THE FUNCTIONS OF MONEY.
Another Old Party journal Getting
It's Eyes Open.

No GIco SDGn'
Says the lIavre de Grace, Maryland.
Republican, Il Republican paper, in Il
recent number:
The trouble with all coin money is,
that it has double value-one is its
face value and another its commercial
or market value. The true function
Of money is TO circulate, and it should
only be representative of values, and
never, independent of its legal repre-.
sentative value, possess any marketa.
bic worth. This principle is sound
and cannot be disputed. As proof
that it is sound, it is adopted in the
coinage Of all the metal money that
was ever made. No coin money can
be found that possesses n commercial
or bullion value equal to its legal or
face value; hence, the fiat idea is
acknowledged in the difference be-
tween its market b.. stamped value.
Gold is not money; paper is not mon
ey. We can exchange one article for
another but money is made by law
and by law only, and that is the best
money for commercial purposes which
is convenient to carry, handle and
count, and of least cost, and not based
on gold and silver alone, but, like our
government greGnbacks, on the entire
wealth Of the nation.
There has been much talk about the
irredeemabe character of the green
backs. Why, what is money made
for? For circulation and not redemp.
tion-exccpt the redemption that is
made each and every time its purchas-
ing power is made use Of in the ex.
change Of mercantile commodities.
Any other redemption rctires from
circulation, and destroys it as Il circu-
lating medium for the exchange of
value The sole function of money
whether gold silver, or paper-and the
only purpose of its creation is circula-
tiOn and not redemption, and the freer
it circulates and the oftener it passes
from hand to hand, the more fully it
performs its true functions, for which
alone it was created.
Let the bonds of the nation be re-
deemed; the bonds, which, being cx.
empt from taxation, contribute nothing
toward the support or expense Of the
government, but which rests as u bur
densOme tax upon the industrial inter
ests, and which draw continually from
the substance Of the people in the
shape of interest. Let the bonds be
redeemed and the legal-tender green.

The Revolutionary Idea Concerning
Money.

Ibe Cncngo Sentinel.
A revolution in parties and nations
is one thing, and a revolution in ideas
is another. A combination of men
may rebel against an existing govern
ment or party and revOlutlOnize the
old order of things. But this is differ
ent from a revolution of ideas whereby
the human mind is educated to look
upon an old and time-honOred subject
or custom in an entirely new light.
The real pith of the money question
is embodied in the idea of fiat money.
The real contest lies between coin
money and purely fiat paper money.
This is the great irrepressible con-
flict involved in the finance question.
The two ideas are antagCnistic.
They cannot be reconciled. They can
not harmonize. They cannot dwell to.
gether. The one or the other must go
to the wall. There is no halfway
ground. Either the one or the other
is an error. They cannot both he
right. There is 10 need of the exist.
ence of both.
The question as to which shall "go'
and which shall "stay," should be
made an issue and discussed fearlpssly,
candidly and fairly. After having
been thoroughly discussed and fairly
experimental upon, we have faith
enough in the good hard sense of the
American people to feel confident that
they will decide wisely in the matter.
The contest will be long one, a
hard.one, and bitter one. 1t is a dif-
licut thing to uproot preiudic,s s, to
oyerturn long established usages, to
open up new paths-especially in the
face of A determined and selfish oppo.
sition. 1t is hard to get routine

How Mrs. Perry Rode Through
MarbIehead.

One thousand able-bodied men OF
quaint old Marblehead, Mass, turned
out on the night of the 18th inst. to
witness the payment of an election
wager. Marblehead gave the biggest
plurality for Butler of any town in the
State-5s5 out of total population OF
1,5OO-yet Mrs. Martha Chapman had
the temerity to make a wager against
Buffers election with Mrs. Hannah
Perry. On the night above mentioned
the wager was paid. Mrs. Perry sat as
gracefully as circumstances would al

with bunting aud Chinese lanterns,
and, preceded by another lady who
bore a banner on which beneath q life

RObbtmg in Maine.

John @. Mason, drover Of Albany,
was waylaid one evening recently near
Lynchville, Maine, by robber, who
said Familiarity: "Give me ride, john"
He then threw pepper in Mason's eyes
and an accomplice bound his arms and
relieved him of $l06 and watch.
Freeman Evans, of Cape Elizabeth,
Maine, the other night had fifty dollars
in his possession, which as he entered
his kitchen he laid on the table. A
few minutes atterward he stepped out
of doors. leaving his wife sitting by the
table. Scarcely had he left when a
man entered the room and pressing his
hand violently upon the woman's
mouth to prevent her from giving the
alarm, remarked: want this, !" and
reaching across the table seized the
money. despite her desperate strug-
giles. The robber then made good his
escape.
AT noon the other day an old lady
sat half asleep in the ladies room of the
Grand Trunk passenger station in Lew
iston, Maine. A strange man came in.
He thrust his hands in his pants pock-
cts, probed his vest pockets and ex-
plored his coat-tail pockets. He slap
ped his hand on his leg, assumed a
look of despair and exclaimed: "I've
left my key at home, but must get in

A BAD PLACE FOR BEARS.

The Wood River Times says that, dur
ing the absence Of her hus band the 9TH
er day, Mrs. Marston was doing the
family washing, when she heard a great
noise among the pigs in the yard. Op-
ening the door, she saw large black
bear trying to walk off with one of the
pigs. The other pigs were out of the
pen and scattered in every direction,
and two large dogs that had been out on
several bear hunts stood at safe dis
tance, perfectly cowed. Mrs. Marston
rushed for the boiler of scalding water,
which she emptied upon the head OF
the bear while it was trying to retain
its hold on the pig. Her daughter at
attacked the bear with an ak, and the
dogs came to their support. and in five
minutes the bear was dead, with doz-
en- deep gashes in its head, its hide
nearly pealed off, both of it's eyes
scalded and closed and the dogs hold
ing to it.

A TOUGH BEAR STORY.

The Chatham World says that Geo.
Travers, while going through the woods
to his home ia Douglasfield, N. B., the
other evening, was attacked by very
large bear; and having no other weap-
on than bottle of paraffine oil, he
struck the bear and broke the bottle OF
oil over him. The bear then sprang
on him and commenced hugging him,
when George had the presence of mind
to light match and set fire to him.
In an instant old Bruin was all in q
blaze and let go of him, and in less than
five minutes was all consumed but the
head and shoulders. George then COM
menced to carry water in his bat to
quench the fire to save the snout, 80 as
to get the bounty. If Mr.. Travers had

then coolly walked out. The baggage

time of the robbery. This was one OF

Short Stories About Bears.
CATCHING A BEAR WITH SALT.

CATCHING A BEAR WITH SALT.
One night recently two teamsters
camped near the timber above Boul-
der, Col, and one went out to hunt for
game while the other remained at the
camp to make bread. AS the latter
was getting out the sack of salt a cin-
namon bear approached, and he held
a handful out which the bear immedi-
ately licked clean-then asked for more.
The third handful was being appreci-
ated when the other man returned, who
took the trace chains and some ropes
and bound the bear tightly. His bear
ship stood the tying with good humor,
and was placed in the wagon and tax
en- to Hailey the next day.
THE COLLEGE BOYS AND THE BEAR.
Seven university graduates at Chey-
enne went out hunting the other day,
and fell in with bigger game than they
were looking for. After they had been
hunting some time they succeeded in
bringing down fine elk, and while
engaged in dressing it they were star
tied by noise in their rear, and on
looking around beheld a huge bear close
upon them. Their rifles being sew
eral yards away, they were unable
to shoot him before he attacked
them. A lively struggle ensued, in
which the boys were cuffed around
promiscuously. They finally succeed
ed in reaching their guns, and lodged
several bullets in the bear, and then,
by the help of knives and clubs, made
an end of him.
