VARNUM'S REPLY.

My attention has been called to the
communication of Mr. Floss of La
tourette Falls, Ore, in which he be-
walls the fact that he cannot learn
anything from the deliberations of the
late logged-off lands convention held
in Everett, and, in particular he pays
his lack of respect to the Idea" adj
vanced by my humble self.
AS to my critics inability to assimi-
late any of what he facetiously terms
the wisdom" of the convention, per-
nit me to remark that that may not
be wholly the fault of the gentlemen
who spoke! 1t is undoubtedly our
misfortune that we did not clothe
our ideas in words within the compre-
hension of all our readers But let not
Mr.. F. be discouraged at his first
failure ito learn anything" for Think
| can safely promise that succeeding
numbers of The Ranch will make clear
some points on which he is now in to-
tai darkness.
| am glad to see that the brother
was wise enough to merely assert that
my humble effort only seemed" to him
full of gas instead of stating it as

volved the necessity, perhaps, of prov
ing it, and that, l opine, is a some
what difficult undertaking even for
my critics facile pen.
| am not familiar with Mr.. Coxey's
scheme and shall not discuss it, but |
must demur most emphatically to the
implication that my plan contemplates
any form of printed paper in unlim-
tied quantities as payment" for moth
ing. A more careful reading of my
article will show clearly that the guam
tity of Service Certificates" is strictly
limited ny TIE wealth produced. No.
here in my essay is there an intimt
ton that the proposed certificates shall
be issued by the bale or cord or pound!
1t may be my misfortune to be a
"half-witted sorehead," but it does
seem to me that the most ordinary in
telligence should be able to recog-
nize the fact that the value of pie e
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-01

of paper depends almost wholly on
the content of the writing thereon and
the signature attached thereto. If the
United States should print on a bit
of paper a promise to pay on demand
slice of green cheese made by the
man in the moon, few would repose
confidence in the statement. But If
the United States shall promise to
receive a bit of paper in payment of
SIS taxes due the government, it is a
certainty that that piece of paper will
purchase So worth of goods or services
anywhere within the limits of the ma
ton.
1t appears to me evidence of either
a weak and unframed brain or a
most peculiar form of logic that asserts
that if we aid the farmer in some
one respect at no expense to ourselves
we must therefore, if we be consis-
tent, help everyone else in every re-
spect at no matter what expense to
the general public!
l do not know the author of the
sapient observation quoted: THAT
something which is given in payment
for another thing must have like
value" but it would be very easy to
show that it is not at all true. 1t
sounds very pretty and seems to state
self-evident truth, but is far from
telling the fact of practical life. A
very little thought on the part of my
Oregon friend will show him the error
of the unknown author.
Finally, permit me to mildly sug-
gest that epithets such as 'half-witted
sorehead," "bottomless nonsense
"scheming humbugs," are not nearly SO
convincing as a few calm arguments
and reasons would be. l therefore
commend to my friend another and
more careful reading of my paper at
Everett, and l know that The Ranch
family and myself will be glad to
have him pick the flaw in my argu-
ment or point out the fly in my pot
of logical ointment-if there be one.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-01

But if the only way in which 1t can
do this is to make an honest man pay
for a dishonest one, an able and eX'
perienced man pay for one who is
incompetent, then ought government
to do thing which is manifestly
wrong?" The guarantee plan as pre-
scented is not ideal, nor was 1t intended
to be. That it is a measure having
for it's purpose the greatest good to
the greatest number is hardly to be
questioned. The point to be consid-
cred is, Will it accomplish this purpose,
or will the evils resulting from it's en-
actment bring greater loss than the
value of the protection it affords?
There is one feature of the plan
that cannot but be regarded as unfair,
and that is the provision for an hon.
est and enterprising banker to help
pay the liabilities of an incapable or
dishonest man. Without some plan
difficult to devise, to keep out wild
cat institutions, the guarantee of de-
posits cannot be made to work salts
factorily
In order to give the readers of The
Ranch a careful and comprehensive
view of this whole agitation, from the
standpoint of men who are in the bust
ness, The Ranch has arranged with a
number of bankers, whose names and
places in the financial world will be
later announced, to give us serie
of articles covering this very impor-
tant subject. The Ranch invites crit
icisn of this course. 1t asks any of it's
farmers who do not agree with any
of the conclusions which may be
reached by these bankers to commu-
nicate with us. We are doing this
solely from the fact that we believe
it matter of great Importance to the
farming pOulatiOn of the Northwest,
for, after all, great savings deposits
and the great aggregate of small de-
posits which makes the tremendous
total of money carried in banks, is the
property Of the farmer. We recon-
mend to each farmer a careful, re-
Elective and contemplative perusal of
these articles and contributions which
will come from the pens of some of the
most important and well-infOrmed
bankers of the Northwest, and then we
ask that they sit down and write us
letter telling us what they think of
this most important subject

AN ILLUSTRATION.

"Once upon a time," as the story
goes, one John Smith, shower OF the
queer, walked into the office of Brown
and handed him a $40 National Bank
note in payment of debt. Brown
passed it along to Jones and he In
the course of trade to ''the butcher, the
baker and candlestick maker" until it
had passed through an hundred hands,
always in payment for goods received
or services rendered.
1t had actually paid debts to the
amount of $1,000, but now the last
man suddenly discovers that it is coun-
terfeit and he knows not from whom
he received it. Evidently this hun
dredth man is the only one who loses
anything in the series of buying and
selling, while for the other ninety and
nine it has fulfilled all the functions
of a genuine bill. John Smith received
something for nothing, but for the
others it simply measured or evil
denced a more or less equitable ex-
change of services or commodities.
Had it gone on undecided until
worn out and been returned and &C.
copied in the United States Treasury at
Washington and then its spurious
character discovered after receipt had
passed to the innocent holder, the fina.
loss would have been distributed
among the entire citizenship instead
of falling on one man.
The point to be emphasized in the
above is that in accepting any form
of paper currency, the only thing to
determine is whether there is prac-
tical certainty that it will and must
be redeemed some time by the party
in whose interest it was first issued.
If it were possible to discover the John
Smith of the above transaction and
compel him to either render service
or surrender possession of goods to
the last holder-whether the United
States or a private citizen-the coun-
terfeit would have done all that
genuine bill could do.
The Service Certificates" advocated
by the "Varnum Idea" are certain OF
final redemption and may therefore be
freely accepted by any citizen with an
absolute assurance that he cannot be
the last man."
