Value Of Confidence.

First of all, we should have stable
unit. The unit now existing III this
country is the golS dollar. Bank notes,
greenbacks, silver coin and silver GER
tificates may circulate alongside Of it
only so long as the confidence remains
that, whenever their holders please,
they may exchange them for this unit
on the basis of their face value. An in
crease of any form Of money to point
where this exchangeability becomes
doubtful destroys confidence and there
fore leads not to an increase but to
contraction of money. Many suggestions
made to increase wealth, such as free
coinage of silver, unlimited printing of
greenbacks, issuance Of paper money
against real estate and farm products
W fact, all those suggestions that can
,e summarized as "the cry for more
money! without regard to its soundness
that is, its exchangeability for the
gold unit-would, if, carried out, de-
stroy confidence; and therefore decrease
wealth and impede the development and
prosperity Of the country.-Adolf La
denburg in January Forum.

How to Mako Preserved Pumpkin Chips.
An old time and always good sweet
meat is preserved pumpkin chips. To
prepare them select ripe pumpkin OF
q deep yellow, color and cut it into
strips, pare off the outside rind and re-
move the seeds. Cut the strips into thin
shavings, weigh them, and to each
pound of the shavings allow pound OF
granu]ated sugar. Place the shavings
and the sugar in porcelain lined ket-
tie, with the juice of 8 lemons to each
pound of fruit, and add to this quar-
ter of pound Of. ginger root to 8 pounds
Of fruit. Wash. scrape and cut the gin
ger root into thin pieces. Cover and let
it remain over night. In the morning
put over the fire and cook slowly until
the pumpkin becomes tender and clear.
Stir as little as possible to avoid break
ing the pieces. When the pumpkin chips
are sufficiently cooked, skim out care
fully and put in jars or glasses. Strain
the liquor through fine wire sieve and
pour over them. Cover when cold.

, ALLEGED Fall of Prices.

It is said <<::,st the single gold standard
has produced a disastrous fall in the
prices of commodities. Prices Of com.
modities must be either advancing OF
declining or stationary. The world has
no experience Of stationary prices and
probably never will have. Therefore
those who cry out against declining
prices must he in favor Of advancing
ones, but how far they would push the
advance they do not say. Is there any
limit to the desirable advance? If so,
what is to be done when it is reached
AS prices cannot be stationary. there
must, then, be decline. So we do not
avoid misery by gratifying the bimetal'
lists. We only postpone it.-Horace
White in "Money and Banking"

logically denounce the wicked iron and
powder power for the lives lost in battle
as to blame the material used for money
for the inequalities in social conditions.
Except in so far as industry is checked
by the agitation for debased silver and

nection with idleness and poverty. And
in no case is any one the slightest de-
gree poorer because Of the imaginary

MONEY EXPRESSES NO ONE.

Notwithstanding the False Doctrine
Preached by tho Populists.
The National Waterman, an organ Of
the Populist party, advocates free coin

ing classes. In q recent editorial The
Watchman says, 1.-THE power Of money
to Cypress, through the reduction Of tho
price of labor and its products, is the
ruling factor in all the distress now seen
in this country"
This representation Of money as some
thing which Expresses and INJURIES the
people is responsible for the Populist be-
lief that idleness and poverty are due to
the wickedness Of an imaginary "money
power" But though this doctrine is
zealously preached by the free coinage
orators and press, it is nothing but de-
fusion, pure and simple. There is not
now, nor has there ever been, an oppres-
sive money power" for the sufficient
reason that there is no possible way in
which money can Cypress any one. OF
itself money is an inert thing, which
only serves some useful purpose when
loaned out or put into circulation. The
owner of money cannot compel any one
to borrow it, and therefore does not op
press those who find it profitable to pay
interest for its use. The man who puts
money inc circulation by exchanging it
for goods or services employs labor and
Injuries no one. An owner of money who
refuses to lend or spend it loses interest
on it and Injuries only himself.
The idea that money reduces both the
price Of labor and Of labor products is as
absurd as to say that heat expands and
contracts water. A decline in the price
Of products is equal to an increase in the
price paid for labor, since the working
man can buy more goods with his wages.
But apart from this contradiction, it is
not true that money reduces the price Of
labor. Wages depend on the total pro-
duction Of wealth by the workers, being
high where production is great and low
where it is email. Money has nothing to
do with real wages.
The fiction Of an expressing money
power is as far from fact as would be
tho assertion that iron and gunpowder
