 A painful and surprising suicide vas commssted on the forenoon of New Years day. William y. Ford s prospectOr and miner, we'll known in tue eOmmunity, rushly ended his life under the following circum- stances; In the morning be called at the drug store of q. c. Hineman and stated chat in his cabln he was greatly troubled by wood-rats, pro- cured arssnic for their destruction. This. t afterwards appeared, he took himself. bub as 1t failed 70 act he seems to have resolved to make sure of deash by more sudden means. Having taken his needlegun into the pack room of Kerr's saloon he shot himself in the breast, lhe ball enter ing at the right of the left nipple and coming out at the left shoulder blade. He lived for some hours af- ter the rash act, and talked With those around hlm in rational, calm manner. When Dr. Thatcher closed the wounds 50 prevent the passage of ar, Ford asked him to let him die in peace, and hinted that he had new. reached the hspplest day of his life. BeFOsc firing the fatal shot he wrote an afFecGOnate letter to his brother Archibald, who resides in Oakland, California, in which he stated as an excuse for the step that he was about to take. that there was no happiness on this earth for hin, and that, ia his opinion, this world was not right. He also stated that nc was in debt, and had promised to pay without be- ing able to do so. IIs had never done any disbonorable act, but knew that he had used liquor too freely. and vas sick al hears Ills letter bears evidence of being written by 2 man in ] perfect cool, collected frame of mind, as does note written by him 1t the same time to Mir. Mack Morris, which reads as follows:
 FRIEND MACK MoRRIs-By the enclosed letter you will see that I am going to commit a rasL act wish you to excuse me for 1t; and please do what you can with my mining property. Pay my debts-I think 1 owe somewhere between Sl 200 and SI 900. Ny brother. Archibald Ford. lives at 356 Aleline street, Oakland, Cal. Good bye.
 WM. ". FoRD.
 The Coroner's jury rendered a virlict in accordance with ihe above facts. and from the evidence ad- luced we believe that Ford was about 46 years of age, that be was not intoxicated at tue time he shot himself, and offered no special req son for his seeking death by violence. He was a Scotchman by birth, and was an industrious. useful citizen, but as n too many similar cases, was his own worst friend. But as poor Billy has gone let chari-y cover his memory with mantle of silence.

EDS. iREE PrEss-As, in your issue
of the l7th, you "forego the luxury OF
even limiting at desire to know what
| think of some of the other financial
propositions of Mr.. De La Matyr, ! will
say nothing more about them; but as
you speak about the "pUchasi"g po'0-
er" OF money, may |, now in turn, ask
you what you mean by the 'pWcha'tng
pO,Oer" of money?
In all the books of political economy
have ever read, English, French or
German, or ancient or modern, | have
never seen it asserted that money had
any '.purchasing po'0er' whatever; but
on the contrary, it is asserted III all OF
them, that there is no "purchasing po'D-
err" i'll money, but only an exchanging
power: the "pmchasMg poOer is, IN
all political economy, asserted to be IN
The Aings Exchanged. In such teatises,
that labor pays for labor, and pro
duct pays for product" are axioms. II
it were not so, why is not money, ID
common parlance, called the 'purchdS-
ing msdium," instead of the 'srchan-
ging medium" as all denominate ii?
The truth is, that this talk Of the ''pur-
chasing power" Of money, is all bosh
and deception, Messrs. Editors; and
YOU have been sold, in adopting it from
the bulionista, who, with malice afore-
thought, use it with the sly, and arttul,
purpose of having money supposed the
primary factor in the exchanging pro
cess; while it, in reality, is only second
ara, and performs the very humble
function of a mere "tool, or token,
or ''order" to be held by the possessor,
until he receives the "labor or product
of labor" in which, only, resides the
paying, or purchasing power, 1t Is
like the paper check, or ticket, you re-
ccive on entering the car, which does
not pay for your passage, but it is only
evidence that your labor, or the product
OF your labor, has paid il. When you
receive an hundred dollars for horse
you part with because you want, say,
two cows, you do not receive the hun
dred dollars as payment tor the horse,
but as stool" "token," or "order" that
al! have agreed to receive for any thing
they have to sell. When you get the
cows, the COWS pay for the horse, aud
the horse pays for the cows, and be-
cause the purchasing power was in
them and not in the money
Think over these facts well, Messrs.
Editors, and you will see there Is no
necessity for intrinsic uaiue in the ''me-
dium Of exchange" because you have
ample security in the intrinsic uaIues Of
the things cychanged-,he horse and
the COWS 10 wit.
