The Monetary Standards.

In this issue of the paper "Phil-
adelphia Banker" writes Of the mon
etary situation. He is a broker as
well, a member of the Stock EX-
change, allied with the commercial
interests of the country. He views
the situation as a speculator, think
ing only Of the advantages of ex-
change, of how the commercial cen
tres can best gain wealth in barter,
through trading in the products of
labor. As he has no thought beyond
value in exchange, so his standard
of value conforms to his purpose.
"Commerce, beneath whose poison
breathing shade no solitary virtue
dares to spring, has set the mark of
selfshness, the signet of its all en-
Shaving power, upon shining ore,
and called it gold"
LABOR THE BASIS OF VALUE.
Money is a documentary promise
to supply SO much labor on demand,
issued by the government and sus-
tanned by the accumulated labor
(wealth) Of the land. As the notes
of an individual are sustained by
property so are the notes of a gov
ernment sustained by the buildings
railroads, improved lands, etc, the
accumulated labor Of the country,
The material upon which the prom
ise is issued does not invalidate the
promise itself The promises Of a
government rich in products of labor
are accepted whether issued upon
paper, silver or gold. It is the ca
paeity to provide labor in exchange
for money that makes the issue val
liable. A man who loans money
upon a farm does not want gold in
return; he wants the farm or a house,
accumulated labor in some form.
Every body knows that gold has no
intrinsic value, it has commercial
value because all Of the govern
ments of the world have consented
to its passing as a medium Of ex
change. You may fill your houses
and barns with it till the rafters
bresk, pile it mountains high until il
reaches the heavens, and all oft vii.

suggestion.

Who three months ago would have
believed that the Senate would have
been unable to pass the bill repeating
the Sherman silver bill2 There has
been a great change in public opin-
ion in regard to the demonetization
of silver in the last few weeks, and
to-day the entire delegation in Con
gress from Delaware is misrepre-
senting a great majority of our peo-
ple. We doubt not but that Sena-
tors Higgins and Gray and Con-
gressman Causey are conscientious
in their course, but Delawareans by
a large majority favor the retention
of silver as money. To repeal the
Sherman law without further legis-
lasion establishing a status for silver
money, would be fag. more -iRs'rr'
Peas are an country thod to continue
the law as it is. In the first case
depreciation in silver would bank
supt the debtor class, while in the
latter only a few millions will be an

even this by legislation could be
thrown into circulation.

were any in front of his store Pri-
vate carriages were conspicuous in
New York at that time, for there were very
few of them. Stewart wanted them to stand

would give the impression that the occupan Is,
who represented the wealth of New York,
