The Philosophy Of Money,


From the 81. Louis Valley Democrat
Mr.. George Wilson, Of Lexington,
Mo, has an article in this paper that
will produce a healthy line Of thought.
Although a banker, and a very success
ful one, he is also an earnest and
intelligent advocate Of free silver. His
book, Financial Philosophy, Is one
OF the best contributions TO this subject
that has been published. The fact
that Mr.. Wilson Is highly educated and
intelligent, and also noted for his
liberality and ~beneyolence, explains
why he has 'no pat ence with that
selfish absurdity called the single gold
standard.

Mr.. Wilson advances an idea lha.
will seem novel to many-namely, that
money, the common medium Of eI-
change, being in fact public property,
ought not 10 be taxed. In other words
q tax on that which belongs to all he
people, is a self-impOsed tribute and at
the same time reproductive and hurt
full, creating a result similar 10 that
produced by the man who tried to lift
himself over the fence by Juggling at
his own susPenders. The suggestion
points toward the single tax theory,
which we fear is founded on q %fallacy.
But it embraces also 8 principle that
we believe 10 be sound. This is TO say,
money being 8 creature Of the public,
and belonging to the people, no indi-
vidual should be permitted 10 loan or
hire II out to other individuals. This
is the germ Of the Mosaic law, which
was founded on wisdom and Justice.
The lending of money by individuals
to individuals amounts to the same
thing as n member Of a family charg-
ing the rest q rental for the use Of the
comforts that belong 10 all. The gov.
eminent, which is all the people acting
in concert, is, or ought TO be, the only
agency authorized TO lend money, and
all private lending ought to be pro.
hibited by law. II this were the rule

TWAS HOT BOXING,
But Billy WheIan's Pupils Give Some Good
Exhibitions.

The warmest boxing of the season in
more senses than one took place last
evening in Billy Whelan's boxing school,
SO Front street. 1t was the closing of
the series of exhibitions between Whe-
lan's pupils. The evening was warm
room didn't add any to the comfort.
The boxing was warm and well worth
seeing, and nearly all the contestants
are among the cleverest of Whelan' s
pupils. The teacher wound up the eve
ming with an exhibition with a pupil,
and it was a good bout.
The bouts were Of three rounds each,
and each round lasted three minutes.
Eight ounce gloves were used. None of
the boxers made any preparation in the
line of training and they were not
matched with any special effort to get
men of the same weight but on ac-
count of the small number of rounds
the men were able to go fast and the
handicap of weight did not count.
The first bout was between John Pc
70 and John Macarthur, who weigh
about 112 pounds. Pero's peculiar
style gave him the advantage in the
bout Several times they mixed it up
pretty lively.
Patsy Wood and Joe Carter next put
on the gloves Woods had much the
advantage in hight and weight. ne
weighs in the neighborhood of l3O
pounds, while Carter is hog fat at 100
Woods forced tine boxing and pushed
Carter around the ring.
George Lanway and Tommy Wllmot
were the next pair. Wilmot was more
scientific and had the most steam. Ian
way showed good boxing qualities but
lacked force to his blows.
Patsy Woods, who made mess OF
Joe Carter. didn't have much fun with
Jack Wood. Woods had about II
pounds advantage over Wood but the
latter knows the game better, and he
laced Woods in the most approved
style. It was fortunate for the heavier
fellow that it was simply for exhibition
purposes. Wood was easily the best
man.
Joe Hart and Tim Carroll put up a
good bout. Carroll had several pounds
in his favor but he was too fat, While
Hart was in good shape. Hart IS a
clever fellow, however, ana put up
good exhibition.
Tom McGrath boxed Charles Con-
verse who weighs 80 pounds more than
he McGrath made a good show against
him and at the close honors were even
Whelan boxed three lively ROUNDS
With nupiI named Shannahan- The
latter is a shifty one, and a fast mover
