THE MONEY QUESTION.

The Volume OF Money in Use Determines
Its Purchasing Power.
Besides the monopolization of land
and the control of machinery-bothb be-
ing forces of nature-there is another
subtle power that, through the peculiar
ity Of our civilization, which, If not as
tangible as the two former, is never
theless, as great a reality as either, and
which, when given over to the control
OF class, completes the economic trim
ity before whose heaven-defying shrine
the stoutest hearts have quailed, the
loftiest heads have fallen. This third
power is the medium of exchange-that
which the people of community, indi-
vidually and collectively, are, at all
times, willing to take for such products
OF their labor as they have no immedi-
ate use for, with the full confidence that
others will do the same with them when
desirous of procuring needed articles
which they do not produce; in short,
money. To perform this much needed
office, facilitation of exchange, it fol-
lows from the very nature of things
that the medium used, the money, need
not have the kind of value peculiar to
the articles which, through its use,
change owners with unquestioned trust
Its function, not its substance, consti-
tutes the character of it's value; which,
regardless of material is honored so
long as the people obligate themselves
to receive it. The money of people,
then, is their will in that relation ex-
pressed by some chosen device, on such
material as is best calculated to bear it
in point of economy and convenience.
While thus in use, the material-no
matter of what kind or quality-is
utterly worthless for any other use, and
those who argue to the contrary either
greatly mistake or they have in view
an ulterior purpose, which it is the OBJ
ject of this reasoning to expose.
When those who seek to control the
money of people, their monetary
stamp. maintain that the material thus
in use requires to have a market value
in order to make such money current
their purpose is to found an excuse for
the increase and decrease of the volume
of money in use at given period. This
fiction being once established. it follows
that in order to control this volume, it
needs but to have the power of issue
and control of the material, and it is
noticeable that the material chosen is
always of such character as to admit
of ontrol-that is, 1t is limited in guam
tity. Now. since the volume of money
in use is that which determines its pur-
chasing power, you must see at glance
that the class which has the power to
increase and decrease the purchasing
power of money by the initiation and
contraction of its volume, is in posses
Sion of the most powerful agent of
spoliation known to civilized man-and
this is the money question. ."-P Ross
Martin, in National View.

Dom Pedro in Exile.

Pathetic is that interview with the ex-
emperor Of Brazil at Cannes. Bereft at
once Of crown, wife and fortune, the
only consolation left him is literary pur-
suits. which he always loved, but had
little time for hitherto. The memoirs of
his life that the imperial exile is writing
will give the true STORY OF tho Brazilian
revolution as the fatherly old emperor
saw it, but he will not let them be pub
ished till after his death. He is positive
that the abolition of slavery caused the
revolution.
Count d'Eu, Pedro's unpopular son-in-
law, wishes even now to 60 back and
fight it out, but the exile will not hear Of
this. He said to his interviewer:
Although dethroned and cruelty exiled, I am
deeply isGerested in sAs progress and prosperity
oe the people Of Brasil God knows did all In
my power TO give them satisfactogy government,
but, u Let. vaulting ambition took flight above
reason and seemed 70 compel obedience to its be-
hesta. whether right Or wrong.
The old gentleman will not be apt to
live long. His heart is still with his be-
loved Brazil He refuses to sell his es-
tates there. The correspondent asked
him:
IF you should b elected president Of the re-
public, - some Of your friends propose to offer
your name. would you return TO Brazilf'
Dom Pedro-With all my heart No matter
whether - emperor. president or private citizen,
Iwoud gladly reearn to die among my people.
Would it not be strange if the present
generation should see Dom Pedro again
at the head Of affairs in Brazil. this time
as president?

Linny Grant aud Georgia Sanders,
OF Spangle, girls about six years old,
whose fathers are both merchants,
amused themselves last week
by eating nutmegs. Georgia ate " two
halves" and Linny ate three whole
ones. The only effect seemed to be
great drowsiness. Georgia, who ate
only one whole one, merely took an
extra nap. But Linny, who ate three
whole ones, slept sixteen hours when
her mother became alarmed and be-
gan investigation and sent for the
