AGAINST stupidity even the gods fight in
vain b 1t they have to fight, though, rs In
old Greek days. 1t seems Sisyphis Labor.
Here is a Lynchburg journal winch observes
that a New York paper will take SILVER dollars
for a subscription, and Will not take any
smaller number of gold dollars, and 80 1t says,
" This settles the question ~ to the worth OF
the silver dollar" In the same vein IN honest
working man wrote the otherday in all serious
ness to inquire if his employer, who paid wages
in silver, could be compelled to pay gold IN
stead, where ne, the working man, c0uld Duy
more with two gold dollars tnan with two sill
yer dollars. Tnese people have been told
thousand times perhaps. that the silver clrcu-
lates now only as representative OF 20 Il, ana
If Is taken by the workers aud the shop
Keepers not for the silver that Is III 1t. but Tor
the gold that Is behind 1.-THE money III which
priccs are now made and accounts kept. Yet
they are con nlally pla Eued with the idea that,
if silver dollar will buy as much rs a gold
dollar "that settles it,"
But the same men understand perfectly well
why 1t was that even the ignorant Hungarlahs
at Connellsyille refused to work for store or
dcrs. the moment they found that those orders
would not buy rs much AZ real money had
bought. As long as the orders would buy as
much they passed freely as the representative
of gold or silver, just us the silver itself now
passes as the representative of gold But that
did not "settle it" that the order was as good
money as the coin.
Prices are now made in godj whether they
ought to be or not, tnlt is the fact. lt may
come to pass at any hOur that the standard sill
yer dollar will no longer be accepted by mer-
