A FALSE IDEA ABOUT MONEY,

North Mississippi Democrat.
"When you reduce the volume OF
primary money, you reduce the value
Of property as expressed in dollars
Coins Financial School.
AS the above item has been going
the grand rounds OF the silver-bug
press we stop just long enough to
puncture it and let the wind out of it.
II the value Of property as expressed
In dollars Is reduced as the volume of
primary money is reduced, the con-
verse OF the proposition must be true,
that as you increase the volume OF
primary money, you likewise increase
the value Of property as expressed in
dollars. Then, how is it that the
value Of property in this country, as
expressed In dollars, has increased at
more than five times the ratio Of the
increase Of primary money! How Is
it that in France, which has two and
a half times the per capita circulation
OF England, that the prices OF the
great staples are approximately the
same? Right here, let us say, is the
error which all the silverites seem to
fall into, and which consequently be-
fogs all their attemps to nationally
handle the money question. Money
Is not the basis Of value, and never
was; 1t Is only measure Of value
which exists in cotton, wheat, wool,
iron, lands, silver, copper and thor-
sand other things which administer to
the wants Of man. Money Is no more
the basis Of value than the yard stick
is the basis Of cloth or pound weight
is the basis Of sugar. The value Of
any commodity rests upon Its utility
and is controlled by the amount of
labor its takes to produce 1t. The
credits Of country are based upon
the property OF the cOantry. The
debts Of a country are paid In its
commodities, the products OF the soil
and the handicraft Of its people.
Money is the measure Of the value Of
these products and isa convenience
for their Interchange. Properties now
are cheaper not because their Ia less
money, for that Is not true, but be-
cause it takes less labor to produce
them than It did when they were
valued as a basis Of credit. This is the
essence OF the whole money contr0v.
ersy, and effectnally sets TO rest the
old chestnut that the low prices Of
products are due to q scarcity Of
money.

Being Fooled.

That stannch and able advocate of
sound money and true Democracy,
the Natchez Democrat, relates the
following instance Of the idiocy that
controls and influences the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at Is to /.
Truly the free silver argument is more
absurd yet more potent with the ig
nOrant than was that of "forty acres
and mule" with "thc wards" of the
nation in the reconstruction era:
This craze reminds us Of the forty acres
groes in the days OF the carpet-bag regime to
secure their support Of the Republican par
ty; the demagOuges are promising free sill
yer just about upon the same terms, and
unthinking and uniformed into putting
them into office upon the theory that they
will be able to make money more plentiful,
and put money into the pockets OF the mas
ses without their working for it, or having
something TO barter and sell that will bring
the money to them.
AS an illustration OF this we have been told
by gentleman who is at present conducting
Office, that up In Attalacounty the other day
he was talking to one Of the old farmers, and
asked him how he stood on the currency
question. Che reply Of the old man was that
| he had been told that IL there was free COIN
age there would he fifty dollars per capita
| for everybody In the United States; that he
had eleven children In bis family, and under
such prOrate he would be entitled to $3.50.
He never stopped To think that he would be
compelled to have some commodity to bar
ter Or exchange for this amount. but appa-
rently thought II free and unlimited COIN
age was brought abOut-"Uncle Sam" would
charter the express lines and send him down
his money In new. bright shining silver dol
lars without the least delay.
| This is about as deep as most Of the masses
Of the free silverites 80 into the question,
and the preachers OF that dangerous, false
and pernicious doctrine never try 70 educate
| them any further either. IL We have free
coinage. dollars will have to be worked and
striven for just us hard and industriOusly as
at present, and what will be great draw
back and disadvantage Is that they will
have only half the purchasing power o dol
lar now has. There can be no possible ad-
vantage In q cheap currency, but ON the
other hand there IL every disad vantage, and
| this fact will be ascertained 70 the sorrow of
every man, woman and child In the country
II the ignus fatus Of free silver shall ever be
adopted.

MISSISSIPPI, FRIDAY, MAY "A, 1895.
OUR SOUTHERN GIRL.

Recited at the Mississippi Press Association,

Recited at the Mississippi Press Associat
Biloxi, May 10, 1896.
Greeting. gracious, gallant Pressmen!
'Tis plea, tonight, bring
From the fullness Of my feelings
OF our Southern Girl I'd sing;
From the realms of Truth and Glory,
With their rich and radiant flowers,
4 wreath I'd Gull and crown her
This Southern Girl of ours.
Waken Soul and let me paint her
Paint her picture with my pen,
Even as l sometimes see her
In the mazv walks Of men:
'Tis face all pink and dimpled-
A cameo set in curls,
With ewes the brightest, shyest-
One of our Southern Girls.
She's well poised, queenly creature
As she moves to tune and time,
Aud graceful as the lily
OF her own soft kissed cline.
With an air half pride, halfp fpathos,
a voice like brO0kets purl,
With WAYS that haunt and hold one
Our gracious Southern Girl.
Hers heart as pure as star-gleam
And fresh as heavenly flowers
Whose fragrant pearly petals
Mark the ages-not the hours;
'Tis a heart sweet tuned, responsive,
A heart that throbs and thrills
With the tendcrest emotions
A Southern bosom fills.
Hers the mind for plan and action,
Hers the will to dare and do,
Hers the courage of conviction,
Hers the soul of all that's true.
On the page of art and science
Her bright-winged thoughts mfurl,
Keeping mental pace with masters
Our brainy Southern Girl.
Duty calls and soft she cometh,
Not, o men, to take your place;
Not unmaidcnlv and mannish
Would our girl with you keep pace
Not her wish to rule or rob you
Nor one right to take away,
But she needs to work as men do,
And, AS MEN to win her pay.
Hers sire We loved and honorcd--
AS We batiled side by side;
Brave was he and kind and cour.lv
With the high-born Southron's pride,
And o-day his proud -sonled daughter
Trusts to ye--her fathers friend
For the same chivalric honor
Ye gave him to the end
Then, o help her, noble pressmcn-
Ye of Gods best OF men
Come, help her with your wisdom,
And help her with your pen;
And perchance some wintry morning,
When your hopes lie dumb and dead,
When yonr life seems all reverses,
She'll give to YOU instead.
Then, o aid her in her Efforts
Ward off the rude and rough
And kindly smooth and soften
The road is hard enough,
In the shop, the store, the Office,
The printing rooms mad whrl,
Stand by and guide and guard her
Our brave s0ulcd Southern Girl.
God bless her proud endeavor
To do a strong mans part,
To work her hard way upward
God bless her pluckv heart!
We t0ndlv watch her footsteps
| ThrO' all life's busy whirl,
And ever pray, God bless her
| Our own, sweet Southern Girl.

A NARROW ESCAPE
From Disastrous Fire at Caribou, Monday
Night.

Caribou, Me-, Sept. 25.-(Special. y
Caribou had a narrow escape from dis
astrous fire, Monday night, by the timely
discovery of blaze at the Holmes starch
factory. The wind was blowing gale
in the direction of the potato ware houses
and the B. 81 A. depot when the alarm
was given, and had the fire gained much
Roadway it would have been impossible
to control it, and the destruction of these
buildings would have been inevitable
The town is threatened with q water
famine. Caribou has an excellent and
almost infallible water supply, but the
lack of rain, and the hot weather of tie
past few days have dried up the water and
rendered it impure. The board of health
have recommended that the use of the
wafer from the pipes for drinking pur-
poses be discontinued. The water is too
warm to clarity starch properly, and the
starch factories have given notice that no
more potatoes will be received at present
The river is very low-nearly a foot be
low the dam at Presque Isle, and IT is
feared that water power will fail and in
dustries suffer severely.
There are reports OF extensive forest
fires to the north and west, and the air is
impregnated with the smell of burning
pine. Objects half mile distant can
scarcely be distinguished in the smoky
haze that envelopes the town. Aroostook
county is as dry as tinder-box, and
much destruction of property must ensue
unless rain soon relieves the situation.
Mr.. Will Hall has returned from
Houlton, where he has been attending
court for a few days.
