ing prices caused by contracting
money volume. Mr.. Sauerbeck's in
dex numbers, in which As principal
commodities are made the basis of
price computation, starts with 100 as
the index number in 1878, and finds
the average price of these As articles
to be represented by 61 in 1896, and
that it has risen from 81 in 1896 to 70
at the present time. 81,
The contention of the bimetallists
in 1896 was that prices were falling
as the result of contracting money
volume caused by the gradual elimina-
tion of silver from the currencies of
the American and European states.
On the other hand the gold combina-
tion rejoiced in falling prices, claim
ing that they were due to improved
methods of producing commodities
and to the peculiarly sound charac-
ter of gold money. The republican
politicians who are the henchmen and
slaves of the money kings defended
gold contraction and glorifed scarce
and dear money in 1896. But now
since through an increased production
gold has already deprecated consider
ably and consequently prices have
risen, they will attempt to claim cred
it for the gold standard. It will be
difficult, however, for them to har-
monize their arguments that a de-
preciating money which advances
prices in 1900 is a good thing while
the very opposite was the thing to be
desired in 1896, and they will be forced
to admit that their claim in 1896 that
prices were low on account of cheap
methods of production was erroneous
in view of the general advance in
prices since that time and the specific
and tremendous advance in prices
made by the trusts who have monop-
olized all of the great industries that
are using motive power machinery
and improved! methods in production.
But the republican politician is
equal to any acrobat feat and will
undoubtedly claim full credit for his
party for the work of the Almighty
in defeating gold contraction by fur
nishing a more abundant supply of
gold. But it will bother him a good
deal to explain to the people why
prices have arisen so out of propor-
ton to everything else in the special
lines that use motive power and i'm
proved machinery since the formation
of the trusts. It will puzzle him to
explain to the intelligent voters of the
country why the profits of this great
nation should go into so few hands,
building up multi-mil llionaires and
billionaires, while the percentage of
home owners is constantly decreasing.

THE FUNCTION OF MONEY.
why the Medium of Exchange Should
De Issued Only by the Gov.
ernment,

"A somewhat lively discussion is 60
ing on as to whether an excess of ex-
ports over imports enriches or impov-
erishes a country. The question can be
decided by determining what is wealth.
Since 1878 our excess of exports in mer-
chanGise and silver has amounted to
$4, 140, ,416,63S. If this excess was used
in paying. interest to foreign creditors,
we are just that much poorer; but if we
received back in exchange for it an
equal or greater amount of merchan-
disc and valuables, we are that much
richer.
1t is interesting to note that during
this same period our excess of gold i'm
ports amounted to only $10,2S3,354.
This comparison very forcibly demon
strates the absurdity of the claim that
gold standard, or any single standard
of exchange, is necessary in handling
foreign commerce. With a commercial
balance in our favor of more than $4,-
100000, 1000, we have only $1O00o,0Oo
of gold to show for it. All COM
merce is barter, and the only
function of money is to measure the
value of the articles exchanged and
facilitate the transfer. In other words,
money is not value, but certificate of
value, the same as deed to piece of
real estate; and the material on which
the certificate is stamped or printed has
nothing to do with it's value. Money
is creature of law, representative Of
the sovereignty of all the people, estab-
fishing a legal measure for the ex-
change of property among themselves
and other; people. This medium of ex-
change should, therefore, be issued
only by the government-the people
and it should be issued in sufficient vol
ume to meet the convenient require
ments of trade and commerce, and no
part of it should ever be redeemed" or
taken out of circulation, except in the
impossible case of decrease in popu-
lation. Instead of redeeming money,
the quantity should always be in
creased in exact proportion to the
growth of population.
Increased Gold Production.
The discovery that cyanide of potash
is solvent of gold made it possible
to work at profit thousands of low
grade gold mines that were worthless
before that discovery was made. It
also made it profitable to work over
the many old dumps and the waste from
stamp mills. In this way it has con-
tributed wonderfully to increase the
annual gold product of the world. The
increase in money supply because Of the
increased product of gold has already
arrested the fall in the world IS price
level, and prices have now an upward
tendency. II both metals were coined
on equal terms the money supply from
both gold and silver would give the
world an era Of prosperity, and would
tend to check the formation of trusts
and to distribute the benefit Of pro-
ductions more uniformly among the

Louisville, Ky, April 5.-The lilIeli- hood of asciash between the rival state administrations before a final decision of the contest cases by the courts is believed to he small. While every move of the respective military estab- lishments gives rise to a ficcG of war like rumors, the men in control of these movements, in the interest of public order and of the causes they represent. will not allow matters to take a serious turn if they can prevent it. A decision from the court of ap- peals is expected within few days. but so days must elapse after the decision is rendered before the mandate of the court is issued. Because of this fact and the prospective appeals to the United States supreme court, if the re- publicans ar, beaten, final settle ment is still far off.

THE DAY IN CONGRESS.
Flowers for FOraker-A Petition From Citizens of Cubn
 ip the senate.

Washington, April 4.-A bunch ot beautiful flowers adorned the desk of MT. Foraker when the senate con voned. It was sent to him by friends in recognition of his handling of the Puerto Rican bill.
 Mir. Stewart presented petition from citizens of Cuba, representa-, $15c, 100000 of capital, praying con- gress to enact law prohibiting th.. use of the United States military DOW CT to prevent the landing of con- peting cable from the United States"
 MT. Morgan called attention to d ruie of the senate, which provides tn tt no petition should be received from citizens of foreign country, except through the state department. He did net object to the petition, because he believed that Cuba held such a rela- tion to the United States as could be diss olved only by congress.
 MT Spooner said the rule was found c l in good sense. and he believed the petition ought to come through the state department.
 The chair held that the petition coulo not be received if objection were made. Mir. Stewart urged that the De- tition did not come within the ruie. IT Cubans, having no other alterna- tive, appealed to congress.
 The petition was received and or dered printed.
