The Kansas Campaign.

Ex-Lientenant Governor Felt had the
following editorial in the June Is issue
Of his paper, the AtOhison Champion !:
"The stupid blunder Of the st, Louis
convention in declaring for Cleveland
ism in the money plank has added inn
mensely to the burdens Of the Republican
campaign in Kansas. Itplaces the party
on the defensive. 1t makes it confess
that the Minneapolis platform, upon
which Harrison ran, was delusion and q
snare, and that the Kansas platform,
upon which Governor Morrill, was chosen
two years ago, was aDfraud and cheat,
or else it will force the party in Kansas
to repudiate the st. Louis gold standard
plank, and fight the battle on Kansas
Republican lines.
1.-THE st. Louis blunder is q direct con-
tradiction Of the platforms adopted by
Congressional conventions at which
Broderick, Kirkpatrick, Curtis, Ellis and
Long were nominated. 1t has dis
mantled the ship in which the party rode
to victory two years ago. 1t is notice to
the world that all the speeches, resolu-
tions and platforms Of the Republican
party in the past were wrong and that
President Cleveland is the modern
prophet Of the party who has buried
bimetallism and brought monometallism
to the leadership.
at is good political sense to tell the
truth. It is no time now to mince mat
ters. The first duty is TO call the roll
and get together. Kansas is not a gold
standard State. Not q Congressional

showing that gold and silver were al
ways in demand for trade. Abraham
weighed" out 400 shekels Of silver,
current money with the merchant" and
Joseph was sold for ''twenty pieces Of
silver"
And in that way the precious metals
became money, "ourrent money with the
merchant" They came to have a
commercial value, the same as other
articles Of merchandise; and because a
small quantity of them by weight would
exchange for much greater quantities
by weight of other articles, and because
goods had TO be transported by caravans
long distances between trading points,
these metals, when they could be pro-
cured, served we'll as q sort OF medium
by means whereof trade in other things
was always profitable.
In time rulers of nations undertook to
regulate trade in the precious metals by
impressing on them certain marks to
show officially their weight, 80 that in
making exchanges for other property all
parties might be spprised Of the weight
of the metal, and then they could put
their own value on it as measured by
values of other things. They were ex-
changed by weight in one form or other
and their value in relation to other
articles, and the value Of other articles
in relation to the metals, came to be
more and more distinct and regular as
commerce spread among the nations,
until at length certain values were
assigned by law to certain weights Of
the metals.
How men would act were they with
out any form Of money and without
knowledge OF money functions, should
they set about % establish a money
system, we cannot tell But we know
what has been done in this direction by
those who have come and gone before

ciples applied in improved methods, will

The advocate., 1896-07-15
Money Is an Invention.

Money in trade is as much an inVen-
tion as a machine in mechanics, which
are invented in order to apply certain
mechanical principles which have been
discovered. In the beginning of trade
there was no money. All exchanges Of
property were made for other property
article for article. It was early dis
covered that certain metals, because Of
their beauty in the pure state, and be-
cause Of their fineness Of substance, their
indestructibility, and their susceptibility
to high and brilliant polish, were
peculiarly well adapted to use in orna-
menting the person, the home, the
temple, the palace, and all resorts Of
pleasure and passion. Early it became
common to adorn public buildings with
articles made Of gold and silver Temples
Of worship were, and still are, rich in
golden ornaments, vases, statuary, and
the like. These metals were articles Of
commerce exchanged for other things;
and because OF their peculiar properties
and uses they were universally sought.
They were special objects Of prey on the
part Of invading armies. 1t is truth Of
history that
In the search for gold whole races Of people
have been put to the sword, continents sub
jugAtsd, religions and civilizations destroyed.
It is equally true that men and women
Of wealth and fashion have sacrificed
honor and fame, even life itself, for the
possession Of the precious metals.
These considerations have made
silver and gold objects greatly to be
desired by all classes Of people, and we
find that in the earliest periods Of history
they were sought by traders as articles
Of msrChsndise. History, sacred and
profane, istull ofeornmercial transactions
