There Is just one thing that attracts
the attention and commands the respect
of the plutocrats and the free-and- 60
easy middle classes more than all Others
combined. One thing the plutocratic
press can't lie about. 1t is votes. The
people may resOlute and hold enthusias-
tic meetings from now till dooms-day,
but Ii they do not back it up with votes
their efforts are all in vain. The only
proof of sincerity a man can give of his
Intentions, is to- vote as he talks. Reso-
lutions and enthusiastic gatherings are
good In their place, but what we need,
gentlemen, is votes. Votes alone can
settle the problem with which we are
grappling. Get ready to vote or quit

MONEY.
MOney-What Is Tt2-TtS Uses and Abuses.
CHAPTER J.

CHAPTER ].
10 the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE:
These questions and questions Of
kindred nature constitute the burden o
thought and inquiry among those VIII,
are in the habit Of thinking to purpose
intact, these questions are now forcing
themselves upon the mind of the com
munity as o whole, and in sll Its parts
almost without an exception. This ID
because in our present civilization
money has become common necessity
Without 1t, the exchange OF commodities
cannot well be effected throughout this
vast continent Of ours, embracing, as il
does, mixed population Of some sixty.
Ave millions of people, engaged in almost
countless CalllngS and avocatlOns, pro.
6uctlve and otherwise, upon which they
all depend for a sustenance. The ex-
change Of the products of these various
callingS, conducted as they are In the
various parts Of this vast continent, rem
der the use of money an absolute neces
sity, and give to 1t a controlling influence,
such as no other agent in this wide world
oSourS possesses power at once beneacent
and ruinOus.
In examining these questions, 1t ls es-
Bentlal that we observe the natural order
OF things; that is, the order In which
they present themselves to our atten-
ton.
There Is the question, What Is money?
We may flrst negatively say, 1t is not an
element In nature; 1T 10 no part OF earth,
Dir or water; the animal kingdom don't
possess It; the vegetable kingdom can't
produce it, and the mineral kingdom is
unable to furnish 1t. 1t is not in any
known substance. Labor can't produce
IL; ingenuity and skill are alike import
ant to It's production, and science has no
power to call it into existence. 1t Is not
anything that exists, neither Is it any
combination OF things; nor yetis it form,
size or impress, device or worth--the
fact that an article Is valuable does not
give it any Of the qualities Of money.
Then what IL itH
Having found out in general sense
what It lS not, it is next in order to be q
little more specific and examine the COM
modltles In common use, Of which It is
sAld, money Is made, and find, If we can,
wherein consists the money quality.
Here then we have (the products of labor
Squantlty Of gold, quantity of silver
and quantity of peculiarly manufac-
tured paper. The paper Is not money,
though the product Of valuable labor, yet
It 70 comparatively vslueless for any other
purpose. The same Is equally true Of
silver and gold though the expense OF
production differs widely. Who will
cay that either Of the commodities is
money, or possesses any Of the elements
OF money! But, you say, they lack
something; the paper must have the
proper words, figures and names printed
upon It. Having that done, Is it now
money! No, 1t is not perfect; the ink Is
not right, and the impression is not good.
Well, let US borrow the government
press, use the regulation ink, and, last of
al, let US place upon its face the perfect
fao simile OF the proper signature; Is the
paper then treated as money in any sense

Charters
The Sarcastic Remarks of
Councilmen Are Resented
BY the Boys
Various Companies Hold Meet
ings Tonight Tempest in
Teapot

The ruction in the fire department
reached crisis at the meeting held a
headquarters last evening when the de
partment, by vote of twenty-eight t.
nine, decided TO disband This action
was precipitated by the remarks con.
cerning the department made at the
last meeting of the council, published
in the HERALD Thursday morning
The remarks naturally excited much
bitter feeling in the department. As.
sistant Chief Gibbons called the de-
Partment together to discuss the situa-
ton. The following paragraphs from
the HERALD's report of the council
meeting formed the text of the
meeting:
Councilman Griffin-I think the fire
department ought to be cut down
we've got good pressure and do not
see why our department costs us five
or SIX times as much as Whatcom's.
hinghorn-BefOre we brag about our
pressure we should see what we have
got.
Griffin-We can put the gauge in
any time, and if the water company is
not giving us the pressure we can bring
them to time.
Aubrey-Our department cost US over
81 600 last year.
Griffin-We could run a nice paid
department for this. Every time a
shack is set fire we have to pay bills
for gang of men who are hired to
watch the fire until morning. This de-
partment is run by men who do not
care very much about it.
ktnghorn--ft is true that some of the
men do not amount to much.
Aubrey-Some of them ought to be
playing checkers with their noses.
Mr.. Gibbons presided and for an
hour aud a half there was spirited and
animated discussion of city counciimen
and firemen. Kinghorn was present
and in his element, in the turbulence
of " hich he had brought about.
An effort was made TO secure the |
adoption of a resolution for the appoint
ment of five firemen to confer with q !
committee of five citizens, headed by |
the mayor, for the adjustment of the |
differences between the council and
department.. This was promptly voted
iown and the resolution to disband
adopted. The various companies will
meet tonight TO take action upon the
question of disbanding and surrender
ng their charters.
