lowing might go together as explana-
tory OF dramatic local conditions: One
man says: domestic infelicity ran
me into debt, as I had to raise the
money to pay the expenses of di-
vorce suit, by which I got rid of an
unfaithIul wife," The other fellow
writes: II was obliged to raise the
money in order to pay the damages
in suit for alternating the affections
of the wife of a neighbor." And then
he adds: "Alas, I have her."
Ultimately, when all replies have
been received and the cnat1 has been
failed from the wheat, the census Of
flee will prepare and publish bull
letin concerning the uses and abuses
of money by our people. It will then
be seen that now, as formerly, the
value of money is as expressed by Car
lyle: "Whoever has sixpence is SOW
ereign over all men-to the extent of
that sixpence; commands cooks to
feed him, philosophers to teach him,
kings to mount guard over him-to
the extent of that sixpence."
Almost 1900 years ago Cicero knew,
and wrote, that economy is of itself
a great revenue" But until this day
there be few who realize that no man
can be rich whose expenditures ex-
ceed his means, and no man is poor
whose incomings exceed his outgoings.
Even that wonderful humanitarian
philosopher, Wilkins Micawber, under
stood this precept of political econ
omy.
The value of money was 1ersely and
sagely as well as concisely expressed
by Shakespeare: '"The learned pate
ducks to the golden fool" Money will
buy everything except love. That is
unpurchaseable, incompatible, valua-
bic beyond the wealth of India, and not
all the accumulations of Croesus or
of the modern money kings, nor all
the accidental holdings of Monte
Cristo, nor all the treasures of this
world which the most unchecked i'm
agination can conceive can purchase
the love of one pure true heart and
soul. Money can do everything in this
world but that.
The provident man is always a
thoughtful man, living as he does for
the future rather than for the pres
ent, and he necessarily practices self
denial, that virtue which is the crown
ing element in a strong and we'll
formed character. Money is charac-
ter, and it is therefore power. Wealth
gives standing, and the dullest Jest
from a rich man evokes plaudits.
Money opens the gates of imperial pal
aces. The heraldry Of America is
based on greenbacks. Social standing
is indicated by vulgar bank book.
The walls of the holy city are of
jasper, but it's streets are paved with
pure gold. Therefore we may con-
clude that gold is good, and that all
sorts of money are desirable, even to
all mortals who hope some day to
tread the golden streets. How to get
it? All, there's the rup. No poor
newspaper writer would dare to offer
suggestion. SMITH D. FRY.
Willmar tribune., 1900-11-14

ply the desired information, and they
do 80 cheerfully because they have
been informed that the post Office de-
partment desires that every aid shall
be- given to the census Office in its tre-
mendous work.
Answers which have been received
are usually perfunctory, but some of
them are. unique. One man. states that
his friend shot a negro, and the mort
gage was incurred for the purpose of
raising money to bail him out of Jail,
and to pay the fees of lawyers.
A Kansas man frankly writes: ~
borrowedthis money for general house
hold uses on account of failure of crops,
and reckon that you'll think I am =
deuced bad manager, but there are
plenty more in the same fix. Misery
loves company"
One farmer who undoubtedly mixes
in political affairs and likes to talk
politics to his neighbors says: my
debt was contracted for the purpose
of enabling me to pay the tariff on
things l have to buy, and to make up
for the losses have sustained by rea.
son of the incorporation of the
things I have to sell.' That is not
quite so bad as a Frisco Chinaman
who borrowed 5000 from one of his
countrymen and agreed to pay inter.
est at 80 per cent.
But for the fact that they do not
come from the same state the two fol.
