unit but because the new currency
enables the recipients to crafty un-
satisfied desires. The increased abil-
lty to purchase creates a new de-
mand for certain commodities which
advance In price when the supply.
does not equal the new demand. The
rise in prices from this cause, how
ever, will be temporary for the reason
that the currency issue which in
creases consumption sufficiently to
advance prices will also enable pro-
ductlon to meet the new demand, SO
that prices will readjust themselves
when the new demand is satisfied.
Were the volume of money equal
to the needs of commerce prices
would be determined by the two fac
tors, supply and demand; while with
an inadequate volume they are inhu-
enced by three factors, to wit, sup
ply, demand, and the tribute exacted
for the use Of an exchange medium;
tribute called "interest" which i'm
properly affects prices by increasing
the cost of production and distribu-
ton to the consumer. Reflection will
convince the reader that prices would
not be disturbed by reason of the cur
rency issue proposed because the mea-
sure would simply substitute one form
OF circulating medium for another,
viz, cash for credit.
Conclusion.
1t goes without saying that our
pressing troubles are Money troubles.
Beyond doubt they are due to the
influence on our fortunes of a ia
tuous fiscal policy-which keeps nine
OF every ten men poor. We possess
the power to free ourselves from the
legalized exactions of the non-pro-
ducer. The question is-shall we ex-
ercise it7 Aware of the cause-shaH
we apply the remedy7 Are we equal
to the tagk2
Shall We make perfect our imper-
feet currency system7
Shall we provide ourselves with a
volume Of money equal to the require
ments of our commerce7
Shall we substitute cash for the
credit constituent of our circulating
medium?
Shall we monetize more OF our
wealth for currency purposes2
Shall We instruct our lawmakers to
make legal tender paper as accessible
to owners Of stable wealth as it now
is to owners of government bonds2
Shall we advance a step and mon
etize land values for currency pur-
poses by the certificate process7
Money is creation of law. -
Aristotle. "Money answereth all
things. bible.
In the light of these truths shall
we longer endure the blighting effect
upon our destiny of man-made law
that makes this all potent symbol in
accessible to society which has power
to create it at Wilt

listing conditions fancy for a moment

selves to pay for the use of mere
legislative device sum each year
GREATER THAN THE ANNUAL
INCREASE IN N A 7 ION AL
WEALTH.
1t is an amazing truth-almost un-
behevable-that should we but ex-
tend the provisions of currency law
so as to permit LAND OWNERS to
call new money into existence (as it
is now called into being by owners of
bullion and government bonds) the
act would EMANCIPATE THE FOL-
LOWERS OF USEFUL PURSUITS,
because it would destroy currency
monopoly-the parent of all monop-
oily.
Query:
Why extend the currency provision
to land owners alone7
Answer:
The underlying principle Of the
measure proposed is the unrecognized
right OF every citizen to have cur
rency representative Of his wealth in
the nation s money volume; right
the exercise of which is essential to
the equitable distribution of the
products cf labor-because barter is
nnpracticable, and currency neces-
slty. The proposal to monetize only
stable forms of wealth is one of prac-
tlcablllty. The volume of money need
not equal the volume Of wealth. A
fiscal system that will provide an
ample circulating medium will confer
upon each member Of society an indi-
rect benefit equal to the direct favor
conferred upon the original recipients
because 1t will insure a general dis
tribution of wealth by freeing society
from the direct and indirect exactions
of the usurer.
Query:
What is the visible deficit in our
national cuTrency2
Answer:
1t Is sum equal to the credit in
grcdient in our present circulating
medium which consists of cash and
credit-about one part cash and FIVE
parts credit, as shown by the Report
OF the Comptroller of the Currency,
viz:
Total bank "deposits," Oct. 80,
1906 (cash and credits), $13,OOO,OOO,-
600; estimated amount of com and
paper currency extant,, $2,5O0,OOO,-
600; visible currency deficit, $1O,5OO,-
100000.
These figures show that we require
an additional currency issue of ten
and half billions Of dollars in which
to conserve the earnings of bank de-
posters alone whose present savings
are conserved in nothing more tangi-
bic than unsecured promises, in The
form of bank credit, the basis of
which-CONFIDENCE-may at any
time las it periodically does) shrink
to nothing in night.
Query:
How would an adequate volume of
money affect prices2
