor and assist the wealthier to success in their enterprises. Tlie bill provides for what may perhaps not im properly be termed a revolution in finance, and I do not expect that it will be adopted until it has been fully con sidered by the people and met with their approval. I move that the bill be referred to the committee on finance." The bill was so ordered. The naval bill went over. Call offered a resolution calling on the president for information as to the land ing of an armed force from a revenue cutter at Cedar Keys, Florida, the forci ble entry of bouses and the pursuit of citizens. On motion of Edmonds it was laid over. After executive session the senate ad journed. The tariff bill was received in the senate this afternoon and referred to the committee on finance. . . HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. Consideration of the Kiver and Harbor 11111 Continued. Washington, May 23.—1n the house today, Flower, of New York, introduced a bill subjecting oleomargarine to the provisions of the laws of the several states. Referred. On motion of Vandever, of California, from the committee on irrigation, a reso lution was adopted, calling upon the secretary of war for information relative to the climate of Arizona, New Mexico and parts of the arid region. The house then went into committee of the whole on the river and harbor bill. Post, of Illinois, offered an amend ment appropriating $250,000 for securing a continuous navigable waterway be tween Lake Michigan and the Missis sippi river, and a continuation of the survey of the Illinois river. Henderson objected that the com mittee had not considered the proposi tion. Vandever, of California, said jealousy between Chicago and St. Louis hitherto prevented the adoption of this grand national project of connecting the lakes and the Mississippi; a project which would certainly be carried out in the end and place Chicago at the head of Mis sissippi navigation, as well as in com mand of lake navigation. Hill, of Illinois, explained that the Hennepin canal was entirely indepen dent of tliis proposition. Catching, of Mississippi, moved an amendment by fixing the appropriation at $125,000. This was accepted by Post, but the entire proposition was rejected by the house. When the paragraph appropri ating $500,000 for the construction of the Illinois and Mississippi (Hennepin) canal was reached, Turner, of Georgia, made the point of order that the com mittee had no jurisdiction over canals. Pending a decision, the committee rose and the house took a recess until evening. CAPITAL CULLINGS. The Republican Majority in the House to be Increased. Washington, May 23.—The house committee on elections today acted upon three pending contested election cases, and the result will probably be an in- HIE LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 24, 1890. crease of the republican "majority in the house by two members. The cases de cided were those of Langston vs. Vena ble, fourth Virginia district; Miller vs. Elliott, seventh South Carolina, and Chalmers vs. Morgan, second Mississippi. In the first two cases the committee will report in favor of seating the republican contestants, Langston and Miller, but in the Mississippi case the report will be in favor of the sitting member, Morgan. Long and Short Haul Decision. The interstate commerce commission today decided the case of Lehmann et al., of Humboldt, Kan., against the transcontinental lines for charging a higher rate on sugar from San Francisco to Humboldt than to Kansas City, a longer distance. The commission holds that the lower rate to Kansas City was forced on the carriers by competitive conditions, and that the rate to Hum boldt was not only not unreasonable, but lower than it would be except for the conditions on the Kansas City rate. Confirmations. Registers of land offices — Joseph Tracey, Humboldt, California; John F. Sheehan, San Francisco. Receivers of public moneys —Alfred I). Campbell, Miles City, Montana; Jay R. Sanborn, Cieur d'Alene, Idaho. William H. Davis, San Francisco, su pervisor of census, first California dis trict. International Railway. McCreary, of Kentucky, today intro duced a bill in the house to provide for a survey for an international railway to connect North and South America. The Cedar Keys Trouble. The secretary of the treasury has re ceived a telegram from Collector Pinker ton at Cedar Keys, Fla., saying the town is still controlled by Cottrell in fluence, the situation being critical. Orders have been issued for the revenue cutter McLane to remain at Cedar Keys until it is considered by the officials there that her services are no longer re quired. Disobedient Cattlemen. The president having received infor mation that cattlemen are invading the Cherokee strip, in violation of his proc lamation, has instructed General Mer ritt to rigidly enforce the provisions of the proclamation. THE CHARLESTON'S MISSION. Rumors That She Has Gone to Honolulu to Prevent Disorder. Vai.i.e.jo, Cal., May 23.—Previous to the departure of the Charleston, the Vallejo Chronicle says, the vessel was expected to go to South America, but her sealed orders will take her, instead, to Honolulu. A naval officer in posi tion to know is authority for the state ment that probable trouble on the con vening of the Hawaiian legislature when the new members of both houses take their seats and new officers are to lie selected, is the reason, and it is under stood that the vessel goes at the request of the Hawaiian min ister. It is, moreover, rumored that the officers have instructions to put her to her fastest speed, and try to beat all previous records between San Francisco and Honolulu. This rumor is hardly to be credited, as to do this would exhaust her coal bunkers. An other rumor has it that the vessel is to return in six weeks to assist at the trial trip of the San Francisco. Washington, May 23. —Mr. Carter, the Hawaiian minister, denies emphatically the truth of the report telegraphed from Maie islan 1, to the effect that lie had re quested that the cruiser Charleston be' sent to Honolulu to psevent possible trouble on the assembling of the Hawaiian legislature. LARD COMPOUND. Congressman Wilson Thinks Taxing it Will Not Benefit the Farmers. Washington, May 23. —Wilson,of Ken tucky, today submitted to the house, from the committee on agriculture, a report containing his views on the bill reported by the committee on agricul ture, taxing compound lard. From the arguments presented before the commit tee in favor of the bill, the inference is drawn, the report says, that the imme diate result of its enactment will be to increase the value of every hog in the United States 32 cents, in the farmer's hand. The claim that the depreciation in the value of swine and lard is due to the manufacture of lard compound, Wilson holds, is not to his mind estab lished. The greatest injury to the farmer and his hog crop comes from the unscrupulous methods of the packing house and stockyard buyers. Wilson is reluctant to enforce the measure, which, he believes, will either increase the price or restrict the sale of healthful food, and which would do the farmers no good, but the laboring man an in jury.
