rowing $9500 and paving interest therenpon

II buying 5000 bushels of grain for future de-
livero from an elevator company or from
some one who has contract originally so
bought, and depositing $3.50 or five cents per
hushel and maintaining that margin with the
current market price "a a guaranty of good
faith to fulfil the contract and accept himself
or whoever his ,ntract may he transferred
to, when the time comes to accept, the de-
livery, is gambling, then every merchant,
turist in this and every other country is gam
hing and gambling worse than these en-
change transactions and in more reckless
manner for they do not exsct any guaranty
for fnlhllment but have to resort to the courts
to enforce SPEC hc performance or recover
damages. The man who buys house for
$4,000 and navs $500 cash and gives mort
gage for S2500, is also buying on margin, for
there is no warranty that his property may
not decline in value and he lose his $500 mar
gin, yet at the same time the value of his
house and lot NAV go mp and he is able to
sell it for $500 although he actually had only
$500 guilty in the property.
There is counterfeit of almost everything
that is senuine, and know there is in the
stock brokerage and commission business,
but the exception | take is to the "maryinal
business" being STYLED gambling, as l have
demonstrated that it is not.
