nevolent gentleman in one OF the
frontier counties. who. moved by pity

ranrelnent to borrow money at Il per
cent, to lend them to purchase seed,
after adding one 0r two per cent, tor
his own trouble in the premises. He
discovered however that the usury
law would not permit him to take
that one or two per cent, extra; and
so he bought seed wheat and seed
corn ana sold It to his neighbours. at
such price that it was equal to % per
cent, interest on the money invested.
The simple question arises Why did
not this philanthropist furnisha I the

their value. IT gold had no value for
other purposes than as money 1T would
have no value as money. Mr. Donnelly
does not think So
Wheat is more valuable than all
other articles of human food because
it is richer than all others in the ele-
ments necessary for civilized Inan,-it
/ is brain food as well as body food and
the more cultivated community be-
comes. the greater is its desire for
/ and consumption Of wheat. This great
fact does not depend upon legislation
or public opinion: 1t is inherent in
the nature of the wheat plant. Meth.

We agree with Mr.. Ayres that the
people of the Stateshave not regarded,
and do not regard the old bonds as "a
