THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT
Sept. 18, 1902
; The answer to this question is: a lim
j ited amount of paper money, which
V limit can be controlled by the govern
- ment that acts for the benefit of so
1 ciety generally, instead of allowing a
.' few owners of gold to control the lim
it of money, as they do by a system of
-coinage which they call "free," but
: is free only to these few who own the
gold; it is so free to these people that
'. it allows them to curse, damn and kill
X-aH other kinds of money; and send
them to perdition by refusing to re-
: deem them. -
Money, then, being a mechanism de
signed for the benefit of all and there
fore called a "mechanism of socie-
tary life," what is its peculiar work
or function? Del Mar answers this
; question by saying that it is "de-
signed to measure and determine val-
7." ue." Here you see that he brings in
that terrible word "value," which has
: bothered economists for hundreds of
years, if not for thousands; and that
other bothersome word "measure,"
which, I think, he might have avoided
by saying that "money is designed to
a'termine value." He chooses, how-
- ever, to use the two words "measure"
and "determine," in defining money;
r bo that we have "value," which is a
ratio of exchange, to be measured and
determined by money.
But, in using the word "measure,"
Mr. Del Mar wants us to understand
that money is a vast and complicated
piece of mechanism; and that it is
something more than a yard-stick or
simple machine designed to measure
distances. If we can come to the idea
that money is a mechanism, a socie
tary mechanism, designed for the ben
efit of all, then we shall have no diffi
culty in seeing how money becomes
a measure of value, not only a meas
ure, but a correct measure, a just meas
: ure, an honest measure; and we shall
see that gold cannot be such a meas
ure, as Jong as we allow it to be our
only real money, our only money that
does not need redemption.
The cause of all the confusion about
money, tue reason why we have not
been able to see how money is or acts
as a measure of value, is to be found
in the fact that we allow gold, by
weight and not by tale, to be money,
our only real money. This destroys
the coinage laws, so far as they relate
to gold, because gold coins are not dol
. Jars unless they weigh a certain
amount of gold. This is not the case
with silver dollars; they are dollars
independent of the amount of silver
in them. When we can get a money
that is independent of a metal, and is
to be taken, regardless of the amount
of metal in it, then we shall see clear
ly what value is and how money acts
as a measure of value. As the law
now stands, a certain amount of gold
(25 8-10 grains), coined or uncoined, is
declared and enacted to be a "unit of
value," which turns value into a com
modity, instead of a ratio of exchange
between any two commodities; and
that commodity is gold.
As soon as we allow the statute to
make us think that value is a commod
ity instead of a numerical relation be
tween any two commodities in ex
change, we have not only lost a cor
rect idea of value, but we have lost a
correct idea of money and we are act
ually unable to see how it can act" as
a. measure of value.
The first thing to do, in reforming
our money system, is to repeal so
much of the law as declares that a cer
; tain amount of gold is or can be a
unit of value, which will have to be
done by repealing so much of the law
as allows "free" coinage of gold.
As I said above, Del Mar might
have defined money by saying, that it
is a societary mechanism designed to
determine value and thus have omitted
. the word measure. His idea is, that
money is not so much a medium of ex
change as a measure of value. He
seems to think that money is the thing
that enables us to see and express the
value of things, as a yard-stick is a
thing that enables us to see and ex
press distances. If so, then money is
the thing that determines value, and
this includes the idea of measuring
value. Del Mar, however, thought
proper to say, that money is a socie-
tary mechanism designed not only to
measure, but to determine value. He
is very fond, all through his writings,
of treating money as a measure of
value merely, and I think he does this
because he not only knows that our
present system of money doe's not
measure or determine value correctly,
but he has in his mind a system that
would do absolute justice to all, a sys
tem that would be not only "designed
to measure and determine value" cor
rectly, but would actually do it.
How does money, as a mechanism,
measure value? It does it by giving a
price to every commodity, which is
tue quantity of money any commidity
sells for or can be sold for. This en
ables us to see not only the value be
tween any two commodities or ser
vices, but how far each commodity or
service will go in payment of taxes,
interest, rent and other debts. For in
stance, if silver sells for 60 cents per
ounce, we can ascertain the value of
silver with reference to gold by as
certaining how many grains of gold
there are in 60-100 of a gold dollar,
counting 25 8-10 grains at a whole
gold dollar, as the law requires. Hav
ing ascertained this, we know how
many grains of gold are equal to an
ounce of silver or 420 grains. This
will not only give us the value of silver
with reference to gold, which will be
about 32 of silver to one of gold, but it
will show how far silver will go In
paying debts. We know just how far
gold will go in paying debts, because
the law regulates that; it says that
every 25 a-io grams snail De a dol
lar, without any regard to the value
of gold, with respect to silver or any
other commodity. Here the gigantic
fraud of "free" coinage of gold com
mences. Our money measures value so badly
that we are almost inclined to think
that it is no measure of value at all;
but we must not so conclude. On the
contrary, we must think that our
money is a fraud and ought to be abol
ished, or amended so as to be a cor
rect measure of value.
We must so talk and write that our
"plain" people will be able to see that
good money is not only designed to
be a measure of value, but that our
present system of money is designed
to be a very bad measure of value.
Those people who are advocating
"free coinage of gold and calling it a
gold standard, ought to know that
they are setting up a measure of val
ue, which will delude themselves, and
all the rest of mankind, if they persist
in carrying their so-called standard
all around the world.
We must begin to reform by closing
the mlnt3 to "free" coinage of gold.
The reform cannot be accomplished by
advocating "free" coinage of silver.
It is absolutely necessary that con
gress have control over the volume of
money, Instead of allowing the own
ers or gold or suver to have control
over this volume or measure of value.
If we allow ourselves to drift into the
idea that "free" coinage of silver is a
good thing, and, li we should pursuade
the American people that it is a good
thing, and even succeed In inducing
congress to open the mints to "free"
coinage of silver, we would be further
away from a perfect money, a perfect
measure of value, than we are now.
What is wanted now is not mere mon
ey, but a better quality of money. It
is a good time now to close the mints
to "free" coinage - of -gold, because
there is a prospect of extraordinary
supplies from the mines, and that gold
may be so abundant that a few owners
will not be able to control the prod
uct and thereby control prices. Some
of them are now . beginning to think
that it would be a good thing, even
for themselves, to close the mints to
"free" coinage of gold and have only
a limited number of gold coins struck,
as we coin only a limited number of
silver dollars. But we ought not to
favor closing te mints to "free" coin
age or gold, because tne gold bugs
want it. We ought to do it in the in
terest of an honest money, an hon
est measure of value. If we put our
selves in the position of standing for
justice and justice only, we will soon
appeal to the moral sense of the na

REPUBLICAN PROSPERITY
Fifty Thontand Women and Children
Trample Over Each Other- to Get Gift
of Pennies or a Spoonful of
Ice cream
That the opinion of The Indepen
dent was founded on indisputable facts
when it denounced the plutocrats of
Chicago for opening the republican
turr.paign with a lottery and bribes to
women and children is shown in the
aciovnts given of the occasion by the
organs of plutocracy themselves. The
follo-.Y?'ng description of the degrad
ing and disgraceful occurrence is tak
ea from the chief organ of plutocracy
and the republican party in the state
( Illinois, the Chicago Daily Tribune,
oi SepTijuber 14:
"Thirty thousand children, women
and men, in the order of their numeri
cal importance, were scrambling for
2,000 gallons of ice cream. Twenty
thousand more were fighting for 50,000
pennies incased by 5,000 purses, each of
which held 10 cents. Ten thousand
were struggling to reach tubs hold
ing 2,000 gallons of lemonade.
"If all thi3 can be imagined as hap
pening at once, with an additional
10,000 women trying to secure any
thing from a town lot to a spool of
thread in the distribution of prices, a
picture can be secured of Sans Souci
park fifteen minutes after the gates
had been thrown back for the opening
of the Cook county republican cam
paign yesterday afternoon."
That one day's work of the republi
can party did more to make beggars
and paupers of Chicago's citizens than
all the work of all the organized
charities can overcome in five years.
These men, women and children were
taught by the leaders of the republi
can party to look for gifts instead of
becoming self-supporting, independent
citizens. But the Tribune gives fur
ther accounts of this mob of republi
can paupers. It says:
"The 5,000 purses were literally
pounced upon by the 20,000 children
who were expecting them. The result
was chaos. Gatetenders were swept
aside in the mad rush of the young
sters like logs on the bank of a sud
denly swollen river. The fences be
tween and around the gates proved in
effectual barriers, and the boys
swarmed over them. The invading
troop entered the park like a charge
of wild Indians."
Two objects were accomplished by
the millionaires who furnished funds
for this work. The first was to keep
the republican party in power and the
second was to degrade American citi
zens to the level of European peasants,
so that they could bet worked like
slaves and robbed with impunity for
all time to. come.
The robbery was going on at the
same time. The few pennies that were
scattered among the people, as the
old Roman nabobs were wont to cast
handfuls of coins among the plebians
and slaves, had been taken a thousand
over xrom that very crowd the day
before by a trust which this same re
publican party built up and fostered by
its policies. Here is the evidence tak
en from this same paper. On Sep
tember 13 it published the following:

A NEW JIISCOVERY
MADE BY A MAN IN ALLEGHENY,
PENNSYLVANIA
George C. Eldride Find Something
Which Many Consider to be Better
Than Gold Ills Statement
There is much talk in the town of
Allegheny, pa., over the discovery
made by Mr. George C. Eldridge of that
piace. Alter a long search he has
round something better than gold. In
a recent Interview he says:
"Yes, I have made what I consider
to be an important discovery. To tell
you about it I must start at the be
ginning. "That was a number of years ago,"
he continued. "The nature of my
work forced me to be very irregular
with my meals and that, together with
a general misuse of my stomach,
brought on nervous dyspepsia. My
trouble commenced with bloating con
stipation and this was accompanied
with pain in the back and stomach.
I suffered with shortness of breath
and palpitation of the heart, sleepless
ness and an absolutely miserable feel
ing at all times. About three years
ago I had an attack which confined
me to my bed for three weeks and
times without number after that I was
obliged to give up. My kidneys also
became affected and caused me con
siderable trouble.
"Four different doctors attempted to
cure me but they gave me only tempo
rary relief. I became utterly discour
aged. Then I tried Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. Relief
came in about a week and at the end
of Jour months I was entirely well.
"I can only say that I believe I owe
my life to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and
can find no words to express my thanks
for what they have done for me. Bet
ter than gold is but mild praise for
them. Everybody who knows me re
marks the wonderful change. I can
eat anything now, sleep like a child
and do my work with ease. I do not
need medicine any more although I
always keep Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People on hand."
Mr. Eldridge lives at No. 235 Carroll
street, and is but one of thousands
who always speak of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills in the highest terms of
praise. They know what this remedy
will do, for they have used it. It acts
directly on the blood and nerves.

DIRECT LEGISLATION
Why all Reformers Should Favor It Dr.
Hill Believe no Substantial Reform'
can Como Without It
Editor Independent: Thanks for
your courteous publication of my let
ter in your issue of some weeks ago.
Before I reply to your cricicism per
mit me to congratulate you in running
a paper that allows views contrary to
those held by the editor to appear in
its columns. I fully recognize the right
of every editor to allow in his paper
that which he likes and reject all oth
er contributions. According to the
single tax principle a newspaper is the
private property of its owners and the
single tax teaches that it is the right
of every one to do what he pleases
with his own. Your treatment of the
single taxers will pay you in the end
as the body of men represent the core
of radical thought in the east and
northeastern states. It is in my opin
ion a matter of considerable political
importance that a correct understand
ing should be arrived at between these
thinkers and others in the west.
You ask me the question, "Is it a
good idea to drop argument on what
you believe is right, simply because
somebody is prejudiced?" Assuredly
no. When I am arguing for direct
legislation I am, according to my view,
arguing for the single tax. There is
the closest possible relation between
the two ideas. Direct legislation
means true political liberty. The sin
gle tax means true economic freedom.
The single tax is the only
true system of direct taxation. In con
tra distinction to our present system
of indirect government, direct legis
lation gives us direct government, just
as the single tax would give us direct
taxation in place of indirect taxation.
In case we get both the people who
pay all the taxes under any system
would have absolute control of both
the incidence of the taxation and the
amount to be taken for public pur
poses. In this way I think all ground
for prejudice against trying the sin
gle tax wouid be removed as the peo
ple could easily change back again to
taxing all the products of labor if they
saw fit to do so. I do not like to at
tack an editor, least of all one who
has been so kind as to publish my lucu
brations, but I think I have tihe right
to explain why I ignored. The Inde
pendent's question asking if it would
be fair to "tax his residence lot at ex
actly the same as the lot upon which
stands a factory producing $10,000
worth of goods per month, assuming
the rental value of the two lots to be
equal." I answer yes it would be all
right to tax them just the same if
you can find one solitary instance of
the kind in the entire world. I am
sorry to say doctors do not inhabit
houses located on land so valuable. I
wish our remuneration for our profes
sional services allowed us to do so, but
it does not, as the 100,000 or more phy
sicians of the United States are as a
rule men of moderate means. You do
not find many (if any) millionaires

nit
among them none at all who have ac
quired such a sum from their profes
sional practice. If there is a mil
lionaire physician in the country he
has made his millions in land or mon
opolistic speculation not from attend
ing the sick.' The doctor as an econ
omic factor is in the same boat as any
other laborer his fees are his wages
and in common with all other forms
of productive : labor his wages are
steadily gravitating down to the star
vation point .This is true also of law
yers and clergymen who ,are really
workers for( justice and religion. I
know lawyers who work for the high
est ideals. Also clergymen. But they
are invariably poor men. To all men
comes a time when each must decide
for himself whether he will "serve
God or Mammon" and the great body
declare for the latter if they have the
chance to serve this kind of a god.
The chances for being paid in this ser
vice are, however, yearly becoming
limited to fewer and fewer individuals
so that we may reasonably expect a
reaction towards the service of God
which consists in the main in serving
your fellow-man. In order to serve
our fellow-man we must get the means
to do so. The means I take it lies in
direct legislation. The way to do. it is
to advocate the adoption of the single
tax. If I was socialist, which I am not,
I would go in for direct legislation. I
do not believe in prohibition, but if I
did, I would not think for a moment
of advocating it until direct legislation
was secured. I never was a populist
simply because they have so many
things in their platform (most of
which I believe in) that I knew could
never be realized under our present
form of government. All reforms must
come to know the simple fact that the
United States is not now nor has it
ever been since the adoption of the
constitution "a government of the
people, by the people and for the peo
ple." Until this idea is actually incor
porated into the fundamental law of
the land what can you do by discussing
remedies for social evils? I say abso
lutely nothing. You may change from
cne party to another, but what good
does that do? We have tried all that
sort of thing in Maryland in the last
ten years and nothing has come of it.
Three years ago I had intended to drop
all political discussion (and even vot
ing) when I heard of a political move
ment under the name of The Union Re
form Party, having for its sole object
direct legislation. I took part in that
little movement. I think its present

RED HOT TIME AHEAD
Biff Fepullstio Meetluffn Held in Boston
and Chicago Public Ownership
of Monopolies Demanded
At a large meeting In Faneuil Hall,
Boston, resolutions were unanimously
adopted demanding government own
ership and operation of the anthracite
coal mines. Bishop Fallows, who pre
sided, seems to have seen a new light
fcr he declared that "if God wills we
may yet . see the time , when present
conditions will be corrected and the
coal mines and other public utilities
be owned by the American people and
worked for the benefit of all and not
for the benefit of a few magnates."
Even the conservative Judge Dunne
squinted in the same direction, for he
said:
"To the call of the 150,000 miners
that the question be submitted to ar
bitration 20 men, through their
mouthpiece, President Baer, say that
these miners were turned over to them
by Divine Providence and that there is
nothing to arbitrate. The God I be
lieve in is a just and humane God and
I do not believe that he would take
men of the stamp of Baer and his asso
ciates into partnership with him.
These men own, by right of law, and
what the law gives the law can take
away, not by confiscation, but by con
demnation. The people enact the laws
and, if necessary, the people can ac
quire this property and administer
it for the common benefit."
In Chicago there was another big
meeting and the addresses of the dis
tinguished men who spoke were along
the same populistic lines. Rev. W. E.
Burton of the Congregational church
said that if President Baer is a Stewart
of God he is a mighty poor one; Rev.
H. W. Thomas of the People's church
wno "pitied the Christ that has to
bear Baer" and declared mat u i& su
ing to be evolution or revolution in
this country in relation to the monop
oly problem; and Rev. Dr. P. H.
Swift of the Wesleyan Methodist
church, who took up the role of
prophet and said: "I prophesy that
as in the French revolution, which
sent the feudal system skyward, pub
lic opinion will explode in this country
unless something is speedily done, and
it will blow the private rights of trusts
a thousand leagues skyward." The
resolutions appealed to Governor Stone
of Pennsylvania to employ every legal
and moral means available to force an
end of tbe strike by arbitration or
otnerwise. A contribution for the
striking miners was taken up, and in
..ie entnusiasm aroused by the speak
ers people in the galleries of the
churci threw money to the lower floor
as the boxes were passed around. It
was decided to ask all the Chicago
churches next Sunday to take up con
tributions in aid of the strikers.
The anthracite railroad officials claim
to be acting in the interest of their
stocknolders. If the latter desire to
have the ownership of their mines
transferred to the state or national
government at a price which will fait
short of the watered capitalization of
their corporations, they will persist
