FINANCE AND SENSE.

Ex-Senator Norwood, of Georpis, Discusses the Dollar Unit of Coinage—What Parity Means. The money ‘"unit” is the integer established by any government for measuring values and solving debts; as the dollar with us, the franc in France, the pound in England, the mark in Germany, etc. It is for all commodities what the yardstick is for cloth, the pound for weighing, the bushel for measuring. Money “standard” is the number of grains of pure metal with the alloyadded that constitutes the “unit,” as 412.’4 grains make our-standard silver dollar and 25.8 malre our standard gold dollar. “Parity” means equality, or at par. That word, as used in the Chicago platform, “parity of the two metals,” means equality in value between gold and silver, not as coin or dollars, but as bullion. This construction is made clear by the next words, to-wit: “And the equal power of every dollar at all times and in payment of all debts. ” If the words “two metals” do not mean gold and silver or bullion, then the words “the parity of the two metals” are worse than redundant —they are a snare and a cheat—-the words “intrinsic value applied to gold or silver, or any metal or thing, are a myth. An intrinsic value would be unchangeable. Value depends on desire or demand for an object and on the quantity to supply the demand. Values of gold and silver are constantly changing. When gold is in excess of silver it is less desired, therefore less valuable. But this could never be if gold possessed intrinsic value. Every writer on finance of acknowledged authority has given up the booby superstitions of “intrinsic value.” With the foregoing definitions of financial words and terms before us let us turn the light on that marvelons achievment in verbal jugglery or that inexcusable ignorance of eastern financiers—the silver plank of the Chicago platform. It reads; We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard of money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage; but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, or to be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in payment of debts; and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemed in such coin. I will now analyze that language to see how much craft or ignorance it exhibits. Bear in mind that it was settled before the convention met that either Mr. Cleveland or Mr. Hill would be the nominee for president. Both were eastern men—of New York. To carry the eleven statesit was necessary “to talk gold.” To carry the south and a few western states it was necessary “to talk silver.” Therefore it was decided by the gold men to juggle with words, and hence we have the above “concatination of self-existences proceeding in a reciprocal duplicate ratio,” etc. What sense is there in the words, “the use of gold and silver as the standard of money?” There is but one standard of money, and that is the quantity of metal in it. For instance, our standard silver dollar contains 412)< grains, including alloy, and our standard gold dollar contains 20.8 grains, including alloy. If they knew what they insolently claim to know all about and what they say the south knows nothing about, and had been honest, they would have said “unit of money” and not the “standard of money.” The unit would not have committed the east to advocacy of any specific standard; that is, any given number of grains in our silver dollar, whereas the word standard used by them implies committal to our present standard dollar. Was it ignorance or craft?

Did those eastern men mean that they “hold to the use of both gold and silver,” one at the standard of 25.8 grains and the other at the standard of grains as “the money of the country,” when they are hourly proclaiming to Europe the dishonesty of their own government in coining and retiring 412 X grains, or a dollar, which they say is not worth 70 cents? If they did not so mean were they juggling or were they ignorant in speaking of “the standard of money.” Let us examine another part of the silver plank. They say: “But the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value,” etc. Who can intelligently explain “the dollar unit of coinage?” No metal is money until coined; that is, until the government or ruler issuing it declares it to be money. When coined (if metal) or issued (if paper) it becomes the “unit.” When our government declares a piece of silver or gold to be a dollar it is then our money “unit.” The number of grains of gold or silver in the dollar has nothing to do with the unit. Twenty or thirty grains of gold, 400 or 500, or any number of grains of silver, would be a dollar when so declared, and that dollar would be our (the American) “unit.” And if each be of legal tender functions they would be of equal value. It is not the kind nor the quantity of metal in a dollar or franc or mark or rupee that constitutes its value. Its value depends on its functions —its legal tender or debtpaying quality and on demand and piyThe “unit” is the integer, the one, the starting point, whether to be used for measurement, for weight, for money, or what not. We took as our unit the dollar, just as we adopted the twelve-inch foot and the thirty-six-inch yard for measurement. The standard of that unit has been changed by an increase of grains in the silver dollar from fifteen to sixteen, but the dollar was and is still our unit. It still remains our “one” in money notation. Had the framers of that plank said “the silver dollar and the gold dollar hereafter coined must be of equal and exchangeable value,” all men could have understood what they meant, but the language they used is just as inexplicable as that of an old ante-bellum

negro preacher who defined the word firmament as used in the first chapter of Genesis to be “a species of selfrighteousn ess. ’' “The dollar unit of coinage of both metals,” coming from Wall street, is bad enough to be a species of selfrightousness, but when the words “must be of equal intrinsic value” is added it is enough to make not only Ricardo Say, Walker Macleod, John Stuart Mills and all others of the “judicious” weep, but it is enough “to make even the groundlings laugh.” That our congress, as an international congress, must first give “intrinsic” value to two metals —a thing that God has not done—and then make those two metals of equal intrinsic value (which implies, of course, that their intrinsic values must always continue equal), is a proposition that could only be made by men who are pitiably ignorant or wickedly designing. If the south and west wait for free coinage of silver until those conditions oome in conjunction they will wait until there is “a new Heaven and a new earth.” As already said, nothing has intrinsic value. Nearly everything has one or more qualities that make it desirable. Gold and silver have more qualities that fit them to serve as money than any other known metals. Those qualities create a demand more or less great in different nations and in successive ages. That demand imparts commercial value, and the value varies with the demand. Gold bullion is more valuable in England, Germany, Austria and the United States than silver only because it is in greater de- ! mand. If gold or silver had intrinsic I value that value would be the same in every quarter of the globe and in all times. .Much confusion of thought arises from the misapplication of the word “value.” Value as applied to gold und silver or any commodity is strictly rel- ; ative. A dollar has more or less value Jas its purchasing power varies. Hence intrinsic value is impossible. Demonetize gold and silver and their values would instantly drop, and also vary in every country. The eastern financiers further say that the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic value or be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the market and in payment of debts. All that is delightful reading. It has a flash of determination in the eye and a swell of the boson heaving with virtue absolutely fiery, if not molten, at the suspicion that any poor American citizen should ever have palmed off on him or her by any rascal any dollar that is not the equal of any other man’s dollar. It has a martial air and sound, a gleam and glimmer of drawn swords and bayonets fixed to protect the innocent and honest against fraud and imposition. “The dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic value.” “Parity shall be insured.” “The two dollars shall be of equal powers at all times.” “Paper currency shall be kept at par with coin.” If the dollar unit of coinage or of both metals means anything that is intelligible, it means that the number of grains in a silver dollar and also in a gold dollar must be of equal (intrinsic?) value to be adjusted (or not to be adjusted), either through international agreements or by such safeguards of legislation “as shall the maintenance of the parity of the two metals, and the equal power of every dollar at all times,” etc. The words “the dollar unit of coinage” in financial technology are meaningless, and what the writer or author of them intended can only be inferred by what follows. Interpreted as above, and all down to and including “at all times,” insist in one absurdity and one impossibility—conditions precedent to free coinage of silver.

The absurdity is that the two metals must be of intrinsic value —a quality that neither has nor can possess—and the impossibility is “the insurance of the maintenance of the parity of the two metals.” The equal power of the two dollars can be maintained. It is maintained now. Every silver dollar is the equal of a gold dollar in the markets, but to maintain parity, which is equal in value, between silver and gold as metals is something bevond the control of international, national, legislative or any other power. As coin, as money, as the unit to measure all values, as legal tender, their parity is easily maintained, but their values as metals, as bullion, are as variable as the winds, as human desires, as the demand for them to-day or the supply tomorrow. As bullion commerce controls their values. The author of that treacherous verbiage might as well have fixed the time for free coinage when corn and wheat, or rye and oats, or cotton and corn can be maintained at parity. The entire paragraph of 112 words is a burlesque on the technical terms used in the science of finance. It is a vulgar exhibition of contempt for grammar. In ignorance it is a national disgrace, while in cruelty of deception it is a national crime. It is a confession of imbecility and an appeal to enemies for help. It is a resort to redundancy to conceal a falsehood. It is the rich man’s—the millionaire’s persuasive promise and the poor man’s apple of Sodom. It is a disastrous attempt to reverse the eternal law of supply and demand and to engraft on nature a law not established by the Creator. It has strengthened our enemy, and the east, when we are sinking still lower and ask for relief, turns upon us and calls us knaves and fools because we favor the silver dollar.—T. M. Norwood, in Savannah (Ga.) Press.

Getting Anxious.

Mr. Henry Chaplin’s speech at Edinburgh was one of the many signs that the time has come when the banker—if not aS a mere collector and counter of money, at least as the trusted agent of the capital owners—must feel the deepest anxiety about the result of goldgrabbing. —Exchange.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

At Anderson Isaac Goodman, 80, got four years for thieving. He is said to have once been a member of Quantrell'a band. Mbs. Jons Taylor, of Crown Point, ill with consumption, was cured by Christian science, and walked two miles without aid. The democratic state executive committee will call upon local organizations for funds. The convention will be held August 15. Prof. John Fought, professor of mathematics in the State university, Vincennes, was married to Miss Nett.e Brook'e. a teacher of the city schools. In Iflymouth, a few days ago, occurred three conventions. The democratic congressional convention unanimously renominated Hon. Charles G. Con.-j, of Elkhart, present congressman. The second convention nominated for joint senator for St. Joseph and Starke counties Hon. Sylvester Bertram, of Knox. Mr. Bertram has served two terms in the legislature as representative from Starke county. The third convention of the day was called to nominate a judicial ticket for St. Joseph and Laporte counties. After several hours of wrangling E. V. Bingham, of Mishawaka, was nominated for judge and W. H. Bruce, of Michigan City, for prosecutor. A post office has been established at Brown. Clark county, and Frederick Schardein appointed postmaster. The republicans of the Twentyeighth judicial district nominated J. J. Todd, of Bluffton, for judge. C. W. Kennair, of Montpelier, was named for prosecuting attorney. A case resembling smallpox has developed at Hudson. John Day, of Shelbyvilfc, a painter, went to the city cemetery and swallowed a half ounce of laudanum. Out of work. Mbs. Mary Gebhart and daughter, Miss Ollie Quinn, have been placed under arrest by the Anderson authorities. They have been levying a tax on at least a dozen of the wealthy merchants and farmers in the county. They are also wanted by the authorities at Danville, Lebanon, Muncie, Kokomo, Hartford City, Logansport and Madison. They came from Findlay, 0., to Anderson. Farmers in the eastern and northern portion of Miami county report a curious freak of nature in the fact that a perfect letter “B” is to be found on the leaves of the growing oats. Samples brought in show a perfectly form initial lying neai the head of the leaf. Superstitious people regard it as an ill omen, and say it means blood. They claim that preceding the war of 1812, the Mexican war and the civil war the same freak occurred all over the country. They argue that the recur rence of it now with the strained condition of capital and labor, internal strife and strikes all over the country means nothing more nor less than violent bloodshed. Wheat harvest is on in Indiana, and the bulk of the crop will be harvested in a few days. The acreage this year is two and three-quarter millions, which is nine per cent, less than the average. John B. Conner, editor of the Indiana Farmer, estimates that the Indiana wheat crop this year will be 43,500,000 bushels. Henry Discenee, engineer at a coal mine west of Terre Haute, died the other day while on a surgeon’s operating table. His hand had been caught in a cable, and the surgeon was cutting off his fingers, having put Discenee under the influence of an anesthetic. The coroner is investigating the case. John O. Lewellen, Delaware county school superintendent, has been commissioned deputy grand chancellor Knights of Pythias for the district composed of Delaware, Henry, Wayne, Randolph, Jay, Blackford and Grant counties.

The White River Iron and Steel Co., of Muncie, has been recovered from the hands of the receiver, where it has been for some time, and is now in charge of a board of directors composed of E. C. Caleyron, E. R. Templer, W. L. Ball, V. O. Foulke and George M. Cobb. The capital stock is 8100,000, The new articles of incorporation were filed the other day. Mbs. Daniel Etchison, of Indianapolis, was the mother of sprightly twins, six months old. One child was taken v lolently ill and died in a few hours. VV ithout knowing that the trouble lay in some condensed milk it had been fed on the other child was fed from the same can and its death followed. Ths coroner found the cause to be toxine poisoning. John Northway, one of the old-time contracting plasterers of Indianapolis, while overseeing the work of his employes, suddenly reeled forward and died. He was 60 years old. The cause was due to a ruptured blood vessel in the brain. Shearing the dogs is a great fad at Muncie. A crematory may be established at Richmond. Omer Knotts, aged 7, was ' instantly killed by falling from a horse at Elwood, the other day. At Peru, little Bessie Stewart was fatally scalded by falling in a vessel of boiling water. South Bend will have a Ferris wheel junior. At Anderson, Rowell Bartlett committed suicide by hanging himself. His death was due to despondency. Omer Knotts, the 7-year-old son of Christopher Knotts, of Elwood, was thrown from a horse the other evening, his head striking a stone, crushing his skull. He lived nearly two hours, but never regained consciousness. A section of the skull four inches in diameter was forced into the brain. Dr. Levy Connor, trustee of Union township, Howard county, is dead from an overdose of morphine. His books are said to be in a bad tangle. Postoffices established the other day: Peerless, Lawrence county. Jackson J. Barrell, postmaster, and Young, Franklin county, Philip Young, postpiaster.

DEFIANT STRIKERS.

They Prevent Officer* from Moving Trains nt Blue Island, 111. Chicago, July 3.—Strikers anil their friends, numbering near 1,000 men, at Blue Island Monday morning overpowered 300 deputy sheriffs and United States deputy marshals and prevented the clearing of the Rock Island yards at that point. Chief Deputy Marshal Logan was stabbed during the encounter. The wound, inflicted by an unknown assailant, was long, but not deep nor dangerous. It extended from the armpit several inches down the leftside. Many of the strikers were clubbed by the deputies and struck with rocks and stones from 'their own ranks but none were seriously injured. Traffic in an Iron Grasp. Chicago, July 3. —Through intimidation, and in many instances the exercise of violence, the strikers of the American Railway union and their sympathizers held the traffic of the United States throughout the west in an iron grip from sunrise to sunset Monday. The first sturdy attempt made by the state to lift the blockade was balked by the strikers when at Springfield they sidetracked and otherwise interferred with the movement of the Fourth regiment of the Illinois national guards, which was ordered by Gov. Altgeld to Danville and Decatur. Northwestern Men Join the Strike. The Northwestern Hne, one of the stanchest fighters represented on the General Managers’ association, succumbed Monday afternoon. Its suburban service was wholly suspended and only one or two through trains were sent out during the evening. The direct cause of this victory for the strikers was the walk-outof all the firemen employed on the road. They decided to join the strike only after holding several meetings and notifying the officials of the company that they would not haul Pullman cars. As soon as they were out the general superintendent tried to substitute non-union men, but the engineers refused to work with them and nearly every wheel on the line came to a sudden standstill. President Debs has received assurances from Master Workman Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor, and President Mahon, of the National Association of Street Car Employes, that these bodies stand ready to assist the American Railway union in its fight. The force of deputy marshals and sheriffs scattered throughout the various railway yards up to the hour of noon numbered nearly 1,000. Embargo on Necessaries. One of the most serious features of the situation is the effect of the boycott on necessaries. The ice business has been very seriously affected by the strike. Within the last two days the price of ice has jumped from $3.50 to sll a ton and unless the embargo is speedily raised the price will surely leap to a higher figure. In consequence of the strike farmers in the great fruit and vegetable belt of southern Illinois are losing thousands of dollars daily because of their inability to get their berries and tomatoes to market. At a mass meeting of the growers Monday a telegraphic message was sent to Gov. Altgeld, asking him to release their products now held on the side tracks of the Illinois Central road.

The shipment of milk, coal oil and coal is seriously embarrassed. There is, it is said, scarcely a ton of soft coal in the city, although usually 50,000 tons are burned daily. There is, however, an aggregate amount of 200,000 tons of hard coal scattered throughout the various yards, and if the users of the bituminous product purpose to keep their boilers going they must pay the higher price for hard coal. Fruit Rotting;. The vicious grip which the strikers have on the Southern Pacflc and other roads in the far west has effectually stopped the movement of California fruit, which is either spoiling in transit or rotting on the vines or trees. Hundreds of carloads of bananas are decaying on the t acks where the strikers have tampered with the switches and interfered with the movement of perishable freight. Potatoes, it is said, are becoming scarce, and the shipment of fish from the east has been completely throttled. Situation at the Stock Yards. As a result of the general tie-up of the Stock Yards railroads, 6,000 men and 400 girls employed in the big packing houses have been laid off. During the early morning the Burlington road succeeded in bringing in five trains of live stock, each train containing thirty cars. The receipts of live stock at 9 o’clock were 8,000 cattle, 9,000 hogs and about 2,000 sheep, and these will be killed at once for local consumption. No coal has been received at the stock yards since last Thursday and orders have been issued for a general clean up preparatory to shutting down the packing houses. The Burlington road has 463 cars of live stock on the road between Chicago and Galesburg, and the Rock Island has turned 20,000 head of live stock into pasture at Geneseo, 111. The Northwestern road reports having 8,000 head in pasture a few miles east of Clinton. A gang of strikers attacked a nonunion switchman shortly before day break in the stock yards district and beat him severely. They dragged him from the railroad tracks and threw him into the river. The switchman was rescued by police, who drove the mob from the yards.

Hot Day in New Orleans.

New Orleans, July 2.—Sunday was the hottest day that New Orleans has ever seen, the mercury registering 99 in the shade and 115 in the sun. From some of the adjacent towns come reports that the thermometer registered 104 in the shade. Five persons are dead and a number are prostrated. The baseball game had to be stopped on account of the excessive heat and some of the p ayers had to be taken to the hospital in the ambulance and a number of animals had to be killed. The suffering has been intense for severs.! days and deaths have been more frequent than ever
