A NEW MONEY PROPOSITION.

Pittsburgh Times.
In the Arena for July C. J. Buell. con-
tributes an article on the money ques-
ton which has the merit of advancing
an idea of some novelty. He shows
that in primitive state mankind had
to resort to the use of some commodity
which few people would be likely to re-
fuse as a medium of exchange. The
American Indian used wampum, the
pioneer of Tennessee coonskin, the Hud-
son Bay trapper fur, the Massachusetts
colonist bullets of lead. Tin, iron, gold
and silver ingots were used where they
could be obtained. The loss, annoyance
and inconvenience of using these metals
in their rough state led to their being
stamped as guarantee, not OF their
value, but of their weight and fitness.
The fixing of a stamps the only function
the government can justly exercise as to
the coined money of any people. When
it undertakes to regulate the value of
the commodity it has stamped it exceeds
its power.
The value of gold depends on the
amount of the product and the demand
for it. Between 1889 and 1909 it fell 46
per cent; from 1909 to 1849 it rose 145
per cent; from 1859 to 1872 it fell 20
per cent, and since the latter date it has
increased about 2 per cent. a year. Gold
as yard stick of value was three feet
long in 1889, shrunk to 19a inches in
1909, and is now 4 feet 8 $40 inches
and growing longer every day. Similar
fluctuations have taken place in silver,
and they would be present in any paper
currency based upon these metals. Mr.
Buell. argues from these facts that gold
and silver should give place to cur
rency which will not fluctuate.
He says the National Government
collects $350,000,000 annually and pays
it back to the people. He would have
the Government issue certificates for
this amount. As the population in
creased the amount needed by the Gov
ernment would increase and the money
in circulation would keep pace with the
enlarged needs. The value of the GER
tificates would be based upon the value
of the services and materials due from
the people to the Government in ex-
change for the services of the latter to
the former. If our existing greenback
currency issue were made receivable for
all dues to Government, import duties
included, and the interest on public
debt was made payable in them and the
volume of this currency were increased
to the amount of the annual National
revenue we should have paper money
exactly like that proposed by Mr.. Buell..
The difficulty about the whole matter
would be our inability to trade with
other nations, which would hardly be
likely to accept such currency in set
| tlement of their bills.
