ULTIMATE REDEMPTION"

The term which heads this article is
one frequently and glibly used by writers
on financial topics, the real meaning OF
which majority of them have little
conception. They are apt to assume that
gold coin is the ultimatum of payment.
This is true only because that gold coin
can again be paid out by the holder for
some commodity he may desire to pur-
chase. 1t would be OF no more value to
the possossor than tho pebbles at his feet
were it not for the law which creates and
recognizes it as the measure Of the rela
tive values OF the things which men
need or desire in sustaining life or adding
to their pleasure. If this proposition is
true then gold which has been used in
the redemption of obligations is itself, in
turn, redeemed in articles of commerce
between men, and this process is kept in
motion indefinitely, leaving no point or
condition in the financial and business
affairs of the world where there can be
said to lie final or ultimate re demp-
ton. Wheneverit it is conceded that such
condition as final or ultimate redemp-
ton or payment exists-a condition
where nothing else is to be or can be
done to make the transaction complete
and absolutely at an end-a point has
been reached where the commerce of the
world ceases and terminates, and there
is nothing more to be done but to con
sumo your gold in an attempt to subsist
upon IT.
If this gold coin is redeemable in
bread and meat, in clothing and the other
comforts of life, then the commerce of
the world is kept in motion, and although
fine-spun theory of money o. ulti-
mate redemption" is destroyed, it must
be admitted that trade and commerce
human existence even-are maintained
only by the destruction of that theory
aud upon the contra theory that gold
coin or any other form of so-called money
of ultimate redemption is itself redeem
able, and, therefore, that there is no sucl
thing as ultimate redemption"

EXTREMES MEET,

The papers have recently been full Of
comment on the riots in Boston which
occurred the Fourth of July between the
Catholic organizations on the one side
and the Orange lodges and A. p. AS on
the other. This is only recurrence Of
what usually happens when these bod

Protective Association is "a body OF OK.
tremists aud cranks whose real purpose
is to destroy whatsoever is opposed to
their own religious belief, but who pre-.
tend solicitudo for the public school
system, which they claim is endangered
by the attitude OF the Catholic church
toward It.
The last census shows that only about
10 per cent Of tho population Of the
Unitod States are Catholics and even il
they were all opposed to the common
school, it would require some hing more

HORR'S ADHESION.

Mr.. Roswell Ct. Horr, the financial edi,
tor of the New York Tribune, ard Il
champion of the single gold standard
cause, in his debate with the author Of
Coins Financial School," Mr.. W. II.
Harvey, made the following statement of
his position on the money question:
believe that both gold and silver are the
natural money of the world that in the largest
transactions gold is better adapted to the bust.
ness needs of the people than silver; that all
the smaller business transactions of the human
family for many years have been and always
should be conducted with silver.
This, coming from an advocate Of the
present gold standard movement, proves
what the silver party has all along in
sisted upon-i e., that the opposition to
the free coinage of silver was in the in
terest of the rich money.lender whose
transactions involve large sums, while
the money which represents the poor
and is used in the smaller business ex-
changes was to be ignored and driven
from circulation.

THAT UNIT,

Much discussion has grown out of the
question as to whether gold or silver was
established the unit OF value by the coin
age act OF 1892. All agree that the dol
lar was the unit in our money system
then engraited into the coinage of our
money, and this unit still remains un-
changed. There was no gold dollar pro-
vidcd for by that coinage act, but there
was silver dollar created thereby
which represented the only unit of value
we ever had This has remained the
sole and only representative of that unit
for more than 100 years, except few
gold dollars coined under the act of
l849, which never entered really into the
circulating medium of the country. be.
cause they were found to be too small
for the value they represented and fell
into disuse almost us soon as issued, and
their coinage coaeel long since. The
standard silver dollar was and is the
unit of value, and contains exactly the
same amount of silver it did 100 years
ago.

SAND STONE.

The EAGLE has heretofore briefly re-
ferred to the building stone OF this vicin
ity, but for want of space could not ex-
tend a, description OF this feature OF our
numerous natural resources. The lodges
OF sand stone extend from point within
a few yards of the town to the base OF
Patos mountain. or three miles or more.
They have b en- opened near town and
the various demands of the community
have been supplied therefrom. These
openings disclose stone from six inches
to four feet in thickness, of beautiful
building material which can be taken
ont of the quarries in almost any length
and width desired. On the north side of
White Oaks Canon is found very light
colored stone Of which some of our finest
buildings are constructed and on the
south side is a quarry of much darker
shade which inclines to blush tint.
About six miles to the north is another
deposit of sandstone of dark brown
which was visited by representative Of
the EAGLE last week. This ledge has not
yet been opened, except to secure few
blocks for special work, because of the
difficulty in hauling it out, there being
no travelled road near it. 1t has, when
dressed, reddish tint, is exceedingly
firm andsclose- grained, but easily worked
and taking polish almost equal to mar
BILE. The ledges are very extensive and
when reached by "a raiload this stone
would meet an unlimited demand, be-
cause of its beauty, finish and strength
and the cheapness with which it can be
procured,
The stone from all Of these lodges can
be cheaply quarried, is easily worked
and will bear any reasonable pressure it
may be subjected to.

BANKS AND PAPER.

In the Washington Post we find these
remarks:
The Philadelphia Times calls atten.
tion to the complaint that very many
parts OF the country are without tho
banking facilities that they need. 1t
shows that the whole number of banks
is less than it was three years ago. and
less than it was last year. aud says their
circulation has ceased to perform the
functions expected of it. The Times
concludes that there is therefore an ab-
solute necessity to modify the national
banking laws, unless we are to surrender
all the many advantages of banks OF
issue and depend entirely upon our pres
ent irrational and dangerous issues OF
government paper
"This is live issue and one in which
there are great possibilities. 1t will
prove hundred times more exciting
than tariff schedules
Now, this is interesting. The Phila-
delphia Times, owing to its connections,
is one of the most rampant opponents
of the restoration OF silver to be found
in the country, and yet it perceives that
the money question possesses vitality
that will not permit the matter to be
disposed OF until some adequate remedy
for the present condition Of affairs can
be found and applied. ...
The Times admits that something is
wrong. The national banks are retiring
from business and those that retain their
names and carry on banking have large.
ly withdrawn their notes from circula.
tion. Except as to the specific purpose
for which it was intended at the time
of its establishment-the supplying Of a
market for government bonds-the ma
tional banking system has proven itself
to be stupendous farce. 1t has out
lived its usefulness except for the one
single aud single function Of lending
money and shaving or dlscounting notes;
for not only is the circulation of the
banks decreasing, but they no longer
furnish market for United States
bonds. This is shown by the fact that
when Mr.. Clevland wanted to make his
last issue OF bonds he was compelled to
pay British syndicate bonus or pre-.
MUM OF nine or ten million dollars for
sixty five millions in gold.
More than this, and leaving tho ma.
tional banks out OF view. the decrease in
the total volume OF circulation last
year, according to the treasury reports
is about SG0,000000 and this does moi
include the large amount OF gold ex
ported which has not returned and
shows no sign of returning. The facts
are thatin every part OF this country
where wealth is produced, there hai
been and is now currency famine
Only in the money centors, where the
products OF labor are made the play
things OF speculation, is there sufficient
supply OF money on which to do bust
ness. and in these centeIs the money il
held and boarded.
There is but one remedy and that i
to increase the volume OF money q
innl payment by restoring TO il on
stock Of silver. When that In done on
banking system may be revised and cor
rected ut leisure, but until that is don,
II s idle to talk about making furihc
