time to write this, because you are publishing
good paper, which always read with interest,
and would fain extend and increase its inHu-
ence by getting you on sounder, more coher-
ent basis of economics. Economic truth must
be the redemption and salvation OF the race,
and it is coherent and consistent whole, not
detached and inconsistent parts of varying the

close to the laws of Nature, for the laws OF the
Universe are the only fnger-post that points
to the temple of Truth. Justice between every
person and all other persons is the ultimate OF
truth and of true religion-the latter being but
another name for eternal truth. Justice means
freedom which is mans birthright, and FREE
DOM means EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY to exer-
else ones natural powers of hand and brain to
supply his or her material, mental and spiritual
wants.
The only thing necessary, and the only one
which CAN, give this freedom of justice is the
separation of social, or publicly-created, values
from individual, or privately created, values,
giving to each their own-to the public (soci-
ety. the social values for social (public) uses,
in place of any other taxation, and thus leaving
to the individual, for his or her own enjoyment,
the entire product of their own exertion

LITTLE CHILDREN AND SPIRITUAL
MOTHERS

When child at school, the writer CHANGED
one day to have an alteration with school
mate, and she, wishing to say something par
ticularly spitefu by way of retaliation, said, in
sneering way, "My mother knows more than
your mother does"
Reverence for the mother is the central law
of the child-soul, and, because of this rever-
ence, the little ones readily glide into disputes
concerning the comparative merits of their
mothers, for, what child does not, for the time,
think that its own mother is the best mother in
the world? But, as they grow older, they leave
off such childish disputes. Why? Because
they come at last to have sense enough to re-
spect each others preference for their own
mother, and there leave it.
The body is 'tthe house we live in" 1t is
the temple that is the dwelling-place of the liv
ing soul during its earth life. AS the "temple
not made with hands," the material universe,
is sacred because of the Infinite Presence that
dwells therein, so in the childhood of the hui
man race: The temples that their own hands
had reared have been deemed holy because of
the sacred presence that was supposed to dwell
therein; and is not that other "temple not made
with hands," the human body ("your bodies
are the temples of the Holy Ghost"), also holy
because of the sacred presence that dwells there
in-the human soul2 "Put thy shoes from off
thy feet, for the place where thou staudest is
holy ground"
Looking within the temple of the body to
the sacred presence that dwells therein, and en-
tering with revered thought the "holy of holies"

of the child-soul, do we not find enshrined there
the sacred image of the mother?
Between every child-soul and mother-soul
there is an "open door," consequently, when
we attack the mother we invade the "holy OF
holes" of the child-soul, and as reverence for
the mother is the central law of the child-soul,
we find that that law has reused up all the
forces of the soul to resent the intrusion.
AS those who, physically, are but little ones
think that their own mothers are the best moth
ers in the world, and are ready to battle with
words and blows in their defense, why is it not
lust as natural that those who, in spiritual de-
velopment, are but little ones, should think
that their spiritual mothers-the church in
which they have been born and reared-is the
best chnrch-the best spiritual mother in the
world?
May it not be through the law of reverence
for the mother that "rny church and your
church," "your doxy and my doxy," have
been shouted by earth's little ones to each other
across the ages? And it is the law of reverence
for the mother that will be the germ from which
will develope the worlds harmony in the future,
for, through their spiritual development, the
little ones will see eye to eye, and, looking be-
yond churches, beyond symbols, to the one
Divine mother Then shall earth's little ones
Glove one another"

officer who fell in the late war. After having

We believe, then, that, in the philosophy of
money, it should be sufficiently plentiful to de-
stroy the power of interest, but to reach that
point, as things are now, will take long period
of conservative action in order to protect the
interests of the creditor class.
The second is that free silver will
increase the volume of money and tend to de-
stroy the power of interest, leading to 6nan
cial condition indicated in the above.
Here we have the two opposite and irrecon-
cilable assumptions that money is measure of
PRICES (not vALUEs), and that its abundance
will lessen-or, if large enough destroy-in-
terest for its use. You say, and truly, that
money is only medium of exchanging values,
and of measuring the PRICE, or RELATIVE value,
of the two articles of real wealth exchanged, as
you do in the following extract from the same
editorial:
Let us lead the people back to the philosophy
of money, wherein it is assumed that money is
simply medium of exchange of articles of
merchandise, and should not necessarily possess
intrinsic value, since intrinsic value is always
in the article transferred rather than in the
agent used in the transfer, just as in the trans
Il
one party to another. The value is not i'll the
scales or measure, and anything that will effect
the transfer serves the purpose, so there is uni
forinity.
bushel of wheat or yard of cloth always
possesses intrinsic value, and without variation;
that is, there is a fixed quantity of food i'll one
and fixed degree of comfort in the other.
The cry for money that has intrinsic value
would cease were it not that money commands
interest Place money, then on a level with
scales and yardsticks, and interest will cease.
To be consistent in the above, you must as
sumo that sufhciency of yardsticks and bushel
measures will destroy the value of cloth and
wheat. If, as you say, the value is in the
things exchanged (and it is), and not in the
money used in the exchange, it necessarily fol-
lows that increased volume of money does not
affect values of goods, but their prices-values
being measured by cost of production, modified
by demand and supply-and prices relating only
to relative values of different classes of goods
and of the same classes at different times.
Not alone sound reasoning and correct theory,
but all experience of mankind, confirm the cor
rectness of this view of values and prices-that
values exist independently of money, and would
exist if there was not dollar on earth, or if
every leaf of every tree on earth was legislated
to be dollar.
Interest, being a mode of exchanging or
transferring wealth (real value) from one per-
son to another rests upon precisely the same
natural or moral basis as any sale Of goods from
the producer to the consumer, and the sale of
goods is only method Of selling the labor of
