Sir; When doctors fall out. how
should laymen agree? One OF them says
high prices OF products come from low
prices Of gold. Another says that the
demonstration Of silver throughout the
world has practically taken up all the sur
plus gold and left its money value at the
same old figure
Then along comes a layman. who pro-
fesses not 20 great learning and asks IL
interest payments are not prices paid for
the use OF mOney-gold-and n the higher
rates nov paid by savings banks do not
mean that the demand for gold is 50
strong as 20 raise its price. For gold f.
money. is II not? And money is gold
When the value OF a thing falls. does
not its hiring value fall also? when there
is a glut OF tenements. do not rents fail?
When there Is a glut Of gold ought not in
terests 20 fall slso-fnterests. the rents Of
gold? Or Is gold the only exception 10
the rule; and does the rent OF gold rise
higher as the value OF gold falls lower:
Does money never get tight" except when
the gold crop IS scant? Does ~ never get
easy except when the gold crop is a
bumper?
Is the gold basis FOR the worlds money
anything more. snyw =. than a halfway

tiOn OF per cent OF the worlds business
exchanges? Somebody once rose in meet
