Sweden's "NIorc Money" Experiment.

Sweden's .sNIorc Money" Experiment.
The theory that decree Of the gov
eminent can give intrinsic value to
money metals has been exploded in tho
past more than once. A signal illustra-
ton is afforded in the history Of Sweden
under the reign of Charles XII, known as
tho "mad king" Baron Gortz was the
leading spirit, or rather the power be-
hind the throne and minister Of finance
War had impoverished Sweden, and the
baron devised the brilliant scheme OF
making more money by attempting to
give copper the same value as silver, SO
that a piece Of copper money whose
intrinsic value was only one-haf penny
should, when stamped with the kings
mark, pass for 40 pence. Some Of this
coin was stamped with the figures OF
heather gods, and later on the people in
derision called the pieces the "gods Of
Baron Gortz. "
At first this money was issued with
discretion and reserve, but, as might
have been foreseen, it was hard to draw
the line and fix the quantity, and it soon
got beyond the baron's control All
kinds of goods and provisions rose to in
ordinate prices, and tho baron was fore
ed to increase the value of his money to
meet the demand and volume Of trade,
but the more it was increased the less
was its value and purchasing power,
and the people finally rose in their in
dignation and destroyed the financial
plan of this early Napoleon of finance.
Charles and others lost their heads, as
a good many seem to be doing now on
tho money question. L. Mathews

*The figures for 1879 are TO Vuly l.
This record of crops and prices proves
that instead Of being caused by an in
crease or decrease III the use of silver
money, the price of cotton depends in
every case on the relation between sup
ply and demand. Larger crops have re-
suited in falling prices, and when i'll a
few years with an increased crop prices
advanced it was the increased European
demand, which meant that the crop was
not larger as compared with consump-
ton, which regulated tho price. The
record fl.rther proves that i'll the year
1915, when tho silvertes claim that sill
yer was the unit Of value, the price OF
cotton in the United States was lower
than at any time i'll the history of the
country. In view Of these facts we
should hear no more of tic price of cot
ton as a reason for debasing our currency
by putting it on tie silver standard.

the background is seen the capitol with

track on broken trestle, on which the
whole rests, points "To the devil"

THE BEST
SPRING MEDICINE

is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR-don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choIed up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in All condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR it is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every
package. Look for it.
