which foul deed they have already
robbed the people out of thousands of
millions of dollars, and God only knows
when their greed will be satiated,
while the sovereign who would circu
late only his debts for money would
place it beyond the power of any body
of men, however vile, to inaugurate a
panic and rob his subjects, as his
money could only be destroyed or
locked up at q direct loss to those who
might undertake it.
THE USE OF GOLD AND SILVER FOR MONEY
A RELIC OF BARBARITY.
Tenth-The automatic system of
money. of which we have heard so
much in the past year or two, is not
worthy of one moments consideration.
The a~utocracy on a piece of paper
making it money differs in no sense or
degree from that upon the gold piece
making it money. Money exists no
where in nature and iron has a thou
sand times mor claims to be called q
precious metal than gold. Money is OF
far more Importance to man than q
mere value. What the blood is to the
animal organization and what the air
is to the blood, money is to the enlight
enment. civilization, prosperity and
happiness OF man in this life and the
life to come. With money ade quate
to his necessities his responsibilities
are almost illimitable; with it entirely
taken from him he sinks into a vegesa
tive stateOt existence, with none of the
moral attributes that characterizes
man from the brute. The use of gold
and silver for money is not in conso
n nee with the progression of the age
in which we live, but, as constituted
and practiced, system comes from
and is a relic Of barbarity where things
are swapped Of equal values. Dignity
gold and silver 8 you will in their pres,
ent use Of money, in the end it is but a
dollars worth Of gold for a bushel of
wheat, cowrie shells for fish, and only
differs from barbaric barter in this
when an equal value in gold is ten
dered for the thing bought it must be
taken in payment, whatever may have
been promised.
MONEY WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE
PROPERTY.
Money is not, and i5 was never in
tended it should be, property over
which a person can obtain absolute
possession and control, but it is made
for the use of and belongs to the whole
people, and a person holding more
than 81, 600 of it for which he has no
use for a longer time than n year
should by law forfeit it, and be sub
jected to fine and imprisonment. Here
an exception should perhaps be made
in favor of bankers, but under very
different laws from those now CONTROL
ing banking institutions Peoples

avoid it if we would. Either the friends

solidly for liberty and humanity and
strike down forever the conspiracy of

Miss Ackerman's lecture felt a mist
like rain in their faces. Her lecture
Eight Hundred Miles on Horseback in
Iceland" with the stereopticon views
is something never to be forgotten. Her
farewell to her audience was very
touching. Her health is too broken to
continue her going from country to
country carrying temperance principles
to all, but the pen is mightier than
the sword and she is still for the good
cause of temperance, and we shall hear
from her often. Wishes of godspeed
the cause and God help and care for
our beloved Miss Jessie Ackerman filled
all our hearts. Inclosed find notes of
her lecture. ALMA.
