benefit of the parties who have gold
or silver ore, and always at the ex-
pense of wealth-producers or the
classes who exchange valuable ar
ticles of commerce. In summoning
up the whole subject we find that
money does not need to be intrin-
sically valuable, because value is
not requisite of it's Office, and that
dear money means cheaper labor;
or the cost of dear money is taken
from labor. If a yard-stick made
of wood, worth a few cents, can be
used to measure cloth, surely no
one will insist that yard-stick
should be made of gold? But when
it comes to money matters, great
many honest people believe that the
case is so different that money
should possess value of its own.
Yet little thought ought to con-
vince the most rabid hard money
man that money just as much
measures quality as the yard-stick
measures quantity; and it would be
Just as absurd to claim intrinsic
value for yard-sticks as to claim in
trinsic value for money, were it not
that the men who own gold have
educated us to think that gold alone
is the stand ard of values.

Ground AcOrns.

There are lots of farmers, and
other people, who do not know that
the Mckinley bill places ground
acorns on the free list. We are ig.
norant of the use Of ground
acorns," but we conjecture that the
eastern hog has lost his teeth, and
since the tariff is wholly in the in
terests of eastern capitalists, it may
be assumed that placing "ground
acorns" on the free list is for the
purpose of obtaining cheap hog
feed for the toothless eastesn hog.
If our conjecture be right, the
owners of timber land on the Pota-
watomie should at once establish
an acorn mill and petition Mr.. Fun
ston to have ground acorns' pro-
tected. As it now stands, pauper
labor of Europe has gigantic
monopoly of the manufacture and
trade in ground acorns."

The Old Parties.

1t would be amusing were there
not so much tragedy in the digerent
positions of the old parties on pub
lie questions. The state of Iowa
is fair illustration of the work OF
the Republican and Democratic
parties. Years ago the Democratic
party in Iowa fought railroad ag-
gression. Later the Republican
party engaged in the conflict, and
meaning business, secured the pass
age of a maximum freight rate law.
When the Republican party opened
battle, the Democratic party became
the ally of the railroads. and, accOr-
ding to the New York Herald, it
was the influence of the railroads
that gave Iowa to the Democratic
party. The two old parties are al
WAYS feminist" each other until a
third party arises, and then they
a~e both "ferninsl" the third party.

Intrinsic Value Of Coin.

1t is assumed by the friends of
gold money that the ore in dollar
Of gold has a real value of one dol
lar, This is not true. The real
value, or intrinsic value, in gold
coin is just what the ore would
be worth for commercial purposes.
Now, according to the "Financier,"
The commercial value of the ore in a
gold coin is about One-half. In ether
words. the ore in a dollar of gold
is only worth about fifty cents for
commercial purposes; the other
fifty cents is added because of coin
age If bushel of wheat sells for
one dollar, it is intrinsically worth
one dollar. The same maybe said
of any other article necessary to
the well-being and comfort of the
human family. Wheat, to be wheat,
must be intrinsically valuable, or
any other article of food, and the
intrinsic value is always the same.
Or in other words, bushel OF
wheat always contains a certain
amount of food, and it is sought for
because of that value. Now when
a farmer sells a bushel Of wheat,
and receives in exchange a gold
dollar. it is not the coin that is
sought for, but the privilege OF
selecting and procuring an intrin-
sically valuable article, equal in
value to the bushel of wheat. The
coin serves but one purpose, and
that is that it has enabled the
farmer to exchange the bushel OF
wheat needed for some article that
is needed. Now we have seen that
even onc-half of gold coin is ficti-
tious, or added because of coinage.
Does it not follow that all the coin
may be fictitious, and still perform
the same Office: that of effecting
AN exchange of intrinsically valua-
BILE articles? Again, what makes a
gold coin, containing only fifty cents
worth IF intrinsically valuable ore,
worth one dollar? Is it not fiat, OF
law? 1t is law that creates money
Of any kind. Gold ore or silver
ore is not money, and when either
is coined, a value is added because
of coinage, that is not real, and this
added vaire always inures to the

of the large gang of men at work there.
the bank is being slowly worn away.

DEs MONIES, To-, May 2O.-The rivers
here reached the highest point at noon.
Since that time they have remained sta
/. tionary. The rise last night was lit
tie over foot. The result was that a
large portion of the eastern part of the
city is under water. The flood now runs
through Second street, cutting off ac-
cess to the east side over Locust street
bridge. The track OF the Chicago u
Northwestern has washed out for sew
eral blocks. There are no freight trains
running into the city. and passenger
trains are few and irregular.
:, The lowlandS in Northeast and South
Dts Moines are all under water. The
enumber OF house that have been aban--
I doned is probably 1,000, there being 400

committees are at work, and the suffer-

/ by a fall of rain and snow. 1t is cold,
and this adds to the seriousness of the
situation.

Moines is on the fall, being nearly
three inches lower today. The property
loss was from $4,000 to $4,000. The
weather has changed greatly, having
turned cold enough for snow, and this
morning the sidewalks and housetops
were white.

Des Moines river is receding slowly,
aud all fears of further danger is passed.

are still tied up, all but the Burlington
aud Rock Island having abandoned the

recede: The roads are receiving freight,
however, and it is thought that the sit

Whitney, of the boom company, said
late yesterday afternoon that the COM
pany entertained no fear whatever that
any Of its boomS would give way. Every
possible precaution has been taken to
secure them. ard not log would be

posite Gluek's brewery, on the east side
of the river, boom holding a million
feet of logs is piled I'D in exquisite con-
fusion. There was great danger yes
terday that. this boom would go out, but
big force of men was put to work
driving piles and it is now believed that
the boom is secure from a. rise of any,
thing less than two feet. The lumber
is owned by E. W. Backus & Co., Clongh
Brothers and Nelson, Tenny & Co. The
lumber yard of Hall & DueeY. on the
flats near Plymouth avenue, IS fully
three feetin the water, and consider
able lumber will be warped and ruined.
The river is higher here at this hour
than it has been for ten years. ID. F.
De Laittre stated that the water had
passed the stage of four years ago. and
that twenty-five inches were needed to
equal the flood level of ten years since.
If the. two additional feet of water
should come the North side pumping
station would have to shut down. This
would necessitate the using of the sup
ply in the East side station. which

means be out of g ood drinking water.
