Money.

The war in Congress is over the remone-
tizing of silver, not because silver is indis-
pensable as money, but because the fashion
of the world handed down froi. the dark
ages is 10 consider gold and silver a.oue as
money. The progress and intelligence Of
the age has long outgrown the necessity for
either OF these metals constituting money,
but while the money speculators have the
upperhand and insist that they mast con-
stitute the basis of all money, then let us
have both metals as the basis and thus
broaden the foundation and make il less
easy for the gamblers in finance to rob labor
by stocking the cards in the game of COM
mercial exchanges. By making gold the
standard of money in all Europe and the
United SIotes, and silver the singl standard
in Asia, England has succeeded in plnnder-
ing the faime of this country, aideu by
our home monopolies aud trusts; to the
verge OF bankruptcy.
Any one who will devote little time to
ascertain the functions Of money will soon
be satisfied that its sole use is 10 measure
ratoes, and it plays the part in trade that
the yard stick, the gallon measure and the
pound wight do in the merchants store.
Those measuring imrlem n,s are no part
Of the merchants capital, and money
is no paIt of the wealth of nation or n
people. Its sole use is to measure values
and save time and labor that would be re-
quired without the convenient medium Of
money, to shift from place to place products
in making the exchange of goods which IS
always taking place in this busy world. We
need for this purpose three thousand mil
lion dollars as a circulating medium for The
convenience of our 5000 900 of busy peo-
pie. We now have of gold in the Treasury
vaults G09 tons. and very nearly 10000
tons Of silver. When silver is remon-
etized, and tie Treasurer is required to
add 54,OC0,00G ounces of silver annually to

The New Tin Industry.

Senator Moody, of South Dakota, has de-
livered to the Senate Committee on Finance
one thousand pounds Of tin ore. and one
hundred pounds of pigtin, and other speci
mems of tin taken from the Honey Peak tin
mine in the Black Hills of South Dakota
developed-can produce sufficient tin for the
United States.
Wonder why the Senator didn't smell
that 1000 pounds of tin ore and show the
product in pigtn. If he had exhibited a
1000 pounds of piglin and a 100 pounds Of
ore as a specimen, the transaction would
have more resembled Cuisines" He
asks for a tariff on foreign tin to raise the
price high enough to permit work TO be
paid out of the tin product while the mines
are in an experimental stage of ofdevelopment.
Would il not look more like business for TIE
government to appropriate half million
dollars 10 develop the mines? 1t may turn
out that there is not much tin there, as has
so often happened with 'tn Mines In this
country. The whole nation would then
bear the expense and the private fortunes OF
individuals would not be risked in a doubt
ful venture, which if successful, would
rebound 10 the advantage of The entire
nation. There is no sense in making tn
plate cost millions of dollars more while
this experiment is being made when half a
million out of the surplus would suffice to
determine the matter quickly. ltdoes seem
strange the way Cur government has OF
how not 10 do it," After the tin has been
actually proven to be in Dakota then would
be the time TO figure on the protective tariff
But there is wheel within this wheel as
in many other transa otions that are car
red on at the Capital The cheap tin which
is being used in this country furnishes roof
ing material less expensive than iron roof
ing, taking the place of The latter, but if a
duty amounting to $50 100000, while the
Dakota mines are being developed, is laid
upon tin, it will become too dear for roof
ing purposes and sheet iron will take its
place. The iron manufacturers will tickle
Senator Moody's back and Senator Mooly
will scratch their backs with his little tin
rake, while the farmers Of Dakota and other
States are using muck rakes to fad few
more pennies to pay for their tinware. And
this IS the milk in the cocoanut.

contending that the ''precious metals'' alone
are money, when this theory is attempted to
be carried out to its logical result, become
very obvious.
As long, however, as it is insisted by the
spectators in money that gold shall con-
stitute the only basis of money, and that
every note which calls for its redemption in
coin shall be paid in gold only, in very self
defense the producing public must Insist
that silver shall be added to this basis of
redemption, and that few Jew gold
kings shall not hold the power in their
hands to control the entire business of the
world by the skillful use of a little gold
coin, making prices ofevery species Of prop
erty subseryient to their will.

almost wholly responsible for the bank
rupting prizes which prevail for farm crops.
England being the commercial nation Of
the world she has manipulated the food
market as the stock and exchange gamblers
manipulate prices. Two hundred and fifty
million bushels of wheat is now shipped
from India TO the British market, and this
vast importation from Asia has broken the
grain marke: of the European and Amer
lean world. How is this effected? By
Eng land buying our silver at 80 per cent
discount and exchanging it in India on a
par with gold. England made India free
mirtage silver money nation and the home
government gold money nation and per-
suaded the United States to become gold
money ration also. The United States pro
duces nearly half the silver of the world,
and when made a merchandise i'll place Of
one of the money metals, the price Of course
could be forced down by bullion spectators.
England therefore buys our silver at 80 per
cent discount and uses it in India to bny
wheat and cotton which she can sell on the
English market for what the silver cost at
home. If our silver had not been demon
ttzed and our mints coined, as they do
gold, all that was offered, the price would
never have fallen below gold, the English
speculators could not have used it in India
to Luy at less than gold prices and could
not have sold India wheat in Liverpool for
less than 80 per cent above the present
ruling prices. Was there no SURF lus in
this country to spare for shipment the price
would remain the same as long as England
could purchase our silver at so per cent
discount and use it in India to buy grain.
She would ship the grain 10 New York if
there was rise above the market in Eng
land. 1t would be just as easy TO take a
ship load Of grain TO New York as 10 Lon
don, from India. A great deal more could
he said in elucidation of the subject, and
any person who will take the trouble TO ex-
anime the question properly will be con
vinced that it is not over production that
has ruined we'll nigh our farm crop prices.

The Battle Rag So.

We seem to be only at the com
mencemcnt Of the financial and tax
laws question. A Californian defends
Senator Stanford and his scheme OF
government loaning money to the
people direct at low interest. From
an article published in the National
Vieao, at Washington, D. c., we
make the following extract:
'lt is not the characteristic of that
noble ana benevolent man to give
birth to sense!ess schemes, and if he
comes out with the. doctrine that
government has the power, the abil-
Ity, the state prerogative to loan out
money to toiling and distressed and

iow rate of interest, we should give
it candid thought and investigation
and not get mad and call him an old.

anything about money or the uses or
purposes Of it, and attribute to him
a sly and selfish motive in wishing
to establish a state prerogative in
government, of loaning out her vas;

a mortgage at half of the value of
the farm, at 2 or 3 per cent, to run
forever, we will say, or so long as
interest should be paid, :he interest
money going to the government,
which would be no more than the
present taxes, and when government
debts and outstanding bonds would
all be paid, then the interest money

cancellation OF all of our taxes-in
other words, no taxes to be paid at
all by anybody, state or county
"Anything senseless or imbecl,e in
that, Mr.. Editor of the Chronicle? 1t
is quite strange and singular to me
that anybody with spark of human

Over Production.

The Cecil Farmers Club held an interest
ing meeting at Mr.. Enoch McCuIlough's
farm last week. In lieu of the customary
essay by the hest Mr.. Mccullough submit
ted an article written by c. Wood Davis,
OF Kansas, and published in the Country
Gentleman, which attempts to demonstrate
that the over production Of bread stufs in
the United States is the cause of the depress-
ed condition of farm produce. Mr.. Davis
shows by statistics that there is large
quantity of food products raised in this
country, but his demonstration sto!s right
here. He does not show that the products
of each year are all consumed or virtually
all. And he does not state that thousands
and tens of thousands are half starved in
this country and Europe. Had Mr.. Davis
followed up the statistics to their logical
end, and not ignored these two important
facts he would easily have proven, that in
place of over production, the supply oil
food falls far short of the needs of the
world; and instead of orer production it is
lack of distribution. From the comments Of
the members which followed il was evident
none Of them had given the subject the in
yestigation ana thought it demands. The

The Tariff Bill Passed.

The tariff bill passed the House on
Wednesday under the previous ques-
ton. The scene is described by re-
porter.
Wild confusion reigned during the
hour before the previous question was
ordered by the House on the Mckinley
bill to- day. Brief speeches were made,
everyone talking at once and eager to
say the last word, until the House re-
sembled the grand stand at base ball
game when the umpire's decision is
against the home nine. The galleries
were we'll filled and the occupants
watched the turbulent scene below,
which was bordering on the ridiculous.
with feelings of mingled amazement
and amusement.
Above the voices of all could be heard
McMillin's statement that two hundred
amendments had been offered and the
Republicans had refused to allow them
to be voted on. Butterworth also made
himself heard. He claimed that the
opportunity to amend had been cut off
| by the committee and that there had
been no effort to get the consensus of
opinion of the party, out that the
committee had forced their bill through
and tried to bind the political con
sciences of members.
| BUTrERWORTH PROTESTS AGAIN.
He said he did not believe that there
had been any divine decree nor yet any
command of the Republican party by
which the ark of the political covenant
was committed to a few gentlemen.
He, for his own part, wanted to do one
of Two things-either vote according to
his own convictions, or so as to agree
with what should be the consensus of
opinion on the Republican side of the
house. There had been no chance to
determine what the consensus of
opinion was. He said that if this were
the end many votes might be recorded
differently from what they would be
to-day.
THE PREVIOUS QUESTION MOVED.
The Speaker punctuated Chairman
McKinleys speech with approving
raps of the gavel. The chaotic noises,
which had oppressed the chamber,
ceased. The groups of members stand
ing about dissolved like kaleido.copic
views and rearranged themselves in
their respective seats and in the lobbies
back OF the seats. Mr.. Mckinley went
on to move the previous question, the
tn rd reading and engrossment of the
bill and its final passage. The vote re
suited: Yeas, 16l; nays 143. Coleman
of Louisiana, and Featherstone. of
Arkansas, voted with the Democrats
against the adoption of the motion.
After number of amendments more
had been acted on the final vote was
called for the passage of the bill when
it was passed by vote of 1852 yeas to
l42 nays, two republicans voting
against the bill. The bill now goes TO
the Senate where it is likely to be
changed very considerably.

ready) tenant vassals of a greedy
shylock, money loaning aristocracy
in the end-an unmiliqsted and un
mixed calamity to all equally, a
thing so APPALLING and disgusting that
a pure minded and benevolent states
man like Senator Stanford can't view
it but with the gravest apprehensions
and even horror.
"He begins to know, and others
too, that unless that specific remedy,
government banking, for that ten
daucy is applied and extortionate
rates of interest killed, and the per
sistent effort to lessen the circulating
medium by your banking class is

now and forever, we must, with all
of our boasted superiority, freedom

primitive tenantry and vassalage.

point as touching our United States

New Financial Schemes Presented

New Financial Schemes Presented
in the Senate.
On Tuesday Mr.. ingalls, introduc.
ed a bill to abolish metal money,
and said that he did so at the request
of the Wage. Workers Political Al
lance of Washington, D. C. That
alliance, he SAID, desired to have it
publicly announced that it was re-
sponsibie for the provisions of the
bill, desire in which he cordially
concurred.
The bill is prefaced by preamble
reciting that Congress, through
British cunning and American ig.
no'ance, has monetzed gold; that
the monetization of any material is
class legislation; that the money of
each nation is based on force; that
the money of any nation which will
not pay debts within the limits of its
maker is worthless; that "moneyi is a
thought of legal tender power stamp
ed upon some material by some ma
tion;" thatthe Supreme Court in 1884
decided that Congress can at any time
place the money of the United States
upon paper exclusively, and that it
is within the power of Congress to
expand or contract the volume OF
money at its pleasure; and that "the
volume of the declaratory full legal
ilk.tLraaded greenback paper money
of the United States should be ex-
panded until interest falls into silent
disuse." The bill makes it unlawful
for any officer of the government to
coin any more metal money, under
Imprisonment for life. Coin at pres
ent in use ard certificates issued on
deposid thereof may be exchanged
for the greenback money of the
United States.
Mr.. Stanford introduced bill for
loans on lands, and said that lie
would hereafter address the Senate
on the subject.
The bill establishes land loan
bureau in the Treasury Department.
The chief and deputy chief shall be
appointed by the President, with
salaries of $4,000 and S., coo respect

ury IS authorized to prepare ready

the amount of 500, 900, 900. and ad-
ditional amounts as they become
necessary, to be placed to the credit

notes shall be full legal tender for

demption of the national currency.
