Congressional Record, vol. %, part Ill
as follows:
e'f dispute the power of the president
of the United States, of his own mo-
ton and without the assistance of
congress, to recognize belligerency be-
tween two foreign governments, be-
caase the president Of the United
States has no right. by his proclama-
ton. TO change the commercial and
other relations between the people of
this country and the people of for
eign country But being the repre-
sentative Of the United States, in vir-
tue of its sovereignty as affects for
eisu countries. he has the right to
recognize the Independence of a for
eigr country, because that recogni-
ton had no effect on our people It
does not change our relation to that
country in the slightest degree. It
does not compel us to pursue COM
merce under laws which regulate war
instead of laws which regulate peace. .
Senator White and Gray having
still further pressed their questions,
asking if he denied the right of the
president to recognize belligerency
Senator Morgan made the following
statement:

allow me, / again distinctly admit and
assert that the president of the United
States has the exclusive right to recog-
nize the independence of a foreign

Vanderbilt Improving.

New York, Dec. 23.-Cornelius Van
derbilt is rapidly recovering from the
stroke of paralysis from which he suf-
fered last summer. He is now able To
use his right arm, which was most ser
iously affected. while the rest of his
body is declared to be in almost normal
condition again. Mentally he is said to
be as bright and clear as ever. He ex-
ercises a great deal and walks and
rides at times when the weather is not
unfavorable. He will probably never
attempt again to attend to business, at
least not so closely as he had done for
years before this sharp warning that
body and brain required rest.

1t remains now. in conclud-
ing this series, to consider the
maintenance of the right volume
OF money. The plan here suggested
is not original. It was first rough
ly sketched by the writer five years
ago, but since in modified form
has been developed and given con-
siderable notoriety by others. The
method is now presented in the
most meagre outline. 1t is still
incomplete, nor is it claimed to be
the best that can be devised: but it in
PRODUCES no new idea ofgovernment
and is not an impracticable pro-
position. On the contrary it is easy
of application, it suggests the
right principle; it comes within the
comprehension of the most Obtuse
intelligence, and is consistent with
monetary science, progressive ideas
and the utmost demands Of Justice.
The constitution declares that
congress shall have power to coin
money and regulate the value
thereof. How, under the economic
law that value depends upon the
ratio of supply and demand, can
government regulate the value of
money with that honesty and sta
bi]ity essential to common justice,
except through control of the vol
ume? And what arbitrary process
can be superior to the natural
method here proposed by which

And sleep at night with SILVER and cramp,
Like brute in barn or shed
@, life is game in devils ring
Where one in thousand wins,
But death must be jolly thing,
For skeleton always grins.
We ask for work, we ask for bread,
And they manacle our feet,
And march us out to the chain gang tread
TO work on the city street.
O God, when was it crime before
TO make paupers appeal?
God pity the tramp and pity the poor
What can we do but steal?
One way is open lis open to all
We can flee this horrible strife
A little powder, a little ball,
Will end this nightmare life.
O. welcome death, and welcome hell,
Or heaven, if that may be,
He made the prince, and the tramp as WE'LL
And He will welcome me-

constant relation
between supply and demand

maintaining constant relation
between supply and demand.
In comparing two quantities, if
one is constant their ratio varies as
the other. In the problem of price
we have comparison Oftwo ratios.
One is the ratio of supply and de-
mand for money, the other the sup
ply and demand for products.
Price is the ratio of these
two ratios. It is right and
just that prices vary with the
ratio of supply and demand for
products; but that variatio in the
supply and demand for money
should affect prices is uni Just and
unnatural. If potatoes are scarce
they should be high; if abundant,
low; but why should they be low
because Of something entirely un-
connected with the potato market?
In our present commercial chaos
we often behold the anomaly of
short crop and low prices. Why?
Because money, in which their
value is measured, is so COrnered
that prices represent the condition
of the market not for produce, but
for money. Prices cannot vary
with the ratio between supply
and demand for products unless
the other member of the COmpar-
ison--the ratio between supply and
demand for money-be constant.
The variation in the supply ratio
of money amounts to the same
thing as would variations in the
standards by which quantities Of
product are measured. How long
would you swap products with
fellow whose hushel measure was
big when you marketed your crop
and small when you purchased your
supplies? Or buy cloth from
merchant whose yard stick varied
in length according to the digestion
of a hook-nosed miser 5000 miles
towards the up-cOming sun?
If business men had a moiety of
the sagacity they assume, not for
one moment would they tolerate
the outrageous m0nkeying with
the measure of value indu1ged in
by the vultures of "feenaunce." Did
they see this thing in it's true light,
a roar would go up that would
frighten the nanipulatOrs into
their bank vaults for protection, or
make absolutely necessary sud-
den trip to where in very truth
their money would need to be good
in "Yurrup."
For measure of weight we have
the pound, for length the foot, for
time the hour, and from generation
to generation these never vary:
But the dollar, the measure of
value, is guilty of the grossest in
Justice. It is unscientifC, arbitrary,
dishonest and devoid of common
sense. 1t is never stable. How
can it be since it's production is a
matter of chance, uncertain and, to
say nothing of it's manipulation by
the bank combine, subject to more
vicissitudes than any staple prod
