The Monetary Problem.
THE MONEY STANDARD.
why the Debtor Is So vitality Inter-
ested i'm the Restoration
of Silver.

A money standard fixes the general
range of prices, that is money values-
1t operates equally upon everything
that is bought or sold. If there were no
indebtedness the nominal price of any
species of property would be imma-
terial. The only value of money is in
its power to purchase. In the absence
of debt money standard which made
the price of wheat 25 cents would be
just as advantageous to the farmer as
one which made it dollar, because the
purchasing power of 25 cents under the
one standard would be equal to that
of one dollar under the other. He
would be just as rich with a farm rated
in money at $3.50 as with the same farm
under a double standard rated at
ST GOO.
Even as to debts, the character of
a money standard is of no Importance
so long as they are paid under the same
standard as that under which they
were contracted. 1t is a change of
standard operating upon pre-existing
debts by altering the terms of the con-
tract which does injustice. If there
were no indebtedness, even a change
of standard, while it might be in
convenient, would not violate any
principle of justice. 1t is debt, and
debt alone, which makes a change from
a double metallic standard to a single
standard of gold dishonest.
Of course there are certain demands
called fixed charges" which, so far as
they are fixed, have in this respect
the same economic force as debts. They
are defined by saying that practically
they do not vary with other prices by
reason of the scarcity or abundance
of money. Taxes and street car fares
are illustrations of a quite numer-
Gus class. But they are fixed, not by
any force of monetary law. but by in
cidental considerations, mainly by Gus
tom or some form of monopoly. I'm
der normal and just conditions they
should vary with other things in ae-
cordance with the money supply. Debts
are payable, however, in dollars, and.
unlike anything else, the obligations
which they impose vary necessarily and
directly with the relative cheapness or
dearness of the unit of account as fxed
by money standard.-C. ]. Hilyer, in

INITIATION.
Gold Bill Provides for Exactly Thai
which Its Advocates Reeent-
ly Denounced.

Over 400 applications for charters
for national banks under the new
financial law have been made and most
banks now in existence have prepared
to issue circulation up to the full
amount of their capital.
This means sure and great imitation
of the currency.
What will result from this sudden
increase can be easily surmised by those
familiar with such matters. Specula-
ton will run riot and when payday
comes there will be great panic.
Another feature of the new law is
the fact that it is going to cause a con-
gestion of money in the treasury for
the reason that war taxes are counted
and this money cannot be used to pay
off bonds unless they are purchased
in the open market at a premium.
When it is realized that the excess of
receipts for expenditures is from S.
000, 600 to $10,000,000 month, the evil
of this surplus becomes at once evident
1t will prove a standing temptation
for the subsidy schemes and private
enterprises will try to loot the treas
ury for their own enrichment. The
merchant marine subsidy bill is fair
example of this sort of enterprise.
Practically the gold bill has fastened
perpetual national debt on the peo-
pie of this country.
Holders of outstanding bonds which
mature within nine years can exchange
them for the new bonds running 90
years and the government can find nc
way of paying off its debt, no matter
how much money it may have in the
treasury.
Thus, while heavily taxed, the people
are prevented from paying off the ma
tional debt.
With imitation as one result of the
gold bill and perpetuation of the ma
tional debt as another evil, the meas
ure is certainly condemned as one OF
the most ill-advised ever passed by con.
preSS.

THE FIRST FURRow.


Breathes there a man of rustic birth.
An erstwhile tiller of the earth
Wnen thinking DER that youthful charm
OF plowboy days upon the farm.
Sees pleasure in this busy mart
so dear to every kindred heart
with memories so sweet and keen
AS those that crowd upon the scene
O1 every retrospective glance
That you and anon may chance
To cast upon that canopy
fhat pictures youth to you and me?
In all your worldly conquests fair,
Castles OF stone and those of air,
Your winnings on the board of trade
ana great investments shrewdly made,
you've had no triumphs, I'll allow.
So great as when you grasped the plow
And turned your first fresh furrow down.
No new-made king with jeweled crown
Felt half the pride when at his best
!hat sweiied within your youthful breast
As you followed up the old grays' pull
And turned furrow deep and full.
You scarce could reach the handles there.
So high they We're up in the air
And, sorely veNed. you wondered why
The inventor FIT them on so high,
For really, now that you could plow,
You were man, all must avow,
And free likewise to criticise
The builder of that plow unwise
And worthy of no kind comment
For making plows without intent
OF changing defects plain to see
No handles where they ought t be.
But ON. how short the time seems now
That the handles on that same old plow
Changed themselves-can it be so?-
Until they were, for you, too low.
So you realize, as I do now,
That the changes in that staid old pIow
Apparently were ever due
To something of a change in you
Those days of joys and SORROWS then,
You in fancy live them Ger again
The days when, free from noisy town.
You turned your first fresh furrow down

ALL HUMBUG.
Republican ProtestatiOns ON Behalt
of BimetalIism Now Admitted
to BE Mere FOOlery.

The Chicago Times-Herald (repub-
lican) says that the resolution for in
ternational bimetallism in the repub
lican national platform was inserted
only to deceive the voters.
Congressman Grosvenor (republic-
am said in the house that the civil
service reform plank in that platform
was mere foolery.
Congressman Overstreet (republic-
am, who drew the currency bill, says
the international bimetallism amend
ment TO it is mere humbug and that
bimetallism can never be made posi-
BILE while that law stands.

in the final analysis they, and not the
trusts, foot the bills.
The Philippine Situation.
The news from the Philippines indi-
Gates that the new commission will be
wise in staying in Manila for awhile
after its arrival. The Filipinos are ris-
ing in every province in Luzon. Not 20
miles from Manila they are tearing up
railroads and ambushing American
troops.
The war department reports indicate
unusually heavy losses among the Fill
pinos and it is significant fact that
our soldiers never take any Filipino
prisoners nor are there any Filipino
wounded in our hospitals. What be-
comes of them? Surely. the occasional
reports of shooting down Filipino pris-
oners does not mean that the admins
tration has applied the policy of ex-
termination in INIT tation of British
methods of dealing with natives in Af-
RIGA.
1t is going to be very difficult from
now on to get any real news of what is
going on in the Philippines. The war
department will censor the facts with
great care and every precaution will be
taken to give the people as little infor-
nation az possible during the presiden-
tial campaign.

Her Motto.

The members of a Bible class in a
New England parish were studying st.
Paul's rules for Christian living, set
forth in the twelfth chapter of Romans.
Among the questions asked by the
leader of the class was: What motto
should be adopted when strangers are
to be entertained? ?"
The proper answer of course, and the
one given by all the members of the
class, with one exception, was: '>Given
to hospitality"
In the class, however, there was one
young person who held different idea;
this was the minister's daughter who,
since she was Is years old, had been
the head of the house, and the man
ager of many difficult meal.
Il don't agree with the Others" she
said, firmly. Il think very often the
motto should be: Patient in tribula-
ton '"-Youth's Companion.
