TWO or tlfeE Al2lleE h5 INuCH IlGilN ls uGltt U ! iI our fau1t.y expenses as then. Forty years
 sgo a man, would go on Q jo5rney ot thirty
 days with h!s total expenses a to, He traY- l eled hy team stopped with hasTitable people, and his exptnSes were fight. Now on trip ot thirty days an Average man will spend three
 times $50 Then Veople traye.ed short al9- tunces and seldom went far from home ana
 the quantity Of monNY they used was small.
 We now travel far and use moro money in the
 same space of time. With tho classification cf business mere monoy is needed in the ex- change of products to reach the consumers.
 With more rapid circulation of tho blood la
 the human body more blood i5 neladtdi US hp- sorptieH and evaporation is greater And so it IS witb more rapid circulation Of tho; blood Of commerce. We thus need more money than formerly. They say checks take the place of money. IT you have a right to draw check
 on bank, you must have money in the bank. They say improved facilities and not demon citation is responsible for ON prices.
 The answer to that is this: From 1850 to 1873 was period Of great improvements in inventions and improved facilities greater by far than for the same period either before or since. and ye in the face of improved facilite8 prices advanced. II improved facilities Lave ] lowered prices s!nce 1873 why d d they not do l it before lS5&z CCst Of production is not what
 max es prices. What makes prices Is this: IL IS the relative quantity ot the two, money and proaerty una the demand for each. This can 1 be illustrated in a simple way. The exchange va ue between wheat Gnl corn is say at the present time two hashels Of corn for one Of wheat. If the quanUi Of corn in existence is small and the demand great enc hushel of corn Hay so increase n value as to exchange for bUsbel of wbeat, whereas formerly it
 took tw bushels fas cost of raising the corn wonlt have rothing to d. with GX ng it's exchaug cub,e value with wheat. So in ex changing oug property Ter money, the cost of
 neither has anything to do wita their re ativs value. Before 1873 prices yers rising as against IAHfogad fa iatGs. &hTz Hccasse these Iue improved fac .ities were rro ,9e5ng more money from god and silver up to IsBi. Alter taat year We substituted paper money in still .arser volumes and prices sdyaaeel with the increased mon y Y0luHe Improved faelI- ities may he said at lines to cause over pro auction of particular commodity. But indus trial histo zhows that this never occurs GOV ering pesiod ot even few years The pro ! duces and manufacturer feels the market and kLo% about the supply needed. The mistake may b ma4e fer one year. but il fs not peated the second year. Taere i5 no such thlH8 as over tiJJHet4oa s3 long as tens Of thousa ids going half naked and hungry We must look deeper for the cause Of our troubles.
 They say we have much money now per capita a in ls73 The answer is this It IS
 true we nave in gold and al forms of cradit money as 10ueh Der capi @ We had in 1873.
 But over tNH=lAlfls O. this money is credit money and less than one third is go or pfi-
 mary lnoHey Il is therefore top heavy. It
 shakes confidence in 1t all. It Is a erazy quit.
