TRICKING THE PEOPLE

Major Mckinley says 1t would be bet
ter to open the mills to the general en-
ployment Of labor than to open the mints
to the free coinage of silver. The soph-
istry of such reasoning is glafing. AS a
matter Of fact, the percentage Of mills
and factories that have stood idle during
the last three years is no greater than the
percentage that shut down during other
business panics in the past quarter Of
century; besides, there is now a SUBJ
stantial revival of business in all lines
of industry and trade, and with every
day comes greater opportunity for en-
ployment. OF course, Mckinley says
that is because his election is assured,
which gives strength and confidence to
the business situation, but since in no
event could a new tariff act become op-
erative for three or more years, 1t does
not appear wherein Major McKinley's
candidacy exerts any influence upon
current business affairs.
Major Mckinley knows that he gross
ly misrepresents the situation every time
he opens his mouth to address a visit
ing delegation, but the worst of it is he
Is not adroit enough to cover up his
purpose. The other day he told dele
cation Of workingmen that the prosper
ity of the people of this country under
protection between 1880 and 1890 was
Aever equaled by any people in the
world; but he forgot to mention the fact
that that was before the mckinley tar
iff" was heard of, and when tariff act
not materially different from the Wilson,
German law was in operation.
Mr.. Mckinley is very fond of talking
about how the act which bore his name
provided so handsomely for the gov
ernment's expense account, but it SO
happens that the official figures Of the
treasury department prove that his
schedule of customs and excise duties
fell short by about $75, ZOO, 900 of collect
ing enough to provide for the legitimate
expenditures of the nation. The only
feature or provision of the Mckinley
act that was not positively injurious to
this country was the provision 1t made
for reciprocal trade relations with other
countries; but large international
trade was built up under that provision
only because reciprocity is free trade.
Since the repeal of the Mckinley act
the tin-plate industry has increased
from four to thirty-siX factories; the
woolen mills have turned out more fin
ished product than in any other like
period in the history of the country,
the product of iron has increased 25 per
cent over the most active former three
years. and very many other industries
have Jared equally well. But, of course,
Major Mckinley, as are all other Re-
publican speakers, is under positive in
structions to talk tariff or anything else
that will divert public attention from
the money question. He cannot refute
single argument of the advocates of
free silver coinage; besides, nearly ev-
cry leading Republican is on record as
favoring the reconciliation Of silver.
The funny part of 1t all is that Hanna
gets the bulk of his campaign slush
from the money syndicates and money
investors, instead of from the industries,
as is generally supposed. Hanna is
tricking the people.

ILLOGICAL PROJECTIONS rs

Whatever may be the result Of the
man to man controversy about money,
which has drawn into it's vortex nearly
every enfranchised citizen of the United
States, as well as heavy percentage of
the residue of the people, distinct gain
Of enlightenment touching the science
Of government and political economy
will have come to this great republic.
Believers in the doctrine of protection
ism are fewer today than at any time
since the Morrill, tariff for war purposes.
The arguments adduced by Republicans
themselves in defense of the gold stand
ard have compelled them to ques-
ton the legitimacy of tariff
for protection and in so doing
they have perceived for the first time
that in logic they have answered them
selves. When they lay down the prop
osition that 1t is dishonest, immoral, for
government to enhance the value of sill
yer by act OF congress they must admit
that 1t is equally immoral to enhance
the selling price of any other commod-
ity by act Of congress. If the imposition
Of a tariff for protection has any other
aim or object than securing
to domestic manufacturers the home
market and thus the elevation in price
Of the articles covered by the tariff
schedules The Herald has never heard
Of it. Indeed the equities are all with
silver as against the tariff shielded COM
modities, for In the proposition to en-
hance silver is involved the stimulation
of market values all along the line,
whereas the selection of a limited num-
ber Of special interests for the exercise
of governmental favoritism is discrim-
nation so rank and palpable as to be alb
horrent to any Just mind.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF MONEY

Supply and demand control prices,
and the transfer Of ownership is made
on the basis of equivalency. Money is
commodity, but 1t differs from all
other merchantable commodities be-
Moreover, money being a common arti-
Gle of barter. 1t necessarily assumes the
right to be a measure of values. Thus
Mr.. A. possesses a given quantity Of
potatoes which he wants to exchange
for turnips. Mr.. B. has the turnips
and wants to dispose of them, but he
does not want to exchange them for
anything in particular and certainly
not for potatoes. To dispose of his po-
tatoes and at the same time put himself
In a position where he can secure B.
turnips. A. carries his potatoes to Mr.
c., who exchanges money for all arti-
cles Of trade. At Mr.. C.'s he ascertains
that he can exchange his potatoes for
money on the basis of 81 for a bushcl
Of potatoes. He finds, too, that Mr.. c.
will exchange 81 for two bushels of tur-
nips. The relative value of potatoes
and turnips has thus been fixed and A.
knows that when he hands B. the COM
mon article Of exchange which he got
for his potatoes he will receive twice as
many bushels of turnips for 1t. But sup
pose that after A. and B. have ascer-
tanned what amount Of the common
article Of exchange, money, can be had
for given quantity of potatoes and Of
turnips, B. concludes that he needs po-
tatoes and he makes the exchange with
a. direct, leaving C. out of the trans
action altogether, what is C.'s relation
to the transaction? Only that his COM
mon article of exchange measured the
relative market value of potatoes and
turnips and thus fixed a basis for A.
and B. to exchange their commodities
without employing money at all. That
is to say, C.'s common article of ex-
change determined what quantity of
potatoes were the equivalent of a given
quantity Of turnips without itself par
ticipating in the transaction, but on the
next day the cbannnon article of ex-
change might establish the equivalency
upon an exactly reverse basis because
the supply and demand had changed.
There could be no irnmovable lines of
value, 4 & # 80 X@

not on Santa Monica bay, has, to US. a

agreed to build a harbor costing some

awaiting the decision of commission

take to construct a harbor in competi-

presented his annual report, which
showed the order to be in prosperous
condition, considering the business de-

The other reports were left for later

next encampment. The claims Of Buf.
falo and her promises to care for the
visitors, if given an opportunity, were
presented by Comrade Smith, who IL
