EDIroRs AGITAToR: l notice in
your issue of Feb. 18th an article
by E. 4. Ewing as to money aud
what is required of it in the function
which it is required to fill. In the
first place, necessity for convenience
is the parent of money. Then. the
parent has the right to say what lis
use shall be.
Mr.. Ewing makes statement az
to "a certain class of redemption
ists... l have not heard Of such n
a class, but have heard of a class
who believe in money REDEEuING IT
SELF in the manner in which he
speaks. He says. "They say mon
ey is redeemed every time it is paid
in taxes or exchange for other
things" So it is, l say, as long as
it is taken at its face value, but
when IT, falls below that. it does not
redeem itself. As for redemption.
that ia further on. 1t comes in al
ter the long use OF money. when 50
defaced that it can't be really told
what it was intended for. Then it
will fail to redeem itself Then j =
redemption is required of the an
thority which created it, and it will
be sent back to that authority for RI
demption. Then one like unto tnr
same will be returned, and if it Is
not replaced with ono of the SANE
kind, it is past RECEPTION and can
not be redeemed. But when the
government fails to renew her mon
ey after it is worn so it will not
pass, then she fails TO make her
money good; put she redeems it.
the basis is good. 1t requires N
wealth piled up behind it to make it
good.
Mr.. Ewing compares a cart with
money, to illustrate the function OF
money, and says: "a man tales
the cart 10 sand bank and loads it
up; then hauls it to the mansion;
then uploads it," Then he asks:
"Does it redeem ITSELF" | say,
Yes; for, after it had made inc
transfer, it was unloaded, and then
it was redeemed from that obliga
ton, and was ready iur another ex.
change or transfer. The cart acts
as a medium between the man aud
the sand, to make the exchange for
the use of the sand, just AZ money
does to make All exchange of values,
for convenience. The money has no
value of itself, but is simply an
agent to help man to transfer values,
the same as the cart is used. Both
are necessity-only the cart is OF
actual value, while the money is of
value. That ia the differ.

NO ANNEXATION OF CUBA.

If there stanything to which the
United States are solemnly pledged. it
is that the island of Cuba shall not be
annexed. In the joint resolution of
congress which demanded that Spain
evacuate Cuba. it was declared:
In taking this step, the United States
hereby disclaims any disposition or in
tention to exercise sovereignty, juris-
diction or control over said island, ex-
cept for the pacification thereof, and
asserts it's determination when that is
accomplished, to leave the government
and control of the island to its people,
under such free and independent gov
erLment as they may establish.
Yet here comes the Cincinnati En-
quirer virtually advocating the annex
alton of tie island. 1t says this pledge
against annexation should be carried
out in good faith, it having been adopt
ed in good faith. Then there is a saw
ing clause that there has been no for
nal recognition of the Gomez republic,
though" AS though that fact would
modify the good faith of the pledge
The Enquirer then proceeds:
The people of Cuba are to be en-
ccuraged in the promotion of govern
n,ent more beneficent than the one
Spain has given, and if they are able
to accomplish it, they should be left to
themselves. If. as a great many people
have claimed. they have not govern
mental capacity, there is. no other solu-
ton than annexation TO the United
States; and we do not see why any in
teiligent person in this country should
shudder at the idea. Let US not be por-
cine, but let US be ready for any emer-
gency.
After the island is relieved of the
Spanish incubus, the work of recon-
struction will not be an easy one. There
will be Spanish traitors left on the
ground Severe measures will have TO
be taken. 1t may be necessary to do
some shooting and hanging. No doubt
Gomez and his compatriots are the men
to do it. judiciously and in order; but so
lcng as there is doubt about the estab-
lishment of the independent republic,
this country should stand by" ready
for action.
The annexation of Cuba to the United
