Money.
II.-VOLUME-ENOU TO RID US
OF THE CREDIT SYSTEM.
GEORGE G.. FINDLEY.

In the previous articles 1t has
been shown thatthe value, or power
of money in exchange, depends
upon the ratio between supply and
demand; and that it's virtue, or
power to do the money work, is de-
rived from the law by which it is en-
dowed with power to pay debts.
We come now to the COnsiderati ton
of the question of quantity, which
will be considered under two heads:
First, How Much Money is Needed?
and second, How Can the Right
Volume Be Maintained:
Every demand for labor, every
demand for employment, every de-
mand for what one cannot himself
produce, every product that one
does not himself desire to consume,
by the necessities of exchange Gre
ates demand for money. OF the
entire industrial and commercial
equipment, after land and labor,
money is the most necessary.
Every man interested in Legitimate
enterprise is a consumer of money,
and, therefore, benefits by liberal
supply. This, you say, includes
all men. All? No, not all. There
is one class whose property con-
sists Of interest bearing obligations
by which they seize upon natural
opportunities and absorb created
wealth.; whose profit is in scarcity
of money, in monopoly of supply, in
manipulation of volume, and who
accumulate wealth through con-
traction, money famines and panics.
The bugaboo Of these fellows is
over-issue-to much money. They
are in mortal terror of initiation, but
only. mark you, when from issues
that pass not through their own
hands. They would control supply

the people when millionaire bond
holders, even though protected by
law, than for the common sneak
thief. With statesmen, organ
editors and the ministry, of course
it's different. The scientific student
worships at no shrine but that of
Truth, and if the language applied
to the interest-takers is not rel1shed
there will be no objection to them
mending their ways.
The modern definition of interest
money paid for the use of money
lis the same as by all ancient pco,
plcs-Hebrew, Greek, Roman, and
the nations of the Middle ages, in
GLIDING England till after the time
of hakespcare-was denonlinatcd
"usury.' If Gods law takes pre-
cedence to mans law, there is no
such thing as "legal' interest. All
interest was forbidden by the Mos
aic law, except as against foreign
ers. And Christians, who claim
to recognize the kin5hip of the
whole human race, in taking inter-
est at any per cent, are guilty of Il
GROSS violation Of their fundamental
law.
If not to be classed as a crime, as
it is by the Jewish scriptures and
the early Christian church, inter-
est taking, at least, is contrary to
public policy. 1t takes the earn
ings of labor and enterprise with
out returning an equivalent. Labor
creates wealth.; enterprise RISKS
loss: usury creates no wealth, risks
no loss. True, it claims it's exact
ions in the name of wealth created,
but the claim is false; in the name
of risk, but it never fails to see that
the security is ample. with the
borrower whose venture is wrecked
it divides no loss.
Interest can be eXaCtcd only under
unnecessary limitations or that
which is public necessity, the Gre
alton Of which is Il public junction.
And those who, protitinG by it's cx-
actions, seek to continue the con-
diti0ns that make it submitted to,
are guilty Of the same oHcnsc

OQlCally forcing the contraction OF
the money volume is no less crlml-
nal than if the owners Of one half
the houses destroyed the other half
in order that higher rents might be
exacted for their own. A small
minority they are, it is true, but
most shrewd, INSCRIPTIONS and
powerful. Industrial vampires
not essential to any we'll ordered
society, who absorb what industry
creates yet they assume to be the
prophets and high priests OF "tee-
naunce.' Because of lesser returns
made inevitable by bad laws their
investments have been withdrawn
from industrial enterprises, where
they had to share the risks Of loss
the same as others, and have been
put out at usury. They have mani
pulated financial laws till only the
usurer is protected, and enterprise,
gagged and bound, struggles
hopelessly in their hands. All
financial Wisdom they arrogate to
themselves. The people trusted
them, and with what result have
they dominated financial legisla
ton? They have prospered enor-
m0usly. Millionaries are such
drug in the market that every scrof-
ulous degenerate Of European no.
bilitv has one for the asking, while
industry is impoverished and bur-
dened with debt beyond the posi-
bility, under present conditions, OF
paving out. And since these con-
ditions are the result Of the corrupt
influence of the usury class on leg
islation is it un ust to liken them
to pirates who loot the Cargoes they
undertake to transport to Il safe
harbOr:
Debt is the peculiar curse OF
Nineteenth century civilization.
More crime and misery spring from
it than from all other evils COM
bined. 1t drains the blood Of
industry, r0bs labor of it's Oppor-
tunities, sets man against his
brother man, STILES patriotism and
kills manhood. The race is hope
lesslv involved. Look at our own
country.
Though the annual increase in
wealth is less than two per cent,
about 81, 100000 OOO--the earnings Of
usury are not less than five or six
per cent, on thirty or forty billion
dollars-ab0ut$1 81, $50, 0OO0OO--and the
excess of the usury after absorbing
the net earnings Of labor and CAPT
tai, yes, and rents of land as well, is
made u . by levying on the prop
erty of the people through sacrifice
sales and mortgage foreclosures.
Here we run counter, Of course, to
the usury taking classes. 1t has
been assumed that interest, being
legalized in modern days by human
law, is not now subject to the con-
domination hurled by the Bible and
the ancient church against usury.
Villainy among the wealthy always
assumes to be legal. 1t seeks to
cover it's crimes with garments OF
the law. Science, however, has no

ENAMILIARLY known as "Bill Nye,"
Il was perhaps, the most popular hu-
morist of the Nineteenth century, and mil
lions Of people read his productions each

was Buck Shoals, near Arden, Bum

teresting family and was devoted to It and
1t to him. He realized q large income
from the products Of his pen and accumu-
lated a considerable fortune. He was q
business man and realized the value Of
life insurance as means Of protecting the
widows and orphans, and carried large
sum on his life, $5, 900 Of which was In the
Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association.
His policy was No. $3.50. We delivered
No. 303,6 on last Thursday to gentle
man in Chester. We only make this
statement to show the reader how rapidly
the Association has grown since Mr.. Nye's
policy was written IA years ago, (the COM

that he was shrewd enough to see that 1t
was safe and sound even in its infancy.
During the IA years that the policy was
carried 1881 l.89 was paid in premiums, on
an average cost of $59.4 year or, $11.88

KEPT THE FLooR.-The pastor OF 8
New England church announced that
the. regular weekly prayermeeting
would be devoted to discussion Of q
certain question of general interest
to the congregation. Many members
of the church wished to take part
in the discussion; it was therefore
decided to limit each members re-
marks to five minutes. When the
speakers time expired, the clergy
man was to notify him by rapping
with a pencil on the desk. Dea-
con A, one of the members at whom
the restriction was especially directed,
had not fairly started on his remarks
when the rap of the pencil was heard.
Gam I to understand" asked the
deacon, "that my five minutes have
expired ?"
aYes, deacon !; I am sorry, but your
time is up"
"And all general remarks are limit
ed to five minutes ?"
ayes, that was the understanding"
The deacon turned very deliberate
" to his fellow members. "Then,
brethren" he proceeded, 81 shall throw
the remainder of my remarks into the
form of prayer"
The deacon kept the floor.

"N0 GIRE. NO PAY"

Judge Joline was all ready to decide
what appeared to be clear enough
case in the Camden district court, re-
Gently, says the Philadelphia Record,
when an unlooked-for obstacle arose,
and he reserved decision. 1t was in
the trial of the suit brought by DR.. G..
P. Finraw, a wellknown specialist,
against F. Sitley, a prosperous grain
dealer, to recover $3.50.
The doctor stated his case briefly,
stating that he had attended Mrs. Sit.
lev, and that Mr.. Sitley had refused to
pay his bill. That was plain enough
but when the plaintiff was turned over
for cross. ss.examination to ex.Judge
Howard Carroll, as counsel for Sitley,
the case took somewhat different
turn.
"Doctor, this is a pamphlet issued
by you, is it not ?" asked the attorney,
presenting small book issued as an
advertising circular by the doctor.
ayes, SIR" replied the plaintiff.
. "And are all its statements ue?"
ayes, SIR"
"Please turn to page TO-"
The doctor turned the leaves and
opened the designated page.
"Now read the last line"
"No cure; no pay" quoted the
plaintiff.
"That will do; that is our case
Mrs. Sitley is dead )" and the ex;judge
proceeded to gather up his papers.
Judge Joline gave his spectacles
twitch, gave turn to his fluffy mus
tache, and said that he would decide
the case later on.

About nine o'clock in the morning
"Beau" came along smiling, and stop

whom the clerk had told of the flies
hastened to ask "Beau" how he had

"First rate" answered he.
"Flies trouble you any ?" asked one
"a little," replied "Beau," "in the
early morning but 'hived' 'em."
With one accord, the crowd broke
for the room to discover the means
employed in "hiving" them. "Beau'

p4 At one of the London clubs two
card-players were much annoyed by
the class ofbore who persists in looking
on at game and making remarks
about it. After standing the nuisance
for sometime, one of the players ask,
ed one of the spectators to play the
hand for him until he returned. The
spectator took the cards, whereupon
the first player left the room. Pretty
soon the second player followed the
example of the first. The two substi'
tutes played for some time, when one
of them asked the waiter where the
two original players were. "They
are playing cards in the next room, y
