A curious argument for the destruc-
ton OF our present sound financial
system is the statement that if all the
gold money in the world were melted
in the form of a cube, it would be only
twenty-five feet in diameter. Sup
pose this estimate is correct, what
does it prove? Nothing more than
that gold represents a great deal of
value in very small compass. Accord
ing to silverite reasoning the pro-
ducer of pig iron should complain of
the small bulk of the worlds stock of
silver as compared with its iron, and
demand the free coinage of his more
abundant metal.

A Valuable Document.

The New York Reform Club has JUS
issued as No. II of its Sound Currency
series careful compendium of the
coinage and currency legislation oil
the United States from 1902 down to
the present time. The work covers
three distinct tields-laws relating to
coinage, Government currency. and
bank currency respectively-and in
this pamphlet of forty-eight pages il
contained the full text of all import
ant Federal legislation upon these
subjects.
The whole is carefully annotated
and provided with a comprehensive
summary OF the coinage provisions
and an index. The result is a COM
pendulum vastly superior for the pur.
poses which it is designed to serve to
the bulky compilations issued from
the Government Printing Office, which
have heretofore been almost the only
source of such information.
This document will enable every one
to see for himself whether the asser-
tons OF the cheap money advocates in
regard to currency legislation are true
or mere inventions. The price of this
number is five cents.
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-08-10

The pretense that this country could
by adopting free coinage at 16 to l
force the rest of the world into an in
ternational agreement to coin silver
at that ration, is only blind for the
schemes of the silver standard advo-
Gates. The gradual adoption of all
the progressive and enlightened Ma
tions of the single gold standard was
due to their conviction that the COM
mercisl value of silver could not be
maintained at its coinage ratio to gold.
After deliberately abandoning silver
because of their belief in the superior.
ity of gold, it is hardly probable that
the gold using countries would now
go back to their rejected standard.

Silver Dollars on St0ra re.

The following from the PhiladeI.
phla Times is excellent mental food
for our free and unlimited coinage
friends:
"A count just taken shows that
there are now stored in the vaults of
the United States Mint in this CITY
40, 1853, 367-in round numbers, So
900, OOO-of silver dollars. They are
packed away just as they were coined
and all efforts to get them in circula-
ton have been futile. The people
do not want them. They are will
ing to take the paper certificates issued
to represent them, because these are
interchangeable with greenbacks and
greenbacks are redeemable in gold;
but the silver dollars themselve, the
Government has to keep, issuing in
their stead what is practically a gold
currency of twice their value"

Our Monetary Needs.

"What our people need is good
credit. good money, good principles
and sound business sense. Visionary
schemes and debased money never yet
made Nation prosperous. The quail
ity OF the money used in any country
is far more important than the guam
tity. The laws should be drawn to
protect the men who earn money. A
man who works faithfully and lives on
his daily earnings should never be
sacrificed for the benefit of men who
live on what they borrow. Hon. r.
G. Horr.
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-08-10

To repeated requests by the advo-
Gates of the gold standard that the
free coinage agitators should furnish
some proof OF their assertion that
there is not gold enough in the world
to serve as standard of value, the
silverites have given no reply. They
have not proved their claim of scar
city of gold, because they do not know
to what extent the use of credit
money is doing away with the neces-
sity of gold coin. Under a proper
banking and system of paper currency
there is no doubt but that there is far
more gold in the world than can be
protitably used as money.

Queer Money.

Here is an amusing ecount of @
traveller who went many years ago to
Mexico. and found the natives using a
strange kind of currency. Says he:
"In one of the small towns thought
some lines, and gave the girl 81 in
payment. BY way of change she re-
turned me forty nine pieces of soap
the size of small biscuit. I looked
at her in establishment, and she re-
turned my look with equal surprise,
when police officer, who had wit
messed the incident, fastened to in
form me that for small sums soap was
legal tender in many portions of the
country.
II examined my change, and found
that each cake was stamped with the
name of the town and of manufac-
ture authorized by the Government.
The cakes of soap were worth three
farthings each. Afterward, in my
travel, 1 frequently received similar
change. Many of the cakes showed
signs of having been in the washtub,
but that. discovered, was not at all
Provided the stamp was
not obliterated. the soap did not lose
any value as currency. Occasionally
a man would borrow a cake from a
friend. wash his hands, and return it
with thanks. I made use of my pieces
more than once in my bath, and SUBJ
spent them. "-Harper's
Round Table.

increasing Prices by Reducing the
Dollar.

The free and unlimited coinage O
SILVER would not secure for the use O.
the people at any time any addition tc
their stock of actual money, but would
SIMPLY give them less valuable money
Than they have now. To call ten.
cent piece dollar and declare it to be
.ne standard of value would add moth
ing whatever to its purchasing power
IL would still require ten of them to
purchase what real dollar will pur-
chase now, and prices of commodities
expressed in dollars would appear 20
nave been increased ten-fold, when, in
lact' nothing would have happened ex-
cept the debasement of the dollar. An
sctual increase in prices resulting
rom an increase in the volume of
sound money in circulation is quite
inherent thing from a nominal in
crease OF prices resulting from the use
ol q deprecated currency, and no ar
sument upon the subject of prices can
~ sound that does not recognize the
between them. The prop
osition OF our free coinage friends is
70 double prices nominaliy, but at the
same time to have them paid in money
worth only one-half as
ihucn as 1t was before the prices were
uouoied, and confess my inability to
Sse now this would help ANYBODY, -
