FINANCIAL SOPHISTRY.

| From the Atchlson Champion.
The Wichita EAGLE thinks it quite
singular that it should be commended
you can't legislate money into a man s
pocket, as those who oppose an increase
! of the circulating medium assert, when
it has been demonstrated quite often
! that money can be legislated out of a
mans pocket.
! The Champion is of the same opinion.
| The fact is, that the financial question is
| chiefly one of legislation. 1t is legisla-
| ton that creates money; that fixes its
value; that increases or decreases its Cir
| culation; that determines its functions
and uses; in short, that absolutely con-
trolls the somewhat perplexing question
of finance.
In this country, the constitution in
vests congress, a legislative body, with
| the sole prerOgative of adJudicating this
question. And, hence, in the truest and
highest sense, money, the circulating
medium of the land, is the creature of
legislation. The principles of political
economy, it is true, step in 70 suggest
what legislation is wise and what is not,
still, the whole matter resolves itself into
a question of legislation pure and simple.
The same power that can and does
legislate money out of mems pockets, as
do all those enactments which tend to
decrease values; 10 change monetary
standards, 10 establish single coin
standard, TO demonetize silver, to pre-
vent an increase of legal tenders, in
brief, which operate to make the rich
richers and the poor poorer, as do all
those statutes which coufer special com
mercial and financial privileges upon
the few 10 the inevitable detriment Of
the many, all these enaCtments do
legislate money out OF mems pockets,
and with most pretentious certainty.
It is a poor rule that will not work
both ways. And, in this instance, the
rule, if not DISTRACTED by interested par
ties. could he made To work both ways
the power that legislates money out of
could be made. and without any violence
to the principles of economic justice, 10
legislare money into mems pockets IL
several WAYS.
First, this could be done by increasing
the per capita OF circulation; BY increas-
ing our legal tenders; by double coiE
standard; by wiping out all trusts; by
stopping corporate abuses, and by put
ting an end to legalized plutocracy.
II is very gauzy subterfuge TO pre-
tend that legislation can not benefit the
whole mass Of the people financially.
when il is demonstrated fact that legis-
lsnon has very seriously injured the
masses fnancially-by restricting, at the
dictation Of capital, the currency Of the
country TO a figure far below the impera-
tive demands OF business. BY providing a
small class with money making oppor-
tunities, and BY practically excluding the
majority Of these people from these oP-
porIunities.
Let Us have done with the sophistry
that legislation is the friend OF one class
ard the enemy Of another, and that Il
can help some and rot all In the mat
Ter Of finance, commerce ard economies
geneTrllv, legislation IS substantially TIE
only means Of accomplishing desired
ends.

Here is the concluding paragraph from
the Rehectors article in question:
at Is amazing how many foolish
theories people get up and advocate as
something that had never been thought
of before and something away above
the experience of the ages. But how
forgetful people are in this respect
Thousands of years agJ Joseph
cornered the corn market of Egypt
He did not put the corn in elevators,
but in the kings warehouses. He had
it under Hook and key. He absolutely
owned all the corn of that country and
he fixed the price TO suit himself. when
the farmers had paid out all their money
and all their cattle to Pharaoh in return
for the grain that was needed for their
support, they sold him their land until
King Pharaoh owned everything belong
ing to farming in Egypt and to this day
the farmers of that country are tenants
of these rulers. The efforts OF that cor
ner are still TO some extent observable in
that land. Customs have been handed
down end modern civilization has not
been able to change them. Now, the
Kansaa farmers, by the plan they pro-
pose to pursue of placing grain in eleva-
tors, will lose control of the grain. This
Joseph never did. He was smart enough
to keep the immense supplies under lock
and key. The Kansas farmers should
pursue Joseph plan, if they seek to cor
ner the wheat market with its nearly six
hundred million bushels stored all over
this great country of ours"
