More About Money.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-In my last
little squib upon money, my allusion
to Brother W. c. Nelson's money the
DRY as not quite meeting my ideal of
money, it seems he thinks me incon-
sistant, to say the least. To call his
system a book keeping idea is no dis
credit (nor was it intended to be) when
we remember that Venice virtually
controlled the financial world for 800
years by a system Of banking that was
wholly book k-keeping. That called
the greenbacks notes is true, but l did
il in the popular way of speaking of
them. But that they were notes in the
common sense of showing indebted
ness deny. claim that the green
backs were money and that money
meant more than receipt, check or
warrant. 1t is true they might have
been designated checks, warrants or
receipts, but being clothed with the
powers they were, they would, and the
greenback did, become money. That
by law they were made everything that
coined gold or silver ever was, except
in two cases-"duty on imports and
interest on the public debt" Mr.. Mel
son seems to think that l argue that
the nation added value to the green.
back and thus fell into the hands of
Wall street. Well, don't the law add
so cents to the dollar of coined silver
to-day, and would not the repeal of the
legal-tender act concerning gold knock
so per cent. out of gold in a few years?
Does Brother Nelson suppose that any
one would receive gold or silver for
the liquidation of debts or obligations
unless they were made a legal tender
No, Che ssys) he only takes them be-
cause it enables him to command that
much of wealth. True, but if they did
not have the legal-tender act behind
it,they would not command wealth any
more than paper would. 1t is because
gold, silver and paper money are legal
payment for their amount in all the
wealth of the nation that they to-day
pay for the same amount of bread, or
meat, or service. 1t is the law and
not the material that makes money
where there is no money behind it.
Suppose that the gold and silver coins
should bear the inscription, "To pay
80 many dollars" instead of saying,
"This is so many dollars" the law re-
naming the same, would it require
the government to find something else
to pay it IMP There is no doubt that
the money kings Of the United States
had the "promise to pay" put upon
the money-the greenback, that they
might have the chance to gamble in
them. What hurts Wall street is not
that the government can create wealth
but that it don't stamp its fiat upon the
substance they possess a monopoly of.
The value of money lies in the fact
that the law makes it legal represen-
tatiVe Of and the payment for all prop
eEty. That the greenback is money,
quote the following decisions of
judges. Judge Monel in the case of
Wilson,vs. Morgan: Congress having
created paper money and rendered it
nominslly for all legal purposes equal
to gold, there no longer remains in
legal contemplation anY difference be.

Mr.. ThurstOn points out the part
that steamship and telegraph subsi-
dies are playing In the development
of the Pacific. With the EicaTaguan
canal and the Trans-Siberian railroad
completed, and with railways on the
Pacific Slope stretching from Alaska
To Chile, Mr.. Thurston foresees an
enormous growth for Pacific commerce
ten or fifteen years hence He says:
"PrOpbesying is dangerous aud I'M
certain business but 10 seems alto
gether probable that within ten or
fifteen years the railroad from St.
Petersburg TO VIadivostock will have
been completed, and that steamship
lines will radiate from the latter point
to Vancouver, San Francisco, the
Nicaragua canal and the Southern
colonies. The railroad system OF North
America Will have been extended 10
Alaska on the north and 10 Chile on
the south. The Nicaragua canal will
have been constructed, and large
proportion OF the enormous commerce
which now pours through the Euez
canal will have been diverted TO it's
American rival. Honolulu will be
the center OF cable system radiating
TO Tahiti, Australia, Japan, Vancouver
and San Francisco, while between all
the main ports OF the Pacific steamers
Of the size and speed of those now ply
ing between New York and Europe
will be in use.
"The Pacific has already made giant
strides OF progress, but 1t Is yet only
upon the threshold of the destiny
which looms before It,"

not be checked or barred by any blum |
ders or ignorance of statesmanship |
from having its full share of this giant |
growth or from occupying proper |

Terrill and Griffith Training for
San Francisco Races.

Harry F. Terrill and T. A. Grif-

Coast, and who spent the winter in
Honolulu, have been training dill
gently since their return home.
Both of the riders will take part in
a series of races to be held in San

Arthur A. Zimmerman, the
worlds champion cyclist, has ac-
cepted the challenge of Hubert
Houben, the Belgian who holds the
championship of Europe, to ride
three races for 24,O00 francs, or
$4,000 a side. He has also received
offers to race in Europe, similar to
those he accepted last year.
Zimmerman will leave Freehold
the middle of next month for Paris,
where the challenge race comes of.
He will also race in Italy and Aus
tralia and visit Honolulu on his
return trip next February.

Mr.. Sneathen intended 10 make

He is still confident the royalists

prominent official in Pittsburg, and
has some political influence, as the

ure to have an opportunity to speak
q word in Recommendation of what
sincerely believe to be the best as IL
10 the most scientific baking powder
now afforded US. I refer to that OF
Prof. Horsfnrd, who has rendered us
valuable service, also, in his widely
known acid phosphate. As an able
chemist, diligent and careful inves-
tigator, we feel confident that what
he offers US in this line is reliable
and on scientific principles. Hors-
ford's Baking Powder is predicated
on physiological principles. and
forms q strong contrast with that
flood of commercial articles with
which it has to compete-composed,
as they are. largely Of alum, ammo.

physicians we'll know are deleterious
to the human system. We have en-
ployed Horsford's Baking Powder for
some time-have tested its merits
thoroughly rs compared with others
in the market. and cheerfully declare
that we wish nothing better.

Valuation to Get Ii.
A mass meeting was held at the
rooms of the Davenport Business
Mems association yesterday after
noon to consider the proposed lower
bridge project. Julius fischer. pres
ident Of the BusinesaN Mems associa-
ton, occupied the chSir, and called
upon Joe b. Lane to sAte the object
Of the meeting. Mr.. Lane outlined
the present status of the project in
his usual clear and forcible manner.
He stated that q bridge charter had
been held here for several years. and
that recently the Davenport & Rock
Island Bridge and Terminal C nm pany
had executed . preliminary contract
with Frank p. Blair for the erection
of bridge. the structure to BE- paid
for with bonds OF the local company
After the signing Of this contrac,
Mr.. Blair had had plans of the pro
posed bridge ard terminals prepared
The plans had been submitted to the
secretary of war for his approval
and had been approved by him with
certain notifications after having
been returned to Maj Mackenzie at
Rock Island for his advice. Wher
he came here Mr.. Blair had been &C.
companied by some of the parties
who were to build the bridge
These parties had expressed
their willingness to begin worl
at once il they were as
sured of reasonable aid by the city
Mr.. Lane believed they meant VIVA
they said. They asked that 500. 0O'
be added to the several hundred
thousand that they would invest il
the enterprise. This would hell
them carry the bonds that they &C
cepted in payment until the enter
prise was on an income basis and thu
bonds assumed q market value. 4
two per cent tax on the county valu
alton, said Mr.. Lane. would raise tn,
required amount, and spread ovel
two years would be q very ligh
burden upon the property owners
The bridge and terminals would, j
was calculated, cost over 5000, 900
considerably above that figure, pos
sibly, il it was found necessary t.
construct protection piers to guart
the bridge piers from the ice.
Several railroad companies, it wa
believed, stood ready to use tn
bridge as soon as it was completed
| Favor . Tax.
The sentiment was taken on tn
proposition to vote q tax and al
