interests, TO he deiriment of those Of

In the article, which replies rea,sur-
ingly to an editorial of the Vicksburg
Herald. in which the fear was ex-
pressed. The great diversity Of inter.
ests along the river is dwelt upon,
showing that conditions exist In differ
ent localities through which the stream
runs, the remedy for one of which
may be of no benefit to those OF 9TH

meeting is to render equal justice TO

amolioration of the evils which affect
New Orleans, Vicksburg and the
Yazoo Delta, as well as those COM
planned of by ST. Louis, and the dwell
ers along the river to it's northern ex-
tremity. The article closes as follows:

Poor By Comparison.

The Memphis Scimitar, commenting
editorially upon the recent editorial
in the TINES nceIDing cotton seed
as food for stock, has the following:
"The central south and southwest
need no gold mines to keep them rich
while they have such source Of
wealth as the cotton plant. Every
part of this wonderful gift of nature
is valuable, and the cotton itself never
fails to command the gold that men
freeze and stsrve in the mines to get.
And as for the Delta of the Missis-
sippi, all other lands are poor BY COM
parlsOn. 1t is now the richest If all
In natural resources. 1t will be, at
no distant day, tie most opulent in
products"

Qualities Are Intrinsic, But Value Is
Only Relative

Qualities Are Intrinsic, But Value Is
Only Relative.
We have often heard it said that cold
ought to be the only standard because
of its intrinsic fixed value. But there
is no such thing as intrinsic value.
Qualities are intrinsic; value is a rela-
ton between eNchangeable commodi
ties, and in the eternal nature of
things, can never be invariable. Value
is Of the mind. it is the estimate placed
upon salable article by those willing
and able to purchase it, Flour is
worth up in the Klondike gold fields
$50 barrel; is that because of its
intrinsic value? Water has been sold
in the Arizona deserts at ten cents Der
gallon. Was that its intrinsic value?
If that Is the case. then what is the
intrinsic value of water in Lake Erie?
1t is utterly impossible for any metal
70 furnish an invariable standard
alone, any more than an invariablc
standard Of friendship. Value is in fact.
n purely ideal relation. Some of our
Statesmen have gotten themselves into
such a condition of the mind as to
really believe that while all other prod
uclSI ldpoI lhcIuEeu, are chanScaOIe
in value. gold alone is gifted with at
tributes of immutablity, and for hem
to believe this. amounts to sheer bias
phemy. Gold standing alone as the
best money of the world has fluctuated
so much in its purchasing power that
many times the commercial world has
been thrown into a panic. This shows
the falsity of q fixed intrinsic value
attributed to it.-Ruffalo Times.
