Speaking to Bettina Won Arnim about
the influence upon his mind Of Goethe's
poems. Beethoven declared that they
powerfully impressed him both by their
rhythm and by their matter; and" he
added, II am moved to composition by
their language and by the lofty spirit Of
harmony pervading them" SO that
what stirred In him the creative I'm
pulse, as he came under the spell Of a
great poet, was the ecstacy born of the
measured words and Of their inner sense
their aesthetic and spiritual rather
han their purely intellectual content.
And 1t was in this connection that he at
firmed music to be "the medium be-
tween the spiritual and the sensuous
life'-a luminous and pregnant word
which sorts not Ill with the view here
presented, and Is. perhaps, as near an
approach to a definition Of the undefin.
able as Is likely to he comprised.

unlimited coinage by the United states
alone will raise the bullion value OF sii-
yer to its coinage value, and thus MAKE
silver bullion worth $1.29 per ounce In
gold throughout the world. TINS propo
sition Is in keeping with natural laws
not in defiance OF them. The best known
law of commerce Is the law OF supply
and demand. We recognize this law
and build our argument upon IL. we
apply this law to money when we say
that q reduction in the volume OF money
will raise the purchasing power OF the
dollar; we also apply the law OF supply
and demand to silver when we gay that
a new demand for silver created by law
will raise the price OF silver bullion.
Gold and silver are different from 9th.

ready to take the entire supply OF any
given article at a certain price ri pre-

price. SO the government can fix a price
for gold n silver by creating a demand
greater than the supply. International
bimetallists believe that several nations
by offering into an agreement to coin
at a fixed ratio all gold II silver
product can maintain the bullion value
OF the metals at the mint ratio. When
