WHAT ES MONEY!?
Editor Meridional -:

EulCOE -
You have kindly given space in
your valuable paper to o discussion
of Finance and different ideas by
different people have been advanced.
Some rather visionary and some so
profoundly scholarly that it's hard
for the Hayseed common people to
understand. Will you allow a lady
through your paper to give her ideas
of money. "a hayseed if you please.)
We have studied finance some and
have read a great many different
opinions of what constitutes the me-
dium called money. Some evidently
think gold and silver are money,
others hold that gold and silver as
such are absolute measures of value.
Values in fact are not measured but
compared. Gold and silver have
commercial values and are made to
bear money values, bot neither is a
measure or standard. Values In the
sense Of a pound for weight, or a
yard for length. Values are ever
huctuating as are the values of these
metals as also are those of real
money. Money is not necessarily
either gold, silver or paper. Money
is.simply a credit representative; an
evidence that a given good is due
and holden from a community at
large. A thing created by law rep.
resenting a credit value for CONNER
cial purposes to pay debts and taxes.
Money is an official representative
and may be made Of material con-
tanning commercial value and valua.

silver, copper, nickel and iron.
Americas money is never sem to

metal of factuating not intrinsic
value that is accepted by our foreign
creditors who convert such metal
or other fuctuatiDg value into the

money or credit account OF his own
country. Gold and silver are ever
fuctuating in value, not only with
reference to each other but also as
to all other values. Silver has not
fallen in value so much Of late as
that gold has gone away up. Meas
ured by other values a corner In gold
is just as possible as a corner in
wheat, or any other commodity,
Gold has been cornered practically
for years, aud if its controllers could
force their ideas of its being a stand
ard of the true measure of money,
then they would corner the irdus,
tries of the world, and the poor ig-
norant hayseed as we'll as "a vast
army of others who scof at hayseed
for company would be in a hard
scrape indeed.
Real money is that which the law
declares shall be legal tender for
any commercial obligation material
or individual, its value resting on
and being extensive with the
ability or value Of the government
that makes tits credit, everything
else in tho way of metal money. and
paper money, being but representa-
tives or legible evidences Of such
ability or credit. The material of
which they are made holding their
relative commercial values as mate

as we have tried to make the ideas
as plain as possible. We know our

The New Orleans papers quote
fcotton seed at $12 per ton. This
should make them bring $40 per ton
on the river bank. We would ad-
wise the planters, however, not to be
in too great haste to sell their seed,
for we feel convinced that as soon as
it becomes generally known how
really short the present cotton crop
is, seed will be quoted in the City at
not less than SIG per ton, which
would%be $l4 on the river bank.
