were taken.
The evidence began with the Introduction
of documentary evidence to show the official
position of the accused. and the advertising

Benjamin F. Dodson, the Chicago man who
had acted as detective in the case, was

in which Drew was to receive 10 per cent
of the purchase price for working the deal
through. the price to be 1874 $40.
The state was very brief with Mr.. Dodson,
only asking him to rec:te concisely the con-

weyrer's Paper Promises.

Our "Greenbackers" should rejoice
over the fact that another paper money

put down the rebellion in the United
States, why shouldn't they prove effect
i've weapons against Cuban rebelsf'-
reasons General Weyler, who is flooding
the coast towns of Cuba with artistically
engraved promises to pay on n side OF
a piece of paper and a picture of a well
developed tobacco plant on the other
side.
The experiment is bound TO be sue
cessful, for the notes are made legal
tender in the worst way. Any shop
keeper who refuses to accept these prom
Uses for their face value is subject to in
slant Imprisonment in jails where con-
finement means almost certain death.
Of course under the circumstances the
notes are accepted. Weyler, however,
forgot to decree that prices should not
be raised, and the Cuban shopkecpers
are mean enough to try to defeat the
experiment by raising prices. So far
they have only doubled prices, but each
one is trying to see how high he can put
prices, and the end is not in sight.
Come to think of it, high prices, con-
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiments with paper money.
Perhaps Weyler, by correcting this little
defect, may yet demonstrate that Green
hackers are right and that cheap money,
by proper legislation. can be made just
as good as money made from costly
metals. What a boon plenty of money
would be to mankind! Success to Wey-
ler's experiment and.death to the traitor
who tries to prevent its success by rails

WHAT Is MONEY?
subject Clearly Explained by a College
President at a Farmers Convention.

Subject Clearly Explained by a College
president 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 at q recent meeting at
Milton. 1t contains some very lucid
statements of money and of the power of
governments to fix value:
First. Two separate ana 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 OILY one Of these
values.
second.-The 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 ex-
changes in trade; the other having lesser
value, for the smaller exchanges. This
practice furnishes the first essential con-
dition for a system of b~imetallism.
Third.-Only that money is basic and
widely and permanently used which Is
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 %univer-
sally accepted as basic or primary o
ey. Government or custom can add q
quality, not inherent, but temporary.
to such metals and other articles used as
a medium or 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 fix
or control the market value or price of
any metal or other commodity, whether
used as money or in the practical arts.
So it cannot make fiat money and COM
pei the people to circulate it 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 oon expel from cir
culaticn all coins or other money whose
market value is greater according to
their weight, unless the former are re-
deemable i'll the latter. Whenever a coin
shows even a slight in~feriority of its
market value to its face value, it tends
at onee 10 crowd out Of use even q coin
whose two values are equivalent.
Seventh. Gold has been adopted by
the principal civilized nations as pri-
mary money or the standard Of values
because of it's greater market value, its
less weight for a given sum of money
and its least iuctuation in market value
of any of the precious metals.
Eighth. Coins like silver, whose
market value is less than their face val
ne, can be kept circulating at the same
time with gold coins even in somewhat
large amounts only by being redeem
able in the same denominations with
the gold. The same is r of paper
money, which has no appreciable mar
ket value.

Confidence makes Gold Plentiful.

The gold standard does not restrict us
10 the use of gold. Our country, like
every other gold standard country, uses
vast amounts of silver concurrentiy
with gold.
There is no shortage of gold. It's pro-
duction is steadily increasing. When
confidence prevails, there is no lack OF
gold for currency or any other purposes.
