THE sTANG4Fps OF VALUE.

II SCONCEPTION OR A MIsREPRE-
sENgAGION.
A friend tellsIY4 that some of the
listeners to the GRAFTON delivered in
Minneapolis, not long since, by that
shallow word-mongsr, Burke Cochran,
were impressed by the argument made
by him that there tcould not be two
standards of value, gold and silver
but that the people must select one of
them and discard the other; and
therefore he was in favor of gold mon
ometaliSm.
The answer to this is that the world
possessed and used the two metals. side
by side, from the time of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, to the year 1873. 1t
was meyer discovered that there was
any conflict between them until the
money-changers of the world thought
the amount of money in. the world
should be reduced. so as to enhance
the value Of what remained, by depre-
ciating the value of all other forms OF
property.
Burke Cochran seems to have con-
founded the unit of value with the
metal in which the value is expressed.
The unit Of value, by, the statutes of
the United States, passed when the
founders of our government were still
alive, was made silver dollar The
law fixed its relation with the gold
coinage OF the country and the minis
were open to enforce that relation
ship. AS long as given amount Of
tions OF the country. with a given
amount Of the other metal, both we're
alike in value and could not be other
wise. While the government did not
buy either the gold or the silver, yet,
by the use of its stamp it afforded a
market for both at ratio esta blished
by law, and made both legal tender at
that figure. If John is equal to Jim,
Jim is equal to John; and if the law
atlirms this equality, and declares that
one shall have ali the rights of the
other, and all the powers of the other,
it is difficult to see how there can be
any difference in power or rights be-
tween them. =, ~
Ingenuity is exhausting itself in its
efforts to find reasons why the human
family should be destroyed And in
this country it is expected that the
human family viii, through the bal
lot box, put the knife to their own
Threats.
Those are going to be fooled who
underestimate the intelligence of the
present occupants of the United
States.

4 MISTAKE.

We stated last week, on the authori-
ty Of newspaper reports, that the
PopuIists OF North Carolina, had fused
with the Republicans, and were to
give half their electoral vote to Nc
Kin!ey. Thanks to the energy and
genius OF Senator Butler OF that state,
Chairman of the Peoples Party Ma
tional Committee, this calamity has
been averted; and the Populists and
Democrats are now acting together in
cordial support Of Mr.. Bryan. This
assures him the electoral vote of that
state.

THE VALUE OF GOLD.

gold is endowed by God with some SUI

value rests on law of the British
