In 1901 A. ID. in a stone eight feet

The law Of bribery was stated thus:
IF a man bear witness in a case for
gain or money he shall himself bear
the penalty imposed in the case"
Breaking into mud brick houses was

And why do the "high financiers'
want this country to cancel this debt
or postpone indefinitely its payment?
1t is because they think only-or too
much-of the man who makes the mar
gin of profit and they forget to con-
slider the consumer. From the stand
point of the maker of cutlery, home
spuns, cambrics and glassware, the
ideal condition would be high wall
around the continent keeping all other
makers of such articles from selling
any of them to the American people.
But from the standpoint of the eating,
wearing, using, consuming American
public, it is good to have the debtor for
eigner pay his debts-even in goods.
All debts are paid in goods in the end,
if they are paid. Money is only a
measure of debt.
Ten billion dollars worth of goods
gently flowing into this country would
be ten billion dollars worth Of useful
things for the people to consume. 1t
would be ten billion dollars worth of
material wealth to replace that much
material wealth which went out of the
country during the five years of active
war.
And the same principle applies to
the lending or sending of capital" to
Europe. We like Europe and we want
Europe's trade. But it is well to bear
in mind that every dollar and every
dollars worth that goes to Europe ITO
stabilize credit" is that much subtract
ed from the material and labor that
might be used to rebuild American cit
les, reconstruct American railroads,
add to the capacity of American fac
tories, perfect American highways,
construct new American harbors, open
mines, reclaim lands, increase food and
clothing for the people, and, finally, to
provide leisure, pleasure, and to foster
education and the arts in this great
republic.

A Calamity We Could Endure

A "PROMINENT American finan-
"A cier" (anonymous) tells the repre-
sentative, in London, of an American
newspaper that it would be "a calam-
ity" if the British were to pay what
they owe to the United States-"a ca
lamity to the United States"
We wouldn't want four billions in
gold, nor four hundred and seventy
five millions (due in interesD in either
gold or goods, dumped into this coun-
try.
So the financier reasons.
If paid in goods wouldn't the goods
compete with American goods and
drive them out of the market? Ger
tainly. And wouldn't that be calam-
ity? Of course.
So it is clear that the only danger
about that foreign debt is the danger
that it will be paid. Any time the Brit
ish wish to reduce their account with
us they will begin building up our use
less gold reserve (you can't eat gold)
or they will be sending us cutlery,
homespuns, cambrics and glassware,
throwing the American workman out
Of work, driving American capital into
idleness, and precipitating hard times.
Of course.
So the only safe thing to do with
that four billions and the other five
billions owed by the other nations, is to
forget it!
But wasn't that debt created with
real money and real goods? Were not
those dollars supplied to the govern
mept by people who bought Liberty
Bonds? And didn't we send real pork
and real beef and real cotton abroad
when we created that debt?
We did.
And is it a rule in sound finance
that we prosper most when we get
nothing for something?
No, my children, that is only a rule
in sshigh finance"
