If it is tree, as alleged by Steward P.
Ileed in the April number of Tbe Gen
tleman Farmer, and by other supporters
t tho gold standard, that Its effects are
Oeneficent and universal, tho farm,
above all other industries of tbe United
States, ought to be in a prosperous con-
. ditioa. The farm, furnishing as it does
flve-oightb of all the articles of export
for which that precious metal is re
ceived and also affording employment
to 8,000,000,000 persons as against
4,000,000 engaged in manufacturing
and other industrial pursuits, might to
fairly reflect the bcuefits of the gold
tandard. To simply say that it has
been beneficial without pointing out
some of these particular bonefits will
not suffice in times like these, when
facta and figures are at the command of
all who can or will read. If there is one
characteristic more than another that
tbe average American possesses it is
fairness. That spirit insures a respect
ful bearing to all, so that there is no
occasion for silence on tbe part of any
one, possessed of the secret. If the gold
tandard is a good thing, tbe American
people want it; if it is not, they do not
The way to determine whether or not it
is a good thing is to note its effect
upon the greatest number and not upon
the few who make tbe greatest display.
Anything in order to be good must
be general. If gold is a good thing, its
beneficent results ought to be some
where manifested outside of New York
or Boston. The fact that money is plen
tiful in theso places is no evidence of na
tional prosperity. On the contrary, it is
more apt to denote a dearth of money
elsewhere. Money, while it possesses a
magic gift in the matter of accumula
tion, does not possess the power of be
ing in the hands of the people and in
tbe bands of the pawnbrokers at one
and the same time. When one has it,
the other is necessarily without it. If
tbe theory that wealth is a -good thing
Without reference to any other condi
tion is true, then highway robbery, in
stead of being nnder the ban of the law,
would receive its sanction.' Tbe man
who Jbolds up a train could say at the
conclusion of bis work that no wrong
bad been committed, because there was
Just as much money on tho train as
there was before he commenced busi
ness, but that plea, while true in a gen
eral senso, would not save him from the
penitentiary. The only case where a
thing can bo said to bu good is where it
produces good to the greatest number.
The fact that property in New York
city has increased in value would be a
good thing for the owners and not
necessarily a bad thing for the nation if
it bad not depreciated in the great
states of the west and sonth. If it can
be shown that those who lived, not by
toil, but by tribute, have dono so at the
expense of the nation's builders, then
the system is wrong and should be
righted.
Those who live in New York deal ex
clusively in money; those who live in
tbe west deal in products alone. The
value of the former's product is estab
lished by the limitation of law -no one
can make it but tho law itself -while
tbe latter is open to tho competition of
the world. As money has no procreative
power of itself, being an inanimate ob
ject, it can only increase by use. That
service and the value of that service
will necessarily be measured by the
number of dollars that are bidding for
employment. If the dollars aio few, the
price will be high; if plentiful, the
price will be low. This is the interest
that tho Yuoney lenders have in scarce
money. Money is their stocft in trade;
they sell it just as labor is sold under
the law of supply and demaud. When it
is scarce, the price of it is high that
is, it will buy more of a given amount
of property of every kind und nature
except its own kind than it will when
it is abundant
In its operation, money runs pnrallol
with labor, being cheap when abundant
and dear when scarce, but in the matter
of its creation it is diametrically oppo
site. The law places a limitation upon
tbe amount of money, but it does not
exercise any control over tho number of
people who come into the world or the
number of acres of cotton or wheat they
cultivate. In this respect the money
owner or tho money lender has an ad
vantage by law over bin fellow mau,
who nnder that same law is obliged to
use money. Tho price that he pays for
tbat mouey will bo determined by tbe
amount cf it in existence. The price, of
course, is not determined in dollars, as
dollars are never wed to buy dollars,
bat by the amount of property it takes
to ixjuirc the dollar. A ;'0 goldpiece,
even though it doubles in value, will
never purvbasa morn than another fao
Coldpieco, but it will purchase 40
trortb of everything due. This is tho
only wy that money tiilmiictg in value,

England is, I would be in favor of mak

we are buying money instead of selling
it I want a cheap dollar and dear prod
nets. Tbe United States, while liberally
endowed with the spirit of philanthropy,
Is not doin 1 business wholly upon that
Nations, like individuals, engage
in business primarily for profit This is
the motive that actuates every man and
every nation in their efforts, and until
such time as the world by "interna
tional agreement" declares its will
ingness to accept tbe Utopian theory I
am opposed to. making the American
farmer and the American cotton grower
feed and clothe Europe at a figure be
low tbe cost of production, as they are
now doing. Philanthropy is all right in
its place, but it has no place in tho
trade relations of nations.
A recent poster of the "Prosperity
Show" see small handbills for partic
ulars announces that the New York
banks contain $350,000,000. Boston can
bo credited with $150,000,000 more,
while Philadelphia and a few other cit
ies on the Atlantic hold enongh addi
tional to make the total $000,000,000.
This is 100 per cent of all the gold or
priaary money and 83 per cent of all
the money in tho United States. How
that money ever got there in such quan
tities is a question I shall leave to the
Lexow committee, while I proceed to
show that no part of it is in the section
that produced it
As tho states of Oregon, Washington
and California form a fairly representa
tive section of the Union, both in the
character and volume of their products,
their condition can safely be said to
represent the condition of all states en
gaged in tho production of articles of
export. During the 50 years from 1854
to 1894 tho state of Oregon produced
wheat, lumber, precious metals and
canned salmon to the amount of $400,
000,000. Ninety per cent ot this was
sold in foreign countries. It went direct
from the point of production to the
point of consumption in Europe. More
than two-thirds of this exportable
wealth was produced on laud that was
the outright gift of the government
and was transported almost wholly up
on natural waterways. The railroad,
which may be to somo extent responsi
ble for agricultural impoverishment in
Kansas and other interior states, plays
but an insignificant part in the impov
erishment of Oregon. Two-thirds of all
this wealth was produced convenient to
waterways, was transported by such
and paid no tribute to railroads what
ever in its primary condition. So far as
the railroad is concerned, every dollar
of tho money received amounting to
$360,000,000 passed direct from the
consumer in Europe to the producer in
Oregon, During that same period the
country that is, tho United States
enjoyed in turn free trade, a high pro
tective tariff and tariff for revenue, so
that whatever was good or evil in these
measures the country experienced. Gold
during all theso years enjoyed equal
privileges as money with silver, and for
many years at least has enjoyed all
privileges, so that its relation to trade
is most clearly defined. If it was a good
thing that is, a thing calculated to en
rich those vho produco wealth some
tangible proof of its goodness will some
where bo in evidence.
If production of wealth constituted
ownership of that wealth, San Fran
cisco, Portland and Seattle would be
tho richest cities in tho world, while
New York, Boston and Philadelphia, if
measured by the same law that is,
their power to bring dollars from other
countries would never have been born.
But what is the condition today? Tho
sections which have brought the only
foreign dollars that ever cume into the
United States (except the proceeds of a
cargo of wooden nutmegs sold by Con
necticut) are practically penniless, while
the sections that never sold a dollar's
worth of produce to the outside world
ond could barely supply their own wants
with the staple articles of life are pos
sessed of all the wealth. The states that
now own all the gold and nearly all of
the silver and never produced an ounce
of either and never sold a dollar's
worth of wheat, cotton, corn, lumber or
beef to tho world are rich beyond meas
ure, while the states that produced and
exported these things to tbe extent of
$13,000,000,000 are so poor that a strict
interpretation of tho vagrant law would
land all of them in jail. J. T. Flynu
in Knights of Labor Journal.
The Cruwi of Truats.
The politicians of both tho great old
parties have agreed with tho peoplo that
trusts are a greut evil iu our body poli
tic. It is strange that it has never occurred
to any of these statesmen to look for tho
causes that produce trusts and to point
out to tho people these causes and to
look for a means to remove tho causes.
If we could tomorrow break the cor
ner on the money market, if we could in
fuse new lifo into the veins cf com
rm roe, if prices should begiu to rixo,
nearly every trust in existence would
crumble and viuiUh like fog before the

TOBACCO AS CURRENCY.
Virginia Planter Grew la Wealth b;
Coining- Their Own Prod act.
Seeing in The Express that many in
dependent or private mints are spring
ing up over tbe country, these enter
prises not only being profitable to them
selves, but of public benefit by increas
ing the currency, I cannot see why th r
should be so much objection to them
when we consider that prior to the Rev
olutionary war tobacco was currency i:i
the colony of Virginia. Tobacco was
made currency and a legal tender by tho
house of burgesses, with tbe concurrence
of the governor, who was appointed ly
the crown of Englund.
Yes, tobacco was a legal tender for
all debts both public and private. The
planter paid bis merchant's bills with
it Taxes were paid with it Tho sher
iff's fees and the minister's salary were
all paid in tobacco. Tho planters were
both the miners and coiners of money,
and a plantation was then better than a
silver mine is now, for its owner had not
only the liberty of mining, but also tbo
liberty of coining into money, and any
man who had sufficient musclo and en
ergy to handle the plow and the bee
could be the producer of legal teller
money. And during the time thac to
bacco was currency the citizens of tho
colony of Virginia grew in wealth, in
intelligence and in influence more rap
idly than any other people ever did in
the same time. They outstripped all the
other colonies iu wealth and influ
ence. Even at the present day her de
scendants now residing in the far west
are continually writing back, tracing
their ancestors into Virginia, looking
back with pride and honor to those
great grandparents who used tobacco as
currency.
Now, Mr. Eaynolds, bow is this? Wo
bad privileges then even under the Brit
ish crown that we do not have now if
the miner has not tho right to coin bis
silver into money.
What was the Revolutionary var
fought for? Were the privations and
hardships endured by tho continental
soldier for the purpose of replacing the
despotism of the crown of England
with a worse and moro oppressive one,
the despotism of land sharks and usu
rers? It is said the continental soldiers
could bo trucked by the blood from their
bare feet upon the frozen ground or snow,
enduring hardships that no other sol
diers ever did, thinking, no doubt, that
the precious blood thus spent would one
day bo repaid by tho blessed freedom en
joyed by their descendants. Now must
we admit that this waa all a farce and
a fraud? As an illustration of the facts
given above I will copy an order of tbe
county court which 1 found some years
ago in a record book in old Uuppahan
nock, now extinct This is copied ver

POPULIST RAILWAY SCHEME.
Oovernor Ied7 OflVn a Flu For Stat
Ownership.
The scheme of a people's railway waa
broached by Governor Leedy at an in
dignation meeting of 3,000 Populists
beld here to discuss freight rates, and
bis proposition was enthusiastically re
ceived.
After referring to tbe recent supreme
court decision further curtailing the
authority of the interstate commerce
commission, be declared that tbe time
bad come for the people of the west to
act, and he said tbat tbey mast them
selves furnish the needed relief from ex
orbitant freight rates.
He proceeded to outline bis plan,
which, he said, bad been maturing for
four months. He announced tbat be ap
peared as the representative of a com
pany of railroad men, who desired to go
into partnership with the pubho in the
building of a railroad from some point
in central Nebraska, through Kansas,
Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas,
to the gulf.
He said the company waa able and
ready to complete tbe road, provided
tbe public would take the majority in
terest in it, and tbat the public need not
put up ono cent until tbe railroad
should be completed.
The proposition is tbat tbe states and
municipalities shall bold the majority
of stock. The men associated with him
did 'not propose to take in any outside
capital save that of tbe states And mu
nicipalities, which would be tbe ma
jority, and they proposed to run the
railroad themselves or to allow the ma
jority interests to run it.
The stocks and bonds of the company
it if proposed to issue through the Tex
as railroud commissioners or the other
states owning, as might be agreed.
" Prominent Texans, tho governor said,
bad expressed 11 willingness to take bold
of tho scheme, and he believed that
Texas was willing to invest somo of her
122,000,000 in surplus school funds to
secure more equitable freight rates.
It is asserted, too, that the 4,500 con
victs in Texas could be put to work on
the roadbed, the state receiving pay for
their labor iu first mortgage bonds.

Logansport, Ind., has furnished an
other illustration of tho infamously rot
ten financial system which curses the
country at the present time. Business
everywhere is dependent on the banks,
and tho banks are dependent on depos
itors for their capital. Whenever it pays
better to quit business than to continue,
a suspension is the natural course in
this ago of business activity. The pres
ident of the national bank at Logans
port raked in $300,000 in cash from his
patrons, largely farmers who thought
it very accommodating of Uncle Sam to
establish a national bank where they
could deposit their money safely. When
