VALUE OF GOLD.
The Intrinsic Value Faliacy Shown Up in &
Very Few Words.

The Intrinsic Value FaIiacy Shown Up in q
Very Few Words.
If the statistics furnished by Our
treasury are reliable, there is only So,
GOO, 900, 900 of gold coin in the world.
.No@; suppose the leading nations
should demonetize gold as they demon
cited silver? Suppose they should de-
clare that after October 1st gold should
cease to be legal tender, and that no
more should be coined at the mints? A
writer in the New York Recorder says.
in answer to these questions:
Creditors would not accept it as
coin in payment of debts. Government
would not take it for customs dues or
otherwise. AS bullion. the minis
would not receive it for coinage. What,
then, would be the price of gold? How
would it be measured?
The answer is plain. 1t would then
have commodity value, depending on
the cost of its production and the
amount of demand for it for use in the
arts.
Not much over 3.OOO,O 900 ounces OF
gold is annually called for for use in
the arts. Against this demand there
would be the entire existing gold coin
age of the world-1sO, O0O,O 900 ounces.
The supply from that source alone
gold coin in stock. needing not to be
mined or produced at any cost, high or
low-would be equal to the entire de-
mand for sixty years to come"
1t is impossible to refute these con-
illusions. All the talk about the in
trinsic value of gold would amount to
nothing if it was demonetiZed.
These propositions are worth all the
study that the anti-silver men can give
them 1t is impossible to consider them
without recognizing the influence and
the power of what some people call the
fat of the overnment.-Atlanta Con-
StitutiOn

charges of forgery and the embezzle-
ment of SOL ,257 committed in 1878 and
1879. The arrest is the result of a
search which has occupied the atten-
ton of the United States secret service
for over thirteen years. Howgate, who
organized an Arctic expedition in 1878,
was arrested in 1880 in Washington on
the charge OF embezzlement. He after
wards obtained permission from Judge
Wylie to visit his home with a bailiff.
He escaped through a window and had

The reported plan of Mexico to unite
all the Central American states in one
great republic was doubted at the Next
can legation ut Washington. The re-
port stated that Gen. Ezeta's visit to
Mexico was part of a plan for the ex-
tension of the new republic from Texas
to the isthmus of Panama, and it was
added that all the states save Guate-
mala favored the union. It was said,
however, by the Mexican authorities
at Washington that they had never
heard such plan suggested in Mexico,
and that no negotiations to that end
had ever been made among the Central
American states.
