BRYAN AND TOWNE
Democratic and Populist political Economy
Van Vorhis Points to Some Errors

Editor Independent: For centuries
exchange has been the subject OF econ
omic thought and philosophy. Arls-
totle said: There would be no So
Ciety If there was no exchange. and
no exchange if there was no money.
The first part Of this statement is no
doubt correct, but whether the second
part is correct depends upon whether
the material thing commonly called
money, or the function ito be per-
formed by it, is the subject of thought.
If that which is commonly called
money is all that is meant it is not
true. If by money anything is meant
that will perform the money fune-
ton then it is true. In any view ex-
change and money are very intimately
related.
I do not desire either to construct
or repeat definitions, but say, not as
a definition, that money is medium
of exchange" Without asserting or
denying that money is anything more
it is certainly this, if viewed from
the side of that which is usually meant
by money. If, however, the word
money is used to express the general
idea of the function to be performed
Ia function that may be performed by
almost any material or thing the
proposition that money is medium OF
exchange must be turned around, and
to express the whole truth be made to
read. anything that acts as medium
Of exchange performs a money func-
ton. Barter-the exchange OF one
commodity for another docs not diff
fer in economic principle from buying
and selling-the exchange of a COM
modify for money. Both are ex-
changes. The quantitative theory, in
a comprehensive sense, must necessar-
lily apply to the aggregate OF all things
that, under our conditions, act as a
medium to facilitate exchange by be-
coming a part of it-one side of it. It
must apply to the aggregate OF such
things used to make it easier and more
convenient for the buyer to buy and
the seller to sell. If so, then in the list
Of such things must be included. not
only all money reported by the depart
ment, but all bank credits, commercial
credits, notes, drafts, checks, bills OF
exchange. accounts, and any thing or
device that makes buying and selling
easier and increases commercial activ-
ity. These different things, thus added
to the volume of money reported by
the department, are frequently called
substitutes for money, and have since
1896 increased enormously the volume
of money equivalents In the transac-
ton of business

ulated and greatly increased In actlV
ity. The expansion OF credits had no
limit, and the continued imitation broke
down and brought ruin to the DanK
and to the country.
Law failed to grasp the fact that a..
increase in credits that could be USED
as money was, in business, equivalent
To an increase in the volume OF money,
and necessarily decreased the value OF
money, just as the value OF a comniod-
ity is decreased by an increase OF the
amount of it; and that this decrease
applied not to one kind but TO all
kinds of money. He failed to realize
that under the conditions and power
of the government the business value
of gold and silver within the realm de-
creased and would seek other coun-
tries where the business demand Tor
that kind of money was greater. he
failed to see that under such circum-
stances the volume Of private credits
would cease to perform the money
function and at once become most
urgent demand against the diminished
amount of metallic money kept in the
country by royal decree against its ex-
portation, and which was regarded as
the only possible STANDARD OF pay
ment."
| John Law taught the world valua-
BILE lessons in private credits and their
use as money, that 1t is well to recall
now when similar misapplication OF
economic principles has been applied
in our banking and financial system
to that made by him in France. In
addition it ought to be understood and
remembered that it is not necessary
that bank credits have the form of
bank notes in order that they may
perform a money function. 1t is pos
sible, however, to issue bank credits
as bank notes, and then use this kind
of credit to initiate loans and discounts.
This is the project the eastern banking
interests now have in mind. II they
succeed in inducing congress to auth
orize the issue of currency secured
only by the assets of the banks, there
will be no limit to the possible infia-
ton of bank credits. John Laws in
f1ation In France will be insignificant
compared with the imitation that will
be possible under such privilege
given to our banks.
In the face of such possibility as

Wakeful?
Sleep1essness Is a
Sign of Nerve Trou-
bic and Should
Be Looked To.

There are three different manifesto
tons of sleeplessness.
First, hardly to sleep a wink all night.
second, to lie awake a long time before
falling asleep; third, to fall asleep soon,
waking up after several hours and then
find it hard to sleep again.
They mean that somewhere in the
nerve fibres. somewhere in the brain
cells, somewhere in the blood vessels
that carry blood to the brain, something
is radically wrong, and must be righted,
or the end may be worse than death.
To right it, take DR.. Miles Nervine.
Some other symptoms of nerve trou-
BILE are: Dizziness, Headache, Back
ache, Worry, Fretfulness, Irritability,
Melancholy, Lack Of Ambition.
They indicate diseases which may lead
to Epilepsy, Fits, st. vitus' Dance.
