A CARD TO DRINKERS
sUwANEE SPRINGS WATER.

To those who have been drinking Suwanee
Springs water [ would urge upon them the
necessity of continuing the free use of it for
three or four weeks. In nearly every case
where the liver is torpid an uncomfortable
feeling and constipation may result, but there
should-be no alarm, as it will be only tempo
rary and shows that the liver and kidney
secretions are being developed and will be
dispelled in twenty-four hours. Continue to
drink freely and often of the Suwanee Springs
water no matter how it affects you, and you
will be very much benefited by the result.

INTRINSIC VALUE.

The Present Value of Gold Is Not Intrinsic
But Arbitrary and Fictitious.
When money changers" invent ar
guments to defend their system of
plumber, and subsidize writer's to give
them rational import, the student of
finance and political economy can afford
to smile, but when person, apparently
honest, openly defends the metallic SUI

the latter quarter of the nineteenth
century, and that, too, with an ability
and spirit deserving of a better cause,

weep in despair.
Ellen B. Dietrich, in the issue of June
1, dwells upon the intrinsic value of
gold and says: There is no objection
to promises to pay restricted to the ex-
tent of solid ability to pay"
Pay what intrinsic value?
If SO, gold possessing no intrinsic
value whatever has no solid ability''
to pay. 1t has commodity and mone-
tary values, separate and distinct, but
intrinsic value, none. Do you mean
pay wealth?
If so, gold has not, even with its .om-
bined monetary and commercial values,
the solid ability. by virtue of its hmita-
ton, to pay one-tenth of the worlds
obligations. There are thousands who
never see gold dollar or its represents
ative, yet who produce wealth in corn,
potatoes, clothing, etc, each and all
exchangeable through money princi-
pally, and such is my dislike for
gold ! never take it except un-
der protest, and if the thing were
boycotted universally it would
have neither monetary or commercial
value except to dentists or jewelers..
have no desire to bring in any side is
sues, such as wages, pint measures or
the like; but l have dealt with one
point only, intrinsic value. Those
properties which sustain life-sun-
shine, water and air-have no CONNER
cial value because of their abundance.
Their value is, therefore, intrinsic ex-
clusively. The value of gold is fcti-
tious monetary value, which, when de-
stroyed, reduces the metal to a conn
modify less valuable than many other
metals. Gold plays the part of watered
stock in the worlds markets, and it is
only a question of common sense when
the people will repudiate, or rather,
demonetiZe all metals.-J. c. Hannon,

The uNlI OF MONEY.
1t Is Ideal, Abstract and Imaginary-Th
Coin We Call the silver Dollar Is "A Mate
rfaI

1t Is Ideal, Abstract and maginary-The
Coin We Call the silver Dollar Is "a Mate
rial Embodiment of 1t.
In 1889 the constitution of the United
States was adopted, which specifically
gave congress the power 80 coin
money and regulate the value thereof. y
In consequence of this the act of 1856,
by the consent of congress-, was ig-
nored, and another act conforming to
the suggestions of Mr.. Hamilton was
passed April, 1872. 1t will be noticed
in this connection that the dollar, or
unit of money is certain number of
grains of silver and its ratio is certain
number of grains of gold, both
having the same debt-paying power
and the same rights to coinage and
circulation. That this has been
changed to our disadvantage will be
shown later on. In order that
this point may be clearly under
stood and the authority undisputed,
reasons for this will appear further in
this work. as discussion of the sub
Ject makes this proposition an impor-
tant one in relation to our financial
system. This act established the orig
inal unit of money in the United States,
designated its material and weight.
and also made provision for its ratio in
gold and copper. 1t should be studied
with much care, as the whole monetary
system of the nation is founded pri-
marily upon it. 1t was passed after a
thorough discussion, and all the old
statesmen were entirely satisfied with
the result quote the sections gov
erning the coinage of the first United
States dollar, with its ratios and subdi-
visions.
Sec g. And be il further enacted. That there
shall be from time to time struck and coined at
the said mint coins of gold, silver and copper

Sec. 20 And be it further enlcted, that the
money of accounts Of the Uniled States shall
be expressed in dollars or units, dimes or
tenths, cents or hundredths, and mills or thous-
andths; dime being the tenth part of a dol
lar, a cent the hundredth part of dollar, a
mill the thousandth part OF a dollar And that
all accounts in the public offices and all pro-
ceedings in the courts of the United States
shall be kept and had in conformity TO this
regula ton.
This act of congress should have for
ever settled the question as to what
was the unit of money. 1t distinctly
says: The eagle, the ten-dollar gold
coin, shall be of the value of ten dollars
or units. These units consisted of
81 25-10Oths grains of pure silver. At
that time this ten units of silver was
worth 24719 grains of pure gold; that is,
one unit of silver contained 3714 grains
of pure silver and its corresponding
ratio, one unit of gold, contained 242l
grains of pure gold. The ratio was
fixed at Is to 1. This was the decision
of the founders of the constitution and
lawmakers at the beginning of our ma
tional existence, and that conclusion
should have been final. That it has
not, we will discover in the progress of
our Investigations. This act became a
law April 2. 1792.-Dunning in History

The Reason Given.

We are often asked what reason we
have for believing that the peoples
party will do more for the laborer than
either of the old parties. The reason
is that the peoples party rests on the
hypothesis that the worlds wealth
should belong to the producers of it,
while the old parties have always acted
on the theory that wealth belongs te
those who arc possessed of cunning
enough to accumulate il, regardless o,
whether they accumulate it or not.
The peoples party rests on natural
rights; the old parties on special privi
leges. Spectator.

LOSING HER ATHLETIC LEAD.
England Finds Her Gallo Eeighbors For
midable ComDetitors

England Finds Her Gallo Neighbors For
midable Competitors.
Now that the French people are culti-
vating athletics of all kinds the per-
formances of the French amateurs
and professionals are attracting con-
siderable attention in England. The
victory of the French oarsmen on the
Seine was a great blow to our boating
men, says an English contemporary,
and NJ. Terront's feat of riding some
thing like three hundred and ninety
two miles on a bicycle in twenty-four
hours is causing considerable appre-
hension in cycle circles over here.
Only couple OF years ago, when Mills
won the Bortleaux-Paris race, 1t was
considered inevitable that the winner
would be an Englishman and, as a
matter of fact, the first Erenchman to
arrive was hours later than the last
Englishman. Things, however, are
very different at the present moment.
Terront's ride of three hundred and
ninety-two miles in twenty four hours
has been beaten here by only one
rider, Shorthand, who did four hundred
and thirteen miles in the same time. A
writer in Bicycling News, however,
comforts its readers by pointing out
that the difference between the two
men was probably greater than it ap-
pears. At the Herne hill track, where
Shorthand rode, the measurement is
from the inside edge, whereas at the
Palais des Machines In Paris the meas
urement Is from a distance of rather
more than yard toward the center.
This would make difference of, say,
yard lap, so that Shorland's per-
formance is really better than Ter
ront's by about twenty-five and half
miles
