TIE Jo1~nal some time since, in
speaking OF our having adopted the
caeh.in-advance system. has this to
say;
I'VE are glad to sec that cur
nelghbor Of The ARGUS has adopted
the "cash-in-advance. system in
reference TO subscriptions. Our
contemporary IL quite right in de-
clarlng 1t to be the only plan to
make his paper financial success.
We hope no subscriber of THE AR.
GUS Will think tins new departure OF
that paper mere within, or meas
ure Of convenience. Mr.. Hyde's
Tong experience IN newspaper work
has taught him that it Is the only
plan by which he can make his bn-
sluess a financial success. 1t IS.
therefore, not whjm, or a mere
rule OF business, hut d ueceesity. We
advise every subscriber to TIE AR
GUS who wants the paper, TO renew
AIS subscription promptly. II he
wants the paper and latls to DO so.
We trust he will not blame TIE Ar
GUS, II he finds bis paper discontin-
ued.
Let any man reason the matter
with himself. Suppose, reader, YOU
are farmer. You raise 600 bush
els Of gram. That IS your pr.ncioal
income per year. 1t is worth one
dollar bushel, Suppose by the ua-
ture Of things that you can not cell
more than one bushel to each person.
Now, could you afford to sell il out
Ia Oushel-lots all over the county.
and let each purchaser have his own
time TO pay pay when he pleasss ?
Would you attempt to do business
on that sort Of a plan You would
not, because you could not.
The terms Of The ARGUS. as ara
those OF the Jownql. are $3.50 a
year, IN ADVANCE The Tin advance
Is a part Of the terms. Those who
want the paper ought to comply
with the terms those who do not
comply with The terms, ought not TO
expect to receive :he paper.

Brief Reply to Col. Isbell.

l. We did not refer to any book on
political economy, but to "the teach
ings of the science" and he does not
deny the doctrine taught, nor the facts
presented. The Colonel seems in the
outset to be as much opposed to books
as Queen Ann or Gov. Berkeley, but
at the close he manifests better spirit.
2. He says we did not approach the
subject in a proper manner. Perhaps
MOTTO sttit him!
3. He says the world has often been
imposed on by the idea that money has
an intrinsic value. We think oftener
by its not having it, as we showed by
the Confederate paper and gold dollar
last week.
A. Worcester and Webster say that
money is stamped metal, generally gold
or silver, and this accords with the
science Of political economy, but Col.
Isbell says it is "the creation of con.
ception and law, neither of which has
any intrinsic value" This is what he
means by being San advanced political
economist p Verify sol But a con-
ception without intrinsic value is MOTH
ing, and law without it is valueless |
B. His party seems to consider plat
forms an incubus, and hence it makes
a new one for every campaign.
6. The old man who used the stone
to balance his pumpkin was rather be-
hind the age, but yet his philosophy
was better than the Greenback doc
trine, which does not balance its infla.
ted currency even with a stone, much
less with the standard weights of gold
and silver.
7. We have failed to find the "bot.
tom facts" at the basis of his financial
neutrality-suspicious. they are like his
currency, have not weight enough to
hold them steady and have arisen to
thin air on the wings of imitation.

The Worlds New Departure.

The Morning World comes out boldly
against the 1908 and Reputation and
for compromise at 50.4. So far, so
good but we regret to see it offer the
olive branch of peace in one hand and
the sword in the other. If it means
compromise and harmoney in the Dem
ocratic party it must not expect to &C.
complish these results by open war
upon either faction or the men and
means by which the 1908 was adopted.
Compromise and harmony mean, let
the dead bury the dead, bygones be
bygones, the future alone to be looked
to. We need not do more than say
that the STANDARD took the position
above stated before the World began,
or was born, and while we do not now
intend to enter a discussion of the
questions it involves, we refer our
readers to our issues of last March, 18th
and 18th, in which we raised the first
voice In the State against the 1908,
and at the same time condemned
reputation and pronounced for set
Element at 50-4. This was the time to
fight the 1908, before it became law,
while the Legislature needed the voice
of its constituents and the people
needed arousing to the new situation.
Since that time it has been before the
courts and needed no counsel, advice
nor agitation on the part of the press
and people. When the time comes to
strike a blow for compromise at 5O.4
and thus unite the Democracy as of
yore, we will claim the rightful peer
age of this position over the World and
"the rest of mankind" and be found
in the ranks for an honorable compro-
mise, the honor of the State, and Dem
ocratic unity. Till then our mission is
the encouragement of our home insti.
tutions and industries, and the building
up four country morally, socially and
financially to Its highest capacity.

The Money Problem.
BY P. G. IsBELL.


Editor Standard Il have just read
the leading editorial in your last issue.
As the article is short explanation Of
the money element, and as | claim to
be an advanced political economist,
can successfully reply to it only in a
series of papers, which hope you will
permit me to do. You can say what
you think about them as 90 on.
ANY writer who relies alone upon
come work on political economy for
what he says is not very well prepared
to appreciate advanced views on great
leading question. You have not ap-
preached the subject in a proper man.
ner. No writer can take up great
question anywhere along the way and
write intelligibly even to himself. He
must commence at the bottom, and
then bottom facts will guide him safely
to sound and reliable conclusions. lido
not take it for granted that the writer
from whose book you selected the ma
terial for the basis of your article ex.
hausted the subject and left nothing
for advanced thought to develop.
Queen Ann issued her edct that no
more pamphlets or books be kept and
read in the Colony of New jersey,
because they had bad influence on
her subjects" About the same time
Lord Berkeley, Governor of Virginia,
said: 81 thank my God that we have
neither schools nor printing presses in
Virginia, and | hope we may not have
tor thousand years, for they addle the
heads Of the people and make them
Inruly."
Money is a powerful factor in the
conduct of human affairs. 1t has often
peen said by some of our leading men
hat the money element was beyond
he comprehension of mind
1t might be that the book upon
shich you rely for information is as
aulty and as adverse to human inter.
st and human happiness as the conclu.
ions reached by the Queen or the Gov.
rnor, or even some ofour leading men.
never even think about great unes-
on but that | leave a large margin
pr future observations. The people of
be world have been imposed on by the
lea that money must have intrinsic
alue. Money is the creation of men.
conception and law, neither of
hich can have intrinsic value. The
Sercise of little mind on the money
ement is worth more than a world of
ords. Party platforms have been an
cubus upon national prosperity. The
tficulty is that the party platform al
avs quits the party a long time before
e party quits it. No party can es-
blish political creed to last for all
ne to come, The development of
ind and advanced thought reach out

When we adopt a new idea about

MEMPHIS LETTER NO. 9,
Large Capital Not Required--Our True
Policy.

One of the popular errors in the
South to-day in reference to the estab.
llshment of manufacturing enterprises
49, that it requires large amount of
capital to commence business with.
ms Idea our own observation, at
home and abroad, teaches is far from
the fact. Mr.. Jeanmaire will tell Won
that the vast matchmaking and jewelry
business of Switzerland is carried on in
various departments in the several can.
tons by small capitalists, and even by
families. The finest fannels in the
world are the Welsh, and they are not
manufactured in vast establishments
h"t in ittiO ovnoorno ga WI, small
stream throughout the principality of
Wales. l have seen the buyers going
around with their wagons purchasing
them bolt by bolt, and l have seen
them brought to the county markets
for sale.
Until a very short time ago the great
StafordShire potteries, which supplied
the world with their queensware, were
carried on by hundreds of individual
potters who manufactured certain ar.
tIcles. l could give you innumerable
Instances in this and in other States to
the same effect. Mr.. Park, of Law.
renceburg, Tenn, commenced factory
tor cotton goods on a small scale wears
ago. So did Mr.. Faulkner in your
own county. Ifyou ever travel through
the New England States you will
hnd that scores of things which are
sold daily in McMinnville were mann.
featured in shops not half the size, or
requiring more than half the capital or
using half the machinery of Mr.. Gum
HarwelPs. Some years ago Ientered a
little factory in Vermont-a cold
dreary looking country-and | found
scores of men and boys manufacturing
shoe lasts, boot.trees and tool handles
out of beech wood. And so | couId
go on ad infnit,m.
WI Warren county, and especially
McMinnville, come up to the helm Of
the Lord? For certainly God has in.
tended great things for you: your
forests, undug coal fields, un.
used water-power, hydraulic cement
rock, iron ore, limestone, lands pecu.
llarly adapted to raise fruits, small
grains and grasses, etc. All nature
hits up her voice and opens her treas.
lres inviting strong arms and willing
hands to laden themselves with her
riches.
1t is true that the tendency of the
lines Is to associate capital for the man.
fracture of almost everything needed
n ordinary life, and that by the intro.
iuctlon of expensive machinery the
mall capitalist is crowded out. But
here are hundreds of things in which
'apltal and cooperation cannot compete
With skill and energy. You ought to
manufacture all your iron and wooden
ware, all your family and farm neces.
aries, so that instead of a continual an.
'ual drainage of money you would
ring in money. Also such a spirit
'ould introduce skilled immigration
nen of brains and means, a class that
am sorry to say have not immigrated
