It gold were demonetized-were not
coined or used as ms<ney-its price per
ounce would probably be less than half
its price at present We have no
means of determining this accurately,
nor IS it necessary. All that is neces-
sary TO clear understanding of the fun
damental question of coinage is a
clear apprehension Of this differ
ence between the intrinsic value
OF the coinage metal and its exchange
value when coined as money. Where
gold has been even partly demonetized
this difference has become manifest at
once. Its price as bullion has fallen
toward the level of its natural or in
trinsic value-the value it has for use
in the arts apart from use as a medium
OF exchange. Demonetize the ounce of
gold and its price falls five, ten. fifteen,
twenty-five per cent. no matter what.
The important matter to be remem-
bered is, that it will fall in direct
ratio to the extent of the demonetiza-
ton, and if the demonetization is com.
plete, the fall will only be checked
when the level of natural or intrinsic
value is reached

The alliance, as an organization,

AN HONEST DOLLAR.

A Leading Financial Paper Discards the
''Intrinsic Value" theory.
The Financier, of New York, one of
the leading financial papers of the coun-
try. in an article showing the difference
between the intrinsic and the money
or ''iat' value of gold and silver coins,
says:
''The two precious metals have an
intrinsic value and coin value, which
are by no means necessarily identical
which in fact never are identical.
''The intrinsic value of an ounce of
gold is its value as a commodity for use
in the arts-for making jewelry, for
gliding, and to all the other uses to
which gold is put exclusive of coinage.
It has this value whether it is coined or
not, and the value is not affected by
coinage, though the price is.
''The coinage value of gold is the
difference between its intrinsic value
for use in the arts and its exchange
value as money.
This difference is so material, that

president and vice-president of the
United States This joint committee
met and decided on July as the date,
and the city of Omaha as the place for
the convention, and issued an address
calling upon the people to hold meet
ings on the last Saturday in the present
month and ratify the platform adopted
by the conference and arrange and
organize for representation in the
national convention-four for each
congressional district in the United
States and eight for each state at
large.
This statement of facts is made to
show that so far as the action of the
conference went it did not change the
relation of the alliance or any other
organization, as such, to the political
parties. It did not nor could not bind
the alliance, as an organization, to the
democratic, the republican or the peo-
pies party. No one man, no one thou
sand men, could do this No power
could force its members to remain in
the democratic or republican parties;
no power could prevent them from

duty of taking such political action as

and secure the enforcement of his

Then what is our duty as alliance

During the discussion OF the United
States Banking bill in congress some
time in 1885 or 1886 John Ran

posed to the passage of the bill,

United States bank, said that he had

and so on forever and forever.

this on the present financial discus

be said that the Burlington. System

''There is not dollars worth OF
wheat in a gold dollar. Nor is there in

4scT0 Is uOG d OO1ldrS 8 WOrCn OF
wheat in gold dollar. Nor is there in
a silver dollar.
The intrinsic value of the wheat
given for either gold or silver dollar
is greater than the intrinsic value of
the metal in either. The wheat is not
given for the metal. It is given for the
coin as a means of exchange for other
things of equal intrinsic value with the
wheat. Demonetize the gold dollar
which buys bushel of wheat, reduce
it to the intrinsic value of the metal in
it, and the metal in the gold dollar will
not buy a half bushel of wheat, because
that amount of wheat is more useful
for bread than that amount of gold is
for decorating wall paper or making
jewelry.
"If silver is wholly or in part demon
etized, its price falls toward it's intrinsic
value in precisely the same way. The
rule is invariable and to be relied on at
all times. 1t is the first principle of
coinage and those who remember it
and apply it will not be lost in the be-
wildering confusion of statements about
value of this dollar or that. No mat
ter what the dollar is, the exchange
value it has is given by the coinage
stamp on it and this exchange value is
not its intrinsic value by any means
1t is always much greater than the in
trims ic value"
If this is true, is there any difference
in precious metaP' dollars and paper
dollars? In answer to this question
the Financier admits that there is not
any difference and only holds to the
theory that the use of precious metals
gives natural means of controlling
the supply of money.
The denominations of money are
fixed by law without regard to the ma
terial used to carry the money stamp,
which is very tersely expressed by the
United States supreme court thus:
"The constitution does not ordain
what metals may be coined or that the
legal value shall correspond with the
intrinsic. Coin passes not as intrinsic
value, but as legal value"
With these authorities before us it is
very easv to determine What is an
honest dollar?" All dollars issued BY
government authority that are made
full ''legal tender" at their face value,
without regard to the material used to
carry the money stamp, are ''honest
dollars" ''What is a dishonest dollar?"
A dollar issued and made a partial
legal tender Every dishonest dollar
we ever had in this country was the re-
suit of dishonest robber legislation in
the interests Of the money power ''con-
ceived in sin and brought forth in in
iquity,'' the dishonest dollar" is true
to its mission as thief among the
people.-P. T. Boormen, in Southern
Mercury.

Stop and Think.

Some people have an idea that a re-
duction in the price of what they buy is
the great thing to be sought after in the
reform movement. If these people will
only stop and think moment they will
realize that low prices is the one thing
they are protesting against. Low prices
for products of labor mean low wages
for the producer of that product, wheth-
er he is in the shop, factory or on the
farm. Put this in your pipe and smoke
it. remembering that the effect which
low prices on farm products has on the
prosperity of the country is the same
as that of low prices on products of
other labor, whether in the mine, shop
or factory. Reformer.
