WHAT is MONEY?
Clearly Explained by "a College Press
idcnt at a Farmers Convention.


The following is part of the synopsis
printed by the Milton (Wis.) Journal OF
an excellent address by President Whit
ford. of Milton college. before the farm
ers' convention al a recent meeting AT
Milton. 1t contains some very lucId
statements of money and of the power
of governments 10 fix value:
First.-Two separate and distinct val
ues are assigned to money. one being
the intrinsic or market value of the ar
ticle used the other the legal or face
value. indicated by the stamp or device
pressed upon the article. In some well
known instances what is popularity
called money has only one of these
values.
Second.-Thc common practice Of
tribes and nations in selecting such ar
ticles or commodities for money is TO
adopt two kinds or grades of them. one
having greater market value according
to its weight, for use in the larger eN
changes in trade; the other having less
or value, for the smaller exchanges.
This practice furnishes the first essen
tial condition for a system Of bimetal-
! lism.
Third.-Only that money is basic and
widely and permanently used which -
made of precious metals, very generally
gold and silver. Other and perishable
commodities are finally abandoned or
held redeemable IN these metals
Fourth.-The market value of these
metals, not their face value. constitutes
the original and continuous quality by
reason Of which they are almost uuiver-
sally accepted n basic or primary mon.
ey. Government or custom can add a
quality, not inherent. but temporary.
to such metals and other articles used
as medium of exchange. But the real
measure thus declared to be effective
and lasting must be the one established
by the laws of trade, not by the edicts
of government.
Fifth.-Government itself cannot fin
or control the market value or price OF
any metal or other commodity, whether
used as money or in the practical arts.
SO il cannot make fiat money and com
| pei the people TO circulate il a great
length of time as money Of any sort.
SiXth.-Any coins or other money
whose market value is less than their
face value always soon eXpel from cir
culation all coins or other money
whose market value is greater accord
ing to their weight. unless the former
are redecmabe in the latter. Whenever
a coin shows even a slight inferiOrity OF
it's market value TO its face value. it
tends at once 10 crowd out of use even
coin whose two values are equivalent.
Seventh.-Gold has been adopted by
the principal civilized nations as pr
mary money or the standard of values
because OF it's greater market value. lis
less weight for a given sum Of money
and its least fuctuation in market value
Of any Of the precious metals.
Eight.-Coins like silver, whose
market value is less than their face val
ne, can he kept circulating at the same
time with gold coins even i'm somewhat
large amounts only by being redeem
able in the same denominations with
the gold. The same is true Of paper
money, which has no appreciate mar
llet value.

Retire Legal Tender Notes.

The fear of contraction has good
deal TO do with the very common oppo-
stion to the policy of retiring the legal
tender notes, but there is no sufficient
ground for it. No one has suggested
any process of retirement that would
not be gradual, and the process would
necessarily be spread over several
years, though the beneficial results of
the policy would begin to be felt at
once. An act of congress providing for
the retirement of the notes would es-
tablish confidence at home and abroad
in the determination and the ability OF
our government TO prevent a repetition
of the panic of 1898 and its ensuing ills
that would be of marked benefit to the
country. and all the advantages of n
sound currency system would be eN-
periencod long before the last of the
legal tender notes had disappeared.
Our large volume of paper currency
has tended TO keep gold out of the coun-
try, and with the diminution Of notes
the ordinary forces Of trade would send
gold this way.-lron Age.

Stamp out Another.

Stamp Out Another.
An interesting problem is suggested
to the medical world by a recent ex-
pertinent of DR.. L. II. Woolsey. lie
was called TO treat two children suffer
ing from the fever which follows vac
cination, and while they were under
his care both developed diphtheria,
from which they recovered quickly,
says the San Francisco Examiner.
The physician is now almost con-
WINGED that there was a clash between
the two fermcnts in the blood, and
that the virus of the vaccine Vanquished
the toXine of the diphtLeria. lie
watched the cases very closely. and he
fclt so certain Of the correctness of his
conclusion that in the notice OF the
cases which he sent TO the health Off
Ger he announced that the diphtheria
bad been lightened 10y vaccination. The
patients are now strong and well at
time when such sufferers are usually
weak from the effects of the disease.
H. discussing the matter DR.. Woolsey
said:
"The thought suggested by the re-
cent cases of mine is the antagonism Of
one disease for another, like erysipela.s
TO cancer, which is an entirely new
idea as applied TO diphtheria. Wheth-
er or not it will prove of any practical
value is a question upon which | feel
rather doubtful, but it is, neverthe-
less, Of great interest entifically. and

year, offer the present 1896

one which we can guarantee to

we would say we anticipate none.
Such changes which may be made

A Great ENTERPRISE.

excellent picture of the proposed Chesa-

says:
"Of all the great building enterprises
ever undertaken south of the Ohio
river. none will compare with tho gigan-
tic improvements to be made at Rich
mond, Va, by the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad. Just imagine trains entering
the city over a great viaduct three miles
in length, built in the bed Of the James
river. not even permitting the rapids
and great falls of the stream to interfere
I'm any way with its construction.
"a glance at the picture will give you
an idea of the depot, and you can ina
CINE the great viaduct. These improve
ments have been under the considera-
ton of the officials for a long time, and
only recently has the deal been closed.
over 100000 will be expended in the
enterprise. the entire contract to be
finished in four years.
"In a conversation recently, VI. r.
ingalls,. the president, stated that the
material to be used in the viaduct would
probably be granite. owing TO its close
proximity to the work, Dut the depot
would be constructed OF a more bright
and cheerful-looking stone. Georgia

shows good judgment, as marble Is the
