According to Definition of the Secretary
of the PennsylvAnis League.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. &c. Stuart
Patterson, chairman of the executive
committee of the Pennsylvania Sound
Money league, in reply to request for
adefnition of the phrase, sound money!
today said: ''Sound money is
of only one of two posi-
bic kinds: First = That whose
market value as commodity is equiva-
lent toits face value as money; or second,
that which is Representative in its char
acter and having little or no market
value as d commodity, is inconvertibie
at par into money of the first kind.
1t is obvious that within the terms of
this definition gold alone is sound money
of the first kind"
