The New York papers are claiming
that Gotham is more strongly opposed to
drunkenness than any other city in the
world. The moral consolation of this
assurance is somewhat impaired from
the fact that the sobriety claimed for

of the leading saloons of shutting off a
mans groS when it becomes apparent
that he is getting too many sails in the
wind. OF course he takes on the balance
of his cargo ut any accessible port, and
the stand made for sobIIety under this
system does not amount to much. There
may be something in the claim that the
outsiders who visit New York do most
of the drinking, bat Gothamites abroad
indicate by their habits that home con
sumption has good deal to do with the
prosperity of saloon keepers in the me
tropolis. -Detroit Free Press.

his own sons, preferring to earn his nv

No INTRINSIC VALVE IN MONEY.

niQhtsd understanding of the Ameri-
can people that money cannot have

They know very well there is no

about il tends to deafen the public

ing the truth.
To show the utter and absolute
lunacy Of this intrinsic value idea,
let us suppose a case. Suppose (1)
that the next congress shall make 1t
capital crime to melt or otherwise
convert the coin of the country into
bullion, or export it to other nations.
(2) Suppose now il be determined
% use some Of the more valuable
metals as we'll as gold and silver; in

pose that the amount of the metal
selected that shall be converted into
the coined dollar is worth IS as an
article Of commerce. After it re-
ceives the stamp Of the government
authority declaring it to be dollar,
ID anyone foolish enough to suppose
that such a dollar will buy any more
Of any product than a gold or silver
dollar? rs it not clear that the con-
version OF the metal into money at
once takes from it it's commercial
value, or more correctly speaking Its
market price, and imparts to it
new value "a purely legal One-and
that il can possess no other than this
legal value 80 long as it remains
money? No material eau perform

an article Of commerce and ceases t,
be money. The money value an,
ths commercial value cannot both at
tach 10 it at the same time.
10 make this still clearer let it b,
remembered that, aside from tn
fictitious value imported to gold, fol
instance. by It's universal use a
money, its real value as an article 0
commerce depends upon the use t
which il may be converted in tn
arts. But so long as it remain
money il cannot be conveated to an
such use. Gold coin can only t

is ready to begin; that, on viewing the
object she desires, she may be animated
