Philosophical.

An old schoolmaster, venerable dis
ciple of good old Izaak Walton" once
told a Companion contributor this pleas
ing tale of his life as an angler:
remember, when l was boy, going
out one morning before sunrise to fish
for a pickerel had just hooked big
one, when along came countryman.
He said nothing, but, with his mouth
wide open, stopped to see the fun. The
contest had lasted more than half an
hour, when suddenly, just as l was
about to land the prize, the pickerel,
with one last rush for liberty, made
good his escape.
With lump in my throat, instinct
lively turned to the countryman for
consolation.
WAL. I'll be hanged he exclaimed.

pYRIaHr. 1871


Donald Burns, an animal trainer who
spent many years in II employ Of P.
7. Barnum, received a communica-
ton from the worlds fair commits
sioners in relation to a den Of snakes for
the exposition. Mr.. Burns has had con-
siderable correspondence with the COM
missiOners over his proposed exhibit of
from two to dozen or more reptiles of
every form that inhabit al known re-
gions of the earth. He was informed
that suitable arrangements would
be made for his great collection of
snakes and he would be given all posi-
bic assistance in collecting every spe-
cies of the reptilian race He proposes
to make this great den of snakes. which
will be placed in the Natural His
tory building, one of the most startling
realistic exhibitions ever known. Al
ready he has more than fifty different
species in readiness for the fair. and
his agents are at work all over the
world in collecting serpents in their
great variety of forms.
YES" said Mr.. Burns, when saw
him at No. ia Roosevelt street.
II have undertaken the by no
means easy task of supplying every
known species of snake to the worlds
fair. 1t will be the greatest collection
ever known, and it will be made one of
the most remarkable exhibitions of rep
tiles ever witnessed. My idea is not
alone to have the great den of serpents
in full view, but also to permit those
who desire it to view the snakes at
meal time. The multitude of I'M
believers as to the power serpents pos
sess of swallowing a prey the diameter
of whose body exceeds many fold that
of their own will, if they desire it, be
enabled to witness it"
but as all snakes d o not agree, will
it be advisable to have them all to-
gether?"
"Wel, have not as yet fully perfect
ed the arrangements appertaining to
the display of the reptiles in the Nat
ural History building. The idea that
strikes rue as most likely to be adopted
is to have a great Enclosure of very

alumni dinner: "I feel like the little
daughter of a friend of mine in Port
land. She had just mastered the art OF
EXPRESSING herself in intelligent SEN
tences. One day she had done some
thing for which her mamma had to re-
prove her. The lady gave her daughter
q sound lecture and then told her to go
up stairs, alone, in her room, and ask
God to forgive her for her error.
"In a few minutes she was surprised
to see the baby come down stairs again,
appear in the sitting room and stand
back with a great deal of seriousness.

told your asked the fond mother.

TWO OF A KIND.
lRr'B Tribune,

From The Iowa Farmers Tribune.
David Bennett Hill, ex-governor and
Democratic Senator from New York, is
cutting very large sized figure In ma
tional politics and his friends confidently
claim that he will receive the practically
unanimous support Of the New York del
egation at the Chicago convention, for
the presidential nomination, though the
better element OF New York Democracy
ls vigorously protesting and monster
demonstration was made against his po-
Iitical methods at Cooper Union, New
York,a few days since. His success hlth-
erto gives every reason TO believe that
such will be the case. just now the anti
Hill Democratic leaders and journals Of
New York are ventllatiDg Mr. Hills un-
savory record and writhlng fercely in
the evils he has placed about them.
They will doubtless come under the yoke
all right when they find resistance use
less, but the friends Of pure government
should listen to what they now have to
say of this man. The Post Is one Of the
leading Democratic papers Of New York
In Its issue Of February 8, It devotpa

Hlll's record and methods. Edltorially

neither the one nor the other. Money 10
q conventional convenience, and serves
only for rating and transferring the pro-
ductlons of labor.
From the foregoing, It is self evident
to the candid man, that the commercial
value Of gold 10 principally fictitious, and
that men are robbed not only OF the fruits
OF their toll, but of their natural rights,
every day they live under our present
monetary system.
What right has our lawmakers to
make an artificial demand for the pro-
ductions of the gold miners, thereby Sc
curing them greater profits, # the same
blessings are not extended to the pro-
ductions of all labOrers. This smacks of
pariiality, and not Of equal rights.
Since 1t is not the gold that Is the
money, it follows that II the productions
Of the gold miners are entitled to free
coinage. inasmuch as we are all In favor
of equal righ's--then it follows that the
productions Of every mans labor should
have free coinage. But since this can
not be done let US do something as just,
and at the same time more convenient
make money out Of paper, thing that
that ls 80 abundant that our law makers
can always procure enough to make
money 80 abundant that business will be
done on cash basis, to the destruction
of usury, and the greatest prosperity Of
the people. Then exact and equal jus
tice would be done TO all, which 10 the
very essence of the teachings Of holy
writ.
Many writer's speak Of legal tender pa
per money as bills Of credit, or credit
money. Legal tender paper money Is no
more credit money than legal tender gold
money is credit money. They are both
absolute money. They both have the
same basis, viz, legality, and without that
basis neither would be money. We hear
much Of gold basis, land basis and other
property bases for money. A property
basis carries with it the idea Of redeem
ability; such an issue would not be
money, but a promise to pay money. The
people do not want redeemAble money;
they want irredeemable money, a money
that will be money for all time, only to
be replaced by new money when Il be-
comes worn. Legal tender money, no
matter what it is made of, Is absolute
money, and does not require redeemsr
any more than our Saviour requires q
redeemer. II. w. MILLER.

soLD; ITS PROPERTIES AND MORAL USE.


things do not possess intrinsic value.
Gold and silver then do not possess IN
trinsic value. They both have Intrinsic
properties. All bodies have intrinsic
properties. Value is a property of no
commodity. The intrinsic properties OF
iron are more valuable than those of
gold. II iron were snnihilAted, civiliza-
ton would depart, If substitute could
not be- found. If gold were snnihilated,
society would practically lose nothing
that would block the wheels of progress.
1t is a misuomsr to call gold and silver
the precious metals. Tney are only pre-
cious to the knave0, who by deception
make the people believe that they are the
only fit materials OF which to make mo-
ney. Iron, lead and tin are the precious
metals. They are the mainsprlng OF civ
ilIzation. When Cresus In ostentatiOn
showed Solon all hia gold and silver, So
lon remarked, "Slr, If any other come,
that hath better iron than you, he will be
master of all this gold"
II iron were as scarce as gold, it's com
merclal value would be many times
greater than that Of gold.
Upon what, then, does commercial
value dependH Primarily, all other
things being equal-utili'y. But gold
has not the utility that iron has. Does
not the scarci y or abundance of COM
modify fix It's commercial value, that is,
Its true value? Yes, IL 1t is not monopO-
lized, or used for immoral purposes. II
the greater part of the value OF com
modify depends upon its monopoly, or
immoral use, the greater part of It's value
is d 'titlOus-unnatural. Gods bounties
can be used naturally, that is morally; or
unuaturally, that is immorally. If q
things commercial value Is not due to Its
utility, that is its moral use, its CONNER
cial value must be due to demand for
it for an immoral use. If thing is
used to beautify with moral object
in view, or even with mercensry mo-
tive, provided it does not deceive or in
iure any one, then 1t performs praise
worthy utility.
Now If gold were only used for practi
cal and moral utilities, and It's demand
for these purposes not increased, Its
value would drop off so or rs per cent.
1t was shown In former articles that
gold added nothing to the value of mo-
ney-that If money was made out Of
gold, the gold was lost In the legal ten
der, or the legal tender-the essential
ides-was the mOney-and the gold q
glamour-and that paper would carry
the sign Of money as we'll, and be more
convenient. This Is self evident; for
money is nothing but clearing house;
q conventional thing, and whatever our
law makers decide upon for money that
is convenient is as good as any other
thing that they may decide upon. Things
that are equal to the same thing are
equal to one another. A legal tender is al
ways equal to any other legal tender. A
legal tender holds over the material 1t is
stamped upon.
Since belief that 1t Is necessary that
money should be made of gold and silver
is deception, which enables the fe0 on
account Of the scarcity of these metals to
monopolze the custom Of money to their
own selfish and unjust emolument, ,favOrs
usury, panics, destruction Of homes,
