ization-of SiIver Question
illustrated.

Mr.. Samuel Klumby, of Iowa, was
a prosperous farmer some years ago,
but the grasshoppers swarmed down
upon him, ate out his substance, and
finally he was compelled to go to his
neighbors for help. Said he: +.
Il must hire men to help me fight
the 'hoppers. Lend me 10000 bushels
of oats, and l will pay you 6 per cent.
interest on them, and will in twenty
years wipe out the debt by giving you
10000 bushels of corn or oats at my
option. In this way | can sell the
oats and hire men to kill the hop
perS.
They readily agreed to the profit
able bargain, for they knew that
Uncle Sans fine estates was worth
ten times the debt. They delivered
to him the 10000 bushels of oats, and
took his secured twenty-year notes,
in which he bound himself to pay the
interest regularly, and to give them
two bushels for one at maturity, ''in
corn Or oats.
Uncle Sam sold the oats, hired a
hundred men, and killed and drove off
all the 'hOppers. For twenty years
he has paid the interest every fall.
When the loan was first made corn
was worth much more than oats, and
the holders of Klumby notes hoped
he would redeem them, when the
time came, in corn; but in few years
the relative prices changed-corn fell
and oats rose.
Then the holders Of the notes went
to the Iowa legislature and hired the
members to pass an act on the last
night of the session, when nobody
was noticing what was going on, say.

forty quarts of corn to make Il bushel
1t was put through in the dark,

an infamous measure as the corn

the old notes of old Klumby have
supposed of course that they would be
