Money and the Taxing Power
BY W. II. ASIIBY.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Assuming now that the foregoing
demonstrates that the symbol and
numerals, which constitute our "mon
ey" (and" not "coin"), Is the thing
which "facilitates exchanges," by ex
pressing "price," and that its use for
that purpose is not authoritative or
mandatory but merely voluntary, it
would seem to follow that all the
functions, the performance of which
r mmmonlv ascribed by the "au
thorities" to "coin" (In '"facilitating
exchanges" and as a "medium of ex
change"), are in fact performed by
the symbol and numerals which con
stitute "money."
Notwithstanding its convenience,
and its power to render easy the ex
change of commodities for each oth
er, it must not be forgotten that it is
not a necessity in that process, but
merely makes the process easier.
Moreover, it should be firmly fixed in
the mind that this device was not in
stituted for the purpose of facilitating
exchanges, but was created by human
governments to serve as part of the
mechanism necessary to the equitable
exercise of the taxing power. It
should be thoroughly understood that
nowhere else, except in the- public
offices in the levying of taxes is this
device a necessity, and that no
where, except in those offices in the
making of tax levies and In the courts'
in the rendition 'of judgments, is its
use compulsory.
Every other employment of the
symbol which is "money" is a mere
voluntary adaptation of it Its crea
tion was not the result of any neces
sity growing out of difficulties of ex
changing commodities for each other,
but arose out of the insuperable diffi
culties surrounding the equitable ex
ercise of the taxing power. It is not
primarily the machinery for aiding
exchanges, but is the necessary ma
chinery ' for exercising the taxing
power. Investigations into the mech
anism of exchange would never dis
close the nature or the function of the
device which is : "money," as distin
guished from "coin." Whenever one
wishes to understand its nature and
functions, his search must be made
through the intricacies of taxation,
out of which it sprung.
(End of Book One.)
(Note: This ends Captain Ashby's
investigations as to the device called
"money." Book Two will treat of the
subject of "coin." Publication of
Book Two will not commence until
next week; but space will be allotted
the captain for reply to the charge of
plagiarism made against him by Mr.
Theobald.
' - Anent this charge, the associate edi
tor has reason to believe that Captain
Ashby never saw Del Mar's "Science
of Money;" , yet it would not be
strange if there should be points of
agreement in certain of their con
clusions. Mr. Del Mar's argument is
based upon the analogy between val
ue and space; Captain Ashby's, upon
the analogy between value and what
is commonly known as the natural
forces or Force. Mr. Del Mar "meas
ures" value; Captain Asnby esti
mates" or "appraises" the quantity or
intensity of the force of demand in
action. Mr. Del Mar denies that we
can inquire into the origin or source
of value, any more than we can in
quire into the origin or source of ex
tension in space, affirming that we
measure space by choosing a quantity
of space for the standard, without
knowing what caused space to be or
how much there is of it. Captain
Ashby does not Inquire- into the
primal cause or origin of the force of
demand any more than he would in
quire into -the origin of gravity; he
simply recognizes it as a subtle force
for which no physical appliance has
yet been invented capable of "meas
uring." ; Nevertheless is it quite pos
sible to adopt a device or name for
a given quantity of the force of de
mand, and by use of the numerals to
express or utter the amount of that
quantity. No man knows absolutely"
what that quantity is, any more than
he can tell how long an hour is, how
heavy, a pound is, how much an ohm
is, etc. -
. There is one point, however, upon
which the associate editor would add
to what Captain Ashby has brought
out so far. Although no man can say
absolutely the quantity of the force, of
gravity which we call a pound, or can
tell what fractional part of the total
force of-gravity a'' pound actually is,
yet we. do know that what we call an
avoirdupois pound is the pull of the
force of gravity upon 27.7015 cubic
inches of distilled water at the temperature-of
62 degrees Fahrenheit, the
barometer being at 30 inches.
Now, although no man can say ab
solutely the quantity of the force of
demand which we call a dollar, or can
tell what fractional part of the total
fore of demand a dollar actually is,
yet it would seem that the term "dol
lar" represents that quantity or - in
tensity of the force of demand in ac
tion upon the number of grains of sil
ver prescribed by the first coinage act
to be contained in the "dollar" or
"unit" which was to be coined.
It was necessary in adopting a . unit
of weight to note the intensity of the
force of gravity upon a specific sub
stance "under certain conditions. Then
any other substance upon which the
force of gravity acted with, equal in
tensity would be equal in weight with
the unit adopted. It must have been
nocessary to note the intensity of the
force of demand for a given commod
ity at the time the unit was adopted
and that commodity was silver of a
certain weight and fineness.
There is still lacking, however, in
the analogy the matter of a physical
appliance. In the case of weight, by
placing the given quantity of water in
a receptacle on one end of the bal
ance, a piece of brass or other dur
able substance could be found, which,
when placed on the other end, would
show that the same quantity of grav
ity acted upon it as acted upon the
water. Value scales or balances, value
j tape-lines, are still lacking. Granting
I that ' the silver coin is typical of the
J brass pound-weight, the human mind
' must still act as the balance. Asso

GOVERNMENT BANKING,
Editor Independent: Please give me
space in your valuable paper to ex
press my viewfa on the money question,
and the wrongs done the people by the
present tanks and moneyed men.
This is the father, of all trusts. By
this trust more homes and property
arc taken from the American people,
than by any other one thing, and it
could be nearly all abated by the gov
ernment issuing the money direct to
the people.
The objection to this is that the
government cannot run banks.
' Now, I think my plan would not to
nnv more trouble to the general gov-
i ernment than it is to run a country
; or ritv rjostoffice
states, counties, townsnips, ciues
and boroughs all have a separate gov
ernment, separate laws ana own sep
arate property, ana eacn 01 mese
crirmid own and control the banks
and elect the officers as they do- otner

TbA nffioer of the banks should be

now. The government wouia issue

Life
Renewed. Left Side
Badly Affected.
Liable to Paralytic
Stroke.
Dr. Miles' Nervine Gave
Me New Life.
This is to certify that I have used Dr.
Miles' Remedies quite extensively, especially
the Restorative Nervine, which has done
wonders for me. Six years ago I had nerv
ous prostration and ajjam three years ago, at
which time I began taking Dr. Miles' Restor
ative Nervine. I kept taking it for six
months and have taken an occasional dose
during the last two years. I am practically
a new man and feel that I have been given a
new lease of life. I used to have very bad
attacks of stomach trouble but since using
the Nervine I can' eatjpost anything I wan:
with impunity. I wis examined in Omaha
by a noted German doctor three years ago.
He told me I was liable to a paralytic stroke
any moment; that my whole left side was
badly affected. That was just before I began
taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine.
My work for two years and a half has been
very trying on my nerves. I am a presiding
elder, traveling my districts at the rate of
ten thousand miles a year, preaching on an
average of five times a week, besides many
business meetings, and the multitudinous
cares of my work in general. Thanks to Dr.
Miles' Restorative Nervine I have been gain
ing in flesh despite this hard work until now
I weigh"' a hundred and ninety-six pounds,
nearly twenty pounds more than in all my
life. I preach Nervine wherever I go to
those afflicted with nerve, heart or stomach
trouble." Rev. M. D. Myers, Presiding Elder,
