THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

So much has been written during the
past few weeks. about the Monroe Doe

United States has had abundant oppor,uni-

The very able article in a recent issue OF
the KADIsONIAN, presented fully It's popu-

causes which led to il, it ma! be well for
us to enquire farther.
The Monroe Doctrine was not the crea-
,ion Of any one man, nor was II the creation
OF an hour. 1t was q thoughtful statement
OF a great principle and as such wac 'ormH.

statesmen this country has ever PRODUCES;
a statesman OF ripe thought and full and va.

public trust which he bad held, eminently
fitted him to deal with the great questions
then before the country.

Why cannot our government place
any value it chooses upon metal or

Llnl-How He Stands.

He stands as the country's fathers stood
At Concord and at Breed,
Taking their chances for evil or good
In the overthrow of greed.
He stands as the fathers stood once more
On old Niagara's field, 49,.
Battling again for the flag they bore
And the rights they would not yield.
He stands on the right as he sees the
right,
On the side of his fellow men,
In the greatest strife 'gainst oppression's
might
Since flight of time began.
He stands on the side of toiling throngs
In the circle of the earth,
And he asks the repeal Of the greatest
wrong
Since justice had her birth.
The walls Of the sufferers fill the air,
And the cries cf the toilers in need,
AS they groan under burdens they Cam
not bear,
Made double by Shylock greed.
And he asks that the flag of our nation
shall stand
Again as in days of old,
With its folds protecting the toiler's
hand
AS we'll as the bankers gold.
Stand by! ye men Of patriot heart,
Yet blind through Mammon's deceit,
Stand by! and bear ye patriots part
Where greed and humanity meet.
The cycles move onward once and again.
And freedom is ever new,
And God never made a world OF men
TO be slaves unto the few.

Financial Ca ..echlsm

The annual output Of gold and silver
is small and is hardly 5 per cent of the
present supply, so that it would take
twenty years before the present amount
OF the metals is doubled, and that would
not more than keep pace with the in
crease of the population and wealth of
the world, and especially not OF the Uni
ted States. @.s
What has the wealthtcf a country to
do with the amount Of money it posses
SEES? =
A very great deal, as a moments re-
Election will show. A poor country like
China or Japan needs but a small per
capita circulation of money to MAKE its
exchanges OF property ard to prevent Il
tall or rise in prices; and manlfestly an
old and we'll developed country5of small
area, like France or Germany, will need
less than a new and undevcloped coun-
try of great area like the United States.
Is it not true that the bankers Of our
country generally have plenty Of money
in their vaults which they are unable or
unwilling to lend?
This is true, but shows that money is
dear and commodities cheap. Money
can be borrowed if there is ample secur-
ity, but cannot be bought. II will not
readily exchang for commod ities Of la

THE YARDSTICK LACY
One Of the Goldbug Arguments Disposed
Of.

Minneapolis Times: The persistency
with which the advocates Of the gold
standard employ the yardstick IN illus
trating their idea Of standard OF value
is surprising. To the Times the iliustra-
ton seems to lack applicability It IS 2
fallacy- "a yaristick is used to measure
length, one of the dimensions Of space
an external objective thing that exists
outside Of the mind. Money,if it meas
ures anything. measures ratio, a rela-
ton that exists only in the mind For
exchange value or price,is the expression
or relation between supply and demand
Money itself is subject to this condition
of supply and demand, as is the comno-
dity the price of which money is used to
express. Hence, tits plain, there can be
no safe analogy between the, Offices of a
yardstick and money, and much, if not
all, reasoning based on such analogy is
misleading, not to say dangerous.
~ u
Yardsticks are never exchanged for
the goods which they measure, no one
boards them, no one wants them, while
many hoard and all want money. It is
time that the illustration of the yard
stick was abandoned. It conveys a false
idea and leads to erroneous reasoning. E
Money is in reality a universal COM
modify, and as the supply of it increases
or diminishes will its value increase or
diminish. The yardstick is not COM
modify nor is the quality as a standard
of measurement affected by the supply
of yardsticks in the world.
When one metal that has always been
used for monetary purposes is discarded,
the metal that is retained enhances in
value. We do not see how this propo-
sitlon can be disputed. Money being a
medium of exchange, when the quantity
is reduced to an extent that is markedly
then commerce and business
are crippled to the extent that the medi-
UNI of exchange is crippled.
