on the rocks aud upset boat. We
lost some cooking apparatus. but
saved most Of our other stuff. We
reached Forty Mile the 18th Of June

And Mr.. Davis holds that il we had
more money in circulation in this coun-
try, prices would 60 up, and that would
enable this mechanic the more easily to
pay his rent of $1,000. But il prices go
up, will not land values 60 up, too? And
how about your child and mine, that
next year, or some future time, must get
home? Will the issuing of more money
now assist them to get home with less
labor? Is not the advocacy Of issuing
more money to secure social ills like the
doctor giving a palliative without seek
ing to remove the cause that produces
the evil? Why is it that tens Of thou
sands of men are rushing to the new ter
ritory about to be opened upP Is it on
account of such great volume Of
money in this new territory, and the
greater amount Of money will guarantee
to the workers higher wages than else
where? Or is it because there is so much
money in circulation that interest for the
use Of capital will be lower than any
other place? Is it because there will be
NO taxes to be paid, or is the land more
fertile or the climate more healthful? Or
is it because all other lsndsin the United
States are in actual use? None Of these
are the inducements that are enticing
men to this new territory; for capital
will be scarce and interest high; taxes
must be paid, school houses built, roads
made and bridges constructed; the
climate not 30 heslthful or congenisl, or
the soil as rich as that of Kansas. Yet,
while we have 100000 acres of Guilt
vRted land in Kansas, the lsborers pass
over it, and away from it; away from
school houses, churches, roads and
bridges, and brave the privations and
destitution of new country for the
sole reason that land ls cheap, or rent is
low. Consequently wages will be high,
though there is little money in circula-
ton; for the lsborer will get the whole
product of his labor; he will not have to
pay two bushels out of five for rent,
thereby reducing his wages 40 per cent.
The farmers and miners may be fools in
some things, but they do not have to be
professors of Political economy to know
that rent paid for the use of bare land
must be paid like all other debts are
paid, by the products of labor and not by
money; and the rent comes out Of and
reduces their wages to the amount OF the

Mr.. Davis further states: "Plenty Of
money causes rising prices" AS inven-
tion increases the power Of labor to pro-
duce in some lines ten fold, others loo,
and in others 1000, can we increase the
volume Of money so as to keep prices
uniform? Is the reason that hog pro-
ducts are nearly double in price to what
it was one year ago, on account Of in
creasing the amount Of money? Or is it
contraction Of the currency the cause Of
wheat being less valuable or lower in
price than it was year ago? That the
amount of money in circulation tends to
lower or raise prices, is like the current
doctrine of political economy, endorsed
by the very highest names among the
professors: "ThRt wages or the value Of
days labor are fixed by the ratio be-
tween the number Of laborers and the
amount of capital devoted to the employ
ment of labor; that wages tend lower or
higher, or days labor is more valuable
or less valuable, as the amount Of capi-
tai left to employ labor increased or de-
creased" This doctrine of the wage
fund theory held undisputed sway in
English aid American universities, and
is laid down in text books which aim at
teaching political economy. Or, like the
theory that protective tariff raises wages
and aids il the production of wealth,
the many advocated and some really be-
lieved it a truth, without inquiring;
What is the cause Of wages, or what is it
that produces wealth?
1t is only in recent years, and since po-
liticsl economy has been taken outside
Of "the dismal science" that the wage
fund and the protective tariff theory has
been set aside as illogical and false. So
will the doctrine that prices rise and fall
with the increase or decrease of the vol
ume of money. For who will affirm that
the country having the largest Rmout of
money per capita pays higher prices than
the country having the smallest amount
Of money per capita?
"Would issuing more money and
lowering the rate Of interest in Ireland
benefit the Irishman?" Mr.. Davis an
swers: "It the monetary obligations of
Irishmen for rents, tithes and taxes re.
NAMED fixed, then the increase Of money
and rising prices would benefit the Irish
man. But if reEts and taxes increased
exactly as prices increased, his condition
would remain the same" Mr.. Davis
knows as we'll as he knows anything that
rents would 60 up if anything did, and if
the English government abolished the
collection of all taxes from Ireland, it
would simply enable the landlord to col
lect more rent, while the Irish tenant,
the man producing the wealth, would
get the same miserable poor living. Like
cheerful inducements do we more
money -the-cure- for -social-ills offer to 49,
100000 landless, free (P) Americans.
Mr.. Davis illustrates with: "a me-
chanic owes $1,000 on his home. With

the words "value" and "price," synony-
nous terms, in an article, "Meney is Not
Wealth" published in your excellent pa
per of February s, holding that such use
of the words "value" and "price" are
misleading.
The major part of the criticism / had
read in the April arena OF 1892, and
from other papers of his, know fairly
well his views on the social question, es-
pecially the financial part. In writing or
speaking, it seems Important to use
words in common use, and construct
sentences 80 as to convey the idea or
thought intelligently to the reader or
hearer. The common use OF worth,
value and price, in dictionary sense,
are interchangeable. We speak OF a
worthy man for good acts he has done; q
valuable book for the amount Of knowl-
edge contained in it, or the amount OF
labor expended on it, or because OF it be-
ing the only one Of its kind in existence;
a priceless woman, not because she is
worth 30 much in commoditiesor money,
but Of the fact that she possesses all the
attributes of a good woman. So when
we speak Of the value Of some things, we
say they are worth so much, or the price
is 80 much. Yet these terms convey
different meaning, when we say the
ocean is worth much to man, the value
Of sunlight and air can not be estimated.
Man cannot express thought unless he
has language to think in; man cannot
express values unless he has some term
to express them in; and the money OF
account now used the world over is the
only term by which prices or values are
estimated. Hence, when wheat is worth
so cents q bushel in our money OF sc-
count, we say it is not as valuable as
when worth dollar. Strictly speaking,
values do not attach to things on ac-
count of their utility or intrinsic worth,
for air and sunlight are beyond price, yet
have no value. Gold is more valuable
than iron, though the utility of iroE is
the greater. Nor do we find that values
or prices attach to things on account Of
q greater or less amount of money in cir
culation.
Mr.. Davis states: "When money is
plenty, commodities have high none
tary value. When money is scarce, COM
modities have small monetary value"
My friend here states general principle
which, il true, is true in all places, is
true the world over. When we 90 into a
new country, just opening up to settle
ment, we find little money, and commod-
tiles high; at the same time, il we go
where population is the most dense, and
money in the greatest volume, we find
commodities of the lowest monetary
value; while * we go into new and rich
gold diggings we will find some COM
modlties with very high monetary
values. We must admit there is more
money in the state of New York in pro.
portion to population than there is in
Kansas. Yet, some commodities have a
much lower monetary value in New York
than in Kansas, while the converse is
true as regards some things in Kansas.
While Mr.. Davis states that the $40 per
capita in the United States, $24 in Eng
land, and s4S in France is only "esti-
mated" and which 1 hold should
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-05-10

ceeds to tell us that we use more checks
and drafts than they do in France; and
that the earnings Of the large peasant
population, the middle and poorer
classes-the men who produce the wealth
arc so small from day to day, and week
to week, the disposition is to cling to the
money instead Of any form Of private
credit. Would it be proper to ask: Is
not keeping the money Of the country in
circulation among the people and in
their pockets, instead of in bank vaults,
what we are asking for to-day? That is,
in country having at least double or
treble, and, according to some reform
speakers, four times as much money IN
circulation as we have; the earnings Of
the peasant, the middle and poorer
classes, are 30 small, that is, the value Of
days labor is so little, it is 80 hard for
these wealth producers to live, the ten
dency is to carry the money in their
pockets. If this is a fair statement from
Mr.. Davis and myself, what inducements
do we offer to the 100000 Of wealth
producers Of our country, who have moth
ing on earth but their labor to sell, IN Of
ferinR them as solution of the labor
question, in adjusting the differences be-
tween the house Of haze and the house Of
pOGnt, the increasing Of the circulating
medium of exchange? And | state now,
without the least fear Of successful con.
tradiction, that France may increase her
circulation to 500 or 5000 per capita, and
the earnings of the peasants, the middle
and poorer classes would still be so small
as only to enable them to exc out poor
existence. What better can we predict
in this country? That values or prices,
as estimated by our money Of account,
rise and fall, have at no time ventured
to contradict; but that increasing the
amount of money increases prices, do.
For by what legislative legerdemaln, by
what act or cunning contriVance, what
circuitous or straightforward procedure
can we take that will raise prices 10 per
cent higher in the United States than
they are in the markets Of the worldP
But there is a true cause for low or
high values or prices; it is true in one
place as in another. The high or low
value Of things depends on whether they
are hard or easy to get; whether they re-
quire much or little labor to bring them
to the place of consumption or use. So,
Mr.. Davis man on an uninhsbited is
land, using a silver nugget to crack nuts,
and a piece Of ivory to dig roots, finds
them of little value, as it required little
labor to secure them; but when taken by
q ship to where such things were scarce,
he found they would sell or exchange for
spades and hammers that were of more
value for cracking nuts and digging
roots. Yet the value attaching to the
nugget of silver and piece of ivory would
not depend on the amount Of money in
circul, tion, but on the al cunt of labor
required to reproduce or bring the same
amount of silver and ivory to that place
where the sale or exchange was made.
That given weight Of diamonds is
more valuable than gold, silver or iron,
depends not ON the amount Of money in
circulation, but from the real fact that it
requires more labor to secure them. Not
