10. Secretary Morton says in your
interview that amoney is the sound
est for which throughout the4scom-
merce Of the civilized world there is
the most universal demand" The
honorable gentleman here falls into
the common error of confounding
the monetary function with its phys
ical existence, just as the idol wor-
shipper of the East associates a
wooden image with the occult
power it is thought to represent.
The secretary ignores the fact that
money is national, not an inter-
national, creation. When he says
"money" he undoubtedly means
'gold," and in grains Commodity
not in dollars. If SO, he is quite
right. The grain Of gold is the cur
rent international medium of ex-
change, but not as money; it may
remain SO forever, and will unless
some international money system
shall be hereafter adopted. Gold is,
perhaps, of all commodities, the best
adapted to the settlement Of inter-
national balances; but gold is not
money any more than baled hay, ex-
cept by the incident of its use for
coinage, and in this respect paper is
its equal. Gold can never be a
smeasure" Or STANDARD" of values,
nor can it be "money" except within
the jurisdiction indicated by the
stamp it bears and even then it is
the stamp and not the bullion that
endows it with the monetary func-
ton.
II. Finally that money is the most
sound and honest (1) which most
perfectly and equitabIy performs the
monetary function of facilitating ex-
changes; (2) which represents, not
in it's substance, but in its basis Or
foundation, actual wealth SO great
that its purchasing power remains
undiminiehed and It's integrity I'M
furnished; 81 which, being divorced
from commodity, shall be freed from

The worst bar in Saem Creek, at
Biddle's landing is beng dug out,
which puts a thrill o. Joy to the hearts
of the boatmen who py between Phila.
delphia and Courses Landing. The
work was not completed two yeals ago
owing to the smallness of the apprOpri.
alton. and what was done then was no
practical use, as the channel was only
dug out to the worst place, when the
work was stopped. There was consid-
cradle criticism then owing to how the
money was used because there was no
prospect of getting another a%ppropria-
ton because chief engineer Raymond
said the amount Of commerce would
not warrant q further expenditure. No
further improvement was hoped for as
the boatmen found 1t WIS no use to
kick.
To the surprise Of all two mud dig
gers belonging to Frank Somers, OF
Camden, entered Peun's Neck Canal
last Sunday and began digging out. the
bar on Monday. None Of the boatmen
knew there had been an appropriation
made. One digger is at work on the
bar. Capt. w. T. Wright tows the
mud scows with the Victor to the pool
below the mouth OF the canal in the
Greek where 1t Is dumped and the other
digger throws the mud out Of the pool
so more can be dumped. 1t is said the
appropriation amounts to $500 which
will be enough to remove the bar and
possible do something towards remov-
ing the bar just above Hawks bridge,
which has become a bad obstruction to
navigation within a year. This digging
will greatly aid the boats in making
better time in getting the farmers
truck to market. AL the three boat
lines have had q good season this spring
in carrying manure to farmers along
Salem Creek as much more manure is
being bought by the farmers in Man
nington and Pilesgrove.

FISHING

Shad fishing has been extra good this
week. The storm the fore part of the
week made hard work for the fishermen
but those who ventuTed out were richly
rewarded. The highest catch on Mon
day was by Munyan s. Morris who got
315. On Wednesday the River was live
with fish and those who battled with
the wind waves made the best fishing
Of the season. Mnnyan & Morris
caught over 500 ON Wednesday and
Wednesday night. During the rest of
the week from 100 to $50 have been
caught in the River by many. The
rough weather hindered fishing in the
Bay and undoubtedly aided those up
the River. The River seems to be full
Of shad. Occasionally a rock is caught
and are more value than shad.
The price advanced this week and
has made fishing more profitable than
at any time during the season. On
Monday they brought Sill, so at PENIS
Grove; Tuesday, S13 and the rest of The
week from SIS to SIS. If the run of
shad continues for two weeks and the
prices remain good our fishermen will
make an extra good season and be able
to cover the losses Of last year.
Reports from Bay STA are that the
sturgeon fishermen tharAhad a good
run of fish from Friday TO "Wednesday.
G. D. Shannon caught Is on Monday
aud others did as well. Some have
already made expenses.
