CRISIS IN vcroRlA's FINANCES

Escape from Bankruptcy.
1t Is a fact that not very many years
ago her majesty escaped complete
financial ruin by a mere chance. The
failure Of certain great bank is with
In eVerybOdy's recollection. It came
like thunderbolt upon the whole COM
mercial world. The deficit was not to,
be counted in hundreds of thousands,
but In millions Of money. AS for the
shareholders in the unlimited company,
they were liable individually to the
whole extent Of the banks debt. That
Is to say, the owner Of a ten-pound note
share was part debtor Of the six or
seven millions that the bank was short
This, Of course, meant hopeless ruin
even to the very richest Of them. The
first call swept away the savings Of a
lifetime Of the widow and orphan. In
a short time the weight Of debt had
attacked and swallowed up the
middle-class holders of shares. Then,
grinding as slowly and surely as "the
mills Of the gods" it reached the capt.
talist and millionaire and left them
sucked dry and penniless. 1t mattered
nothing whether they had one share or
a hundred, the result was the same
hopeless ruin. Now, 1t happened that
some time before this failure a loyal
ScOtchman had died, bequeathing sun
dry shares in this bank to the queen.
Her advisers sat long in council con-
sidering this bequest, and her fate
trembled in the balance. At last they
decided that 1t was beneath her dig
nifty to hold shares in commercial I'M
dertakiSg. But the comic papers got
hold Of the incident after the failure OF
the bank and made capital of 1t from
the point of view Of what might have
happened" They pictured Osborne,
BalmOral and Buckingham palace for
sale and the crown jewels in pawn
They pictured MRS. England" reduced
to taking in dodgers. They represented
her ruling the kingdom from room
in the workhouse and Mr.. Gladstone

FUNCTION OF MONEY.

Development of the Monetary Problem
Means a Government Paper Currency.
Besides the checks and promissory
notes, issued by individuals, which
have a limited circulation, and the
notes issued by banks, witch have
more extended circulation, many gov
ernments ISSUE notes directly that cir
culate generally among the people. AS,
however, the precious metals are the
only commodities generally accepted as
money throughout the world, all prom
ises to pay are based upon one or an
other Of them. but the aggregate OF
value represented by these promises to
pay is so great that their fulfllment at
any one time in coin or bullion would
be impossible, the ratio between the
volume Of exchanges effected by the
use of paper representatives OF money
to the volume effected by coin or bull
lion itself being greater than 3 to l.
This fact, that the total value called
for by the paper representatives OF
value at any time in exis -ence, al
though expressed in terms Of the units
Of value originally designating COINS
vastly exceeds the value Of the metals
as coined or held in bullion by the
sources whence coins are issued, to-
gether with the fact that no man will
inly and knowingly exchanges COM
modlties for paper representatives oil
value without believing that he can OBJ
tain the worth called for by these rep
resentatives. leads to the perception
that, after all, 1t is not the metals, how
ever precious, but property OF all kinds
that is their basis, and that these pa
per representatives of value are sue
ceeding coins in designating and meas
uring the value of the commodities
for which they are exchanged. And
as the value of commodities depends
upon the efforts expended, under the
law of supply and demand, in produc-
ing and delivering them at the place Of
need, the ultimate function Of paper
representatives Of value Is to measure
and reward human effort.-"Develop'
ment of the Monetary Problem" BY
Logan G. Mcpherson, in Popular
Science Monthly.

pREE SILVER AND FIAT.
Tho Difference Between Token Money
ma Commodity Money.

Tn0 DlHeFence DeOHeen AOhoh HAOAOy
ana Commodity Money.
Some Ct our free silver democratic
friends are very tepder on the fiat
money theory, yet they are obliged to
fall back on it in order to support
their position, We note that the most
Of them seem to get their idea Of ulti'
mate redemption money from Harvey,
and evidently maintain that all paper
money should be redeemed in gold OF
silver. Then follows their theory that
1t is the money of ultimate redemption
that fixes prices without reference to
the paper money in existence. Were
it not for the fact that their oppons1ts,
the goldites, were as uneduca.ed on the
principles Of finance as themselves
their argument would not stand mo-
ment before an array Of logic and facts.
There was a time when there was no
money Of ultimate redemption in sight.
What fixed prices then? The fact is
We should have prices without any
money. While money has most to do
with prices, credit has also Its share
Of influence upon them. But as to the
fiat theory. All legal money Is nat.
Fiat means a decree Of law, and applies
to all kinds of money. A great many
people use the word fat ignorantly.
What they really mean is token money
that Is money composed Of material
without intrinsic value-such as paper,
leather, tin or any other cheap ma
terial
Now anything is valuable for what
1t will accomplish. Money is designed
as a medium of exchange. Money
should circulate-that is what 1t Is in
tended for. If man wants to hoard
property he has no right to demand that
1t shall be first stamped as money and
then be taken from circulation and
hid This is the objection to gold and
to some extent to silver. Both are COM
modify money-that Is having both a
legal and commercial value. Therefore
they are both unreliable as money be-
cause they are liable to be boarded or
exported and thus affect the volume OF
currency in circulation and thereby at
feet prices.
1t is not so with token money. 1t
Is redeemable in all things and its one
mission is to assist in making ex-
change of property. 1t is not likely to
be boarded, and If 1t ever finds Its way
out of the country will soon come back.
Its volume depends not upon the
chances of discovery and the laborlous
process of taking it from the ground
but upon the will Of the creator. AS
its creator is composed Of the people
who use It they can be relied upon to
make 1t good. No man who builds a
wagon for his own use will put bad
niece of timber in 1t. 1t Is true that
such money system might interfere
to some extent with the business OF the
banks and those who loan money put
It would be in the interests OF the
great mass of people.
