Powerful Force# In a Nation's Downfall. A Lesson From Hiatory'* PagtN

Perhaps no single force has wrought so ceaselessly and yet so subtly on man's destiny as that mysterious influence which causes variations in the value of the money with which he buys his daily bread. There is a passage in Alison's History describing the workings of this mighty power, which, though it has been often quoted, still retains something of the freshness of originality. "The two greatest events which have occurred in the history of mankind havo been directly brought about -by a successive contraction and expansion of the circulating medium of society. The fall of the Koman empire, so long ascribed, in ignorance, to slavery, heathenism and moral corruption, was in reality brought about by a decline in gold and silver mines in Spain and Greece, from which the precious metals for tho circulation of the world were drawn at the very time when the victories of tho legions and the wisd-v.u of tho Antonines had given peace ami security, and with it an increase in numbers and riches, to the Roman empire. This growing disproportion. which all the efforts of man to obviate its effects only tended to ag gravate, coupled with the simultaneous importation of grain from Egypt and Libya at prices below what it could be raised at tho Indian fields, produced that constant decay of agriculture and rural population and increase in tho weight cf taxes and debts to which all the contemporary annalists ascribe the ruin of the empire. And if providence had intended to reveal in the dearest manner the influence of this mighty ageut on human affairs the resurrection of mankind from the ruin which these causes had product*! was owing to the directly opposite set of agencies being put in operation. Columbus led the way in the career of renovation. When he spread his sails across the" Atlantic, he boro mankind and its fortune in his bark. The mines of Mexico and Peru were opened to European enterprise.

But this celebrated paragraph by no means contains the whole truth. The contraction which ruined Roman farmers was duo in part to the exhaustion of the mines, yet probably adverse exchanges and legislation in the interests of the moneyed class were forces which wrought even more powerfully- in the same direction. The Latins were not an industrial race, and having grown rich through war tbev bought manufactures and luxuries in Syria, Egypt and the east, for which they were unable to pay with agricultural products, which were substantially their only export. The effect of trade, therefore, was to creatc a balance against them which had to be met with coin, and Pliny calculated that at the lowest estimate bullion to the amount of $4,000,000 was annually remitted to India alone. Moreover, no analysis in the course of history seenv to show that the tendency to enhance the value of money is a phenomenon which regularly appears at a certain stage of civilization. Mill defined capital as the "accumulated stock of the produce of labor." Of this "accumulated stock" any portion can be turned into money, which therefore is in reality stored labor or a form of force, and it appears to be the instinct of the owners of this force to raise it to its highest intensity. BUOOKS ADAMS.

Coining the Seigniorage.

"Silver sentiment is dead, shouts a Chicago administration organ one day, and tho next day it mourns over the fact that the house makes a "concession" to silver in tho matter of coining tho seigniorage. If silver sentiment is dead, why is the house making a "con cession" to it? What is the house afraid of? Ghosts? It is evident that the government needs money. There is $42,000,000 wrorth of silver in the treasury, but that must not be coined, says tbe gold advocating press. "Bonds art what we want. Gold bonds are preferred, but as wo can't get them wo will take coin bonels. But why bonds insteael of the good money iying in the vaults of the treasury. Becauso bonds bear interest. Bonds makes bankers rich. Bonds force the people to pay tribute to tbe plutocrat, and coining the bullion into money does not put any tax on the people to be paid into the hands of bondholders. Nevertheless the seigniorage is to be coined and all because the members of the house of representatives are afraid of ghosts. —Chicago Dispatch.

Labor'* Vaiu Appeal.

Labor is whining around in congress •with a lot of petitions to its masters to give it a crumb of legislation. Tho votes of the workers made this Republican congress, yet their pitiable appeals are contemptuously ignored. When smooth and wise labor catches on to its power, it will not go to congress with either a I petition or a demand. Congress will I listen with both ears to the tenor of laI bor's wishes. Now it bows to capital, simply because capital, working through the ignorance of the enfranchised, makes congressmen and legislation.—Coming

THEIR BATTLE0RY.

Their Kft'ort Was to Maintain National Financial IiulcptMideiice, Which Wiu lit-injr

Threatened by the money Lender* With Hank l'tvper. -r.

In an elaborate" speech criticising tho address on the silver question mado by Senator .Tones of Arkansas Mr. Gage made this astonishing statement: "Thomas H. Benton was the leader of the measure that practically bauished silve-f from tho mint. Ho refers to tho legislation of 1834, which decreased the quantity of gold in our gold dollar about 3per cent, and thus required tho recoinage of all tho gold coin that came into the hands of tho government to be paid out again. In taking the mint report of 1897 it can 1u f-ocu that from 1834 to 1S48, including boiii years, our mint went right ahead, coining full legal tender silver as well as gold. Tho act went into effect July 31, 1834, so we cannot be precise, as tho mint record is made for calendar years. But during these 15 years from 1834, the dato of the act including 1848, the year gold was discovered iu California, we havo these facts recorded as follows: We coined in full legal tender gold $04,512,740 and in full legal tender silver $7,201,919.

Bearing iu mind that probably a largo part of tho gold was the re coin ago of our heavier goldpieces on government account, and that the coinage of silver was nearly all mado in pieces of less than one dollar, tho elifference between tho two amounts is not remarkable. Incielentally we notice that during this time we coined $1,200,000 worth of 5 cent silver pieces, which wero at that time as much of a legal teneler as gold. Now let us ask Mr. Gage or any ono who sympathizes with his views if this looks as if Benton's measure practically banished silver from the mints eluring these 15 years? "Who could say what the result would have been up to this time if the gold of California and Australia had not been discovered? Certainly Mr. Benton is not responsible for this wonderful output of gold caused by these discoveries. From 1849 to 1852, four years including both, our country went ahead furiously in coining gold, as during these four years we coined e-. -r $1(50,000,000 in gold and only a li:tie over §5,000,000 in full legal ti-n.,: silver.

v.v.s their especial battle-cry. Their contest, like ours of torlav, was an effort to maintain national financial independence. that was then being compromised l.y the money leiua-rs who had but lu/:!' I ofl^r excepting Lv.ni p.uier. By

However, the coinage of silver went ahead with extraordinary vigor

It is an interesting fact to recall that our government coineel from the organization of our mints in J7!!d up to

S-l

(54 years), over $70,000,000 of full le-al go an 7 3 0 0 1 0 0 0 legal tender silver money. However, but comparatively little of this was coined in silver dollars, but it was all a full legal tender. Hence the amount coined of each metal was approximately exptal until the discovery of gold in California. Our nation also used a large quantity of foreign silver com as a legal tender in those days.

History will not sustain the ridiculous .-.u on assumed by Mr Gage and his admirers, that gold was tho sole metal recognized in our laws or by common usago in regulating prices from 1834 to 1873 Wo admit the fact that gold was wisely chosem as the "best' metal in those days with which to pay debts, either private or public, if you happened to have it, but for one reason only, that it was the che-aper of tin two metals at our coinage ratio from 183 4 to 1873. Uur friends of the gold side now scout at the alleged wisdom of uur fathers who selected gold as the: bc.-t coin because it was the cheapen- We who advocate the restoration of silver are tho conservatives they are the revolutionists We hold that our fathers were wise anel used the commonest kind of common sense, and we expect to follow their example and hope to reinsiate their policy. We have but little patiene.'e in following Mr. Gage's arguments when he tries to show that utter absurdity, the "stability" of gold, •which we know, or at least think we know, insteiael of being a stable money has been constantly appreciating in purchasing power ever since 1873.—Farm, Field and Fireside.

Sources of Wealth.

There are two sources of wealth, lanu and labor. Gold and silver in thennatural states are land which labor reduces to element of wealth. Besides their natural adaptability as mouey metals they represent the day's work of labor in reducing them. But after all it is the open mint and government stamp that gives them currency in xmmerce as measures of value. Their "intrinsic value," of which we hear so much, lies in the stroke of the government die which ooins them, just the same aB it does in the greenback or the government gold or silver certificate.— Fresno Watchman.
