INTRINSIC VALUE.

IThe following letter has been received In
answer to our inquiry as to the property or
quality OF gold and silver upon which les lnGFin-
EC value depends. On receipt Of the letter we
thought Of making reply lit by giving fair
discussion Of the subject and quoting from the
best authorities that have written upon IL. On
reflection, however, we have determined 10
simply publish. the letter. If our hard money
friends are satisfied with this answer, we are,
certainly. We do not think It worth while to
waste ammunition on such small game as this.
II there Is any logical basis for the doctrine
Of intrinsic value In money or In the material OF
which It shall be made we should be glad to sec

but such stuff as this only needs to be published

EDITOR ADVoCATE:-Yo ask "Upon
what property does the intrinsic value
Of gold and silver dependp No one
but q calamity hOwler would ask such q
question. This question was fully and
unanswcrRbly covered by an article in
the Topeka Capital Of May 13, 1891. It
said "The intrinsic value Of money Is
one Of the primary factors in political
economy and finance. That money has
and must have a value Of its Own--s
value 30 much superior to the value Of
other commodities that 1t is the one
thing always exchangable and hence
always as q medium in the exchange Of
other things, is as clear as that the sun
shines" II it were not for the intrinsic
value Of gold and silver we could not
have stable money. The Capital wisely
adds, "Who will have the hardlhood to
deny that the Creator intended gold and
silver to be the materials and basis for
money" The next question you ask is
silly, and is answered In the above. Is

teElsl Of which money Is made shall

There is demand for comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the influ-
enees surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future This book has been written by
Hon. w. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls, The title is The FARNER's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest.
he gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings Of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In a clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations of facts and Ag-
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion Of The Way out"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres-
entation of the aims and views of the FarmerS'
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book il the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize is value. 1t is q compendium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought 10 have at hand.
Tm FARnHR's SIDE has just been issued,
and makes q handsome and substantial book
Of $50 pages. We have arranged with the pub
