The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-02-08
MONEY Is NOT WEALTH.

written and talked OF until everybody
understood the question; yet there is 9
shsrp and never-ceasing controversy upon
every phase Of the subject. IL truth has
but to show it's light to be-accepted, then
why does the false SO long hold swsyP
For thousands OF years it was held
that the ownership Of one human being
by another -chsttel slavery-wss right,
and was sanctioned by the Divine law
(the majority Of mankind believe so now);
vet TO him who will snslyze the ques-
tion. to him that think for himself, re-
gardless Of what some learned (?) and
ancient writer said Of the "rights OF
man 100 or 1000 years ago, he will see
the great truth that all men have the
same equal and natural rights; though
this conclusion might be hard for some
to reach, for the weight Of authority is in
favor Of unequal rights, or chattsl slav-
ery. But when one seeks for the truth,
he must proceed on right lines regardless
Of consequences. Because Montesquieu
and Hume laid down the dictum which,
stated in the words Of Hume, is as fol-
lows: ut seems a maxim almost self
evident that the prices OF everything
depend on the proportion between COM
modities and money, and that any con-
siderable alteration on either has the
effect OF heightening or lowering the
price," from that time to the present
no other authority has been more fire.
qusntly quoted than Hume. But does
Mr.. Hume tell truthP Does he not
say, "It seeEs almost self evidentP" A
truth law is not " "almost;" it Is self-evi-
dent. The attraction Of gravltation is
law self.evident and not " almost"
IL the theory as set forth by Mr.. Hume
be true, i. g., "that prices or values Of
things depend on the proportion between
commodities and money" then it follows
that things produced by labor that were
used to satisfy mans wants, being pro-
duced before the invention OF money,
there was no price or value to them; and
il all the money now on the earth were
irrecoverably lost, there would cease to
be any values OF prices for goods. Can
this be trueY There is law in physics,
that you can 80 adjust lever that one
pound will balance ten, and ten balance
100. This is as true in one country as
another; and If Mr.. Hume's law is true,
that country having the largest amount
Of money in circulation will have the
highest values attached to goods and Ia
Dor. Il has been written that the
United States has $40, England S24, and
France $48 per capita Of money in circu-
lation. If the law as laid down by Mr..
Hume is true, we must find that values
and prices for labor and things produced
by labor are twice as high in England as
the United States; double the price Tor
things in France to what they are in
England; and four times as high In
France % the United States. While
some men hold that Mr.. Hume is right,
yet we find France selling wheat and
many other commodities in England,
while both countries exchange products
with the United States; and as COM
merce consists in taking goods from
places where they are comparativelycheap
TO places where they are higher in price OF
more valuable, we see the amount o.
money in circulation does not fix prices
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-02-08

it Of certain functions, without regard to
it's form or substance" 1t is thing by
which we estimate or reckon values and
"performs the same Office without re-
gard to the value Of things that degrees,
minutes, seconds, ETC., do with regard
to angles, or as scales do to geographical
maps, or to plans of any kind" an srlth-
metical process by which values Of differ
ent products are compared one with
another. Hence, il we look closely, we
will find that instead Of the amount OF
money in circulation making prices or
fixing values, it is the amount OF labor
required to produce or change existing
matter into forms to satisfy our wants or
crafty our desires that make things
valuable. Even utility does not make
value. for we find air, which has great
utility, without value, as it requires no
labor to produce it; OF sunlight the same
can be said. So when / hear person
discussing the social question, and hold
ing to the everlasting truth % that to
double the circulating medium Of the
country Will double prices and Danish
the causes that produce poverty, al
ways feel like asking the question,
"What would be the result If we double
it agsin?" and "By what process do you
propose to raise the price of things 5 per
cent. higher in the United States than in
other parts of the world 2"
Money ia simply q representative OF
wealth in a money sense. Gold, silver,
nickel and copper is wealth, and, when
made into certain forms, is money; but
paper money is pure, unadulterated
money. If in this country all money were
lost, and all wealth producers would
agree to write, exchanges would 60 ION as
before, while we would be estimating the
prices Of products by our old money OF
account; corn at 30 cents per bushel,
wheat at 60 cents, hogs at cents per
pound, and cattle at 5 cents, though
there would not be a dollar Of goldj sl-
YER or government paper money in cir
oulation. Let US see how it is done
to-day. Farmer A and Miner B sell a
carload Of wheat and coal. Each one re-
ceives check for the value Of their pro-
duct; they deposit the checks in bank
or other place of exchange, for which
each one receives credit for the wealth
he produced; on the same book the
buyer G has the amount Of the checks
debited to his account. Now the ex-
change is only half made. @ makes
sight draft on D, for which G receives
credit. D remits draft on 2. A gives
checks to the dry goods merchant, the
druggist, and the shoe merchant, FOL
which the merchants receive credit and
A debit. When the merchants pay for
the goods that A bought, they get
draft from the bank on E. This opera
ton of exchanges can be carried by the
reader with the use of checks to any
length he may. The same result is pro-
duced by checks as with money; that is
the exchange Of products or real wealth
This is what daily occurs. Nine dollars
of value out of every ten that is depos
tied IN banks or other centers Of ex
change are simply representatives o.
wealth-checks or drafts. Or course il
would be inconvenient to write checks
for / cent or other small amounts, yet i
could be done. 1t is the convenience

Lieutenant 7. It. Sohne of the
Imperial Japanese navy who
visits these Islands as a special
correspondent of the Toxic Jiy-

Immigrant Association of Japan

morning in company with Mr..
T. 0. Sugawara of San Francisco.
The latter gentleman has been
here before and is much interest
ed in the welfare and the obtain
ing of civil rights for his country
men in Hawaii nei. Both gen
tlemen will probably depart by
the next steamer for Japan, and
there report the position of the
japanese in Hawaii under the
present circumstances to their
friends and associates.

An Enterprising Postmaster.

The Postmaster in Lahaina is
evidently not working for moth
ing. One of our remarkable
laws is that all Postmasters shall
keep revenue stamps for sale and
of course sell them at the face
value. We are informed by a
gentleman recently returned from
Lahaina that revenue stamps
there are quoted at 81. 10 piece.
That man ought to be a cabinet
minister.

Horner "says what good boy

we could not corral a superior
quantity OF lunacy by turning
loose the inmates of the Insane
Asylum to make room for Mr..
Carter. His present quarters
are obviously inadequate to
the scope of his intellectual
expansion.

BacK-sTAIRs ADVISERS.

Hawaii has known too many OF
the breed described above.
They come smilingly and softly.
They sing their hymns and cast
their snares under pretenses OF
friendship and loyalty-some-
times very much disguised. Let
it be understood once for all that
the Hawriian nation has done
for ever with such vermin.
lie gitimate and con
stitutional government is what
Hawaii wants, and let anyone OPP
pose the nation in that just de.
mand, whether such opposition
come from the high or the low,
from those who are rebels, or those
who believe in ruling right. by
divine grace, the result will
be equally disastrous. The
American Government will
make redress for the wrong
done in its name here to
the HAWAIIAN PEOPLE, and not to
any individual or clique.

A PROPOSED COMPROMISE.

1t is claimed that certain in
fiuences are at work to secure a
cabinet together with the restora-
ton of the Queen which will be
suitable to the loyal people as
we'll as to the rebels, who have
paraded under the title of a
provisional government" The
idea is absurd if the pro.
moters of it can believe that the
United States are going to help
in furthering such a scheme. Any
body understanding English
who has read the message of
President Cleveland must
realize that his intention
is not to interfere in the
absolutely domestic affairs of the
Hawaiian Islands by making
cabinets tor the Queen, but his
intention is to make reparation
and redress For the usurpation
headed by John l.. Stevens
which ended In the temporary
establishment of provisional
government and in the practical
repeal of the constitution of
1887. IF the United States ex-
press regret for that usurpation
it cannot possibly be through the
means of a committing another
wrong and taking upon themselves
another violation of the fnnda-
mental law of Hawaii nei. ANY
attempt to force upon the coun-
try ministry appointed contrary
to the constitution will be
the final disaster to Hawaiian
independence. The restoration
of Queen Liliuokalani to which
Cleveland is now in honor bound
means the restoration Of the con-
stitution of Hawaii and the Queen

A Constitutional Monarchy.

The Sandwich Islands nave
in the geographical school-books
been described as possessing a
constitutional monarchy. By
that term the civilized world
understand form of government
under which the head is called
sovereign. Emperor, King, or
Queen AS the case may be-.
but under which the constitution
and not the sovereign is the
ruler. The constitution is repre-
scented by the cabinet ministers,
who are responsible for their
actions to the people as repre-
scented by men elected for
the purpose of representation.
The sovereign is virtually a
fgurehead placed before a
nation mt the choice of the nation
as the embodiment of popular
will and as the outward repre-
sentative of that nation. The
business is altogether in the
hand of the Ministers and cannot
be taken out of their hands in
countries having the most perfect
constitutional laws except
through the vote of the peoples
representatives.
We were not led to make these
general remarks by reading the
essay in the Advertiser on French
history, but the usual batch of
rumors let loose every morning in
this city have induced us to pass
a few remarks referring to our
local affairs which may be bene-
fetal to our friends and to the
loyalists and other citizens
generally.
