molasses. Roads are actually being
constructed with the syrups which are
valueless as sugar producers, the life
having been extracted. The molasses is
used as a cement, the body Of the road
being made up Of fine gravel This new
method was first used on the road lead
ing from the country road to the sugar
iG2tory, and travel over this thorough
fare since the opening of the sugar
season has demonstrated the value OF
syrups and gravel as materials for the
improving Of roads. The piece of road
that has been so improved is as hard
as the best Of macadam, and even the
heaviest loaded wagons do not cut 1t
up. The syTups are first poured over
the roadway to be improved, and then
layer Of gravel is sprlnkled on. More
syrups and gravel follow in their turns
until the road Is in perfect condition.
There seems to be just sufficient potash
salt In the molasses to give 1t the neces-
sary cementing qualities. At first the
molasses showed tendency to ooze up
through the gravel, but the application
OF an extra coating of gravel remedied
this, and made the road as smooth as a
floor.

If three times the quantity of all money
at present in circulation was added to the
volume in gold or silver or of legal tender
greenbacks, the same amount of business
would be transacted. Not one iota of
difference in the volume of trade would
be noticed, as long as the money remain
ed in the country. If of gold the money
would leave the country much sooner
because of the greater demand by other
nations to use in manufacturing money
for their own use. Trade and industry
consequently would be sustained much
longer by either of the other two moneys
than by the gold. The power to tran
sact business, dollar for dollar, is the same
always. 1t is the number of legal tender
dollars that does the business and not any
imaginary soundness" which one United
States dollar has more than another.
They are all 'sound' alike Make the
volume of legal tender money to cores
pond with the volume of trade, and trade
will take care of ITSELF The medium to
transfer, divide and distribute the value
of property is money, full legal tender
money, law made money, fiat money.
The material it is composed of does not
matter. The grand desideratum is it
must be money. Bank credit will not do
it, and will inevitably break down at the
critical moment.
Money is the Medium by which 5aluf
of the products of labor is transferred
from person to person, and po7oey is the
medium by which the products are trans
ferred from place to place. 1t matters not
from what source that power is derived.
1t may be by the OK, the mule, the horse,
steam or electricity. 1t must be power
and sufficient to move the articles; SO also
the transfer of valne must be by money
and sufficient quantity of money. So
the trite saying of Harrison that one dollar
shall be as good as any other dollar is a
truism, and always will be as good for the
purpose which money is designed.
AS the builders built wiser than they

he knew. What the President meant,
was that gold should be the only standard
dollar and every "other dollar" which
was not redeemable in gold at the option
of the creditor should cease to be good
dollar or Sound dollar" This is an
effort to place the commodity value of
metal above the legal tender function
of money, endowing the owners of gold
with power superior to the sovereign
power of government. And this is the
goldite's theory of money; falser theory
never was attempted to be established
even by Satan.

eminent. Well then let the States coin

Well what did Daniel Webster say in the

stitutional standard of value is established

it would shake the whole system. Gold
and silver at rates fixed by congress,

the standard fixed i'll other countries, and
neither congress nor any State has

A Book for Farmers.
E. MOVES.

| Mr.. H. E. Taubeneck, Chairman of the
Peoples Party National Committee, has
written little book comprising facts
drawn from the Census Reports and other
documents which every farmer ought to
read. 1t costs only 10 cents. In lieu of
our own review of the work we subjoin
from the Sitter Knight the following
| notice
We acknowledge the receipt of little
book of sixty-three pages entitled THE
Condition of the American Farmer" by
H E. Taubeneck. 1t shows that the
average income of the individual men,
bers of the families of farmers is much
less than the average cost of maintaining
convicts and paupers at public expense.
1t also shows that as the production per
capita of farm products decreases the price
of such products also declines. This ex-
hibits the fallacy of production as
cause of the decline of prices. Ifit were
over-production there would be an increase
per capita of products, followed by the
corresponding decline of prices; but
decrease per capita of products would
necessarily increase the price. After
having shown these facts, and also the
rapid increase of the percentage of tenant
farmers and the gradual destruction ofthe
independent farmers of the United States,
Mr.. Taubeneck shows most conclusively
that these lamentable results are caused
by diminution of the supply of money.
That diminution i'll this country comes
from two sources, the retirement of gov
eminent paper circulating as money and
the decentralization of silver. Duringssthe
war nearly all of the public debt was used
as circulating medium. When the war
closed this debt was absorbed by investors,
largely foreign, and taken out of eircula-,
ton. Four millions month of the green
backs were also retired, while the demand
for money was increased at least 33B pei.
cent by the restoration of the Union,
which brought under the jurisdiction of
the United States the eleven Confederate
States. But the great cause OF d1mlnutlon
i'll the quantity of money was occasioned
by the rejection of silver as money
metal and combining the standard money
of the civilized world to gold alone. Mr.
Taubeneck calls attention to the elemen-
tary principle of political economy which
recognizes the fact that the money in cir
culation and the property to be exchanged
for money are reciprocally the supply and
demand Of each other, and that the
destruction of one-half of the worlds
money has produced a corresponding
decline in general prices. He says:
At least 80 per cent of the depreciation in the
price of farm products is due to the increased
purchasing power of the dollar caused by a change
in our financial system.

Everybody has heard the old saying Of
swapping the devil for witch. The new
school-book law appears to be something
after that order. The county furnishes
the books but there is no provision for
furnishing the necessary stationery such
as states pencils, pens, paper and ink.
Under the old law for a dollar term
everything was furnished, with discre-
tionary power lodged with the School
Commissioners to omit payment of the
book fee by those whom they considered
not able to pay the fee. The law may be
construed to mean all needful articles
shall be free as we'll as strictly printed
books. Otherwise the change will very
much resemble that noted trade.
