INTRINSIC VALUE.


kind enough to inform as upon what prop
erty the intrinsic value Of gold and silver
depends2 Please be specific and clear
in the explanation. This is q question
we desire TO see ventilated. Who will give
us the answer?-The Advocate, Topeka,
Kan.
This is fair question and it should
have fair answer. Intrinsic value, as
we understand 1t, Is the labor cost Of any
substance created, produced, mined or
worked upon. By the laws of supply
and demand another value attaches to a
substance or varies it,but the intrinsic val
ue, we believe, Is that which il repre-
sented in the labor cost Of It's sproduction.
Value presents itself as tangible thing
to the human mind, and it Is human Ia
Dor whose expenditure is represented by
the dollars-and-cents cost of the things
produced in the first instance. Once Gre
ated the thing itself becomes the basis Of
other or credit Values value parted
with by one and possessed by another.
When from any cause the value of the
article pledged or pawned diminishes, its
credit power vanishes In proportion. The
thing pledged is the thing existent the
tangible value; the credit is non-existent
in itself-is intangible. 1t depends upon
something outside Of itself.
The cost of production of gold and
silver in labQr-or the representative Of
labor, capital expended in It's production
lis, therefore, the property which ad-
heres to 1t as it's intrinsic value. The
nugget possesses 1t to within the small
est fraction Of the coined dollar--the
cost Of coming being but the fractional
part of cent. The farmers what has
the same original intrinsic value, after
ward varied by the condition of plenty
or scarcity, the laws of supply and de-
msnd; the mechanics handiwOrk Is
even more directly represented by the
intrinsic value Of the substance which he
mOlds.
In fact every commodity In which hu-
man labor assists nature In producing
or perfecting has represented In IL as its
intrinsic value its cost in human labor,
with reasonable compensation or interest
added for the cspltsl--itself the result of
human labor-rsquired In It's production.
The assistance of nature is not an ele-
ment in this value; nature does her work
free.
Our farmer contemporary could, per
haps, be better answered, but we trust
that this answer Is plain and satisfactory.
But we desire to add word to try to In
dicate why gold and silver form the most
desirable currency.
The permanence of their value, their
lndestructibility, the ease with which
they may be nodded, their size, may all
be passed by, though these qualities led
to their adoption as the medium Of ex-
change. So long as they were used
alone every trade represented an intrinsic
value exchanged against an intrinsic
value.
Since credit has become so widely de-
veloped the mass Of exchanges are not
made of value against value, but of the
representatives of value against the thing
of value, and when the evidences or rep
resentatives of money used in exchanges
exceeds the amount OF the thing, the
,n.,l ruannnu hnuinn. lnAnlnnin rznln,n Ao. ~.
The advocate., 1891-11-11

1t is the exchange OfVslue against value.
Their value does not depend upon any
thing outside Of themselves. The man
who receives q gold dollar knows ne has
that whose value shows no material varl-
alton from one century 70 another. It dis
tributes itself. 1t finds its way into the
hooks and corners Of the land. It is
boarded, If you please, but this boarding
ls but an operation which makes every
man, however obscure, his own banker,
who hides his gold when his necessities
do not demand its use, and who brings It
forth In times when it Ia needed most. It
facilitates exchanges; the question
whether 1t shall be accepted at its repre-
Sented worth or face value never presents
itself. 1t goes from one end Of the world
to the other readily, speeding on voy-
age Of JOY, giving relief where relief 10
most needed, encouraging labor, always
olling the wheels Of industry.
It's most valuable function, however,
Is in another direction, In supporting
credit. With our monetary laws adapted
to secure an abundance Of gold and sill
YER In the channels Of commerce and cir
culation the operations Of business go on
unlmpeded In the development of the
highest prosperity, The moment the
coin Is withdrawn, that moment credit
falls, business Is clogged, dlStrust is be-
gotten, panic and ruin follow. In the
experience of this country there Is not
q year that passes In which some Of the
symptoms of danger are not manifested,
and the aggregate Of business cuEtailed,
if 1t were possible to be represented in
figures, is probably one-third less than
we would be capable Of doing If our cur
rency were entirely sound. Not a year
passes but that this sensation Of heavl-
ness Is felt, and at frequent intervals the
signal Of distress Is up and the banks aud
the government are called to the rescue.
And it iS because the values which are
the mediums Of exchange are not intrin-
sic, but the mere shadows or pictures Of
value given to them by something out
side, which may or may not come forth
at the call. d. @. MCMILLAN.

Indigestion

is not only a distressing complaint. Of
l itself, bat, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent Of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers SarsaparilIa
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich
"Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief Nothing that / took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing TO take the SaIsapa-
rilla l could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength inn
proved each day, and after few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, | found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life"

BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Terrific Explosion of a Car Load Of
Dynamite.
It Takes Place Near Tarrytown. N.
r., and Thirty Men Are Said
to Have Been Killed.
ornERs RApLY NUN.

New YORK, May 20.-A car laden
with dynamite to be used in blasting
on the Hud son River railroad suddenly
exploded few miles below Tarrytown
at 1l:25 a. m. wrecking everything in
the vicinity, tearing up all the
tracks of the road and blowing
TO atoms. il is reported, thirty
men, Some were hurled dead to a
great distance into the river. The fire.
man of the locomotive of the train was
blown, with the tender of the loco
motive, into the river. All traffic
on the Hudson River railroad
was stopped The shock of the
explosion was felt for miles in all direc-
tons and It is impossible to estimate
the extent of the damage The load
of dynamite was on a Hat car
in a construction train and was
to be used in building third
track. This was the cause of the
disaster. The bodies of eight Italians
and two Americans were picked up
and carried to the station here
AT o'clock p. m. the remains of nine
Italians and two Americans who were
hiilth OMAAl&nh WGiG ~ ing at LAiG Ath-
ton, where they had been carried by
the crowd engaged in moving the
wounded and dead. Four other
Italians died after being taken
TO the station and twenty-three
badly injured worlxmen were also
removed to the station. More than
twenty are still missing Those killed
outright were literally blown to
pieces and were horribly mutilated.
Some of the wounded men had their
arms blown away, others are minus
their legs, while others were dismem-
bered in equally horrible manner.
The explosion occurred midway be.
tween Irvington and Tarytown. The
Italians who were employed in extend.
ing the roadbed had removed
the dynamite from the car
and placed it alongside of the
tracks They set blast and
the conclusion of the blast exploded
the dynamite. Travel is entirely sus.
pended between Irvington and larry.
town. All trains have been forced %
come to standstill each side of the
spot as the track and part of the road
bed are an entire wreck
The explosion came without warning.
1t shook the ground like an earthquake
and tore up everything around about.
The earth trembled and the air was
filled with flying debris and fragments
OF human bodies People a block
off were thrown to the ground by the
conclusion. Glass was broken in the
windows in houses two and three hun
dred yards away. When the smoke
cleared away there was a siclIening
spectacle Thirty-ore men, principally
Italians, lay on the ground The ear was
nowhere TO be seen; portions of the
trucks were thrown 100 feet away.
Not even the heavy iron wheels re-
manned on the track and the roadbetls
were blown away and great hole was
dug in the ground
The telegraph poles and wires were
wrecked along the track and communi.
cation by wire was entirely shut off.
Men were found dead 100 yards away
from the track. Others We're found
in the excavations made by the deadly
explosive.
