A Banking Experience in Virginia After
the War.
Gov. J. Hoge Tyler of Virginia Is
responsible for this interesting bank
ing story: "Soon after the war, when
banking rates, or discount rates, were
high, an old fellow in one of the south
west counties of Virginia, a farmer,
went to the bank to secure a loan of
$1,000 for five years. OF course this
made the man behind the grating
open his eyes and look at him with
wonder and establishment, and the
farmer was told that they could not
make provision for such loan as that
unless they had the most satisfactory
collateral that could be obtained. The
old fellow asked, 'Collot what?' Col
lateral the banker answered. We'll,
what is that?' the farmer asked. The
banker went on to describe the stocks
and bonds and securities that are
meant by the term collateral. The old
farmer said: Well, if 1 had those
Things 1 wouldn't want any money.
They are better than money, he said.
Well said the banker, you can't get
the money unless you succeed in get

Endorsements, and also in getting his
own name upon the paper and his
wife's as well, and obtained mortgages
on everything he had. He came and
dumped his collateral down on the
bankers desk. They were satisfactory,
and the cashier made out his note for
him for 81 900. and told BIN to sign
it, which the farmer did After signing
the note he passed It over. Then the
cashier counted him out $287.52. The
old farmer calculated, Come on No,
sir said the cashier, that is all you
can get on a note of $1,000 for five
years at our present rate of discount.
Dis what?' asked the farmer. Dis

said the farmer. Why said the cash.
Ter, we take off the discount for the
first four months and the next four
months, and SO on, and then, at the
end of five years your note will only

Federation of Miners, claim to speak
for 100000 fellow workingmen and
voters. Besides clearing off their regu-
lar three months accumulation of rou-
tine business, they had to demand
three great things of the government
and fix a date for that most redoubt
able of all labor demonstrations, a
general strike-the long-threatened
strike of the Federation.

ginning was made in the law of May

that the miners will have to await,

France Faces
Revolution

one of the enigmas of the industry.
Besides this, great masses of miners.
especially in the more prosperous
localities, prefer not to be bound down
to rigid hours. They vote with the
federation, or abstain from voting. but
their interest urges them the other
way. Such was the case of the miners
of Montceau before the strike of 1899,
and such is the case of the non-strik-
ers, called THE Yellows," of today.
The government has at last taken a
firm hand and whenever the Reds store
an abundance of rifles a raid by gen.
darmes (French military police) Is
sure to follow. Several seizures have
already been reported. In some cases
individuals bearing arms are being
notified to deliver them to the govern
ment officers under penalty of death.
The individuals are generally comply
ing with the order but it requires force
