It should interest every farmer in Nebraska
to know that he can sell -out his high-priced
lands and move to the fertile valleys of East
em Assiniboia and buy land at frc'm JS.oo to
tij oo per acre,.rith an expenditure of very
title cash, 'It .must certainly be of interest
also to know that thetaxeson improved farms
in this tpmous district are from $2:50 to $5.00
on the quarter section. Hundreds have come
into this d'strict from Minnesota, Iowa and
Nebraska at my instigation and have found
a district just as fertile, and the winters just
as pleasant, as in the Western States, and
prosperity more generally prevailing, Toor
men who came to this district two years ago
and purchased land at $3.oo per acre are now
prosperous and contented. In 1901; Areola
shipped 506,000 bushels of wheat, being an
average of 29 bushels per acre, and in the
season just parsed 900 000 bushels of wheat
being an average of rj bushels per acre, be
sides 200,000 bushels of flax. Write to your
friends in this district, or send to mc for my
map and pamphlet showing the lai ds I still
have for sale at the above prices. You cannot
help but be impressed by the prospects. It
is worth figuring out.

CHAPTER XV.
The authorities have taught, and
the world believes, that when any
commodity is quoted in a market
Teport as being of the "price" of
"flO," its "price" is an "eagle;"
whereas its price is not a commodity
called a "coin" and named an "eagle,"
but is ten "units of value" in the ab
stract, symbolized by the term
adopted to stand for that unit; and
the numerals "10" show the unit pre
sent that number of times.
The price of that commodity is not
an eagle of any other physical object;
but the price of both the eagle and
the commodity is the formula "ten
dollars." 1 The price of the supposed
commodity is the mode of expressing
the result of the estimation of the In
tensity of the force of demand for that
commodity on the market; while the
price of the eagle is fixed by statute
and stamped upon its face, where it
stands expressed also , by the legal
symbol, ''ten dollars."
, It is the symbol and the numerals,
constituting the money" of this
country, which expresses the valua
tion of things and not a coin which
does this; and that valuation, whether
made by the mental estimate of men
upon the market, or fixed by statute
and stamped upon the face of a coin,
is always "price."
Because a commodity is "valued" at
"ten dollars," it will exchange for a
coin of that price; but it will as free
ly exchange for any other" thing of
that price. "Coin" is not the "price"
of anything, any more than is any
other commodity. But as every coin
has its price stamped upon it, any
commodity valued , at the same price
as that coin, is its exchange equiva
lent But it is not the coin which is
the price of the commodity. Price of
both the coin and the other commod
ity are expressed by the symbol and
numerals. : ! 1
This erroneous doctrine that coin
by some magical power, "facilitates
exchanges," has been taught so long
and Is so fixed in the minds of men
that it is difficult to eradicate it This
must be the excuse for dwelling here
so long. The following illustration it
is hoped will be so convincing that no
one who studies it will ever again be
deluded into the false notion that
coin "facilitates exchanges" or can
play any peculiar part in exchanges,
except as a commodity in exchange
itself, subject to the same difficulties
"of exchange as any other commodity,
save only .that 'it carries its "price"
stamped upon its face, is divided into
a number of convenient pieces, and is
in most urgent and universal demand
for a statutory use.
Take this market report and analyze
it:
Wheat $0,66 2-3
Corn 0.131-3
Such a market report would mean
nothing to a savage or to a foreigner
unacquainted with our system of mon
ey. But to a grain dealer it means
many things not fully expressed. It
assumes that whoever reads it knows
that quantity of wheat and corn is
expressed in this country by the word
"bushel;" that it is to this quantity of
wheat and corn the report refers, al
though it does not appear on the face
of the report. The quantity of wheat
and corn is not expressed, but is un
derstood. The quantity or degree of
intensity of the force of demand for
one bushel of wheat is estimated, or
appraised, or "valued," to be of that
degree of intensity or quantity which
is expressed by our symbol as
i'.66 2-3. It might be expressed in
other ways as ,
$2 . 2 Dollars
3 3
But our decimal system permits it
to be expressed as $0.66 2-3. We read
this a3 sixty-six ana two-thirds cents,
or as sixty-six and two-thirds hun
dredths of a dollar, or as no dollars,
six dimes, and six and two-thirds
cents.
This being our mode of expression
of the degree of intensity or quantity
of demand, is the quantity of value of
tnat quantity of wheat, and therefore
is the "price" of that quantity of
wheat, for "prie" is the expression
in the "money term," of human "val
uation" or appraisal of quantity of de
mand, which is quantity of value.
,The same remarks apply In all re
spects to the corn in the above quo
tation, except the difference in the
numerals used.
Now, the object in view among men,
and which stands in need of "facili
tation," is to exchange these two
commodities for each other, and not
necessarily to exchange one of them
for a coin and then exchange the coin
for the other.
An inspection of the above market
report shows that the quantity 'of val
ue of one bushel of : wheat, as ex
pressed by the symbol and numerals
constituting money, is $0.66 2-3, which
expression is the "price? of one bushel
of wheat; and that the quantity . of
value of one bushel of corn, as ex
pressed in money, is $0,131-3, which
expression Is the "price" of one bushel
of corn. There are no such coins.
and therefore their price is not a
coin, but an expression. - '
Now, does this facilitate or make
easy the exchange of wheat and corn
for each other? Manifestly It does.
The unit of quantity of both wheat
and corn is the bushel, so that the
quantity of each commodity may be
obtained by weight or measurement.
The quantity of the force of demand
for one bushel of wheat (the ap
praisal or "valuation" of which is its
quantity of value) is expressed by the
same "price" as is the quantity of
value of five bushels of corn. The
quantity of value of five bushels of
corn is, therefore, equal to the quan
tity of value of one bushel of wheat,
because their "price" is identical. One
bushel of wheat, therefore, is the
"exchange equivalent" of five bushels
of corn.
Upon the basis of one bushel of
wheat for five bushels of corn, any
desired quantity of the one commod
ity may be exchanged for the other,
without any necessity whatever for
coin. Thus it is made clear that the
device called "money," . in the entire
absence of "coin," does facilitate or
render easy the exchange of commod
ities for each other. Coin, it is thus
seen, is not a necessity in exchanging
commodities for each other.
Not only is this irue but coin can
not enter in any way into the ex
change of one commodity for another
commodity; upon thef above condi
tions of . a bushel of wheat for the
five bushels of corn. There is no
coin nor any combinations of coins
among us that can be exchanged for
the five bushels of corn or the one
bushel of wheat
The crude thought, suggested by the
"Authorities," is that coin "facilitates
exchanges" of wheat for corn, by be
ing itself first' received in exchange
for wheat and then in turn exchanged
for corn. But in the case supposed
coin cannot be given in exchange for
either five bushels of corn or one
bushel of wheat, for the reason that
no coin of the proper "price" exists.
Coin, therefore, in this case is power
less to facilitate the exchange, while
we have seen that the money symbol
without any coin can do so. And if in
one instance this i;i true, it destroys
the false theory that coin facilitates
exchanges. ' '
It is . granted that a coin could ba
manufactured that would fit the sup
posed case; but a countless multitude
of other cases must arise and do arise
every day, where the proper change
cannot be had and it is not possible
to fabricate coin able to meet every
contingency. Moreover, we see that
the device of "a money," without
"coin," does of itself and in every
case facilitate exchanges; while in the
case supposed, coin utterly fails to
take part.
On the other hand, no case "can
possibly arise in which the symbol
and numerals, which constitute our
"money," would not overcome the dif
ficulty and render the exchange easy.
As tha avowed purpose is to facili
tate the exchange of commodities for
each other and not to exchange com
modities for coin it is perfectly per
tinent to ask why it is thought desir
able to introduce the third commod
ity, coin, into the transaction, when
the money symbol and numerals do
alone "facilitate exchanges" without
any coin; and when coin is seen to
be powerless to render any service- in
the case, or to take any part in it

the fall of 1896. I saw an advertisement in
the Sioux City paper in which a man stated
his symptoms which seemed to me to indicate
a trouble similar to mine. I had a soreness '
in the chest at times, and in ray shoulder, an
oppressive choking sensation in my throat
and suffered from weak and hungry spells.
I was truly frightened at my condition and
procured six bottles of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure.
Since taking my first bottle I have never
