Money and Its Uses.

In the last article we treated of
money of final payment-of the money
that completely settles an obligation.
In this article it is proposed to treat of
credit money, or money that does not
finally settle an obligation; and, also,
among other matters, to show the evils
attending an insufficient supply of the
money of final account. If you will
take the trouble to look carefully at a
five-dollar bill you will see, if it be a
treasury note, that it is a promise on
the part of the government to pay the
bearer five dollars. The fve-dollar
national bank note is only a promise
on the part of a banking institution to
pay it with the governments promise
to pay-in other words, with green
backs.
The five-dollar silver certificate is a
promise on the part of the government
to pay the bearer five silver dollars.
Thus it is seen that our paper money
is simply credit money. To illus
trate: When you pay Whitworth Sons
or Captain Byers five-dollar bill. you
have not discharged the debt. If it
be treasury note you have simply
given an accepted order on the gov
eminent for the money. Instead of
your owing the merchant the sum in
dictated. the government owes it to him.
II you pay him five-dollar National
bank note the National bank owes him
Eve dollars in greenbacks. and when
the bank pays him the government
then owes him five dollars in money.
The promises OF the government are
accepted by every one because of the
confidence felt in its ability and will
ingness to meet its obligations. Thus
we see that paper money. which with
us is synonymous with credit money,
is, as Mr.. Harvey demonstrates, a
medium of exchange, but not a meas
ure of value.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1895-06-27

Let US examine, for a moment, the
proposition that money of final account
is measure of value, and how any
shortage in the supply affects values.
Money of final account is commOd-
ity which every one wants. because OF
the ease with which it is converted in
to other kinds of property.
People who have a surplus of COM
modities usually prefer to buy money
with them. When a merchant sells a
pound of coffee for twenty-five cents he
buys the twenty-five cents. the same
as the customer buys the coffee and
sells the quarter. 1t is clear that if
money is commodity it is governed
by the same laws that govern other
commodities. 1t is a law of trade that
if the supply of a given article is small
and the demand large, the price of it
will be comparatively high, and con-
versely if the supply be large and the
demand small, the price will be low.
Now, money being a commodity nee
essary to every man, and being the
medium of exchange under our laws,
it follows that if the supply of it is
small people will be compelled to part
with more and more of their property
to obtain enough for their necessities
the farmer being compelled to pay
more wheat and corn to buy dollars with
which to pay his debts than if the sup
ply was ample. If the supply of mon
ey is large. people will have to pay
less of their property for the money
they need; hence. an ample money
supply means high prices. Ii the sup
ply of money can be cornered, prices
can be depressed or elevated at the
will of those in charge of the corner.
Thus it is plain that money is meas
ure of value, being the common de-
nOminator to which all property is re-
duced. One of the great requisites of
money is, that it shall be absolutely
stable, so that if man contract to
pay hundred dollars in Six months
from date, which hundred bushels of
his wheat will buy to-day, he will not
have to buy his hundred dollars with a
hundred and fifty bushels of wheat
when his debt becomes due.
In the present fight for free coinage,
all of the foregoing propositions have
been alternately affirmed and denied,
as the exegencies of argument have
dictated, by Mr.. Carlisle and those
who aid him in foisting upon US the
single gold standard. The one object
OF the single standard men is to en-
nance the value of money; the result
of this is a depression in the price of
every commodity except that which
they control. 1t is easier to corner
gold than gold aud silver. and this is
al there is to the agitation for the
single gold standard.

it seems that the State Central Com
mittee is to be the party's papa, and
tell it what is good for it; and when
the party wants something these gen
tlemen don't think it ought to have,
to quietly place it out of its reach.
as the fond mother puts the preserves
on the top shelf of the pantry to pre-
vent baby from getting at them. for
fear it would eat too much and hurt
itself. Yet these same men will talk
your arm off about harmony and pa
ternalism. They want harmony. but
the instant they find they are not to
have their way they will threaten to
bolt, and if they do not so have no hes
itancy about knitting any candidate dis
tasteful to them. The harm done the
party by these men is incalculable.
The victory of 1892 was won upon the
party's pledge to inaugurate
thoroughgoing system of Tariff Re-
form, at least. That victory gave
Democrats complete control of both
branches of Congress and the Execu-
tive What was the result? A revis-
ed Mckinley bill that its authors
blushed for. Who stood in the way of
Tariff Reform? The same class of men
who now oppose Financial Reform.
The party has been advocating Free
Coinage for the last quarter of a centu-
ry. There is no doubt that if this ques-
ton was submitted by itself to the peo-
pie of the United States. that it would
carry by an overwhelming majority.
Suppose we endorse Mr.. Cleveland-go
back to the tariff platform of 1854. as
he wanted us to do in the National
Convention of 1892. and reverse the
traditions of the party and declare for
the single gold standard? We will not
carry half dozen states In 1896.
As it is. people whose instincts are
Democratic hesitate to trust us. They
say to US, s.Your leaders have not car
ried out your platform pledges upon
either the tariff or silver question.
Why should we change our present
party affiliations? What assurance can
you give that you will act in better
faith in '97 than you did in 1882" As
to the Tariff question, We can say that
German Brice, Hill and others betray-
&c MS, but the reply to this is complete
and crushing: '.Gorman is still a
Democrat in good standing in the
state of Maryland; Hill is in the same
position in New York; and Briee has
control of the Democratic machine 10
Ohio. No Democrats party standing
seems to have been affected by his ac-
tion upon either the tariff or silver
question"
We are In the most ridiculous posi-
ton great party ever occupied. No
one believes our professions. We do
not know ourselves what principle we
will change or abandon ut any time.
