Tried to Dig Out of Jail.

An attempted escape of three
prisoners at the county Jail at New
Castle was discovered and frustrated,
last week. The men who made the
attempt were Samuel Gurley, serving
five years sentence for manslaughter;
John Dougherty, under sentence OF
Imprisonment for life for murder in
the second degree, and James Devine,
in for three years for assault.
The men had made hole in the
Jail wall, working from cell No. 16,
when Wardens Lindsey and Foster
were attracted by the noise of their
operations. They summoned assist
ance and rushed into the cell.
The men showed fight at first, but
were soon subdued and placed in
irons. The prisoners were working
with two small knives, a plane bit and
a wooden mallet, but it is not known
how they obtained these implements.

A Squire Sent to Jail.

John McOwen, a Justice Of the
Peace in Kingston township, was tax
en- into court on Friday morning on
an attachment. McOwen was sub
poenaed to be in court on a case to
be heard on Thursday, and when he
was subpoenaed he told the server of
the subpoena that he would not come
unless he was paid $2.5o. Upon beng
brought before Judge Lynch he was
asked if he had any reason to offer for
not appearing, and said that he want
ed his pay before he came to court
and thought he did not have to come
till he got it. Judge Lynch then said:
"You are magistrate and ought to at
least comply with the law yourself.
The sentence of the court is that you
pay fine of $25." McOwen said he
would not pay. He will have to stay
in jail for three months if he persists
in his refusal.

LIVE QUESTIONS.
A Series of Articles Contributed to These
Columns by Advanced Thinkers.

COINAGE CoNFUsIoN-FRsT PRINCIPLES
AND COMMON SENSE APPLIED-THE
MONEY QUESTION DIvEsTED OF THE
BEwILDERING ARGUMENTS WHICH BE-
SET 1T.
What is money? Simply conven-
ience. In itself it cannot be used as food
or clothing. 1t is but means to an end.
Man invented money as an accommoda-
tion in the exchange of necessary COM
modities. He did not do this until com
uRrce between people, distantly sepa-
rated, made it valuable convenience.
Money is not q necessity in the exchange
of the produce of neighbors.
The first money was not gold silver,
copper, nickel, metal of any kind or
even paper. As money itself is mere
convenience, so is the selection of the
substance from which it is made.
Moneys play the same part in COM
merce 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. 1t is the basis of commerce.
If 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. 1t is the only
measure. Any system Of finance or COM
merce that does not recognize this mex
orable law is faulty and must prove u
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.
Gold, silver, nickel and copper are now
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1896-04-16

the most convenient of the metals from
which money can be made hence they
are used. They occupy the exalted posi-
tion 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 q
man produces 32 bushels Of potatoes by
one days labor and but one bushel of
wheat by days labor, the value of the
one bushel of wheat is equal to the 32
bushels of potatoes and double that of 16
Of them. No statutory law can change
this relative value.
To say that the supply of silver has
increased is but to state that there is a
good crop Of silver; that for 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 unit of measure cannot be
made from two different commodities
the relative values Of which inevitably
fuctuate
A unit of measure of intrinsic value
composed Of two substances is not ne
cessity, but is mathematical and log
ical absurdity 1t 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 go pounds,
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-
cording to their real value, taken by ma
ture's 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.
If 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 un-
limitedly accepted as money. That it is
not unlimitedly accepted as money is
because its friends insist on its being
unlimitedly accepted at more than its
value, measured by natures measure
(by the only possible measure).
Is not coinage unnecessary and the
cause of confusion in the minds of
many? The earlier moneys did not pos
sess intrinsic value. But very small
portion of the present circulating me-
dium has any intrinsic value. This
could not be otherwise.
There is not enough of the precious
metals to supply the money for the com
meroe of the world. 1t Us not probable
that there ever can be. If there was,
the element of convenience would pre-

ANOTHER DISTURBANCE.
Members of Father Aust's Congregation
Force Their Way Into the School
halI...Arrests Will Follow.

There was another clash yesterday at
st. Mary's Polish church on the South
Side. between Rev. Father Aust and the
members of the parish who want to
dethrone him. The priest stated in an
interview last night with Tribune re-
porter that patience has ceased to be a
virtue, and he proposes to invoke the
aid of the law to punish those who
participated In yesterdays transaction.
One of the oppositionists burst in the
door of the school hall and another
fOrcibly climbed through window. Fa-
ther Aust said he will have the men
arrested, but will first have confer
ence with Bishop O'Hara. and unless
the bishop advises him to the contrary
the warrants will be sworn out.
After late mass Joseph Nytch came to
Father Aust and asked for the key to
the school hall. The request was re-
fused. After dinner Father Aust drove
to Clark's Summit on a sick call, and
in his absence members of the congre-
cation forced their way into the hall
and held "a meeting. The object of it
was to raise money TO defray the eX-
penses of the various committees that
have been sent backward and forward
to Bishop O'Hara and Bishop Hoban.
A collection of S110O was taken up and
after that the meeting adjourned.
Later in the afternoon Daniel Lam
gowska. employed on the Tygondik, got
into a encounter with young man who
upholds the priest and Langowska' s
face was severly battered.
