MONEY AS A STANDARD OF
VALUE.

the ex preston Money is the stan
dard of value?"
The Constltution-article /, sec
ton s, paragraph 5-makes it the
duty of Congress Ito coin money,
regulate the value thereof, and of
foreign coin, and fix the standard
of weights and measures" is to pro-
vide q scale in which the various
weights and dimensions of articles
shall be expressed. AS the value
of money is it's relation to COM
modities, ITO regulate the value of
money" is to provide a scale Of cal
uotion, in which the values of other
forms of property shall be express
ed, and in this sense alone money
is the standard OF value. Accord
ingly, by the goth section of the
act of 1892, preserved in section
1868 of the Revised Statutes, it is
provided: "The money of account
of the United States shall be ex-
pressed in dollars or units, dimes or
tenths, cents or hundredths, and
mills or thousandths; a dime being
the tenth part of a dollar, cent
the hundredth part of a dollar,
mill the thousandth part of a dol
lar; and all accounts in public Of
fees and all proceedings in the
courts of the United States shall be
kept and had in conformity to this
regulation" The dollar is simply
the unit of this scale, and in the
keeping of accounts all values are
expressed in the multiples and frac-
tons of this unit. M. Cernuschi,
in "Nomisma," page Z, gives this
definition of money: "Money is a
value created by law to be scale
of valuation and valid tender for
payments"
Money standard being scale of
valuation, to talk of a 50-cent dol
lar or unit is as illogical as to talk
of a six-inch foot measure. To
raise this standard is to increse the
purchasing power of the unit or
dollar, and to lower the standard is
to diminish the purchasing power
of this unit. 1t follows that to give
to bankers or dealers in money a
control of the currency would be
like giving to dealers in commod-
tiles the control of the standard by
which they are measured, for the
dealers in money, by expanding or
contracting the volume of money
diminish or increase the purchasing
power of this unit of valuation and
hold at their mercy the property of
the country.
Manifestly falling prices are the
cause of our commercial and indus
trial depression and there can be no
prosperity while this cause contin-
ues. What has brought about this
fall of prices? | answer, it is the
legitimate and necessary result of
our having made gold the money
standard or scale of the valuation
of property AS the pressure for
gold increase the dollar or unit Of
valuation enlarges or increases and
there is corresponding fall in the
prices Of property. We must, there
fore, diminish the purchasing pow
or of the dollar, or unit of this
scale, and this can only be done by
putting silver in competition with
gold as money metal No reform
Of our banking system or change
in our tariff laws can accomplish
it.-Judge Henry G. Miller, Of Mi-
mOis.

To APPLICANTS.


Applicants for subordinate Offices
under the incoming administration
should remember that all those places,
except tie postoffices, are embraced
within the civil service law, and it is
impossible to secure appointment
without having first passed a compel
tive examination. The law may be
unjust but we are living under it,
and will have to obey it until it can
be repealed There will be an exam
ination in Parkersburg on the 23rd Of
April for applicants for positions in
in the Internal Revenue Service.
Those who want these places should
pass this examination. And another
thing. Persons who also ask for post
offices through petitions should get
their endorsements up in good shape
Their petitions should be signed in
the handwriting of the petitioner,
and not in that of one man, as is too
often the case. To receive consider
alton these petitions must be gotten
up as above indicated.

An Embarrassing Situation.

1t begins to look as though the Pop
ulists will split on the money question
before another election One faction
is likely to favor dropping free silver
as party question and advocating
in its stead fiatism or scientific mon
ey, as suggested by George F. Wash
burn, the leading New England Pop
ulist, and the other may stick to free
silver.
Should the split occur the Demo
cratic party-that is the Bryan wing
of twill be in an embarrassing po-
sition. 1t will not know which of
the two Populistic wings to get I'M
der. Having been captured by this
party of erratic and unique views it
will find itself at its wits end to de-
termine whether to go with the
scientific money" faction, or the
fifty cent dollar chaps. 1t was so
easy for the free silver Populists to
persuade an organization with gener-
ations of sound money record be-
hind it to surrender its principles
and go in for dishonest dollar, be-
cause a new issue was wanted, that
perhaps the scientific money" Pops
will have plain sailing in the effort to
get it to go to them.
An organization that is looking for
a new issue with which to agitate the
country and keep the business world
in a state of disturbance will be easily
persuaded that, free silver having
failed. the people are crying for fiat
money pure and simple; that a piece
of paper with a government stamp on
it but nothing back of it is what the
country wants. And then we may
hope to see another campaign of edu-
cation against the plutocratic gold
bugs launched.
Of course the free silver Pops will
be expected to see the hopelessness OF
their free silver cause and join in the
new crusade and agitation for a still
cheaper money. The cheaper and
more worthless, the more it will APP
peal to tne ignorance of the country,
and that is the element the Popocrat-
ic-Populist cause banks on.-Wheel-
