Immense Fortunes In Trees.

The timber wealth of the United
States gives yearly product Of over a
billion dollars, or twice the value Of
the entire output Of all the mines put
together-gold, silver. coal. iron, cop
per, zinc and the rest. This is re-
source worth keeping, and yet we are
cutting into our capital at the fearful
rate of Is per cent each year, as only
about 25 per cent Of the timber market
is represented by new growth. AS for
losses from the fires that are started by
locomotives, cattlemen, berry pickers,
hunters and incendiaries, it gives suffi-
cient idea of what they cost us, to be
told by the forestry commissioner Of
Pennsylvania that his state alone prob
ably suffers to the extent of $50, 900, 900
annually from this one cause. Not only

MONEY QUESTION DIvEsTED OF THE
BEwuDERINa ARGUMENTS WHICH BE-
SET IT.
What is money? Simply conven-
fence. In itself it cannot be used as food
or clothing. It is but means to all end.
Man invented money as an accommoda-
ton in the exchange Of necessary COM
modities. He did not do this until COM
MERGE between people, distantly sepa-
rated, made it valuable convenience.
Money is not necessity in the exchange
of the produce of neighbors.
The first money wasnot gold, silver,
copper, nickel, metal of any kind or
even paper. As money itself is a mere
convenience, SO is the selection Of the
substance from which it is made.
Moneys play the same part in COM
MERGE that railroads, wagon roads and
rivers do. They facilitate exchange.
Several means of transportation have
been found desirable; SO have several
forms of money. Each is convenience.
All help mankind.
There is no form Of money that is a
measure of value. A days labor is the
measure Of all values. The amount Of
labor necessary to produce given
amount Of any substance necessary to the
wants of man is alone the measure Of its
value. This is another indisputable fact
and is the arch which supports all finan-
cial systems. It is the basis of commerce.
II it takes five days labor to produce ten
bushels of wheat, that wheat is equal in
value to the amount of silver or Of gold
that can be produced by five days labor.
This is natures measure. It is the only
measure. Any system of finance or COM
merce that does not recognize this mex
orable law is faulty and must prove a
failure.
The substances that have been used
for money have been changed from time
to time as man has found the one more
convenient than the other. Convenience
contemplates value, durability, etc.

Lilith. Adams First Wife.
The old Talmudists had a queer leg
end concerning the first pair created
by the Almighty. According to the
story, Lilith was Adams original
"helpmeet, and Eve was the after con-
sideration. The Talmud says that Lilith
was created just as Adam was-out Of
the dust of the earth. Soon after the
breath of life had been breathed into
her ears (you will remember that the
Bible says ''nostrils'' in Adams CASEY
her enkire nature changed to such an
extent that she became veritable de-
mon. About this time the devil came
along. and, recognizing in Adams wife
al that was necessary to make first
class g0verness of the internal regions,
persuaded her to quit the first man and
60 with him into the upper regions Of
the air." To us this seems like queer
place for the location of hell, hut that
is the direction the pair are said to have
taken when they left Adam as the sole
occupant of the garden. At home with
the king of the sulphurous domain, she
became the mother of devils, and then
deserted Pluto and became "specter Of
darkness. -
After this transformation her sole de-
light appears to have been in the de-
struction of innocent babes. 1t is even
said that our word lullaby" is q cor
ruption of an oriental term, "lilJa abb, ;"
which means ''AvaunC, Or "Begone,

the most convenient of the metals from
which money can be made; hence they
are used. They occupy the exalted posi-
ton Of money metals alone on account
Of their convenience.
The element Of their convenience
which causes disturbance is value. Their
values change. Man has attempted to
prevent this fluctuation by statutory pro-
visions with invariable failure. Why?
Because in his legal enactments he ig-
nored natures measure Of value. IF a
man produces 80 bushels Of potatoes by
one days labor and but one bushel Of
wheat by day labor, the value Of the
one bushel of wheat is equal to the 80
bushels Of potatoes and double that Of 18
Of them. No statutory law can change
this relative value.
- To say that the supply IF silver has
increased is but to state that there is a
good crop of silver; that for a given
number of days labor, delving In the
bowels Of mother earth, an increased
number Of ounces Of silver have been
produced. To say that the supply Of gold
has decreased is but to state the reverse.
- A statutory provision cannot control
the relative value Of two commodities
or the value Of any single commodity.
1t is possible to fix unit of measure by
statute, but a unit Of measure cannot be
made from two different commodities
the relative values Of which inevitably
ductuate.
A unit Of measure of intrinsic value
composed Of two substances is not a me-
cessity, but is mathematical and log
ical absurdity. It is no more ridiculous
than it would be to try to enact and
enforce law that, there being four pecks
in bushel of wheat weighing 60pounds,
therefore there are four pecks or sixty
pounds Of oats in bushel. Neither prop
osition is true. No difference which
money metal is taken as the basis of the
unit, the decision should be based on
convenience. stability Of value and du-
rability the essentials. The unit fixed,
all money metals can be freely used ac-
oording to their real value, taken by ma
lures measure-a days labor. Nothing
else can be done. Much disturbance can
be made by attempting to do something
different, but it will end in failure and
loss, perhaps financial disaster.
= II silver is made the standard metal,
gold will be no less valuable, and vice
versa. The trouble is not that gold is
the standard. but that silver is not nm

because its friends insist on its being

"I6 to 1.n

Comparatively few pc ople understand
the real meaning of "16 to 1" as applied
to the coinage question. Since the sill
yer movement assumed serious phase,
Director OF the Mint Preston has been
nearly swamped with inquiries from
every section of the country, inquiring
what 16 to one meant. His mail av-
erages fifty letters of this character per
day. This morning he had already
received 400 such letters. Of course, it
is utterly impossible for Mr.. Preston to
make personal replies to all these letters.
He, therefore, made the following state

scented, unless by legislation the amount
be limited to American silver only. The
term. Is to I, means that the pure sill
yer in the standard dollar weighs about
16 times as much as the pure gold in the
gold dollar. A silver dollar now con-
tains 371N grains OF silver. while gold
dollar contains 23A grains of gold. At
the time OF establishment OF the United
States minis. congress liked the ratio
between the silver and gold to be used
in the respective coins as fifteen ounces
of silver to one of gold. Later on, it
was found that this ratio placed too
high value on silver and the ratio was
changed to 16 to 1. At that time the
French were using ratio of 1871 to /.
At the present time the value of silver in

A sharp Criticism.

In conversation with a gentle
man few evenings ago, who occasion
ally visites our city, ne remarked that
Sank Centre was the only town on this
route where little boys and girls were
seen playing on the streets as late as ten
O'Clock at night. He spoke of several
villages and cities that had "curfew"
ordinance prohibiting children under the
ages OF sixteen years appearing on the
streets after $50 O'Clock at night unless
accompanied by their parents or guar
dian. It certainly seems az though
parents ought to care enough about
the future of their boys and girls to look
after them and not make it necessary to.
pass ordinances to keep their children!
where they belong. Nine-tenths Of all
the crimes committed are conceived
under the cover of darkness and the veryE
beginning can be traced back to a gath
ering of boys or girls ii.some back alley.
where profanity and obscene language
was INDUCED in. It is perfectly natural
tor parents to think that their children
are nearly perfect, but believe that If
they would investigate and quietly over
hear some of the language used while
their boys and girls are playing hide,
and-seek in the alleys Gas they can be
found at O'Clock and after almost any
night in our village) they would be
surprised.
Parents who allow their little bows
and girls to run at large late at night
on the streets. have no one to blame but
themselvesif their children bring them
dishonor and shame at an early age. 1t
saduty parents owe to:themselves, their
children and society. to use every effort
to remove them from evil influences and
temptation while they are young. II the
parents are Indifferent as to the future
OF their children, the authorities for the
reputation of the village if nothing else.
should take steps to keep the children
off the streets at night.
