pressed; and this effort to excite
prejudice against the press in the
minds OF Alliance people by telling
them that the reason Of our opposi-
tion is the refusal Of the company to
buy our influence is the first step in
the attempt to carry that threat into
execution. In this undertaking the
company has already found q fit tool
to do its dirty work.
OF all the agencies that have been
instrumental in building up up the
Alliance, none have been more potent
than the reform press. No class Of
men has made more sacrifices, or
labored more earnestly, unsel6shly
and disinterestedly for the good of
the organization than the many pub
fishers Of reform papers. None have
done more even to build up the state
exchange. They have published
pages Of what other business institu-
tions would consider legitimate ad'
vertising, free Of charge, and have
been boycotted by other advertisers
for doing it; and in view Of these
facts it comes with very bad grace
from one who pretends to be an ALI
ance man to thus attempt by deliber-
ate and malicious fslsehood, to destroy
the influence of the press, by seeking
to prejudice the minds Of Alliance
people against it, because it opposes
q thing which it honestly believes to
be wrong in principle and ruinous in
practice. It is for the people to de-
termine whether or not this malicious
design shall succeed For one we

MONEY-WHAT IS IT2-ITS USES AND
ABUSES.

CHAPTER II.


To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
In former article we have considered
the questions, What Is, and what is not
money? The next will be to find out
what its uses are, for whose interests it
is made, and how 1t may best subserve
the interests of the people Tor the power
that gives it it's being). And since money
is government fat, vested in given
commodity, the question as to whose In
terests are tirst to be served, demands an
answer. Evidently, whoever or whatever
constitutes a government, that makes
money, does so with the intent Of secur-
Ing, first, 1t own best interests, and after
that the interests of It's favoFites. In .
monarchy or kingdom, the power to make
money being vested In the king, when he
makes 1t his own interests are first consid
cred, then those of his subjects; but
in a republic, or representative govern
ment, where all authority is vested in the
people as q whole (not In part), are to be
considered, and justice would demand
that such disposition should be made OF
the money produced by the authority as
would tend to insure the greatest good to
the greatest humber.
The last named form Of government
being ours, we are now prepared to ask,
what use have we for money, and what
are its legitimate functionsS Since mon
ey is not the product Of any one indiVid-
nal, but Of the whole, 1t follows that
money cannot be the property Of any In
dividual, but the property Of the people
in common, and all that any one individ-
ual can rightfully claim Is the use Of his
just share of the peoples money, not In
fee perpetual right, but In use. What
then are its uses? This calls for refer
ence to our first proposition, viz, to facil-
itate the exchange Of commodities; mon
ey may have some subordinate uses, but

THE NATIONAL UNION COMPANY.

county Alliances, is making the state
ment that the reason why the reform
press is opposing the National Union
Company is because it has refused to
put up to the reform press. The
statement is absolutely false, and no
man better knows it to be false than
Mr.. Snyder. In it's opposition to the
National Union Company the reform
press is not only consistent with its
past record, but il is likewise consist
ent with all the past teachings OF the
Alliance itself, which exists to-day as
an organized protest against trusts
and combines in all departments OF
trade. Furthermore, we have good
reasons to believe that if our influence
upon this question was q marketable
commodity it would not be necessary
TO advertise for purchaser. We
speak advisedly upon this subject.
In all we have said upon the SUBJ
ject we have spoken simply of the
corporation itself, of its character, its
purposes, and the consequences we
sincerely believe would follow its es-
tRblishment, and the monopoly which
it proposes Of the mercantile interests
Of the entire country. We have care
fully refrained from calling in question
the motives of any person in the ALI
snce, in this state or elsewhere, who
is favorable to this company. In
fact, from our personal acquaintance
with some Of these men, it would be
exceedingly difficult to convince us
that they are not perfectly honest in
what they say and do in connection
with this matter. We differ with
them in regard to it, and we believe
we have good reasons for our views,
and have as good right to express
them as have those who hold an op.
posite opinion.
In view of Mr.. Snyder's unjust
charges, however, we will take occa
sion to observe now, that if there is
any known fact that would seem to
indicate that any person has been in
fluenced by mercenery motives in the
attitude he has assumed toward this
gigantic trust, it is the fact that Mr..
Snyder himself, who recently read y
paper before the Kansas State Agri-
cultural Society in which he severely
denounced the Live Stock Exchange
and the beef combine, because OF their
purpose to prevent competition in the
sale of live stock, and to prevent the
producer from having any share in
the profits of the business" and who
has but recently been driven out OF
the field as an agent for TIE sale OF
live stock by the combine against
which he 30 loudly declaims, is now
using his influence to establish COM
bine, the magnitude Of which causes
the Live Stock Exchange and the
beef combine to sink into insignif-
canoe by comparison. Mr.. Snyder
would have done we'll to have re-
Trained from this unjust and unwar-
rantable allusion to the reform press.

ready means In the exchange OR com
moditles. The agriculturlst Of the west
requires for his comfort and convenience
the products Of the manufacturer OF the
east; the nature Of the case forbids direct
exchange; some indirect method must
be adopted, and experience has shown
that the most convenient indirect method
Is by bills Of credit; these vested with
government authority are found to just
meet the requirements; but when the
farmer sells his produce, and receives his
bills Of credit money, the exchange ls
only half made, and 20 with the mAnuiac-
turer. The next step Is 10 exchange
these bills of credit for other products,
when the exchange is complete. When
this Is done the functions Of money are
In the main accomplished. True this 10
giving to money very limited functions,
but whatever beyond this ia claimed for
1t is more imaginary than real; the pay
msnt Of a debt is but the completion Of
the debtors part Of q deferred exchange,
but If the government furnished money
at cost Of production, in sufficient quanti-
ty 80 transact the business Of the nation
on cash basis, debt would soon become
q thing OF the past, and therefore ltS debt
paying qualities would cease to exist
except "a FIRE exists In flint and steel.
But money as measure Of value iS
the merest fiction, for 10 be q measure OF
value il must be a uniform standard that
admits Of no exceptions; but in every day
business life we find the value Of cOmmod-
tiles constantly changing, just 40 the
demand for them increases or dlmlnisheG
in proportion TO the supply, and whatever
other claims may be set up for money,
such as It's power to increase by cunning
manlpulations, win not bear iuvestlga
tIon. We have then found it's chief and
| might almost say, its only use 10 TO "a
cilltats the exchange Of commodities.
We now come to speak Of Its moneys,
abuses, a far more difficult task, ,lnasmuch
as their name ls legion. l shall only at
tempt to mention and describe the most
serious and injurious.
First in order stands the abuse Of
money by which base commodity ia
made to usurp the name and function Of
money, and by which ususurpStion the
true character and value Of money lS set
aside and kept out Of view, and by which
an expensive and scarce commodity has,
on account Of it's expenslveneSs and
scarcity, being accepted aS being
what 1t was not (moneyl and allowed
to attempt the discharge OF functions for
which ION account Of its scarcity It was
wholly disqualified, and though ever 80
abundant, Is Objectionable (?) on account
Of Its being inconvenlent to handle.
Second, on account, In case Of its being
lost, It's being q total loss, because its
value as money is based ucon lts sup
posed intrinsic value, in place Of its real
monetary value, and, third, on account OF
the ease with which It can be, and Is,
diverted from the legitimate uses Of
money, In SubserVing the best interests
of the many, to being made tool, In the
hands Of the few, with which to extort
unjust revenue from the many, in the
form Of interest; and, fourth, that COM
modify owned by individuals is made the
repository Of money quality; thus the

The Exports OF Gold.

Washington dispatch says: The atten-
tion of financial experts In Congress is still
engaged with the heavy shipments of gold
which have been made within the past few
days, and considerable apprehension has been
caused by the fact that So 600 in gold has
been taken out of the treasury, and that So
per cent of the customs receipts this month
have been In treasury notes. The prevailing
opinion seems to be that no panic will occur
through stringency in the money market A
few financial experts, however, think the stu
alton is more serious than is generally sup
posed TO be the case.
Secretary Charles Foster does not belong to
the latter class. In an interview he said that,
in his opinion the financial furry has passed.
The treasury department has exported nearly
fll ,0O0, 600 of gold, of which all but $3,OOG,-
900 have been returned. He expects this TO
be released by January l.
Senator Teller said that heavy shipments of
gold may lead to serious situation, and he
has apprehension for the future.

DR.. McGIynn Restored.

The famous case of Father McGlynn of 81.
Stephens church, New York, has finally been
decided by the restoration to him of authori-
ty TO perform his priestly functions. The
settlement of the case came within the scope
of the general power vested in Mgr. Satolli,
the papal legate, and the decision was pro-
mulgated by him Friday night at the Catholic
University, where he is stopping.
Mgr Satollrs statement Is that DIR. Nc
Glynn was declared free from ecclesiastical
censures and restored to the exercise of his
priestly functions after having satisfied the
pspal legate on all the points in his case.
The effect of this decision by Mgr. Satolli
Is limited. II enables Father McGlynn to
serve as priest in any parish to which he
may be assigned. A return to his old fold at
st. Stephens is a subject for further consid-
Grafton and must be settled, the authorities
here say, by Archbishop Corrigan of New
York.

The unconquered Yaquis.

The Mexican government troops sent from
chihuahua to the Siorra Madre Mountains to
suppress the Yaqui and Mayo Indian upris-
ings are unable to put down the rebellion.
The Indians to the number of 5000, have
their rendezvous in an almost inaccessible
canon OF the Yaqui river, and bands of them
continue from time to time to make frequent
raids upon the white and Mexican settlers.
Dozens of families have been massacred dur
ing the past few weeks, and the troops have
been powerless to prevent the depredations.
The Indians are known to be the most des-
perate fighters in Mexico and the troops, with
the present small force, dare not attempt to
attack them in their native Businesses. The
Yaauis number about 10000 and they have
never been conquered by the Mexican govern
ment. They occupy rich agricultural and
mineral region and never paid any taxes.
