MORE FRIENDLY WARNING.

That excellent friend of the southern
people, the Philadelphia Times. utters
another note Of warning 10 US. In a
recent issue it says:
THE responsibility for the one SUI
preme danger to tariff reform Is solely
upon the South. II tariff reform shall
be defeated it will be because Of the
intrusion OF the odious income-tax fea-
ture that is demanded by the solid vote
Of the South. and If the tariff shall be
passed with the income tax retained,
both the tariff and the income tax will
surely be Overthrown by the next Con-
gress.
I'VE reflect the considerate judgment OF
the country when we say that no party can
survive that inaugurates an income tax
in time of peace. To persist In pressing
this unjust measure is simply political
madness. No substantial results can be
achieved. as even II enacted it will only
be TO assure the absolute overthrow Of
the measure and Of the party that enacted
it,"
And II Is now stated that the limit Is
TO be raised to 5000; that is, no income
of less than $500 is TO be taxed, which
makes the purpose TO burden accumulated
wealth all the more distinct. why should
our people tie themselves to this mea-
sure, so odious to all people Of the North,
Democrats or Republicans. who have been
fortunate enough to become possessors Of
wealth? DO they not perceive that they
are driving all the property owning ele-
ments Of the North into cooperation for

providing for our coinage II undervalued
silver. so that as fast as we coined IL IL
was exported as bullion. Consequently
in all the history OF the Government
prior TO 1872, IT had only coined eight
millions OF silver dollars, though 1t had
coined in that time about $500 100000 In
gold England then was on an exciu-
slvely gold basis from 1916 forward, and
this country was always on gold basis
without amy need whatever for silver
except as change The different coun-
tries OF Europe gradually came one after
the other 10 an exclusively gold basis
In obedience TO the same law OF trade
that recommended 1t to England, so
that now all the countries Of Europe are
on IL. This. then, IS the true history oil
how silver came to De demOnetized, and
the creditor class" played no other or
different part in bringing II about IMAM
the debtor class" played. 1t came about
through the common consent OF man
kind that, with modern banking faci1-
ties. gold furnished all the metallic money
that was needed, and silver, on account
Of It's bulk, was no longer suited 10 our
advanced civilization.
There is one sentence in Mr.. Porter's
letter which shows that he has the
same erroneous idea Of the consequence
Of legal tender" in money that all the
Populists have. The Populists thinks
that the value Of money comes from Its
being legal tender" In payment Of debt
and yet, if the quality Of legal tender
affects money at all. is is TO its disad-
vantage. A money is not effective in
performing its functions because q coer-
Give power forces an unwilling man to
take it who does not want It, The money
which truly performs the part Of money
IS that which the debtor receives as
willingly as the creditor parts with It,
Thorough, cordial consent to TeceiVin6
it is just as necessary to its being real
money, and truly performing the tunc-
lions of money as consent by both
parties to a marriage is necessary TO
cOntentment and happiness IN the futuTe
home. The only use OF the quality OF
legal tender in money is TO enable
debtor to end his obligation when he
holds one view Of what it IS, while
his creditor holds another. In such
case. if the debtor tenders legal tender
money in the amount which he really
owes he thereby performs his full duty
ana Is thereafter exempt from all obii-
CATION, except the obligation 70 be ready
to pay that sum whenever he may there
after he called on for It. Legal tender,
then. adds not one silver TO the value OF
money. It is useful only to enable dis
agreeing parties TO arrive at q basis Of
settlement. But the true value of money
comes from the willingness Of men to
take it when offered as that which it
purports TO be i'm exchange for other
valuable things that they have.

WHY ESGLASD ADOPTED GOLD
ALONE.


1t is not our purpose 10 reply 10 the
letter of Mr.. J. w. Porter. which we
brinted in Sundays Times. in a contro-
versial sense. but he said some things
On it about which the people ought 10
have correct ideas, and we cannot, there
fore, allow them TO pass in the mislead-
ding form as stated without few words
On explanation.
MIR. Porter asks "why was silver coin
age suspended?, And ne answers his
uuestion thus: 'The reason distinctly
eavowed in Europe was the apprehension
of the creditor classes that the COM
'bined production of the two metals would
auaise prices and cheaper money unless
aone of them was shorn Of the money
function"
Mr.. Porter is not at all singular in
entertaining this notion. 1t is common
10 all the advocates of free coinage yet
nothing Is more absolutely and demon
sirably untrue.
The demonstration Of silver commenced
NV an act passed by the English Parlia-
,ment in 1916. The act Itself states the
reason for its passage and this is mat
-'great inconvenience has arisen from
both those precious metals being con
currently the standard measure of value
and equivalent for property" This act
snade gold the money of account In
England, except for petty transactions
TO say that this act was passed at the
demand of the creditor classes to prevent
money continuing its old time power is
TO ignore totally the perfectly well known
conditions of the case. In 1916 there
Eas no creditor class" as now under

bare hundred years since English law
mad allowed assignments OF debts. There
sxere what amounted to no public obli-
cations Of any country, except the debt
of England. The steam engine and tele-
graph had not come into use, and there
were practically no bonds of private
or municipal corporations on public sale.
The debts OF that day were almost eX-
culsively private debts or the ordinary
DtllEatlOnS OF SpHilhtitSs AhtAS was
therefore. no creditor class as that
phrase is now understood. to feel alarm
about its rights. even IL the rights OF
creditors had been threatened, which they
were not. The reason why this act Of
the British Parliament was passed was
that England was the chief commercial
patton OF the world. and the immense
expansion OF modern commerce required
very large payments in the settlement of
balances and necessitated. therefore, the
use Of that metal which contained the
greatest value in the least bulk. This
necessity OF commerce had been power
fully aided by the great improvements
and Developments which lad even then
been made in banking which had pro-
,dded infinite substitutes for money that
made the actual handling Of cash to a
great extent unnecessary.
II was this that caused gold 70 be
used exclusively in England. At the
same time II had come to be exclusively
used In this country also. partly for the
same cause. but chiefly for another.
