contingency upon which the young English
man of good connections can bank. The
tradesmen are ready to furnish what he
wants Oh due bills. Only one out of many
whom they trust may come into an estate
and pay them; but with their enormous in
terest charges they make enough out of him
to cover what they have lost on the others,
and show good profit besides. Any how,
an EngliShmen is such an ass on the sub
ject of the ariStOcracy that an English

club game, and hence easily worst less eX-

clearing house fer the payments of its men,

Every loser writes his name, the amount he

the box is opened and the amounts are

METAPHYSICS OF WEALTH.
The Political Science Club Discusses
a Profound Subject.

Profound Subject.
The Political Science club of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota had an interesting paper
and intelligent discussion at its last meeting.
The club is composed Of number of gen.
tlemen who cooperate in the study of
economic questions. There meet representa-
tives of the masses. Knights of Labor the
press, the bar and the pulpit and agitate the
most profound problem of social progress.
The feast of the occasion was paper by
Herbert Putnam of the athenRum on the
Metaphysics of Wealth. He intro
duced his subject by calling at
tention to the long-forgotten work by
Mr.. Kellogg, advocating the issuing
by the government of a practically unlimited
amount Of money on the security of the real
property of the citizens at minimum in
terest of l or per cent, and to be practi-
caliy irredeemable. This theory was re-
Vlved in 1875, and suggests the historic fact
that all political economy centerS around
three fundamental conceptions: That in
terest Is hindrance to production, that
value Is mere opinion and that the gov
ernment can create wealth out of nothing
while the individual can do so only at the
greatest eXertIon. Around this oues-
tons the bltterest disputes have been
NdSSO- dli1 LO ppilllol can De held
without the holder finding himself in good
company. Some hold transcendental
theory respecting value. and some make it
consist in a mental element. And yet they
lay Claim to greater consistency than the
German professor who held that while some
claimed the existence of God and some de-
MED it, the truth probably lay between the
two extremes. Political economy cannot
predict. Matthews claimed that popula-
ton was outstripping production, while
the bette noir of the political economy
of the day is that production is vastly in
advance OF population. If the government
would only let economic laws work out
their own salvation, we might hope for a
better state of things. And at the same
time all that political economy can teach
America o-day is. that it is not work but
wages; not toll, but fruits that advance
happiness.
The paper was warmly discussed by the
members present.
