The origin Of the familiar phrases
'straw bail" and "a man Of straw" ID
q most curious one 1t dates back 2, 600
years, when the practice of entering
worthless bail was common. The exact
methods. however, have not been trans
mitted to posterity; but in several old
English works is TO be found reference
to them. In one of these--Fielding Is
"Life of Jonathan Wild" the thiet
catcher-we read that Jonathan's aunt
married man ''who was famous for SC
friendly disposition that he was bail
for abore 100 persons in one year. He
had also the remarkable honor of walk
ing in Westminster hall with a straw
in his shoe.
1t seems that at one time when Eng
lish lawyers wished to procure witnesses
with elastic consciences, or men who
would go bail for their clients, they
went into Westminster hall, into which
the principal courts Of law opened. and
there would quickly recognize the men
they wanted by glancing at their shoes,
from which protruded straw or two,

Of this trademark, SO to speak, these

The value of the pension secured by

payment from the government is III a
great many cases their sole support
depends entirely upon its purchasing
power If that power BIO high, it will
buy much larger supply of the neces-
sites Of life than if calculated in cheap
dollars. 1t requires no argument to
prove that, if this country adopts the
silver standard, prices as based on dol
lars containing so cents worth of silver
will be just twice as high as they are
now Values will be no higher, and the
farmer or worker will get no more than
he does now, but nominal prices will be
doubled. AS the number of dollars paid
for pensions is fixed, it follows that If
paid in silver dollars the pensioner
would receive only one-half as much,
measured in commodities, rent, etc., as
he docs under the gold standard.
These are facts which the silverites
have never attempted to deny. Nor have
they ever proposed to double the PEN
sions- which are paid to the old soldiers.
their widows and orphans. Now. then.
can they expect the country to adopt a
financial system which would dishon-
estlyirob the pensioners of one-half OF

What keeps interest high is uncer-
tainty. That means lack az confidence.
That means low credit and high inter
est
In Idaho, Montana and other far west
states the average interest on farm
loans is over 10 per cent Idaho has had
the severest laws enacted against usury,
but these have not made interest low.
Montana has failed to pay her own
drafts Those who have money to loan
are afraid TO lend in states where the
state itself fails to pay its debts. In
the older states where debts never have
been repudiated the interest ON farm
loans averages from ~ took per cent
This is because men who have money to
loan believe that they will get their
money back They do not have TO charge
high insurance in the interest for fear
they may lose the principal.
The reason western farmers have had
to pay high interest ia that those who
had money to lend were uncertain what
they would get back. They had been
uncertain because they feared repudia-
ton on debased money. Reputation by
southern states for years kept money ont
Of tho south and kept interest high The
free coinage movement at the west has

When sound money comes to stay,
those with money to lend will be more

When the last bonds were sold, the SEQ
rotary Of the treasury stated to congress
that he could save $40, 900, 600 interest
