HANNA AT ST. LOUIS

The reverence which the professional
politician, or even the amateur, feels for
the successful representative of the
trade is as deep as that accorded to the
leader in the highest art or profession.
This has been exhibited in an amusing
way by the admiration. amounting to
positive awe, which has been manifested
in ST. Louis during the past week for
Mark Hanna, the manager of the Nc
Kinley campaign. Here is specimen
scene, which an Enquirer man wit
messed, and doubtless it had been du-
plicated many times during the days of
preparatory activity preceding the con-
vention. 1t was in the headquarters of
the Ohio delegation at the Southern ho-
tel. The room was filled with lounging
Buckeyes, all wearing their hats, many
smoking and the rest gathered in groups
talking. At the further end of the
apartment was door. behind which
dwelt the Great Presence-that is to say,
Mr.. Mark Hanna. A fine-looking gray
haired man, who might be Judge or a
colonel, guarded the door, and allowed
none to pass except those whom Mr..
Hanna wished to see. and these were
evidently few. Neither did many try
to enter; they would as soon have
thought of penetrating the veil of the
temple. Suddenly the door opened and
a large squarely- built man of 55 or co,
with 1ron-gray hair and clean-shaven
face, stepped out 1t was Hanna, and
the immediate manifestation of rever-
ence was funny to see. The buzz of con-
Versation stopped at once and hats
were pulled off as if it were profana-
tfon to wear them in the presence of
Mr.. Hanna. There We're in the room

1t is intended to secure silver monomet-
allism in place of gold monometallism.
The error into which this interesting
thinker and brilliant debater has fallen
is that silver is, can be or ever has been
an ultimate measure of value. 1t is
itself measured by the gold standard
here and everywhere, now and at all
times just as other commodities are SIM
ilarly measured in gold We hear of
silver as valued at one time as to l, at
another 10 to |, again 151a to l or 20 to l
or 32 to l. The unit of value upon which
1t is measured is the gold unit. This is
a demonstration that silver is not
standard measure of value. The unit
upon which it is measured is 1, and that
one is gold The unit remains the same
while silver fluctuates about it, Inter-
national trade during the historic period
has, according to all the records at my
command been done on the gold stand
ard. The unit of value has been gold.
This unit has been more often uncoined
than coined. No laws have ever modi-
fled this gold standard by which all 9TH
er values are measured. 1t may be pre-
, mature to say that laws regulating
money have never done good. but have
always added an unnecessary element
of uncertainty to exchange. The weight
of evidence is that laws on money have
done harm and not done good. If inter
national trade has gone on from time
immemorial without a legal tender, a
legal standard or any attempted control
of credits it seems reasonable to pre-
sumo that people left to itself in any
country would have S happy an eXenp
tion from quarrels about money as has
had the world trade.
The present embarrassment of the
United States treasury would probably
not exist if the income tax had not been
nullified by the supreme court. Neither
would it exist had not the resources of
the government been so long and so law
ishly used to support silver by the pur-
chase of this metal.
According to the April number of Liv
ing Topics the United States now has in
silver money: Silver standard dollars,
$423, ,2S9 629 subsidiary, $7S,573,S72; sill
Yer certificates $345, 1894, 5O4; total, $S47,-
S5S, ,0O5
The extraordinary action and unpre-
cedented expenditure to procure this sill
yer has come close to costing us one bill
lion dollars. Their direct cost is far ex-
The herald., 1896-06-21

The raising of values nominally by
lowering the standard of the measure
of value has been tempting field for
noble, king and despot. One prince af-
ter another in one era after another has
tried to make himself and, perhaps, his
country rich by debasing his coinage or
lowering his standard of value. The
whole of these prolonged and oft re-
peated experiments have been failures.
The worlds money Of account simply
became a unit value of metal of GER
tain weight and fineness and was not
coined. The coins were not reliable and
were not considered in contracts and
only taken in large way by weight and
test. The worlds records show that the
metal of the measure of value was al
ways gold. The unit of the money of
account has always been gold. There
is no record in civilized countries of any
other measure of value. Countries MAX
ing their exchanges by notes and coun-
tries making their exchanges by silver
are on gold standard as clearly as
countries with an officially recognized
gold standard. The only difference is
that in the one case gold circulates and
its fluctuations alone modify expressed
value, while in the other cases this
source of change in price remains, and
in addition we have the fluctuations in
the credit of the country, where notes
are used, and of silver metal, where sill
Yer is used, in expressing value. The ell
ement of uncertainty must be augment
ed in these cases The utility of both
silver and credit in facilitating exchange
is undoubtedly great. Credit is indis-
pensable in large transactions. But it
is clear that every element of uncertain
ty in the medium of exchange value will
add an insurance figure to guard against
these uncertainties. This insurance,
while perhaps adding a gamblers gain
to the middleman must reduce returns
to laborer and producer.
Mr.. Harvey of Coins Financial School
IN his definition of scientific bimetal-
lisln, says in Gold and Silver: THE
silver dollar of 371A grains of pure sill
Yer to be the unit of value, and gold to
be coined into money at a ratio to be
changed if necessary from time to time
if the commercial parity to the legal ra-
ito shall he affected by the action of
foreign countries"
This is very clearly the substitution
of silver for gold as measure of value.

ceeded by the indirect, as in the panic

of 1898.
The silver men thought that these pur-
chaSeS from their mines would raise the
price of silver, or at least stop its fall
They were utterly and totally mistaken.
Now they ask us to trust them again.
without their having obtained any new
grasp of the subject. The most ardent
friend of silver, or rather of the silver
miner, has all the reasons of experience
in avoiding the proposals of men whose
action has been constant disappOint-
ment. The silver Legislators have failed.
No single promise they have made nor
expectation that they have created has
been realized That silver miners
should still follow these futile men is
only new evidence of the credulity and
folly of mankind.
The alliance between the silver miners
and the inhationists is beyond any ex-
PLANTATION. The one wants silver metal
to buy twice what it does now; the other
wants silver metal to remain in its pur-
chasing power where it now is, and
to have 1t, as the medium Of
expressed value, double the price Of
everything but silver. The miner wants
the silver in the silver dollar to equal
in purchasing power the gold dollar In
this case silver would rise and things
would not. The inflationist wants to
| cut debts and credits In two and double
! prices. In this case silver would not go
up. This is an alliance between the eX-
treme poles of opposition. Both parties
( have, like the poles a single point in
common. They are both equally cold in
any judicious action to secure what they
want. Real values cannot advance with
a to silver currency. The immediate
effect of such a law would throw the
whole $3.50 600, 900 of silver onto the mar
ket and such other foreign silver as no
one can guess. The result in the price
Of silver would probably be after the
first furry a heavy fall. No one should
fail to realize the Importance of silver
in the money question. From time i'm
memorial it has been a precious metal
used as money. 1t has been more in cir
culatior than gold. Indeed in this re-
spect there is no sort of comparison;
silver Is so far ahead. In country like
Mexico, with silver currency the for
eign debt and interest is in gold. No
less is this the case with exchange. The
basis Of Mexican exchange with silver,

SILVER AND VALUES
BY ABBOT KINNEY

An idea possesses many people that
high cost for things means prosperity
1t runs through the whole protective
doctrine and is now prominent in the
financial question. This idea that high
cost for things means prosperity is worth
examining. The value of things is gov
erned by supply and demand. Value is
not governed by money Money mere
ly expresses value. If the money is one
of promises, as in notes. then the credit
of the government will control the eX-
pressed value but will in no way modify
the real value. Expressed value may
be high or low but such expressed val
ues cannot alter real values When a
money standard is lowered all things
rise in expressed value without being in
any case really more valuable than they
were before.
The extreme illustration of this is in
money that. constantly lowering in
standard at last comes to be of no cred
it, and no amount of it expresses value.
OF these moneys may be cited the con-
tinental shinplasters, the Texas red
backs and the confederate states paper.
Value of crops is affected by seasons A
good season means plenty and a low
value, a bad season scarcity and high
value. Good transportation facilitates
exchange and cheapers things Bad
transportation increases cost. Robbers
increase the dangers of exchange and
Increase cost Security makes for cheap
ness. Tariffs. bad harbors, pirates etc,
all increase cost. A good and reliable
money of measure of value facilitates
exchange and must help humanity while
Z variable or uncertain standard of value
The herald., 1896-06-21

must increase cost and make things
scarcer than they otherwise would be.
In this sense only does money affect real
rather than nominal value.
Real value is then reduced by peace,
security, good seasons and intelligent
application of labor. War disorder,
flood. frost, drouth and stupidity dimin-
ish the supply of things and increase
value.
Peace is the great cheapener. War is
the great raiser of values. In peace there
is plenty whereWith to pay labor, in
peace labor receives more things than in
war. In war there is scarcity and less
whereWth to pay labor
The country with the dearest necessar-
les of life, that is, with the highest val
ues, today is Cuba. There civil war
reigns and scarcity results.
The periods of highest prices in the
world have been those of prolonged wars
such as the hundred years war in France
or the thirty years war in Germany, the
wars of the Roses in England or the
civil war in this country. War makes
scarcity and Increases price. War takes
, the flower and Vigor of country out
of production and makes of these pro-
ducers, as soldiers, the most expensive
consumers. The longer war lasts the
less will be a country's productive pow
err the fewer things it viii have. the
more miserable will be the people. At
last the dearth comes to the death point
and population diminishes.
The civilized and most productive part
of the world has had prolonged period
of peace. During this time great i'm
provements in production and in trans
portation have taken place. Thus we
have more things, greater plenty than
ever before and low prices. We are now
eniOying q period of peace, plenty and
cheapness. This cheapness is of things
1t means better pay for labor in things
1t is not low price to the laborer. It
does not mean less to him, but more.
A laborer gets more things for his wage
in times of plenty when things are cheap
than in times of dearth, when things are
dear. II the dearth be great enough he
gets nothing and dies. So central IIu-
rope was half depopulated by the thirty
years war just as vast areas of Asia are
