should say so,'' remarked Mr.. E. p.
Glaze, Of st. Louis. Il know very
many people will be surprised at the as
sertion, but there is one species Of this
unpopular tribe that is as much to be
dreaded as rattlesnake, as [ learned
one year while sojourning in Western
Texas. One night in midsummer a
party of us were camping out on the
prairie of Llano county, when We were
awakened by the screams of a colored
boy who had been taken along to cook
for the outfit. He said that something
had bitten him, and examination
showed that his hand was pretty badly
torn. There were unmistakable evil
dences of a skunk in the vicinity, and
there was no doubt that it had done
the deed.
''The sequel is that few days later
the boy died a most horrible death OF
hydrophobia. I learned that it was not
a rare thing for the bite of these miser-
able little cats to produce that dreaded
ailment, and several authenticated
cases of it occurred before [ left the
state. Some people think that hydro
phobiaf finds it's origin in these animals"

The Money Oues ion.

Inc MONEY VueS ION
EDITOR ADVOCATE: - Nothing is
clearer to my mind than the fact that
there is still the deepest fog on the
vision of the voters of this country on
the subject of the true functions of
money. Aud as it is now almost uni
Versally admitted that this question
will never down in this or any other
civilized nation, until it is decided cor.
rectly, it seems to me that there is,
just at the present moment, the most
urgent demand for the simplest and
clearest possible statement of the real
and fundamental principle underlying
this question. And while know that
much ability and deep research have
from time to time been manifested in
its treatment, by such champions as
Hon. John Davis, and others, still it
appears to me that there has been fail
ure in one feature of the subject.
The philosophic prOfundIty mani
tested in the writings Of several Of
these champions, was indispensable; and
yet / am satisfied that the great want
of the common and unframed mind of
the millions has not yet been fully met
on this subject; and until this is done
the greedy shylock will still be able to
exploit aid spoliate the masses. The
writer is not so vain as to think him
self more able to meet this want than
others; and in the feeble effort here
put forth, the most that is hoped for is
that it may lead others to make more
successful efforts in this direction.
What then is money, its nature,
functions and perVersionsP In the
effort to answer these questions, the
aim is so to present the essentials as to
make the subject plain to the least
trained class of readers. Now reader,
l ask you to dismiss from your mind
the false notion that this question of
money is too profound for your clear
comprehension. And l assure you
that when once you grasp the true
idea of the nature of money, and the
terrible perVersions Of its uses, by
which shylock has been enabled to rob
the world Of the wealth produced by
the masses, that no sophistries of the
enemy can ever persuade you to longer
aid the false system now upheld by the
two old parties. Let us assume that
the Creator has now, for the first, so
far perfected material creation as to
introduce man on earth. Let us say
there are a few families living con
tiguous to each other and representing
most Of the primitive industries. At
the end of one years labor, a farmer
calls on the tailor and remarks that he
has 100 bushels of wheat TO spare, but
is in need Of a suit Of clothes. The
tailor, pointing to a ready-made suit
of cotton goods, replies that he would
like to exchange that suit for bread.
The advocate., 1895-03-13

days labor have been expended in the
entire production of the suit. After
some thought, he is informed that
fifteen days would cover the time; and
in turn the tailor enquiries how much
labor has been given to the production
of one bushel of wheat. On learning
that one days work was bestowed on
its production, he proposes to exchange
the suit for fifteen bushels of wheat.
This is agreed to and the exchange Is
effected.
In this transaction money was nei-
ther needed nor thought of, and indeed
in this supposed primitive condition,
the idea of money, or medium Of ex.
change, would never enter the human
mind. And if society had always re.
mained in such condition as to enable
producers to freely effect exchanges in
this way, then any such device as
money would have remained forever
unknown.
Under such conditions no shyloCk
could by any possibility appropriate to
his own use the wealth produced by
others, and instead of IS per cent. Of
the wealth of this country being to-day
in the hands of three hundredths Of
l per cent. of the population, it would
all be in the hands of those whose toll
produced 1t. Under these conditions,
he who would not labor could not eat,
except by the consent Of him who does
labor. What a happy state of society
would thus exist in the United States,
instead of the present deplorable con.
ditionl But now let us return to the
above supposed exchange transaction.
What was it that determined the
values of the respective articles ex-
changedP Can any honest and intelll.
gent mind give any other answer than
this: 1t was the labor bestowed on the
the production of the articles. Labor,
then, is the true and only measure Of
values. This is Gods own law, and
like all Divine law, its observance In
violate, is essential to the happiness
and prosperity of man.
And now, however intricate and
complicated traffic, exchange and com
merce may become, this law must be
maintained inViolate, or arrangement,
confusion and suffering, yea, even bar
barism and all its attendant evils must
follow. Under present conditions Of
commerce, money becomes necessity.
And had society properly guarded
against false monetary system, there
would not to-day be fastened upon the
nations Of the earth that deadly virus
which enables the few to transfer TO
Themselves the wealth produced by the
toiling millions. The shrewd and self
ish shylocks, through the aid Of in
competent or corrupt officials, have
duped the world into a recognition and
acknowledgment of intrinsic value In
gold and silver as money metals. This
enables them not only to make Of
money a commodity, but the commod
ity which alone measures and deter
mines the values of all other commodi.
ties. Through this deyilish fsllacy,
those whose cunning and rascality en-
ables them to corner the money not
only possess the wealth of the earth,

Populist party for the reason, if for no
other, that the platform of chat party
contains declarations, and the party
advocates theories to which they can
not give their assent. But we must in
some way come together on this issue,
or the cause is lost, and with it the in
dependence of the people No old
party ever carried through great
reform. New bottles for new wine.
Therefore, no other course seems
possible than to subordinate for the
time being other questions and come to
the front in new organization to fight
the battle of 1896 on the one great is
sue on which the prosperity and happi-
ness of the people so largely depend. 1t
is believed that this cause can be won
in no other way, and that to continue
to contend for it only within the lines
of existing parties is to court defeat at
the outset and to lose the battle in the
election.
"The purpose of this movement is
not to array section against section,
nor class against class, nor require any
body to give up his convictions on
other questions, or to sever his party
relations for any other purpose than
to unite in a common cause.-the cause
Of justice against injustice, of prosper
ity instead of adVersity,. of continued
employment of labor instead of forced
idleneSs, of abundance and happiness
instead of want and misery. There
can be no doubt, moreover, that re-
turn to the standard of gold and silver
will promote in the highest degree the
business interests Of the entire cOun-
try, while our continuance Of the pres
ent policy must necessarily be attended
by further fall of prices, imperiling
business enterprise still more and pro
longing indefinitely the present stag
nant condition of trade and Industry.
"Better prices under existing condi-
tions cannot be expected. A debtor
nation cannot maintain an even list Of
prices with creditor nations. The sin
gle gold standard can be maintained
in the United States only by forcing
down the price level of commodities
enough below the price level
of other countries to turn gold
this way, or, at any rate to
induce our creditors to take cOmmOdi-
ties of us for what we owe them in
stead of demanding gold. Any policy,
therefore that tends to raise prices
necessarily operates to expel gold.
This condition of things cannot be
overcome by tariffs, much less by free
trade. In the payment of annual dues
to other countries we must compete
with other debtor countries; with Ar
gentine, with Egypt, with India, with
all the colonies of Great Britain, and,
worst of all, with A0iatic races, with
industries stimulated as never before
by the low price of silver. These con-
ditions from which there iJ no escape
as long as the gold standard policy is
pursued, intensity the gravity of the
situation in this country to such an
extent as to compel the serious atten-
ton of all patriotic citizens. How idle
in the presence of such conditions to
expect to maintain the gold standard

people than any question since the civil
war, if not, indeed, since our independ-
ence was gained, for in its ultimate
outcome the question Of sufiCiency
or scarcity of money is a question of
freedom or serfdom for the mass Of
the people.
"While not unmindful Of the inter.
ests of the people of other countries on
this question, it is not an issue that
can be safely submitted to the decision
of foreign governments, or be made to
depend on what other countries may or
may not do. When our monetary sys.
tenn was established, over 100 years ago
with a population of less than 4 mil
lions, our fathers did not wait for or
invite the concurrence of other powers,
Nor did the trainers of the constitution
contemplate any such action. They
legislated for the United States, and
we now, as Americans, must legislate
for ourselves. Beware of entangling
alliances, in this as in other matters,
and especially of allurements of inter
national conferences to detain action
in our own behalf In the delusiVe hope
other countries will care for our inter
ests better than we can ourselves. No
other country has ever asked our ap'
proval of its financial policy.
'It is believed the United States has
power enough in the commercial world
to alone restore the link between gold
and silver, broken in 1873, but should
gold for any reason temporarily go to a
premium, it will none the less operate
On prices generally, and certainly a
premium on gold here would, like fall
in the gold price of silver to silver
countries, inure on every side to the
advantage of the United States.
"Fellow citizens, the power is still in
your hands to right by the ballot the
great wrong of 1873, and to save your.
selves and your children from the
thralldom which the gold standard
policy, if persisted in, will surely
bring upon you and them.
"We pray you, therefore, not to let
the settlement of this question 60 be-
yond the election of 1896, but subordi-
mating all questions for the time being
to this, the supreme issue, settle this
now, and settle it forever. And we
especially urge upon you the impor-
tance of immediate organization in
townships and counties Throughout the
entire country, for the purpose of car

How People Can Provide for the
Necessities of Next Winter.
Mr.. Frederick L. Moore, chairman of the
committee on charities Of the Washington
board of trade, has caused to be printed
an interesting card to be displayed in
prominent places, informing the poorer peo-
pie of the cities of the fact that small
sums of money can be saved by them, and
urging them to begin now to save against
the necessities of next winter. Five thou
sand of these cards have been prepared,
and ale being distributed among the bust
ness men with the request that they hang
the cards up prominently. On one edge of
the card is a phrase OF advice, as follows:
DO not give something for nothing" and
on the other-"Help others to help them
Selves" The card reads thus:
The committee on charities of this board
call the attention of all persons of small
means to the fact that we have in this
city several savings institutions, managed
by some of our most reliable business men,
which are ready to receive as small
amounts on deposit as ten cents, and will
allow interest on all sums of $ or more.
There are still twenty-six weeks left in
this year; a little self lenial now will
enable most every one to deposit fifty cents
per week, amounting to over Sl3 with ac-
crued interesD by January l, next which
will, in most cases. pay for the fuel needed
for next winter. Committee on charities

Holidays Mt the Navy Yard.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The Navy Department, not satisfied with
taking from the overworked navy yard
employees the privilege of thirty days leave
or furlough. thirty days sick leave, and an
additional thirty days sometimes given at
the option Of the chiefs, has seen fit to
deprive them of the half day grace allowed
the clerks of the other departments before
all legal holidays. The halliday holiday
preceding the legal holiday is given to all
| the ether government employees SO as to
allow them 10 prepare for the holiday, or,
in other words, to give the out-of-town
CLERKS a chance to spend their whole holi-
day at horne.
But why the navy yard employees are
debarred frcm this privilege is indeed
mystery. Are they not entitled to all the
rights that the other government employees
enjoy! Why therefore. this Partially and
unfair discrimination? Do they not do
their share of the nations great work?
Should not all the government employees be
governed by the same regulations and en-
joy the same rights?
That there should be no mistake an
order promulgated by the Secretary is
posted promiscuously around the yard
This says, among other things, that If any
man is absent the day before a holiday he
shall receive no pay for that day and also
Lone for the holiday succeeding
Tie navy yard employees have always
been Disseminated against. Take, for in
stance, the Gresham case. While all the
other employees received a half holiday to
show their respect for the dead jurist the
navy yard mechanics could be found hard
at work at the old stand. This is not the
only case in which the skillful artisan has
been wronged
AS the Fourth of July is close at hand,
and as procraStination never results in any
practical benefits, If you would lend the aid
OF your influential paper in behalf of the
oppressed navy yard employees you would
receive their everlasting blessing and graft
tude. GUS A SCHULDT
