In these days Of so much talk of Tam
many Hall one often hears of the '"Tam-
many Ring" The Tammany Ring was a
conspiracy of the leaders of Tammany Hall,
then one of the Democratic organizations Of
New York City, to plunder the city by
means of overcharges on account OF the new
county Court House. The Tammany So
ciety is an old political organization in
New York. William Marcy Tweed was the
leader of the society, and bv careful manip-
ulaticn he had obtained from the Legisla-
ture charter for the city, comforting great
power upon the city officials The chief
officers Of the city government were his as
sociates; he himself was Commissioner of
Public Works, and his intimate associates
filled other high municipal offices and occu-
pied seats on the bench of the Supreme
Court.
The robbery was done by means of over
which overcharges were divided among the
members of the ring. The Court House,
which could have been built for S., 000, GOO,
cost the city s12, 900, 900, and much other
work was done in the same way, so that the
city debt was increased from about S73, OO0,-

share of the plunder, disclosed the con-

What Is money?

Wnat Is money! PATERSON.
John Stuart Mill defines it as ga mere
contrivance for facilitating exchanges" a
definition followed by another British
writer, Jevons, in his book, "Money and
the Mechanism of Exchange" Money is
defined usually as a measure of value" it
is something by the possession or surrender
of which We measure the value to US of
other articles 1t need not be gold or sill
yer. In Homer's times, oxen were money;
the Abvssinians used salt; the natives of
the West Coast of Africa used sea shells;
the North American Indians used shells;
the early settles in Virginia used tobacco;
Marco Polo says that the Chinese used
paper-not paper redeemable in coin, but
paper, made valuable by the Great Khan's
orders So, really, money is anything that
is generally accepted as of value, which
serves to do away with trading Sin kind"
or barter; it makes no difference what its
nature is, so long as it is something which
is of value to the people at large.
