A RULE IN FINANCE.

In recent issue of the American
Grange Bulletin, Mortimer Whitehead,
lecturer of the national Grange, says:
Here is a rule or law which is as old
rs civilization, as old as political econ
omy, as old as money: The sum of all
the money in the world measures the
sum of all other property,-land, pro-
ducts, etc, etc.
Double the volume of money, you
double the value of products.
A., Divide the volume of money, and you
divide the value of products.
Divide the volume of money and you
divide the debt.
Double the volume of.money and you
divide the debt.
According to the last census, the
value of all the property in the United
States is S65, 900, 900, 900, and the vol
ume of money in circulation, as stated
by the secretary of the treasury, jan
uary 1, 1894, is 81, 729, ols, 26s We then
have $3.50 worth of property for
every dollar in money; that is, the re-
lation or ratio of money to property
Is to 1888. An act of congress which
would destroy one-half our money
would squeeze $37. SO worth of property
into s1s.79 of money, and there goes
$1,000 out of a $4,000 farm.
If u man had sold his farm in 1873
Cor $40, 900 and buried his money deep
into the earth, or, as men do, place it
at interest, with one-third of his $780,
600 he can to-day purchase the same
farm. If this man has gained 10000
and the interest on S30.0OO for twenty
years, theh certainly the man who
purchased the farm has lost $50, 900 of
his purchase money and the interest
on $4,000. If the man who sold the
farm for $40, 900 in 1873 had placed it
ut interest at six per cent, it would
amount to more than $4,000 in 1896,
with interest annually added to prin-
cipal. If the one man gained through
the appreciation of money and inter
est more than $40, 900 net, the man who
purchased has certainly lost an equal
sun. The vicious legislation which
has destroyed one-half the real money,
has made money monarch, while in
hustry and production have become
beggars on the face of the earth.

"The gold single standard is in
American idea, yielded so reluctantly
by France and other countries where
gold and silver are the standard of
value. The annual supply of the pre-
cious metals has little or nothing to do
with their value What is it, then,
that affects their value chiefly? Is it
the demand? What is it that consti-
tutes the demand for gold? Is it for
the use in the arts? Very little of it
can be used. Therefore, it is its use
as money that creates demand for il

TOO MUCH OF THEM.

The Chicago Times Herald, the espe-
cial organ of Mr.. Mckinley and Mark
Hanna, says that farm products are
low because there is too much of
them" This will be interesting news
to thousands upon thousands of people
of this country. The Times-Herald
seemingly mistakes under consumpt-
ion for over production 1t is under
consumption that is troubling the coun,
try just now, and the cause of under
consumption is the inability of the peo-
pie to buy, If money was common
article today, instead of an uncommon
article; if the people could earn the
money that they are anxious and will
ing to earn, the prices of farm products
would jump up at an amazing rate
While the Times-Herald is declaring
that there are too many farm products
there are thousands upon thousands of
empty stomachs in Chicago, and their
owners are unable to satisfy their
cravings. Why are they unable to do
so? For the simple reason that the
money they are so anxious to earn
has hidden itself away. 1t has been
made the speculative commodity of an
organized band of conscien celess
money grabbers who are willing that
all but themselves may starve if only
hey can profit by their nefarious
schemes.
The man who has house full of lit
tie ones cannot be made to believe
that there arc too many farm products
There is no logic or argument that can
convince him that there is too much to
eat in the country. The inexorable
law of condition tells him that there is
too little for him, and he measures the
supply by his ability to get share of
it. The farmer who gazes at the re-
suits of an Improbable seasons work
will not believe he has raised too much
of food products as long as he reads in
the Times-H Herald and other news
papers of the hunger and distress that
abounds all over the country. All that
he can see is that he must suffer be-
cause condition exists that prevents
those who need his products from pur-
chasing them.
The professor of political economy
who writes financial editorials for the
Times Herald rubs his we'll filed stom-
ach and imagines that all his fellows
have dined. Having plenty and to
spare for himself he imagines that
there is plenty and to spare for all.
That is why he says there are too
many farm products. If all the hun
CRY of the United States were regular.
ly fed all they needed the prices of
farm products would be increased
greatly. But the people have not the
money and cannot secure it with which
to buy, and as result farm products
are low and people go hungry. The
Times-Herald's theory may be all right
but practical knowledge of every day
affairs proves that It does not know
what it is talking about. World Her

A SUGGESTION.

People living in the western states
who have relatives or friends back at
the old home in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio,
or any of the middle or eastern states
have little idea of the value they can
be to the cause of silver in the matter
of educating and making votes for Bry-
an by simply writing about it and
sending local papers and literature TO
the ''old folks at home" Allen w.
Clark, chairman of the Indiana Silver
Learue, says he considers this one of
the most effective methods by which
the people of his state, for long time
under the influence of a gold standard
metropolitan press, were made first to
tolerate, than to investigate, under
stand and finally to espouse the cause
of silver restoration. "a letter from a
loved SON or brother living in the west
detailing the absolute necessity to the
western states of silver restoration and
explaining how soon and inevitably a
similar condition will confront, indeed
is already confronting, the middle
states" says Mr.. Clark, ''will find an
entree into the homes the hearts and
conscience of the father or the brother
living further east that no regular
campaign document could possibly
secure. And if it is backed up by accu-
rate and tactfully put printed data,
furnished in such abundance by the
local press, it will make more votes in
proportion to the labor and expense
involved and the number of persons
addressed than any other sort of prop
gaanda work that has come under nv
observation. If you owe q letter to
folks "back home" sit down and write
it now and remember the suggestion.
