I may venture to call attention! 's to a matter whereby land may be converted into a security on which money u can be borrowed from banks and bankers without the necessity of making a ? conveyance of the land as security for 0 each loan. It is a plan which has not " yet been adopted, and to which there may be objections unkuown to inc, but 1 in all but one respect the suggestions ' that I make are a part of the common ! practice in many places, especially in , ' Philadelphia and Baltimore. What I suggest is this: j The conveyance of land by the ordi nary method is by registry of deed, under the guarantee of a title insurance ' company and on condition of the pay- . mcnt of a ground rent without any promise to pay a principal lump sum se- c cured in part by mortgage iu the usual 0 way. I do not promise perpetual ground n reuts, but ground rents terminable at the ? option of the buyer or lessee on given 8| notice, not terminable at the option of the seller or lessor. It is the common j* practice, uotably in Philadelphia, to sell ^ and convey land subject to a terminable rent under an insured title to capable J* men, who, being iu good health, also get their lives insured for an amount L\ ' equal to the valuation of the land. The lessees theu join a building society, and jV thus procure the means for building a :! house on the leased lot, becoming ulti- * mately their owu landlords by payiug up their assessments in the building society and by ultimately compounding the rent 'l by payment at a valuation in one sum P either iu installments or in one payment 8s The plan which I suggest is to add one single element to this method, name- |e Iv, thnt the obligation to pay reut upon 'n tlie land should be represented by what T*'1 tain period in advence,>}N^ 1 J pe q{ rot rent at such othccof , purchaco tvv! "STtMETby L eivcu sum of money ior Tohn eR ?

When he ' bus purchased all the lent certificates at v $100 each he will have be< ome his own I landlord. These rent certificates consti- ' lute a iicn upon the laud as good to him, * John Smith, as they are to the original * holder, and he need not ctiicel them. 8 Or let us suppose that John Smith, be- ' iug the owner of land free of cecum- ' brauce, upon which his house stands and ' which constitutes his farm, executes rent 1 certificates recorded noon that farm with ' a trust company, title insured, and him- 3 hiins If becomes the posses-or of such ' certificates, would no' these become the ' first lien upon the laud, not as a mortgage, but as a lieu, subject to foreclosure if the rent is not paid. Would not these transferable rent certificates then become available to be deposited with banks, bankers or trust companies as security for temporary loans fron seasou to seasou? -1 A 4-11 1 A. I am not a lawyer nuaeauiiut ieu wimt techui al difficulties (heic may be iu the way, but this seems to me to be the easiest way, under our present foimof registry of title by deed, to put iund into a . form in which it c in he assigned as security for temporary loans w ithout going . through an examination of title, and I without the execution of papers of con , veyance aud insrtgage each time that a I loan is made. In presenting this subject, permit mo to call attention to the fact that the craze for more depreciated money in the form ? of depreciated silver coin or for governl' ment paper or for government louns, hns "" about run its sli >rt and dangerous course " The South, of all sections of this country, being dependent upon the sale of its ex y cess of product for foreign export, has a v greater interest in maintaining the puseut staiulaid of value on the unit of a gold IS dollar than anv other tection of this 1 country. Its lack has not been want of mnnov. but want of credit?want of bank lng lustitut ???!?, ana want ot facilities lt for borrowing money even on good seeur,, ity. The South, of all sections of this c country, can least afToid the discredit of nl debased silvei, and also possesses the jt surest control over the gold of the world, IS if it chooses to maintain the standard of nH value. It, theicfore, sefmfpfobable that the movoinent which is now being made vn for taking the tax off the circulation of ? State banks, supplemented by methods which may render it easy to borrow true e money of the best kind on the best kind of security, will presently pi ice the Southad ern States again on the road to progress Id and to greater and t renter development, rd In is with this end in view thar I proof sent these somewhat < rude suggestions for ?t readily converting land into a bankable io seeuiity on which loans may be negotiatia, ed, payable in s undard coin of the 'est 'he kind; that is to siy, in coin which if worth us much after it is melted as it 1' purports to be worth In the coin itself. That is the only kind of coined money that is good. Our present silver dollars are bad money because they do not meet this condition. They are worth but seventy cents after they are melted. Yours truly, Edward Atkinson. NOW COMES THE JUNE RISE. The Kisaissipi Levees Are Crumbs ling Away.
