month, not more than S2,000,000
worth of certificates are brought in
to use, and this amount will be suf-
ticicnt to cover the silver bullion
business for the rcriainder of the
year. 1t is calculated at the treas,
nry department that by the 1st Of
JANUARY next the government will
have been deprived Of at least ten
millions of gold, which it would
have received if silver and silver
certificates were not used for the
payment of duties. Should the.
treasury department increase the
amount of coinage, the Use of silver
certificates for the payment of du--,
ties wonld be correspondingly in
creased, but the government would
be wholly deprived of its supply Of
gold coin.

The Silver EBOlIar.

IT REMAINS IN THE HANDS OF THE
GOVERNMENT ALMOST ENTIRELY.
Washington special to New York World.
The mints have now coined in
the neighborhood Of S,OO0,o0o sill
yer dollars, and will continue to
coin them after the 1st Of July at
the rate of about 1000, goo amonth.
There Will, therefore, be about S20,'
100000 of this coin in existence on
the 1st of January next. Almost
the whole amount of dollars thus
far coined is still in the possession
of the government. People do not
want them, and it is utterly impcs-
sible to get them into circulation.
The issue of silver certificates has
reached an aggregate Of 81 ,4e2, 900,
but these certificates, like the dol
lars themselves, come directly back
to the government as soon as they
are issued. The treasury now has
in its various offices ST, 1888, 10 OF
them. The present operation OF
the silver law is as follows: The
government was cou2pellcd at the
start to use gold coin to purchase
silver bullion, but as soon as the
first million Of silver dollars were
coined, the bullion was paid for IL
these dollars. The seller of bullion
immediately passed the silver dol
lar to brokers, who paid them bach
to the government for custom du-
ties. AS soon as the issue of silver
certificates was begun by the gov
ernment these took the place of tht
silver dollars in payment of silver
bullion. The bullion broker nov
receives silver certificates for hi
bullion and the silver dollars do no
go ont of tie possession OF the gov
ernment at all. The silver certiti-
Gates are passed to brokers and uset
In the payment OF duties. The,
are not legal tender, and are no
sought for any other purpose. a
the government will only purchas
! bullion at the rate of $2000,00U

the monopoly of the power to pay
debts without its costing anything.
Ii 1t can obtain valuable consider
alton in solid supplies of one kind
or another and run in deot for pay
ment, and then discharge the deb.
without returning any value, by
merely printing a lot of neatly-en-
graved bits of paper with backs Of
verdant hue, and passing them over
to its creditors, why may we not all
trade in the same way? If il is the
duty Of the Government to furnish
the bits OF paper, with proper de
vices; signatures; and limitations of
seals, it should supply them to all
corners for nothing, or at Most tile
cost OF paper and printing, mas
much AS it obtains them for its own
purposes at that rate.
When this paper- money delusion
IS reduced TO its simplest terms it
seems too silly and absurd for Sc
flous discussion; and yet there is
underneath it a fundamental fallacy
that takes such strong hold on the
minds Of superficial thinkers that it
IS almost impossible to eradicate
1t. Ii Is not confined to the Green
back party, but appears in Demo,
cratic and Republican platforms,
and in the discussions OF people
with high claims to Intelligence.
That fallacy is hat the authority oil
law or the power of Government
can give value to anything that
does not possess it. Few people
fully realize that the only "ab8o>
lutte money" is and must be a mon
ey Of value, containing in its own
substance etery iota OF the value
tor which it Is to exchange. Il
must be worth as much as corn
modify among commodities; to be
put to any ase of which its mate
rial is capable; as it represents as
money. The stamp which tic gov,
ernment puts upon it is no further
value or import than to certify that
it contains SO much metal of a Ger
tain fueness, and it is the value oi
that metal that constitutes the pur
chasing power of the coin. There
is no other means under HEAVIER
and among men whereby value car
be measured but by value there is
and can be no "absclute money
except money of fnll intrinsic val
ne, and the Ingenuity of man. the
power of government; the autholi
fy OF law, and even the declarations
of copHentions, are as impotent to
impart value to that which is no
valuable as to give weight to thai
which is not ponderable. All sub
stuutes tor money, all so-calleo
Representatives of value," serve
merely to effect exchanges by
transferring value and deferling fl
nal payment. They serve tha
purpose completely and perfectly
only SO long us it is known that tbs,
will at any time and at all times
command the money 70: which the,
are substituted, the value which
they represent, IN the definite anC
specific form of the coin thai com
merce has adopted Us its universe
equivalent.

"AUsOIute Money!
TFrom the N. Y. Times

The National observation-disclosures
party, as it is called in the East, or
the National Eabor-GreenBack par
ty, as tile western variety is begin
ming to call itself, has hit upon a
new phrase, with which it seems to
be nightly pleased. The thing it
wants now is "absolute money!
Who It was that first had the hap
pipess of striking that taking term
we cannot say, but we do remem-
Der that the conference of Green
hackers held at Albany few weeks
ago declared that the greenbactz
dollar 'smust be full legal tender
tor the payment Of all debts, pub
lie and private, and by the Governs
ment issued, protected, and receiv-
ed as absolute money! This impera-
tive ana irhpcrious "must" israther
impressive and calculated to make
the most daring person hesitate be-
tore presuming to question the pow.
er and authority of the Albany
conference to declare what shall be
received in payment of debts. As
to the rhetorical inversion OF phrases
IN 'SBy the Government issued, pro-
tected, and received as absolute
money!" that simply settles it and
places the greenback dollar in an
inpregnable, if not an unassailAble
position. If it must be "by the
Government issued. protected, and
received as absolute money! there
is no more to be said. Still, we
are just to that degree reckless that
we question the ability Of the A
bany conference, and the ability OF
any moral power to make "abso-
lnte money" out of greenbacks.-
The National Labor-Greenback
party of Missouri has made an i'm
provement on the Albany phrase
1t demands the issue Of "absolute
money in greenbacks equal to golc
and silver" Neither can they ol
any government under heaven MAX;
greenbacks permanently and steadi
ly equal 10 either of these precious
metals in purchasing power by any
, process but conversion with 1t.
, What do these people mean by
"absolute money 2" Perhaps they
! have no clear idea themselves; bu
one thing they seem 20 be Ger

"Then l will remember last, but

The blood that had turned TO ice

great hot wave to my face now
Was he in earnest! His voice was
sincere enough, but he was smiling
down on me, his eyes dancing pro-
vokingly.
Sidney Randall was an old col

to me when he came, but his one
week stretched into six, and dur

THE WATER MILL.

Listen to the water-mlll
An the livelo lg day,
How the clicking of the wheel
Wears the hours away;
Languidly the autumn wind
Stirs the greenwood leaves;
From the field the reapers sing,
Binding up the sheaves;
And memory DER my mind
AS a spell is cast.
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past.
Summer winds revive no more
Leaves strewn over earth and main,
And the sickle never can reap
The gathered grain again;,
And the rippling stream flows on.
Tranquil, deep. and stilla
Never gliding back again
To the water-mill.
Truly speaks the prOverb old
-. With meaning vast:
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past.
Take this lesson to yourself,
Loving heart and true;
Golden years are fleeting by;
Youth is passing too.
Strive to make the most of life,
Lose no happy day;
Time will never bring you back
Chances swept away.
Leave no tender word unsaid;
Love while lote shall last
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past.
Work while yet the daylight shines;
Man of thought and will;
Never does the streamlet glide
Useless by the mill;
Wait not till to-morrow's SUN
Beams upon your way;
All that yon can call our own
Lies in this--to -dav.
Power, intellect. and health,
May not always last;
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past.
