METALLIC MONEY.

Its Value Is Arbitrary and Artificial and
Impaired to 1t by Fiat Of Law.
The world to-day is examining the
question of money as never before in
its history, Why? Because intelli-
gence, education and thinking are more
general than eve: before. This intel
lgence recognizes few facts:
1. Gold and silver by the common
consent of mankind has in all ages
been used to represent values-money.
2. The quanty of each metal in .
unit Of this value has been always fixed
by law-by society or government.
3. This unit of value is made effect
i've by making it a legal tender for all
payments.
That is the history and the nature of
money in a metal. This legal tender
quality is made practical by receiving
what is so declared for all taxes due
the government, and by the govern
ment paid out in discharge of all its OBJ
legations
But the intelligence of the age has
found out that gold and silver are dug
out of the ground, and that the govern
ments of the world permit individuals
to own those places where they are
found, thus allowing individuals, who
may be aliens or enemies, to own the
money of the world.
And whatever may be the outcome Of
the present situation of things an in
telligent people will not permit such a
condition to always exist.
The difference between fiat" or le-
gal value, and other values is very
simple thing when you get at it in
plain way. Leaving the idea of money
out Of the question, gold or silver is in
demand for certain uses, and worth ex-
actly what that use may demand. II
is the same with iron, lead, copper,
marble, lumber or anything else.
Somuch gold and silver are mined in
the world, and so much-about half
the gold and one-eighth the silver
goes into use Sin the arts" rs they term
it. Nowy II money was not made Of
these metals the supply for the arts
would DO double what it is and the
prices rule accordingly. But If tho metal
is used as money-so many grains
making unit of value, or . dollar ~
we call tho unit-this money value gov
ems the price Of tho other half that
goes into use.
That is exactly what has been done
by the act Of 1878. It changed the unit
from silver dollar to a gold dollar,
took away the power to coin silver, and
made it worth just what its use in the
manufactures and the arts makes it.
Take away from gold this unit value
Gin all payments" as the law reads,
and gold will fall to the price it's use
in the arts would fix upon tor the
demand for it for that purpose.
This is all there is to this whole
question of values, units, etc. Gold or
silver for manufactures and the arts is
worth SO much, as are corn and wheat.
But give them a legal value on a fixed
unit of amount, and they command
that price for the arts, or as commod-
ity, and, in addition, measure all other
values. There is nothing to them az
money but the fiat" Of law. All talk
outside of this is simply gab-most of
it dishonest gable at that. What is
not dishonest is ignorance. Kansas

The foregoing from the Waterman,
probably reflects the sentiments of the
powers that be in the peoples party.
If the populists in congress are true to
these principles they will be found vot-
ing with the anti-Silverites, against all
compromise measures providing for
free coinage at greater ratio than Is
to 1. Thus they will indirectly aid in
accomplishing what they should desire
to accomplish by direct means, i e., the
elimination of the silver question from
the financial problem.
Aside from this, however, what
wanted to emphasize was the sound
ness of the Watchman's logic and tho
conclusions arrived at, though tho
whole argument be based upon false
premises. The 'gold standard" il
present, not'prospecslve. The gold dol
lar has been the unit Of value for twen-
ty years and was made so by the act Of
February 10, 1S73-17th statutes at
