EVOLUTION OF MONEY.

Unwarranted Government Interference
Prevents Easy Transition From One Sub
stance to Another.
Money is simply commodity that is
generally recognized as q universal
equivalent, and its degree of goodness
or efficiency consists in the unanimity of
the recognition of the fitness of the COM
modify used as money to perform the
essential functions Of money. Many
commodities have been used as money,
and they have remained in use as long
AZ they met the essential requirements
of money among the people where used,
or until some other commodity appear
ed the fitness Of which commended 1T
self to the intelligence az being superior
to the commodity then being used.
As people have advanced in discrim-
mating intelligence they have discard
ed inferior commodities and adopted in
place thereof something that was supe-
rior. These changes kept taking place
until finally gold and silver became the
commodities that were recognized by
the people of most countries as being
the best for use as money. Sociological
transition is constant. Change is the
natural order Of things, and changes
come about naturally and are therefore
effected easily, if the natural process is
allowed to go on undisturbed. Trou-
blous friction ensues only when there is
obstructive governmental interference
to delay or defeat the natural order Of
things.
In our own day the stagecoach has
been supplanted by the steam railroad,
and stagecoaches have practically be-
come a thing of the past. The tallow
dip was succeeded by lamps filled with
burning fluid or oil, and lamps by illu-
minating gas, and gas by electricity.
These and many other changes were &C
complished with no serious disturbance
whatever, and SO it would be with COM
modities used as money in the absence
of governmental obstruction. There
would be no threatening money ques-
tion in this country today, endangering
the continuity and perpetuity of all
business activity, if the United States
was not engaged in the banking bust
ness
Among civilized people the days of
usefulness of silver as money, except in
subsidiary FORMS are numbered, and
silver is going out of use as surely as
have the stagecoach and the tallow dip,
and for exactly the same reason-civi-
lization has outgrown the conditions
which necessitated its use. No money
has ever come into use at the behest of
government or because of statutory en-
actments, but solely because of recog-
nized ability to perform the functions
of money. Austin W. Wright in Sound

Now that Japan is ON the brink of
replacing her currency on the exclusive
gold basis, we presume that we shall
40 longer be worried with fearful vi
sions of her growing industrial suprem-
acy, which was alleged to be due to the
silver standard. 1t was affirmed that
whatever goods Japan sold in this coun-
try being paid for in gold, practically
doubled the sellers income when the
proceeds were converted into silver.
And this tremendous advantage the Jap
anese now relinquish.

It IS Thought by Many

when the Creator said to woman
ain sorrow shalt thou bring forth
children" that curse was pro
nounced, but the joy felt by every
Mother when she first presses tc
her heart her babe, proves the
contrary.
Danger and suffering Turk In
the pathway of the Expectant
Mother, and should be aEcided
that she may reach the hour
when the hope Of her heart is to
be realized, in full vigcr and
strength.

Locating the Disease.

"We cannot afford to advertise our
anxiety for the free coinage of silver
any more, the Philadelphia North
American (Rep.) declares Unless
some of the nations want free coin
age at our ratio or thereabout, it is idle
as well as humiliating to be Emporium
ing the great nations to create market
for our silver. For that is the kernel Of
this nut, and but for She desire for a

Three Facts.

(I) The money supply of this country
and of the world at large is not con
lracting, but increasing rapidly; (2)
the low price of farm products is caused
by increased production, not by contrac-
ton Of the currency; (3) free coinage of
silver would not improve the condition
Of any one and would be the cause OF
great hardships and privations to the
wage earning classes and all persons of
small means.

A standard of value.

Our monetary standard is nothing
but measure of values. Upon its sta
bility depend growth and prosperity 1t
must be recognized as the very best
abroad as well as at home-if our ac-
tive commercial intercourse with the
leading nations of the world is to con-
inue and develop.

The Debate Resumed ON the Motion
For n Readjustment.
London. March a.-The debate on the
motion introduced in the House Of Com
mons by Edward Blake, nationalist. pro-
posing a readiustment Of the Irish tax
rate, was continued In the House to-day.
The motion was supported by Thomas
Lough, liberal, and opposed by II. o. Ar
mold Forster. unionist.
John Morley, chief secretary for ireland
in the Rosebery ministry, then took the
floor and spoke In favor of the motion,
saying in the course of his speech that,
besides suffering from fiscal oppression,
Ireland had also suffered from the oppres-
sion Of the landlords. but the latter had
been stopped by Mr.. Gladstone.
Rt. Hon. George Coschen, lord OF the
admiralty, contended that the rate of
taxation In Ireland did not press any
heavier upon the poor In that island than
the English taxation did upon the poor of
London or elsewhere. Nevertheless, he
said, he could not accept Mr.. Whittaker's
amendment, because a government COM
mission was already prepared to inquire
into the question whether payments to
Ireland. for local purposes. could be treat
ed as off-setting the payments by ireland
to the imperial treasury.
Mr.. Blake's motion was finally rejected
by vote OF 3i7 TO 157.
The motion introduced by Thomas r.
Whitaker. liberal, that while the ex-
choquers of Great Britain and ireland re-
mained consolidated, all portions Of the
United Kingdom must be regarded as one
country for fiscal purposes. was not voted
upon. the House adjourning before vote

Means to BE Dincd.
Washington, March 31.-President Nc
Kinley is greatly pleased with the prompt-
ness with which the members Of the COM
mittee on ways and means carried out
his recommendations in regard to the tar
iff bill. In recognition Of their fidelity and
industry he has invited all of the mem
bers of the committee, without regard to
party Affiliations, to dine with him at the
executive mansion next Friday night.
This is the first political dinner given
at the white house during the present ad-
minstration and It indicates that the Pres
ident believes in making Jack do his
work before he gets his dinner"
If the Senate committee on finance is
equally prompt in passing the bill through
the Senate, it is possible that another
political dinner may be spread in the ex-
ecutive mansion.
Unless all signs fail the President need
not be in hurry to arrange a dinner for
the finance committee Of the Senate, for
It is quite likely that the Senate will not
get through tinkering with the Dingley
bill until well on to dog days"
