THR OPINION oAN'r HURT TIE r1sH.

A resolution was recently introduced in
the North Carolina Legislature asking the
Attorney General TO give his opinion as TO
whether the owners of the cotton-factories
in this city have right TO dam the stream
and thus prevent the passage of fish up the
river. This question has been agitating
the up-country people for several years,
and many Of them seem TO think that the
cotton-factories and other industries on
the Danville canal, which give employment
to 500 people, should be destroyed that
the red-horse and catfish may go up the
stream and give sport to the mountaineers.
II is said that the condition of Mr.. WIN.
Shelton. who is now in Philadelphia under

In last Sundays issue of THE HERALD there
appeared a reference to Eagle Tent No. 2, which
recently held the forty second anniversary of
its organization as the "late' Eagle Tent. This
got into the paper inadvertently, and does q
manifest injustice to Eagle Tent, which is one of
the Oldest in the District and is in a fourishing
condition. The tent has adopted and transmitted
to this office set of resolutions properly char
acterizing the designation of it as the "late''
Eagle Tent, and showing that it is in very
lively condition indeed.

Senator Plumb, ON the first day of
August. 1891, IA discussing the tariff.
said: Il have letter from merchant
doing business at st. Joseph, Mo-, and
at Atchison, Kansas, stating that on an
invoice Of crockery he had paid that
day customs duty Of $16,4O. and that
under the pending bill the duty on the
same invoice would be $3I 80, and I'M
der the Mckinley bill $57.12. The
whole tendency Of civilization is toward
the reduction of prices of all products
Of human labor. The American peo-
pie are entitled to haVe cheap goods IL
competition can bring that about.

people of the United States will get
some benefit from the establishment

INTRINSIC VALUE.
Gold Possesses Less Intriusio yalua Than
Almnaf AnH Ofhar Snha4.n..

colo Possesses Less Intrinsic Value Than
Almost Any Other Substance.
The gold standard advocates base
their claim on the intrinsic value of
gold Gold is used for money because
OF its intrinsic value. But for its in
trinsic value gold would not serve the
purposes Of money. As the entire gold
scheme rests on the intrinsic value, it
is important that we get clear idea of
this word intrinsic.
Intrinsic, as applied to gold in this
connection means inherent natural,
selt-contained, non-contingent actual,
positive and ever present
There are two kinds of value, in
trinsic and commercial All values are
determined by use, utility. Water has
great intrinsic value; so has air.
Neither, as a rule. have any CONNER
cial value.
To get at tho intrinsic value of gold
let u suppose there Is q great mountain
Of gold and an equally great mountain
Of iron in the center of the United
StateA As intrinsic value is deter
mined BY utility, which Of these would
have the greatest value-would yield
eAAC AoA &OoS anu 80OUnE OF
uses TO the people?
To catalogue the utilities of iron
would tax the entire space. of the
Kansan; to list the utilities of gold
would require but q short paragraph.
VIII the reader pause. take a pencil,
aud write down the uses to which gold
Is put aside from its use as money?
Having done 50 viii he get hold of a
set of catalogues relating to the various
trades In which iron is used, and then
compare the two? This comparison
win settle the question of intrinsic
value, and VIII prove that the inherent
value OF iron TO our civilization is
multiplied ten thousand times over
gold
Tho intrinsic value theory win NOT
stand the test Of examination. An
