THE FOG OF WORDS
Mr. Van Vorhls Wishes to ATold Getting:
xoa t in an ruconoinic iicnot ui
.... Ambiguity
"Editor Independent: There is one
thing I am anxious to avoid. I do not
wish to raise a fog of words, and get
lost in it myself.
It frequently occurs that one anx
ious to blaze a new way through the
economic thicket makes a circuit when
he thinks he is moving in a straight
line, and comes out on the same side
he went In, having succeeded in get
ting nowhere.
This is sure to be the case with one,
who thinks he can give to words a pre
'cise meaning, and that there is no dif
ficulty in expressing and conveying
Ideas with precision. There are few
words, comparatively, in the use of
which it is not necessary to consider
the language of which they may form a
part, and the standpoint of thought,
to determine the meaning intended to
be conveyed.
It is idle to talk about giving a word
a precise meaning by definition, and
then holding to that meaning. I do
not care how a writer defines words if
his language is so constructed that I
can get from it the idea he intends to
convey. The idea Is much more im
portant than the language. Ambiguity
Is by no means rare in literature. Not
ambiguity; in the striking sense that
we call a "play upon words," but in
the sense that the idea is modified by
words rather than that the idea de-.
termines the use of the words. The
reader, who reads with a fixed concep
tion of the meaning of words, will read
into language his own ideas rather
than get out of the language the ideas
of the writer.
. Take the word "rise." In the general
sense we mean going away from the
earth. The earth is the objective or
standpoint m me mougnt. u we ap
ply this word to the sun, with the
earth as the objective point in thought,
it is correct to say the "sun rises."
If, however, the fixed point in thought
is the sun, we cannot correctly say the
"sun rises." Increase of knowledge
has shown us the true relation between
the earth and the sun, but we do not
quit saying the "sun rises." With this
increase; of knowledge, we know just
as well what is meant when we say"
the "sun rise.s," as we do when we
say he "balloctn rises," and yet the
ideas are not the same.
. One man with the conception of fixed
meaning of words will contend that
science contradicts the Bible, for does
not the Bible speak of the "rising of
the sun?" . Another with the same
conception will -say science disputes
the Bible, for does riot science prove
that the "sun aoes not rise?" .
Does any man of education require.to
be told that increase of knowledge
modifies and alters the meaning and
use of words; that words take on new
meanings, or new, shades of meaning?
Who does not know that in literature
and science many words are not now
used with the same meaning they were
formerly used, for: the" reason that in
crease of knowledgeTias shown the in
correctness of some; old ideas? The
oid ideas are discarded, but the words
are retained to express new ideas, new
conceptions of things.
The man who reads economic litera
ture today,, if he does scr with the best
intelligence and gets the most out of
it. must have some; .familiarity with
the history andj,;dfeveTlojpment of the
science. ' '"-'M ' '" ' '
There is probably no class of litera
ture in which the words peculiar to it,
and its technical phrases, are used
with a greater variety of meanings and
shades of meaning than economic lit
erature. There has been progress in
this science as well as others.' There
have been discoveries. New thoughts
have come into it. It makes no dif
ference whether the new thoughts are
correct or incorrect, if they have had
any very wide acceptance, they have
modified the meanings, of its language
and technical phrase "'Of this the
student of economics must have some
knowledge, or he will stir up a fog in
his own thought and lose himself in it.
In a social organization, where the
wants of inuividuals . are supplied by
exchanging each others' productions,
a relation will exist, not only between
two commodities, but between all com
modities; that is, every single com
modity will sustairf in exchange some
relation to every other' and to all other
commodities. It is clear that no two
commodities can be isolated, and have
a relation in exchange that will be
free from the influence of other rela
tions between other commodities.
Economists are now almost univer
sally agreed that this relation between
commodities in exchange, or under the
possibility of exchange, is value. Bas
tiat clearly say that value in economics
is a relation, or, as Jevons expressed
it, a ratio, of exchange, .but he did not,
it seems, fully comprehend that this
relation was not, expressed - by "two
commodities," but by that multiplicity
of relationship or that more com
plex . relationship that ; exists between,
all exchangeable . commodities, as
stated by Del Mar. But here again is
a difficulty in language. There is a kin
ship between the words "relation" and
"ratio," but they are not the same,
and do not mean precisely the same

thing. - Relation is not necessarily nu
merical, while, ratio, is. . Bastiat said.
"value is a relation," etc Jevons said,
"value is a ratio," etc. Del Mar said,
."value is a numerical relation." Now,
what was, the idea in the mind of each
that caused the different language
used? We must conclude, I think, that
Bastiat , was thinking of value as a
universal relationship while 11 Jevons
was thinking of it as applied to spe
cific things. Del Mar, by using the
word ."relation" and modifying it -by
the word, "numerical," has expressed
an idea of value in more precise and
exclusive language than either Bastiat
or Jevons. But I do not mean to dis
cuss the relative merits of these state
ments, but ratuer to call attention to
the fact that the thinker, who does not
distinguish the difference in the stand
points of thought, will inevitably in
volve, himself in profitless discussions.
Looking at value abstractly, It can
not be said to. be higher or lower. If
I say "water seeks a level," the ques
tion or thought of height does not en
ter into it. I have used "level" in a
sense in which it has no relation to
anything but water. It would be lit
tle short of nonsense to start a discus
sion about whether "level" could be
high or I0w could rise or fall.
When the question is asked, "Can
value rise?" it presumes that the con
sideration of .value, or the standpoint,
is no longer abstract but concrete. If
I talk about value in the abstract as
applied to all exchangeable things, the
very idea of rise and fall is excluded,
just as the idea of height is excluded
when I say "water seeks a level."
The question "Is it possible for val
ue to rise or fall?" has no intelligent
meaning, unless the question "Value of
what?" is first answered. When this
is answered, that is, when value is ap
plied to: some exchangeable thing,
there is no room for discussion, for it
would be absurd to deny that there is
any exchangeable thing of which the
value may not rise , or fall.
In this sense, rise or fall is a change
in relation. Who is it that cares to
discuss the possibility of relations
changing?
The very thought of relation or ratio
involves the thought of more than one
thing, but, if there are only two, it is
Impossible, when the relation is
changed, to tell which one of the two
has changed or altered" its position
with reference to the other. There can
be no question of higher or. lower, of
rise or fall, until a third element is in
troduced, when it may be found that
with reference to this third thing,
that one has not changed and that the
other has risen or fallen. It is not
necessary with reference to the com
mon standard that if one rises the
other must fall, although this may oc
cur. If gold and silver are used as an
illustration, it is impossible, if the
relation of the two metals is consid
ered alone, to tell whether gold rose
or silver fell in value between 187G
and 1896. If, however, the third ele
ment, commercial commodities, is in
troduced, It is possible, to determine.
If it is found that during the time there
was little or no change in the ex
changeable relation between silver and
commodities, but that gold from time
to time purchased a larger and larger
quantity; of commodities, then it is
clear that gold rose in value and t&at
silver did not fall.
If the claim of mathematicians is
correct (and there is no doubt about
it), that ratio is equivalent to " and
synonymous with quotient, then it is
not proper to say "higher or lower ra
tio," but greater or less. The quotient
or ratio of 1 to 16 is 16, and of 1 to 32
is 32, and 32 is greater than 16. Sup
pose we turn the proposition around.
The quotient or ratio of 16 to 1 is 1-16,
and of 32 to 1 is 1-32, and 1-32 is less
than 1-16.
Thus, we see that, when value is con
sidered in the only way it is possible
to -ply it practically, that is, in'the
concrete, it can and does rise and fall,
and that this rise and fall is not merely
apparent, but real. If price is "value
expressed in terms of money," then
the law gave value to gold when it
was made legal tender. The "statutory"
value "of gold or silver, or any kind
of money, is when it is made a "stand
ard for the payment of debts." If
price is "value expressed in money,"
then substitute the words "value ex
pressed in money" for the word "price"
in the following sentence.
"Either system Is well adapted to
make the people believe that value can
rise or fall, whereas, in fact, it is only
price rising and falling," and you
have the following:
"Either system is well adapted to
make the people believe that value can
rise or fall, whereas, it is only value
expressed in money rising and fall
ing; and in this,
"Under our present system prices
are very unstable. They are up and
they are down," and you nave it tnis
way:
: "Under our present -system values
expressed In money are very, unsta
ble. They are up and they are down,"
and in this, ...
"What we call a rise and fall or val
ues is only a rise and fall of prices."
! VVhat we call a rise and rail or val
ues is only a rise and ran ot values
expressed in money.'
The absurdity of the situation is
obvious for, if "value expressed in
money can rise ana ,ian, now in me
name of philology can it be said that
value expressed in any other way in
exchange can not rise and fall?

Advance of Populism
The Chicago Record-Herald, in dis
cussing Hill's speech In Brooklyn in
defense of the. New York state demo
cratic platform demanding the public
ownership of the anthracite coal
mines, says: ' . ' , -
"Mr. Hill declared for government
ownership and operation of the coal
mines, and shouted defiantly: 'And if
this be socialism,"1 let them make the
most of it' Whether it is socialism or
not, it is something that was never
contemplated by a national democratic
convention. The platform of 1896,
which , has often been denounced as
dangerously radical, ; contained noth
ing of such radical import. An over
whelming majority of the delegates
who attended the conyention of 1892
most probably would; have condemned
it as populism. ; '
. "But even the populists; who have
been held up to ridicule' as cranks and
visionaries, never, . quite reached Mr.
Hill's position in their national resolu
tions. Their nlatform of 1892 urces
government ownership -and operation
of railroads, telegraph and telephones,
all the ; natural - sources of wealth, is
the heritage of the; people and should
rot be monopolized for speculative pur
poses. The . sentence .quoted might
be, made to apply to coal lands, . but
it was dictated in the, agrarian inter
estsas Is shown by this addition:
'All. land now held by railroads and
other corporations.; in, excess of their
actual heeds, and all lands now owned
by aliens, should" he reclaimed by the
government and, held by actual settlers
only."v - . .
' "The resolutions .adopted , by the
party in 1896 . were, to the same effect.
There was; no -hint in them that the
government should run a business like
the coal business; and yet today a
prominent .leader, of -one of the older
conservative parties; which may con
trol from six 'to eight million votes
advocates the scheme in full confidence
that he . will meet: with popular ap
proval. v .: : ' v y v '
"For this, confidence, moreover, he
has much apparent, reason. It Is
doubtful if such a ripid and extensive
conversion ever occurred s before in
the history of the" country. Conditions
have accomplished in six months what
the mere theorizine of populists and
V 1 ifcitt 7 ""'"' -ma I rvtifm- nrmv
avid B. Hill
The 'Springfield Republican, in dis
cussing Dave Hill's sudden flop to ex
treme populism, says:
If Mr. Hill be tested along this line,
it will be found that he is destitute of
any convictions or principles for
which he would make a consistent and
resolute fight regardless of thei- pop
ularity, or effect" upon his personal for
tunes. His career, up to the present
time, shows that he passes from the
side of conservatism to that of radi
calism or stays on the fenceignor
ing; cynically the deepest qualities of
the human mind, with the ease and fa
cility of a Florentine courtier in the
days of Machiavelli. When, in 1896,,
radicalism naa won a predominant po
sition in the councils and manage
ment of the democratic party Mr. Hill's
course was to; run to cover. His sa
gacious politician's instinct tbtd him
that he would forever destroy his po
litical strength among the most con
servative classes of . New' Yorlc state
if he should openly and actively es
pouse the cause of silver, while it also
told him that the silver cause was
doomed to defeat Had he believed that
the Bryan cause would win, who can
doubt for a moment that he would
early have come to its support? But
the course Mr. Hill actually followed
was illustrative of his lack of political
principle. T am still a democrat," he
wrote, to a friend in that campaign
"very still." That is to say, he took no
side at all in a contest which no man
of real conviction could have ignored.
Now that individual has proved his
utter lack of deep convictions by this
fact, that whereas he posed as a con
servative and railed against the in
come tax in 1894 on the ground, that it
was the offspring of a dangerous and
socialistic radicalism, he now leaps the
fence and comes down squarely on the
radical and socialistic side in declar
ing fot the federal ownership of the
anthracite coal fields of the country.
v Bosses Waited Too Long
The republican government of
Pennsylvania had been disposed to en
force the law, the coal operators could
have been brought to terms at any
time. If any one has doubt, it is only
necessary to remind him that the oper
ators are the most flagrant violators of
law in the whole land, and especially
are they of the laws of
Pennsylvania,, which prohibits coal
carrying railroads from ' having any
interest in the mining, and forbids the
same person from serving as a direc
tor of a coal-carrying railroad, and a
coal mining company. Every one
knew that to be the case and yet not
a move was made to bring these great
criminals to justice until it began to
appear that there was danger that the
republican party might be thrown out
of power both in Pennsylvania and
New York. Then the bosses "got a
hnstle on themselves" and informed
these land pirates that the law might
be enforced. It seems that soon after
that Baer found out that there was
something to arbitrate.
The bosses may have waited top
long. An impetus has been given to
populist principles that will be hard
to check. . The principle of the govern
ment ownership of. monopolies has
been brought before millions of peo
pie, .who never heard of it except in
scoffs and sneers. It has had the in
dorsement of some of the ablest law
yers in the land and conventions com
posed of the very best men of all par
ties have given it their sanction ana
approval. It. is altogether probable
that the bosses waited too long.
Mutual Insurance
Mutual Insurance is popullstic, even
though the people's party may not be
able : to lay claim to originating, the
idea. A glance at the statutes or Ne
braska will settle any dispute about
the party's position on the question
The legislatures of 1891 and 1897 were
populist bodies. The mutual ' insur
ance laws of Nebraska date back to
1891 and 1897.
Last summer State Superintendent
Fowler submitted a question to Attor
ney General Prout, asking his opinion
as to the legality of school districts
insuring school houses in mutual com
panies. The attorney general wrote
the superintendent a profound (?) let
ter in which he held that a school
board had no legal right to hazard the
district's credit by insuring in a mu
tual company, and advising that school
houses be insured in old-line compa
nies. That was before the campaign
liad made much headway..
But Col. Harry Lindsay discovered
that Prout's "speil" for old line com
panies was hurting the ticket in local
ities where mutual insurance has many
staunch friends." Republicans pop
ulists, and democrats alike have found
mutual insurance an . excellent thing
for the protection of private property,
and they couldn't quite understand the
hair-splitting subtleties of Prout's rea
soning. Apd they were "f erninst the
ticket that stands against mutual in
surance, vvnat is good enougn ior
their own property they felt is good
enough for their school houses. So
Colonel Lindsay forced Prout to re
cant "until after election." He has
reversed-his former decision and now
advises Superintendent Fowler that
mutual insurance is admirably adapt
ed to school house protection. He be
lieves in it so thoroughly now that the
republican committee is circulating
thousands of copies of his famous let
ter of " recantation. ' .
Farmer's Elevators
In a. number of the legislative dis
tricts the populist and democratic can
didates have pledged themselves to in
troduce arid support a measure similar
to the" Minnesota elevator law, and in
order that the . matter may be better
understood The Independent will next
week give a copy of the Minnesota law.
In a great many towns or rseorasKa
efforts have been made by local ele
vator-associations or companies to se
cure sites along the railroads for build-
ne elevators, but under the present
chaotic condition of railroad legisla
tion the elevator trust Is srapreme
and the roads absolutely refuse to per
mit a competition. It is time that the
people take" hold of this matter and
DO something: " '. .'
Not Duty Free. . i
When President Roosevelt said the
anthracite coal monopoly was not
sheltered by the tariff he overlooVed
one of the little jokers in the Dinglley
act .. - - : -
The coal schedule of that remarkable
statute imposes a duty of 67 cents- a
ton on all coal that contains less than
82 per cent of. fixed, carbon. Welsh
anthracite rarely has over 90 per cnt
of fixed carbon and therefore, under
a treasury decision of 1898, is subject
to a duty just as if It were bituminous
COal. ' :-, ' .; ' . . '
And when the president spoke of re
fined petroleum oil as duty free he
overlooked the facts that Russia is the
onlj' other country in the world pro
ducing that article for export, and that
under the Dingley tariff Russian oil
must pay the same duty at our ports
as American oil pays in Russian ports
which is 14 cents per gallon. ?
The anthracite coal , and Standard
Oil trusts do enjoy the shelter of the
tariff along wuu nearly all the other
monopolies. New York World.

Yields Readily to Proper Treatment

Jaw Cure V
The best remedy for the cure of
lumpy jaw in cattle is that discovered
by Dr. Mitchell. It removes the tumor
without leaving an unsightly scar.
Cattle undergoing treatment by it do
not fan away in flesh. :
It is easily applied without throw-,
ing the animal and one application is
sufficient unless in bad cases of long
standing.
And moreover it is the cheapest way

Hfggason's Dog Cholera Cure
Is best .used as a preventive of hog
cholera, but is very effective as a
cure for this most destructive disease,
We believe, every, farmer who raises
hogs . should have a. can of the
HJGGINSON . HOG CHOLERA CURE
on his premises, ready for use imm'e
diately when the disease first makes its
appearance in the herd. .
In addition to being a preventive
and cure for hog cholera, it is a sure
cure for CHRONIC COUGH, SORE
THROAT OR THUMPS WORMS, etc,
It is also a good conditioner and keeps
hogs healthy and thriving.. For ful
