WHAT is MONEY?
Subject Clearly Explained by College
President at Farmers' Convention.

euDJeCt Clearly Explained q college
| President at q 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 recenG meeting at
Milton. 1t contains some very lucid
statements of money and of the power of
| governments to 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 we'll
| known instances what is popularity
called money has only one of these
values
Second. The common practice VI
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 system of bimetallism.
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 mon
| ey. Government or custom can add a
quality, not inherent, but temporary,
to such metals and other articles used as
a medium of exchange But the real
measure thus declared 10 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.
| ~ AZ OuAAOt 4udhO 1uO IIOhCy duQ COll'
pei the people to circulate it great
length Of time as money CT 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 according to
their weight, unless the former are re-
deemable in the latter. Whenever a coin
shows even slight inferiority of it's
market value to its face value, it tends
at once to crowd out of use even a coin
whose two values are equivalent.
Seventh. Gold has been adopted by
the principal civilized nations as pri-
mary money or the stands-d of values
because of it's greater mai~ct value, it's
less weight for given sum of money
and it's least fiuctuation 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 true of paper
money, which has no appreciable mar
ket value.

NJ .rk Twain does not like to be inter-
viewed. His opinion of the literary
ability of the average interviewer is not
at all flatteripg to the latter either. In
talk with Rudyard Kipling, Mark
Twain once said: 81 think the poorest
article ever wrote and destroyed was
better worth reading than any interview
with me that ever was published. I
would like just once to interview my
self, so as to show the possibilities of
the interview. "--Philadelphia Ledger.

This amount was recommended by
the finance committee and was levied
upon taxable property of the county
and is included in our county taxes.
DR.. Porter asks if the amount stated
above, or practically that amount, twill
be paid back into the county treasury
by the state treasurer or other proper
official" The Republican informs a d
answers ''most sssuredly." 1t refers to
page 10 of the asylum report that we
get from the state for maintenance of
our own and other patients the sum OF
s16,7S6.72. Some one will SIX what
WAS done with this amount? Answer:
The county board set aside S12, $50 for
running expenses of ssy lum for the next
year; $500 for painting; $4,000 to pay
bonds that are now due. So there is
the sum of $50 left to go to the county
treasurer; and is this not the most pros
porous year in the history of our asy-
ium? Nov will respectfully ask, is
there any money left out of that we get
from the state for care of insane, TO pay
any of the 1856 levied by the county
board at its last meeting for the asylum
purposes? / say no! except the $50
The Republican says Mr.. Porter states
t.iat ut seems that the asylum has
2zned "a 900 to Apply on the $4,000
due and has paid running expenses"
The reply is "well We are surprised at
such conclusions. Instead of $4,000
it hrs earned the whole Indebtedness to

AS an evidence of surely returning
prosperity, W J. Waggoner, a mer-
chant of Viola, writes the Intelligeacer
of the same place: "Our sales for the
six days preceding and including Christ
mas day for the year 1896, was 8 per
cent more than for the same period in
1895. And for the same period in 1897,
was 80 per cent. more than in 1895"
MIR. Waggoner further adds that it
seems clear from all the facts and con-
ditions "that the policies of the repub-
lican party are better for the United
States than the policies of the Demo
ocratic party"

NEW YE IRIS GREETING.

Greet We one another.-Peter.
We wish you happy New Year,
happy New Year to youl
So we joyously say.
On our glad New Years day;
And most likely we mean it, too.
The year may be coming in stormy,
The day may be cold and drear,
But we heed not the storm.
For our hearts are so warm
With bright hopes for happy Now Year
We love our New Years salutation
What If we do often speak the words
heedlessly? They are still beautiful,
and have such hearty jolly ring that
they fairly make ones heart glad. To
crave happiness ourselves is natural
enough; why not wish the same for
others? Especially as we are all SO de-
pendent upon each other for our own
weil-being. And can we look into the
face of every one we meet, with smile
and say heartily swish you happy
New Year, brother" and t feel a sort
of pleasant heart-glow for the time?
We are all entitled to good comfort
able share OF solid happiness, and there
is plenty of it to be had, if sought for
patiently and unselfshly; while not for
getting to add somewhat to the happi-
ness of those who come in our way.
We may have very different ideas of
what constitutes true happiness. We
may be looking far, and expecting to
find it Just where it is mott And we
may be fortunate enough to find a
wealth of it in the most unlikely places
and where we never dreap,ed it was to
be found. Were there no such thing as
enjoyment in the world; were life in
deed as gloomy as some would have us
believe, very misery and nothing
more; then why this keen desire, this
willingness to endure almost anything
IN the hope of our one day being truly
happy. There must be provision made
for the satisfying of desire so natural,
and so universal. And there is. Then
let us salute one another with this
beautiful expression OF good will; thank.
tul for the pretty custom that makes
us, one day in the year, look into each
others faces with a smile and say,
swish yo1 a Happy New Year" "Aunt
Lizzie" in Lancaster Teller.
