ed the opinion that it would not be pos
sible to place as much as 800 900. 900 of
the loan among individuals and in
small sums. Explaining his reason for
this opinion. he said
Our people are very different from
the French people. if you please, in
Whost country there are no savings
banks. In our country there are 5000
600 people who have money in savings
banks at general average rate of in
terest of per cent. The money is
available to them az ar" moment, The
temptation and self-interest to invest
in per cent. bonds and disturb their
little balances in the savings banks is
not very great.
In France the Individual has his
money, his little savings. slowed away
in a stocking or sack or a private
hoard. 1t is in cash. Ii is drawing no
interest generally. and when the gov
eminent puts out a loan it is his oppor-
tunity Our people have larger oppor-t
tunities. That is the principal reason
why | think the whole 800 900. 900 will
not be taken by private persons

MEN CHEAPER THAN HORSES.
Animal Hire in Russia Exceeds That Paid for
Human Labor.

In Russia the wages of a horse are
higher than those of a man and hence.
of course. very much higher than the
wages of women Thus. in the Nishni-
Noigd section. we find the average pay of
man and horse to be about - cents per
day: Of man alone. "a cents: that is. 81
cents for horse and 81 cents for man. The
women receive from 10 to 20 cents. In the
central agricultural region the average is
Horse. % cents: man, 20 cents; woman. l.;
cents. In the southern steppe: Horse. Sc
cents: man, . cents; woman IS cents.
This is an interesting commentary on
the standard of living of Russian agri-
cultural laborcrs. Its meaning is. simply
that human beings are cheaper there
than draft animals In other words. it
costs less to keep them alive. In the
southern steppe five women can be en-
pioyed more cheaply than two horses.
Is ii difficult to imagine the condition of
home life the dearth of refining nflu-
enCes the sodden hopeless stagnation
that sucn a state of affairs reflects? Is
it any wonder that the products of such
Il wage status as this are individual deg
radiation. social barrenness, meager elu-
cation, political despotism. religious in
tolerance. and. generally. a type of civil
liza ton scarcely above arbarism?- Gun
