Democratic Harmony.

Democratic harmony in Michigan is
a beautiful thing. The state conven-
ton averred the principle of democra-
cy to be free coinage of silver at l6
to |. The COURIER, the only demo-
cratic paper in the county, true to it's
cuckoo instincts, has howled itself
hoarse for such free coinage in
language similar to the following,
clipped from recent editorial:
"Any ratio of coinage of the pre-
cious metals into money that is not
based upon the proportion of their
product regardless of their bullion
price, will fall short of preserving
their parity. If there are mined in
the world thirty-two pounds of sill
YES to one of gold, on an average,
then IA ratio of 81 to /, would be safe
to adopt, but if the proportion be l6
to that is the ratio to adopt. Will
gold monometallists please tell us up
on what rests primarily the legal ratio
16 to /, for the coinage of the pre-
cious metals into money? Certainly it
is not their bullion price; for that
means "a constant fluctuation in their
so-called ''intrinsic value" cond,.
ton which all sound money ideas
seek to avoid"
The Detroit FREE PRESS, the state
organ of the party, says of our fore
fathers:
They did not consider our people
as content to eliminate the balance of
the world in solving the problem of
our development, trading and barter
ing among themselves, when the wav
to commercial supremacy among all
the nations of the earth lies before
them. They dealt with our national
obligations and probabilities; with
that laudable pride that seeks leader
ship in all that constitutes true ma.
tional greatness; with that integrity
which meets its obligations, upholds
honor and refuses by arbitrary decree
to make the mere stamp of govern
ment pay as much of "A just debt as
does the coin on which it is impressed
Upon sound financial policy de-
ponds all the blessings, all the grand
eur, all the prosperity which they
pictured as within the reach of tn,
American people"

squarely in twain on the money
question, in spite of the frantic
avowal of the state convention

campaign going. Before another
national election, the people will
understand the money question much
better than they do at the present
time, and we have no hesitancy in
asserting that the majority will, be-
fore the fall of 1896, occupy safe,
conservative middle ground, which
will give to the people a genuine
bimetallic currency, ample III guam
tity and stable in quality. In the con-
sideration of every great question,
extremists press to the front. In this
matter, the extremists on the one hand
are those who will have absolute free
coinage of silver at l6 To regardless
of whether gold is driven from the
country by such action or not; on the
other hand is the absolute single
standard goldite, who is unwilling to
admit that silver can be safe money
under any circumstances. 1t is graft
flying to see how many intelligent
voters are coming to occupy the
ground that they will not wor-
ship the ratio of l6 to /; that they
prefer to see the experiment at that
ratio, if it is to be tried, made one of
limited coinage; or, better yet, they
hope for an international agreement
In all matters of great economic
policy, it is wise 10 be conservative
and to make haste slowly.

THE COURIER of last week describ-
ed the difference between Mexico
and the United States as ust this:
''Mexico has silver money and pros
perity; the United States has gold
money and depression" We would
suggest that if the COURIER really
believes in Mexican prosperity, there
is no string tied to the institution and
its political editors to prevent them
from migrating and becoming full
fledged "Greasers." The NORTH
ERNER believes, in spite of the bust
ness depression, that is the most
prosperous country on earth. While
our condition is not what it should be
and while it might doubtless be i'm
proved by proper financial legislation
and by a return squarely to the
American protective policy, we do not
believe that the people of Mexico or
of any other country are in better
circumstances.

CONSIDERABLE public interest was
felt in the debate in Chicago, Friday
evening, between w. II. Harvey and
Prof. Laughlin on the silver question.
The interest was not so much because
of the pre-eminence of the debaters
as because the debate seemed to
be sort of formal opening
of national financial discussion
which is destined to be the begin
ming of national financial wisdom.
Harvey was never heard of until he
wrote "Coin's Financial School,"
Laughlin is theoretical, impractical
college professor. Yet the debate

THE supreme court has knocked
out the income tax law bodily and
the administration is in a quandary.
With an existing deficit of more
than $50,000,000, and constantly in
creasing, and the income tax, which
was expected to produce anywhere
from S30,000,000 to S50,000,000 of
revenue, gone by the board, the out
look is exceedingly discouraging.
But two lines of action are open

gether in special session to increase
tariff duties, or another appeal must

to the rescue with the purchase of an

TIE question is not as to what
kind of dollars our "daddies" used,
but rather what dollars are the best
and safest for the present time and
the existing trade conditions. Our
fathers used the stage coach as their
mode of travel; yet we to-day prefer
the railroad train. The mere claim
that silver was the dollar of our faith
ers does not in any degree establish
its claim to money uses to-day.
Unless it is the best and safest money
for the present uses, there is no
ground for its return. The truth OF
the matter is that there were very
few silver dollars before the war, as
compared with the present time.
The NoRTHERNER is in favor of BIZ
metallsm, not because of any wor-
ship for the dollar of our dads,
but because we believe that the
amount of gold in the United States
is far too small to furnish IA safe and
unchanging basis for our currency,
and because we believe that curren.

would be more stable, its huctua.

of the precious metals was attended with
great danger from both violence and ac-
cident, and involved much expense and
delay, as well as some slight wear of the
coins. AS business diversified and ex-
panded these difficulties were obviated,
in a large degree, and convenience in
certain other respects was accomplished,
by depositing with some responsible party
gold and silver for which a receipt or
certificate was issued which entitled the
holder to the coin upon presentation.
This the characteristic feature of the
original Bank Of Venice, founded in the
twelfth century, whose paper representa-
tives of coin money actually in it's vaults
long commanded premium in the early
commercial world. The effect of such
REPRESENTATIVE MONEY
was to facilitate and expedite
exchanges. 1t added nothing what
ever to the money stock. If, for ex-
ample, when wheat was in use as the
communitys medium of exchange, re-
course had been had to the use of ele-
vator receipts to avoid the necessity of
carrying the wheat around, nobody would
have been foolish enough to think that
the number of bushels of wheat had been
increased thereby, and everyone before
exchanging commodities for wheat re-
ceipts would have ascertained the supply
of actual wheat. What articles were
worth in wheat depended on the quantity
of wheat The elevator receipts would
circulate faster than the wheat but they
could not create wheat. And so, when
the use of the metals became common
and; the bank certificates referred to
were employed, they served purpose
precisely analogous to the elevator re-
ceipts. They facilitated and quickened
transactions but they did not increase the
quantity of gold and silver. The measure
of the value of things was still the same.
Our gold-advocate friends seem for the
most part wholly oblivious of the import
ance of the MEASURING function of
money. You might read their arguments for
weeks and never discover that money is
anything but medium Of exchange. But
the function of a measure of values is
in some respects far more important than
the mere exchange function. Every ad-
vance in the devising of expedients for
making ultimate or fundamental money
more active, has operated almost
wholly upon the exchange function with
out materially affecting the measuring
function of primary money. Many per-
sons who accept this limitation as re-

cation to the later forms of circulating
credit It may be frankly confessed in
deed, without impairing the principle or
the essential nature of it's operation as
already explained, that temporary and
slight departure from the rule may be
caused by the kinds of secondary money
to be next considered.
CREDIT MONEY.
1t was early discovered, after commerce
had become varied and widely extended,
that these convertible representatives Of
stored coin were so convenient to use
that the tendency was for them to remain
in circulation instead Of being presented
promptly for redemption Thence came
the device Of floating more paper orders
for coin than there was coin to redeem
them; but the intention was always to
keep on hand such an amount of the pri-
mary money as experience had shown to
be likely to be called for from time to
time by the presentation of paper for re-
demption. Thus the ultimate money was
the measure and regulator of this new
kind of paper, "uncovered' paper, as it
is technically called. Our gold advocate
friends are constantly insisting on a sys-
TEN of bank notes and elaborate provis-
ions for their redemption. Were it to be
regardlessly Of the amount of ultimate
money behind them we should find a
pretty tempest about our ears; but this
very necessity demonstrates that the pri-
mary or ultimate money is still the uni
versal measure. Bank credits operate
upon the same principle. By depositing
money at a bank A has sum placed to
his credit. B discounts a note at the
same bank and gets loan of part Of the
money deposited by A. G likewise may
borrow the rest of it. Then D may de-
post bonds, stock certificates, mortgages
or other securities, and obtain a credit
to check against. To meet all these de-
mands the bank aims to have always at
hand funds in such proportion to liabili-
ties as, on the redemption principle, ex-
perience has shown to be "safe.' Thus
perhaps one deposit of cash will be skill
fully kept busy doing double, treble a
quadruple duty, the credits multiplying
the circulating medium accordingly This
merely shows of course that there is a.
demand for more real money in business
but very naturally most of the banks are
opposed to the increase of such money,
which the people could use without in
terest. They much prefer to keep the sup
ply limited and thus stretch the fabric of

A GREAT BATrLE AsSuREn.


This does not, however, imply
that the great battle" will occur
in the prize ring. The court of
criminal appeals has decided that
the fight cannot be prohibited un-
der the provisions of the statutes
of the state of Texas, but Govern
or Culbertson declares that he will
prevent the fight under the COM
mon penal statutes, no matter
what decisions may be rendered
on the prize fighting law. Should
the managers of the contest resist
the orders of the state it is not I'M
likely that serious trouble will re-
suit. The governor appears deter
mined to prevent the meeting of
the pugilists at all hazards and
the sporting men of the country
are just as determined that the
meeting must not be interrupted.
We publish the two conflicting
dispatches below in order to show
the correct status of the case:
Dallas, Sept. 1.-THE Corbett-
Fitzsimmons match will come off
in this city. In the test glove
contest case before Judge Hurt,
of the court of criminal appeals,
he held today that there is no law
in Texas against prize fighting.

ject which 1 regarded as the most

ton, that this man has violated a
law that has been 50 plainly writ

No RnNn ISSUE

Washington, Sept. 17-Reports
to the treasury department show
that $250,0O0 in gold we're with
drawn today from the sub-treasury
at New York for export, and that
S250,0O0 in gold was deposited by
Rochester banks, which offsets the
Withdrawals, leaving the true
amount of the reserve at the close
of business 500, 1926
Under normal conditions the
treasury gains some gold nearly
every day, as banks in all Of the
sub-tressury cities prefer to ex-
change for notes any small amount
of gold they may take in over their
counters if their coin reserve is in
no need of replenishing. During
the last few weeks the aggregate
of these deposits has been consid-
cradle. Offers of large amounts,
however, have not been plentiful
except when accompanied by con
ditions the department could not
accept.
At New York today $436, 900 in
large United States notes was de-
posted in exchange for small notes
to be shipped to a number of
points east, south and west. These
exchanges are received with salts
faction at the department, as they
reduce the supply of cash which
in time, it is argued, is sure to re-
suit IN a stiffening of the rates of
interest and incidentally in the
cessation of Withdrawals of gold
for foreign investments.
The talk of an early bond issue
has practically died out here, the
opinion among officials being that
while President Cleveland will
protect the national credit when
in danger by any means within
his power, the present situation is
not such as to call for any action
on his part.
