INTRINSIC VALUE.

The Value of Gold Il Fictitious and A rbf.
trary and Impaired by Fiat of Law.
The following inquiry comes from E.
A. Mcpherson, of Pioneer, Tex:
''Win you answer the following
through the columns of the Advance,
Having two Jumps Of gold OF the same
weight and fnenessi one lump costing
as much again to produce as the other,
has one lump more intrinsic value than
the other? If not, why not?"
The word intrinsic as qualifying
value is recognized by advanced think
ers as misnomer. There is no such
thing as intrinsic value. The prime
value of anything is the cost of pro-
duction, labor being the leading ele-
ment in fixing such value. Anything
that sells for more than the cost of
production and delivery to market
may be said to have a fictitious value.
If natural laws are not interfered with
the. value of everything will adjust
itself to the cost Of production. No
matter of what material the article
may be composed its value must come
in obedience to the cost of labor re-
CARELESS of supply and demand.
This is proposition of economics
that those who have not studied the
science of economy may not readily
comprehend, yet it as true as an I'M
demonstrated problem in mathematics.
Minerals must take their place with
all other products of labor and receive
their true value from the cost of pro-
duction. One mine may yield metal
amounts to nothing I'm the regulation
and adjustment of the value of mineral
based on the general cost of production.
These matters readily adjust them
selves.
Gold, however, has a value fixed by
law, and is to that extent, being a
money metal, lifted beyond the plane
of production. The law says 23.2
grains of gold shall be money unit
called dollar. The power of the law
prevents 1872 grains of pure gold from
being worth more or less than a dollar,
regardless of the cost of production.
Mr.. MePherson's question can be
answered III this wayi These two
chunks of gold have no intrinsic value.
The metal of which they are composed
has commercial value wholly subject
to the cost of production for its rating
if not money metal, and if adopted as
a money metal the law fixes the value
in defiance of the cost of production.
AS gold enjoys the right of free coin
age, 23.2 grains of gold is worth dol
lar and will not sell for more in the
market if it cost So to produce it, and
it would sell for that sum if it only
cost so cents to produce it. AS the value
of gold is fixed by law. Mr.. McPherson's
two chunks of gold are of precisely the
same value, regardless of the cost OF
production Advance.

Common Mistakes Made in Placing the

Common Mistakes Made in Placing the
Accent and as to yowels.
Why should so many persons say
spontanighity instead of spontaneeity
There is no excuse for saying apricot
for apricot, or eck-quable for &C.
quable, or ERIN for Erin, or asafid-
ity for asafetida, or Ven-zu-ee-la for
Venezuela. Or Adon-is Short o. for
Ado-nis Gong o., or Dian-na for Diana
Gong az, or mat-tron or PATRON,
and SO on. 1t is just as easy to ac-
cent the last syllable as the first in
''pretense." Some persons call bomb
''boom" instead of ''bum,'' because the
spelling seems to warrant it, but when
they call tedious ''tejus" they have no
such apparent warrant. In the west
and south the So in isolate is made long
and nearly everywhere educated per-
sons say truck-u-lent for true-cu-lent,
a-men-able for a-meen-able, LEVER for
lee-ver, and give the sound of ''u'' in
up instead of ''i'' in it in such words as
squirrel, stirrup and strip. There are
many words in which the accent is per-
sistently misplaced by persons who
know better. 1t is common to put the
accent on the second syllable of per-
emptory instead of on the first, on
the first instead of the second syl-
liable of coquctry, on the second in
stead of the first syllable of exemplary,
etc. Many place the accent on the
first instead of the second syllable of in
quiry and do not give the ''i'' its proper
length. The accent on gladiolus should
be on the second syllable, with a long
81 bat many place it on the third.
They say hymeen-e-al, with the accent
On the ''meen," when it should be hy-
mee-ne-al. with the accent on the ''nee. :"
The exasperating thing about it is that
some of these persons who are SO care

wonder. Her garments were soiled and
torn as if by contact with the bushes.
But in spite of her somewhat haggard
face, she was singularly beautiful,
"Some invalid who has got astray,"
said Mrs. Hendricks with pity.
The girl raised herself on her elbow
and stared at the place and the people
until her eyes rested on Hendricks, and
then in a soft, clear voice, she said:

Then she broke down and sobbed
piteously.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hendricks walked apart.
"This is revelation" said Hen

Mrs. Hendricks did not understand
the full significance of his words-but
the young woman was conveyed to a
comfortable room and all the resources
of the establishment used to soothe and
reassure her. She remained, however,
taciturn and heart-broken for two
days. All efforts to make her eat or
converse were Of little avail. On the
third day, it was reported that she was
dying. Hendricks saw her in COM

called her somnambulist. This
