NOT A QUESTION FOR ARGUMENT.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The question to whether gold or silver has
been the more constant measure OF values during
the last fifty years Is. I think debatabIe. The
question as TO whether some scheme might be de-
vised which would make bmetallic standard
safe is also debatabe. But this ic-to-l business
cannot be debated Tie first condition OF credit
giving is belief in personal integrity and honesty.
People who do not admit. as postuiates. the Ten

discussion. Why hope TO educate such? II seems
that there is not teacher needed but

FARMERS VIEW OF CHEAP MONEY"
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir / have been reading regarding the Cheap
money" in The Tribune. / have 10 say that
my best farmer friends able and willing to pay
their debts In good, honest money. II is all true
that farms that sold fer So an acre twenty years
ago are not worth over so And when a farmer
has h pay TWO bushels of wheat for days work.
10 wonder land falls In value. When farmers get
land out West for nothing. for g or 80 acre.
they can grow wheat for - cents bushe. but 1t
costs than that farms worth $50 acre.
We are told that Americans are the richest and the
best people in the world; then the way to retain
their good name is 10 pay their debts in the best
money In the world
The best farmers kept out Of debt by cultivating
economy while cutivatng corn; plain living and
hsh thinking. good management good money and
a good moral character keep the farmers IN the
useful front ranks OF humanity. We sold heat for
81 u bushel 10 pay for my old farm over ff.y
years ago; farmers were careful then. and went to
church in homcspun, and you could tell the minis
ter by his black coat; but the farmers coat is as
black the minister's now.
A recent writer thinks the horse rake drove away
poetry from the farm; think the horse rake arl
the horse reaper reduced the drudgery and in.

ever, there are exceptions. A young
Christian man fell in love with a very
poor. fatherless girl, who at the time
was also q Buddhist. He wished to
marry Mer, but would not do so until
she became Christian. He put her
under the care of catechist and his
wife, who taught her. and he paid for
her board and lodging. After a few
months she was baptized, and a month
later married, the bridegroom paying
for her wedding attire
