A FINANCIAL. ALLEGORY.
An Easy Way to Pay Debts Lonely
j valley Tries It.
! There are many books going
into the mystery of our American
financial situation, but the farmer
rarely reads them. Take the latest
and best, Horace White's "Money
and Banking," and while it covers
the whole ground thoroughly and
simply to the student of finance,
much of it would be lost upon the
reader who had not some previous
knowledge of banks and banking,
United States treasury issues, the
meaning of exchange, parity, ratios
and international commerce. What
can be easily understood, and
wherein lies the heart of the whole
matter, is that no earthly power or
government can ; make equal 1
one-half equal a! whole and then
it is easy only when we can set
down to the primary principle of
credit and exchange and leave out
the secondary and obscuring action
of artificial mediums of exchange,
or, in other words; government
created, debt-paying money.
In the story of Lonely Valley, of
eourse,wheat represents gold ; corn,
liver: the farmer, the agricultural
debtor cUss, and the merchant, the
mercantile creditor class; the
udge, the United States, whose
at is relied upon to make fifty
cents' worth of silver equal to one
hundred cents. j
Lonely Valley; was inhabited by
community of farmers. It lay
remote from railways and cities
Wheat and corn were its staple
products. These were sold at the
only warehouse in- the valley, kept
by one Simon j Storekeeper. He
hauled the wheat and corn to the
distant railroad, station, sold them,
and supplied the farmers with
agricultural implements, seeds and
general goods, f Very little money
circulated, principally small change.
All the transactions between the
warehouse and ! the farmers were
based on credit, and every season
the farmers around were- more or
ess in debt uojil their crops were
harvested. The credits were made
by notes something as follows:
Lonely Valley, Nov. ,
Received of Simon Storekeeper
one hundred dollars' worth of credit
or goods, to be' paid one month
after next harvest in wheat or corn
by the bushel, struck measure.
HEZEKIAH UAYCROP.
Witness : Harry Standby.
For many years this state of af
fairs had continued. But. early
one spring a sharp-faced, squint-
eyed man came into the neighbor-
hood ana was noticed to De very
busy among the farmers, while he
avoided Simon's store, the general
place of gathering and gossip. He
complained of the high price of
wheat to pay j debts, one dollar s
credit a bushel, and the difficulty
of raising it,j and set forth the
great advantage's as a debt-payer
of the low price of corn, fifty cents'
worth of credit a bushel, and its
easy cultivation. He at last per
suaded the farmers that be could
get a friend, a member of his so
ciety, or party, as he called it, to
run for judge of the County Court,
and, oiice in office, give a decision
which would (lawfully pay off all
debts at half price, while it doubled
the value of every farm in Lonely
Valley. They had only to plant
corn, and plenty of it, and very lit
tle wheat, and vote for his man for
judge to witness a sudden pros
perity beyond their wildest dreams
The farmers believed his plausi
ble arguments. The corn was
planted; the judge elected.
The judge's first decision was on
the legal bearing and effect of one
of the farmers' notes to Simon
Storekeeper. -
As soon as'he heard of it Heze-
kiah Haycrop posted off to pay his
note, chuckling all - the way. He
hitched his borse in front of Si
mon's door and unloaded one hun
dred bushels of corn. He found
Simon within,, sitting on a flour
barrel, smiling and contented, and
saw at once that he knew nothing
of the recent decision.
"How d'ye, Simon."
"How's yourself, Hezekiah?"
"Right peart, thank'ee. I want
to pay that note got the truck
outside in the wagon."
"AH right; unload, while I get
the note." j Hezekiah had all he
could do to keep from laughing as
he toted in his hundred bushels of
corn..
He sat down and waited for Si
mon, who soon came in with the
note in his. hand.
"Hello, Hezekiah 1" he exclaimed
when he saw the bags of . corn. "I
thought you were going to pay the
whole note. Want to pay half, eh,
and renew the balance? All right.
You and I havetfaded considera
ble, and I can accommodate you."
Hezekiah began, to feel a trifle
badly, and he spoke with a little
hebitation.
"Well, you see, Simon, our new
judge, he had one of these notes
brought, up yesterday maybe you
ain't heard of it and he said a
bushel were a bushel anyhow you
fix it, and one bushel was as good
as another bushel, and a bushel of
corn as good to payj debts as a
bushel of wheat, being a bushel
anyway, and I guess all we farmer
folks is a going to pay that way.
It is the law, and we thinks, being
as we can raise corn cheaper nor
wheat,1 and corn is what our judge
called legal tender same as wheat,
we've a right to pay in 'it."
"Darn your new jutlge! I al
ways thought he was a fool from
wayback. And you,!. Hezekiah,
want me to take a hundred bushels
of corn, worth fifty dollars after I
haul it to market, for One hundred
bushels of wheat, worth one hun
dred dollars in good credit, because
a bushel is a bushel and the court
says so, do you? It is 'an outrage $
a cheat,
fraud."
Your new
udge is a
"It's the law, Simon.'?
"Leave your old corn, Hezekiah,
until I see if it is the law.
I don't
believe it."
"Allj right, neighbor; I'll come
tomorrow. I did want to take
some things home with me in the
wagon, but you don't seem in the
humor j to dicker juet now. I'll
come when you nave found that
law all right and powerful good
thing for the farmers, too, I'll get
the things tomorrow, Simon ; an' I
don't say but I might be willing to
pay a little more, as corn's cheap.
So, mornin' to ye !" j
Simon sent a man to the court,
got the decree and found it as
Hezekiah had said. The judge had
decided flat-footed that a bushel is
bushel, and a bushel of corn,
therefore, as good as a bushel of
wheat. He saw clearly that he
would have to take the one hun
dred bushels of corn brought for
the one hundred bushels of wheat
he bad always previously received
and had expected. It was absolute
ruin to him under the guise of law.
He sat down with his credit book,
edger and stock-book to count up
his losses. But the "I might be
willing to pay a little, more, as
corn's cheap," of his frend Heze
kiah kept ringing in! his ears.
Perhaps, after all, it might not be
so bad- might not be absolute ruin.
He stared at the books (and medi
tated. ! He began to calculate.
Then he began to figure on Heze
kiah's bill. His face cleared. Yes,
it might not be so bad. It is a
poor rule, he thought, that will not
work both ways. j
He called his clerk, he called his
porter ; he took a pen and went to
marking mysterious figures on his
goods.! The three of them did the
hardest night's work they bad ever
done in their lives. But it had to
be done that night, for, as Simon
said, "All the farmers in "Lonely
Valley would be down on him next
day." 1 I
Most of them were, bat Hezekiah
was the first, and was greeted cheer-
ully as by a man making the best
of the situation. j
"I have seen the law. It is as
' . .
you say. Here's your note, neign-
bor; the corn I have stored away.
While I still think the decree an
outrage I will have to submit to it."
"That's so, that's sp. We far
mers only want what the law gives
us, you know: Law s law. o
that's all right glad you have no
hard feelin's, Simon."
"We'll let that passi Hezekiah.
You have your note and I have the
corn so far that is settled. Can
I do anything more fori you?'
Well, yes. I want a few things

"Just as you please, Hezekiah ;

Corn, bimon. corn. All our

Hezekiah, and your friends can

Why, why, why, Simon, I figur

"I am looking at it, but I'm hot

"Then you will have to be cred

"And I'll have to buy of you,

"You will, Hezekiah, undoubt

my crop and you can change your
prices in a night?"!
"The pen is mightier than the
plow, Hezekiah." i
"Then what good does the decree
that a bushel of corn is as a bushel
of wheat do me, anyhow?" I
"None at all. You have simply
been fooled again."
"I don't know what to think o

"Certainly. If I get more than

prices for it. It will go down, or
the prices of goods will go up, just
as you please."
"I'll take the goods, Simon.
But, say, I want a pair of pants for
my hired man. You're not raising
on him, too, oppressing the poor
man. He's got none too much, I
can tell ye."
"i don't Know. How are you
paying him, corn or wheat?"
"Corn, of course. You see corn's
cheap "
Hezekiah stopped; something
seemed to dawn upon him. He
never1 said ''cheaper," for the look
he saw on Simon's face. He was
a deceived, but at bottom an honest
man, and took in the situation.
After a pause he stepped up to Si
mon and held out his hand:
"Old fellow, let's see if we can't
deal on the square again. I don't
like these new ways anyhow you
fix 'em. And if you'll help me
catch that squint-eyed chap that
was around here last spring, I'll
pay all the costs if we get brought
up. When the farmers get a chance
at that judge I guess he will either
have to reverse his decree or leave."
Hezekiah . stayed ' at the ware
house all that day. He talked with
the farmers as they came in. The
result was that Lonely Talley went
back to its old ways of honest
credit honestly canceled. . .
"The 6quint-eyed man was never
seen, fortunately for him, in Lone
ly Valley again. His party, as he
called it, meaning those who be
lieved that because the judge said
a bushel was a bushel anyhow, one
hundred bushels of corn were equal
to one hundred bushels of wheat,
went to pieces like a loose pack of
cards at the next election, and the
judge lost his position. j

TOBACCO MEN PROTEST. -
Object to Export of the Weed from
Cuba at This Time. !
Havana, May 27. A committee,
representing the tobacco manufac
turers' of Cuba, have called upon
General Weyler to protest against
the suspension of the operation oi
his proclamation forbidding the
exportation of tobacco. They rep
resented to him that to permit the
exportation of tobacco now would
cause the closing of factories on
the island and widespread distress
among the operatives. General
Weyler expressed his sympathy and
promised to telegraph to the home
government the i nature of their
representations.
General Arolas was reported to
have retired from the, command of
the trocha on account of sickness.
It is now reported that he has re
signed his command, as his opin
ion was against
General Weyler
that of Captain
in changing his
plans and withdrawing troops from
the trocha. Probably General Ar
olas will leave for Spain on May 30,
though it is reported that he has
reconsidered and will rejoin his
command. j '

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
Hundreds of People Either

. . i
. St. Louis, Ma, May; 27. A tornado,
blowing at the rate of so miles an
hour, struck St. Louis at 5.15 this eve
ning, and raged for half an hour with
great fury,' and as a result hundreds of
lives are lost on both sides of the river.
Many buildings were blown down. and
several river steamers sank with all on
board. i
At present It is impossible to state
the number of lives lost. The hospi
tals are full of injured, and the morgue
contains many dead, while numbers
lay everywhere arson sr the ruins of
aemoltabed bulldines.! A portion o
East End bridge was destroyed. The
grandstand at the fair grounds, and the
woman's portion of the jail were blown
down. Waters & Pierce Oil Works
are burning, and buildings in various
sections of the town are on fire. The
Plant flour mills and St. Louis Iron
and Steel Works were
demolished, and
the immense Cupples
destroyed.

The dead and injured are being ta

the loss was greatest, j H. C. Rice, the

on the East Side climbed across the
demolished bridge1 and reported that
the National Hotel, Tremont House

of dwellings east of there were gone
and many people killed. The B. & O.
and Vandalia round house, Standard
Oil -Works. East St. Louis and Crescent
elevators, and twelve freight houses on
the levee were demolished.
The Republic and several more ex
cursion steamers, with all on board.
are reported lost, and ill the steamers
on the levee have gone down. A rough
estimate would place! the number of
killed and wounded at one thousand
Both the Western Union and Postal
companies lost every wire out of the
city. i "
Louisville, Ky., May 27. A tele
graph operator at Carondale, four miles
south of St. Louis, says : "A railroad
man just walked out from St. Louis re

and everything in great confusion. He
says several city buildings, including
the hospital, are wrecked : the streets

Kansas City, Mo., May 27. Ten peo
ple were killed in a tornado which
struck the village of, Labaddie, Frank-
in county, this evening and the town
of Benick, ten miles from Moberly, in
Randolph county, was completely
wiped out. Nothing definite from
either place. j
THE ST. LOUIS HORROR.
Estimated that Five Hundred
People Were Killed.
St. Louis, Mo., May 28. The awful
sweep of last night's ; tornado is mark
ed to-day by a. devastated district in
the southwestern portion of the city, a
half mile wide and four miles long,
with wrecked buildings, tottering
walls, debris-choked streets and rescu-
ng parties to tell the story of havos
and death. I
St. Louis is dazed by the extent of
the calamity, and itjwill be days be
fore the total loss! of life and the
amount of property destroyed will be
known. I f
The estimates of the number killed
vary from 200 to 500 with the belief
general that the latter figure is the
nearer correct.
The property loss is terrific esti
mates ranging from $10,000,000 to $30,-
000,000. The wind seemed to take the
form of a tornado rather than that oi a
cyclone, the wrecked buildings show
ing none of the twisted irons and gir
ders which usually mark the trail of a
rotary wind storm, j The general trend
was from southwest to nortneast,
through the center of the business dis
trict of the city to about a mile north
of the city. The first heavy damage
was in the vicinity of Lower Urove
and Lafayette Parks, where handsome
residences were wrecked and many
persons injured. The tornado swept
from the northeast as far as the river
when, with a sudden turn to the north
it cleared the Mississippi and tore its
way into the heart of East St. Louis.
In addition to the killed and injured
in St. Louis and East St. Louis, the
cyclone mowed down many people in
other daces. Dispatches received by
the Associated Press gives accounts oi
serious loss of h:e and maimings in
quite a number of places.

The Southern States Exposition at
Chicago Will Not Be Held.
Augusta; Ga., May 28. The pro
posed Southern States Expositon is
abandoned, because the South did
not respond in accordance with the
terms of agreement entered into at
Chicago that nine States should
be represented. South Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama would have
been ready in time Maryland ap
plied for I space. The Southern
Railway; the Mobile & Ohio and
other roads had also applied for
space. These roads would have se
cured exhibits from half a dozen
more States, but this would not
have been; a compliance with the
agreement. The depressed condi

sible to secure favorable action in
the Virginias, North Carolina,
Florida,) Mississippi and other
States. M
