to suppose that money is a commodity
in the sense that it is subject to the
laws of commodities. Money has it's
own laws, and it is time that states
men, economists, diplomats and bust
ness men should study them and cease
to rely any longer upon the fantastic
doctrines of the Mercantile School.
With the delusion that money, or
coins, or even bullion is a commodity

universal currency. 1t cannot be too
often or too strongly insisted upon,
that money, no matter of what SUBJ

an universal money means an uni

means an universal government.

side of Great Britain or France will
listen to it for a moment. 1t is abb
solutely impracticable; nay, more, it
is absurd and mischievous. However,
for the sake OF argument, let us SUP
pose that this impossib:lity were
overcome, let us suppose that the vaIi-
Gus governments of the world agreed
to adopt Senator Benton's exploded
scheme and eschew paper notes alto
gether, and entered into monetary
convention, as was advised by Henry
Hucks Gibbs Uord Aldenham) of Lon
don, Samuel Ruggles of New York,
and other supporters of the monetary
schemes of the past thirty or forty
years. What would then. happen?
Why the money SO coined, whether
of gold or Of silver or of both metals
combined in the coins, or fixed in rel
alive value by law, tit does not in the
least matter which,, would have, as
indeed gold already has, tendency
to gravitate from the distant parts of
the earth to the central, from the
poorer states to the richer. from the
new to the old, from the sparsely pop
ulated to the densely populated, from
the agricultural to the commercial.
Mr.. Gibbs, as governor Of the Bank of
England, was well aware of this fact;
Mr.. Ruggles was not. Hence the per-
sistent efforts Of the former to estab-
lish an International money, so that
the great Bank with which he was
connected might hold the commerce,
aye and even the politics of the world
In thrall; efforts which Only took the
form of International (f6imetallism"
after his more open scheme of in
ternational gold coins had failed.
Hence, too, the ease with which such
monetary neophytes as Ruggles, Ell
liOtt, Knox and Boutwell, fell into the
traps of the accomplished London f.
nancier.
II it be asked why universal money,
or what is practically the same thing,
the precious metals, (now consisting
Of gold only, tend to flow toward the
most commercial states, the answer is
that In those states coins do the most

men, who stand ready to manufacture

The delusion of an universal money
owes what support it has obtained to
another de,usion. This is, that money
Is commodity and that as such ii is

posed to control other commodities.
Tor example. to the law that value
conforms to the cost of production,
also to the commodity law Of supply
and demand, etc. The delusion that
money is subject to the laws of COM
modities has been exploded over and
over again; still there are people who

SHIPS ARE ORDERED HOME.
ST. Petersburg Is Confident Trouble
With Britain Will Be Settled.

st. Petersburg. July 21.-The Asso-
ciated Press Is informed that the Rus
sian volunteer fleet steamers Smofensk
and St. Petersburg nave already been
ordered home. The assurances given
Great Britain o n this point are declared
to have been satisfactory.
Great Britafn's bill for damages
against Russia for demurrage and 9TH
er indemnittes connected with the ar
rest, detention and Smelling of British
ships in the Red sea will probably be
very heavy. Already it is roughly es-
tim~.ad at s.. 600, 900.
A popular version of the Red sea en-
tanglement which has so embarrassed
the Russian foreign office Is thai 1t
grew out of Grand Dufe Alexander
Mi~khailovitch. lead of the department
of the mercantile marine, practically
taking matters into his own hands, and
commissioning the vessels Of the VOL
.unteer fleet, which had passed through
the Dardanelles bound for the far east,
to hoist the Russian war flag and seize
merchantmen on the Red sea.
1t is understood the emperor has CEN
sufed his brother-in-laW for taking a
step Of such gravity without consulting
the foreign Office, There is a general
belief, however. that Mikhailovich's
.precipitate action has not resulted in
irreparable complications.

MISTAKES OF RUSSIAN ARMY.
n. j. Whisham Explains How kuro-
patkin Has been CverrruIed.

London, July 2f.-The war has been COM
pletely ov@rshadowei II. last week by
the political situation arising from the
affairs of the Red sea. The most interest
ing feature reaching London Is another
Illuminating letter from Fl. J. Whigham,
dated at Aukden, June y. This shows
how, when the Japanese commenced the
advance On Lioayong General kuropatkin
had less than 50,oo0 troops, scattered frov
Fengwangcneng on the east to NewS
chwang on the west, Ka!chou on the
south and Mukden on the north. They
were at kuroki's mercy. but the latter
elected to go back.
Then Russian reinforcements began 70
arrive IN earnest. K~uropatkln with a
steadily growing army held an excellent
defensive position at Haicheng and Lao
yang. Obviously II was his game to sit
down at Liaoyang and let his army grow
till after the rains.
But Ficeroy Alexieff. Russla's evil ge-
MUS Of war, was keeping a sort Of royal
state only a few miles from k~urouatkin's
headquarters. On his advice General
k~uropatkin was ordered. against his bet
ter Judgment, to send Genera! Stacked
berg to relieve Port Arthur. Thus the
Russian army was again strung out, while
the relieving force entered a death trap,
at Fafangow, which resulted in drawing
the main army from its base.
AIexieHs Real Motive.
Alexteff's motive was to save his own
face, no matter what the cost. He de-
teTrnined by every effort and at whatever
risk TO save the fortress. the fall whereof
would destroy forever his already tar
nished reputation"
Mr.. Whtgham describes Alexieff as "a
stupid obstinate man. It was entirely
his fault that difficulties were put in the
way OF the foreign consuls coming to Man
churia. His subordinates lmpIored vain
ly. but similarly in every way he chose
10 irritate England, America ana Japan.
When Informed of the preparations of
the Japanese ne told the intelligence Of
fcers they ought to do their work better
and not bring them fanciful tales.
AieXief now Is the laughing stock OF
the coolies in the streets Of Mukden and
htrtn. He lives in an inclosed space. to
enter which correspondents are specially
forbidden even to ask. and from hence
he issues bombastic DEGREES whereat the
Chinese who are intelligent enough TO
read simply laugh.
"Alexieff," continues Mr.. Whigham. SIS
still a great power within q radius of 20G
yards of Mukden and the railway station.
but outside that Russians and foreigners
alike, even the Chinese, laugh at the i'm
perial airs of the little Armenian but
for kuropatkin It Is no laughing mat,
