The value of money is. to use the
language of the great Nestor of money
science in the United States, John F.
Jones, Of Nevada am not quoting him
accurately. but substantially-"the val
lie of "A dollar is not what IL costs to
make the stuff out of which the dollar
is stamped, but what you have TO give
for IL after il is a dollar" Intrinsic
value! Suppose ! have n piece of gold
as large as my hand. 1t is heavy audit
is yellow. and so long as II is gold IL
cannot help being heavy and IL cannot
help being yellow. may take II to a
desert island and bury il In inaccessi-
bic regions Of sand. and cover IL up,
and the palms may grow over IL. How
much is il worth? Not cent. II will
not be worth anything until somebody
finds il. and then ii will not he worth
anything until the man who finds IL
has II with him where somebody else
Is that wants IL. That is the reason
why Robinson Crusoe, when he loaded
his raft AZ the wreck. left the Spanish
doubloons in the sacks behind and took
some salt and butter and flour TO the
island. There was not any fellow on
the island with whom he could trade
the gold.--Charles l.. Towne.

MONEY AND PRICES.
The Inevitable Result of the Demoass
tisation of silver Was Injury
10 Producers.

The high price realized by the for
tunate possessor OF the scarce article
Is necessarily an injury to those who
have TO buy II, and whose own sala BILE
products have not risen. This point
cannot be brought out too often, or
emphasized too strongly. Itshould not
be forgotten. A rise of prices, TO be
beneficial. must be general. A general
and permanent rise can only take place
as the result Of an increase of the sup
ply Of money in proportion to the sup
ply Of things which the money ex-
changes for. II should never be for
gotten that money is either nominally
or in fact. one side of every business
transaction, and the cases in which
money actually passes ultimately fix
the price for all. Under the gold stand
ard there can be no general or con-
tinued rise of prices, for the reason that
the demand for money is bound TO
increase more and more rapidly than
the supply. This Is another way OF say
ing that the money cannot increase
SO rapidly as do the things that money
buys. By the decentralization of silver
the supply ofmoney was arbitrarily re-
stricted, while the supply of other
things was not. As the inevitable re-
suit the supply of other things outran
the supply ofmoney, and prices were az
certain to fall as one side of balanced
scale is certain TO descend when an adj
ditional weight is placed upon II. 1t
can be laid down as an axiom that the
supply of money should increase pro
rata with the supply of those things
which are balanced against money;
that Is, that are exchanged for il. 9th
crwise prices would fall 10 the injury of
all debtors. and also of those produ-
cerswho cannot increase their product
in proportion to the fall.
Even where the producer can thus
increase his products proportionately
a fall of prices works injustice by de-
priving him OF the benefits of the in
crease and giving it all to those who
either have fixed incomes or who are
the fortunate possessors OF large
amounts Of money. A stable range OF
prices can injure no one.

EFFECTS OF GOLD STANDARD.
Chill and Japan Are 10th Travelling
the Rocky Road of Financial
Depression.

A recent press dispatch from Chill
says: "A financial panic has been oc.
casioned here by the withdrawal and
expectation Of gold, which has caused
the Gillian government TO officially
close all the banks in Chilli until the
18TH inst. During this suspe nsion the
government will consider the advisa-
bility Of issuing paper money"
The above dispatch shows that Chill
was successful in her attempts at
financial suicide; that the sword Of the
gold standard which she bravely in
serted into her financial vitals has pro-
duced the usual effects Of the deadly
instrument whenever used. The
slaughtered victims Of the sword of
gold fill millions of graves in India,
where the money Of the people was de-
stroyed by ruthless enemy in Lon
don, and the 800 900, 900 of the doomed
victims of English greed are to-day
shuddering on the bring Of financial
despair. The leap from the sleep of
ages which an increased supply Of sill
yer money gave Japan as the result of
the gold adoption in the western world
was marvellous. But in madness and
folly japan adopted the gold standard
and hurled her people back toward the
conditions OF the dark ages when con-
traction Of the money volume enslaved
mankind. II Chill, India and Japan
are not object lessons TO warn the
American people to resist gold stand
ard monopoly while resistance is pos
sible the misery Of the masses will be
the reward Of their folly. and the
words of Solomon will be further veri
fed when he said: 1.-The rich ruleth
over the poor, and the borrower is a
servant of the lender" Unless the
people take heed they will be classed
with Solomon's fools. whose fate he
described when Re said: "A whip for
the horse, bride for the ass. and
rod for the fools back"
Industrial conditions in Japan have
been gettingworse ever since the adop-
ton Of the single gold standard. and
this depression in ufacturing cir
cles is the worst ever known.
In his report on Japan's industrial
tbiANitAoh -. IL Lay VI iut III iAieu &c
cation at Toxic, says: "The cotton
spinning industry. on which such great
hopes were based. has already suffered
severely. At the end Of the year many
Of the mills we're financially in pre-
carious condition and several small
concerns In a state Of bankruptcy"
In commenting on this report the
London Financial News remarks:
THESE are the very mills whose pros
perity not many months ago we were
able 10 cite as Indicating how com
fortably silver-using country could
compete with Lancashire. In the early
part Of last year the japanese spinners
were doing uncommonlv well. and the
belief that all the surplus yarn could
find ready market in China was being
realized. The year exports OF yarn

HOARDED GOLD.
stored Away in Treasury vaults II
II Dead Money and of No Bene-
Mt TO the People.

As proof of the wonderful benef f.
cial effects Of the gold standard, the
accumulation of gold in the vaults of
banks and subtreasuries is quoted. It
Is alleged that upward of 500 tons of
gold, which is about one-twenty-fifth
of all the gold in the world. lie in the
treasure vaults of New York city. For
all the good that gold is doing the
people in the United States It might a
well be in the frozen marshes of Klon-
dixie. Hoarded money is dead money.
and gold is the money which bankers.
brokers' and misers hoard. Especial
ly Is this the case in times Of war, and
II is made the case by the demone-
tization Of silver. which constitutes
gold the only money of ultimate re-
demption. II those tons Of gold could
be put into circulation, il the value
they represent could be injected into
the arteries of trade, then some bene-
fit would be conferred. Indeed. great
benefit would result But as this gold
Is simply piled up in the treasury of
New York il confers no more benefits
than so much brick dust Wheatin an
elevator will not keep people from
starving. Wheat must be ground into
-four, made into bread, placed in the
reach of the individual, before it can
relieve hunger. Goldin the vaults is $
useless as wheat in the elevator. There
Is no benefit to the people In either SO
long as they are boarded.
