MONEY.
To the Age-Herald:

To the Age-Herald:
 Money has three uses-a medium of ex- change, an aid in the production of wealth ;, measure of value and standard of de- ferred payment.
 Many things have been used as money, but some have been more successful than others.
 Gold h as been found to be universally successful; silver partially so.
 The first essen tial quality of good money ls con idence. The stamps of all the Gov- ernments in the world could not force a money on the people in which they have no confidence.
 Another is stability of value. The in- debtedness of the people of the United States is estimated at S20, 900 ,000 ,000. A change of 10 per cent in tue value of dol lar would mean a loss of S2, ,000 ,000, ,000 to the creditor or 10 the debtor. The terms debtor and creditor are vague in meaning. You cannot draw line through society and arrapge the debtors on one side and the creditors on another. Most people regard the creditors as the rich and the debtors as tue poor, but greater part of the poor are iu the creditor class. All railroads and large business enterprises are debtors, while the thousand of laboring men are creditors. The workingmen of New England have over $1 ,000 ,000 ,000 in savings banks and over S100, ,0O0, 900 in building and loan associations. Any change in our currency that would lessen the purchasing power of dollar would not only rob the money lender, but would rob the laborer and the bank depositor. An honest dollar does not fiuctuate in value, but it is hard to find. The purchasing power of the dols' lar has increased 30 per cent within the last thirty years, and this proves that the, volume of money does not Increase with the demand, but there would be no gain in trying to readjust prices, because the men injured by the previous fall would not benefit from the reverse. To attempt to infiate our currency would be ,robbing Peter to pay Paul. HONEST DOLLAR. ).

New York Will Have q Bicycle Ball

The manager of one of the big public

sition for a bicycle ball to be held late

is carried out, will probably be a mas

clothes. The grand march will be on

pating, and it is probable that there will
be bicycle floats, club teams and 9th er
fancy exhibits. Afterward there will
be quadrilles and lancers on bicycles by
picked performers, followed by fancy
and trick riding. AT given hour wheels
and masks will be cast aside and the affair
resolv' itself into an ordinary public
masquerade ball. The promote believe
that such ball would be great drawing
card with the bicycle pu bile, and they
propose to encourage the attendance of
people with bicycles by charging a
smaller admission price than for those
without. The main question that is
vexing them at present is what arrange
ments are to be made for taking care of
such an immense mber of wheels

road will restore the amount due on
the salaries of the roads employees,
for last October, on accoun. of the 10
per cent. cut, when the salaries of the
employees were cut 10 per cent. About
a year ago an agreement was made
with the men that as soon as the earn
ings of the road for any month should
equal or exceed those of the cores
ponding month of the previous year
the 10 per cent. would be restored.
The 10 per cent. was restored on the
November salaries, and as the earn
ings of October, 1894, were greater
than those of the corresponding
month in 1898, the receivers agreed
that the employees were entitled to
the 10 per cent. for that month as
we'll, and all of them will get their
"excess" money in a few days.
