BOOK 2. Chapter XV.
Of the three things Involved the
fixing the standard of money, coining
that money, and conferring the power
of tender the first is vastly most im
portant A standard of money, by the use of
which to express the appraised degree
of the intensity of the force of demand
for commodities and services benefic
ial to men, is a fundamental necessity
for the support and maintenance of
government through the exercise of
the taxing power, and is also a great
convenience in human affairs in ren
dering easy the exchange of the enor
mous mass of heterogeneous commodi
ties, constituting the products of in
dustry in modern times.
But the system of abdicating the
power to coin its money, adopted in all
civilized countries (), and of limit
ing the issue of coin to a fixed quan
tity of the commodity gold, does in
the next place work enormous injus
tice to all men, except the favored
owners of gold, by stamping upon
their metal a fixed price at which, by
fctatute, the governments provide a
market incapabla of ever being sup
plied. We are told glibly that the act of
coining gold is simply "certifying the
weight and fineness of the metal."
This patent falsehood is exposed at
once if you read the "superscription"
upon the coin. The legend upon an
American eagle, stamped upon 232
grains of gold, is: "United States of
America. Ten Dollars." Here is no
certificate of weight and fineness. On
the contrary, in plain words, "Ten
Dollars," the price thereof, is im
pressed into the metal, and a double-
acting statute compels every citizen of
the United States to use it alone to de
liver himself fron tax levies and judg
ments, and also compels the custodian
of all tax levies and judgments "in
the public offices and courts" to accept
it at that price.
While an inexhaustible market, at
a price arbitrarily fixed and stamped
upon the favorites' gold, is thus pro
vided by the government, the owners
of all the useful commodities, the
manufacturing, preserving and trans
portation appliances, and all the labor
of the race is left without any price
stamped upon it, and no one is com
pelled either to procure them or to
accept them. Thus abandoned to their
fate, all services and all commodities,
except gold alone, combat each other
in competition i. the mad struggle to
get gold at its statutory price to per
form an imperious statutory service,
universally necessary; and all prices,
except the statutory price of gold, are
beaten down in the battle. The power
to coin money is thus transformed into
the power to fix the price of one sin
gle commodity; and by conferring up
on that commodity the exclusive pow
er to satisfy tax levies and judgments,
at mat price, enables those favorites
to whom the "coin" is thus given, to
compel mankind to give up in sacrifice
to obtain It whatever of their service
and commodities the greed of the gold
trust may dictate. In order to defend
themselves from destruction thus
threatened by the gold trust, the great
manufacturing, mining, preserving
and transportation companies are ev
erywhere organizing co-operatfte un
ions or trusts, in the hope to put an
end to the competitive battle among
themselves for monetary possession of
the coins of the gold trust.
So ruinous had this combat become
that all their products and services
were scarcely able to procure the coin
required by these institutions to meet
their tax levies and judgments, or
claims hastening to become judgments,
leaving nothing for themselves.
Not knowing that it is the secret
hand of the gold trust which robs
them, they support its wicked and in
human domination and seek to make
reprisals by a combination of all par
ties engaged in the same department
of business or industry. But their ef
forts are vain.
Unless they can obtain the enact
ment of laws fixing and enforcing a
price upon their commodities and ser
vices, and giving them the power of a
receipt by "tender" against tax lev'es
and judgments "in the public offices
?nd courts," upon the same conditions
as the commodity in which the gold
trust deals, their efforts will be vain
The struggle of the great manufac
turing, transportation and other in
terests to make reprisals for the rob
beries of the gold trust, are fast driv
ing mankind into a "Trust of the Hu
man Race." Already the vast armies
cf labor, either organized, or as ma
rauders, are engaged in a continuous
succession of skirmishes and combats
with the great combinations of capi
talists, by whom they are employed.
The controllers of the capital, ignor
ant of the secret source of their own
discomfiture, seek to realize profits by
depriving employes of a fair return for
their service. The owners of that
capital, perceiving thg incalculable
saving of human energy in the produc
tion and distribution of commodities
eLdowed with power to perform ben
eficial human service, through produc
tion and distribution by labor-saving
machinery and on a vast scale, dream
ed of fabulous profits for themselves
and a fair wage for employes. They
were blind to the existence of the
stealthy hand of the gold trust hdden
behind superstitions and statutes in
herited from ignorant.- savages, by
which the profits the industrial capi
talists hoped for were silently trans
ferred, by this legal legerdemain, to
the gold trust, which has become the
bond-holding trust of the civilized
world.
It is vain that they thus seek relief.
The human race must exist; and the
margin of wages, which the exactions
of the gold trust will permit to be paid
employes of capitalists engaged in
manufacturing and transportation, is
h" sufficient to support human life in a
ktate of civilization, and must inevit
ably compel a return to savagery or
the overthrow of the present order
and the system of individual owner
ship. Strange, indeed, does it seem that
capitalists engaged in the great indus
trial enterprises of modern times do
not see this and join forces with the
human race for the destruction of the
gold trust by. the repeal of the bar
barian statutes which foster it, and
by establishing a system of taxation
under which a 1 commodities should
bear an equal burden, and under which
each commodity taxable shall be able
to pay that tax levy, and any judg
ment, at the price at which it is tax
able. But the tragedy of errors, following
invincibly upon the fundamental wick
edness of "free coinage" of money, as
a gift to gold owners, making their
private gold thus impressed the sole
means of deliverance to the human
race from the universal burden of tax
levies and judgments, is not yet com
p'etely described. There is another
consequence flowing from that perpet
ual fountain of human misery which
must next be set forth.
Bear in mind that nearly every na
tion that is a factor in human af
fairs, does, by its laws, refuse to is
sue the receipts in universal and im
perious demand, which alone can bring
to mankind deliverance from pauper
ism and imprisonment, by satisfying
lax levies and judgments, except as a
gift to private owners of gold: and
that by giving exclusive statutory
power to a fixed quantity of that gold
by weight to perform the func
tion of an arbitrary receipt by "ten
der," as conclusive proof of previous
payment of a fixed quantity of value
expressed in tax levies and judgments
those nations gave thus, by statutes
procured for that purpose (), con
centrated upon gold alone the entire
overpowering intensity of the force
cf demand, generated by the struggles
of the whole human race, to procure
goia as the sole thing able to save
them from destruction at the hands
of the sheriffs and tax-collectors of
the world.
By refusing to stamp those indis
pensable receipts upon anything ex
cept a fixed weight of private gold, the
force of demand generated by the
struggles of the whole human race for
those receipts, is thus transformed In
to a fierce demand for the gold trust's
gold. The force of demand caused by
a tax levy or judgment for a receipt,
issued by the government for "Ten
Dollars," Is thus transformed Into a
force of demand for 232 grains of
some other man's gold, because the
statutes of nearly every nation,
stealthily procured for that purpose,
have made those urgently needed re
ceipts, and the gold on which alone
they are stamped, inseparble. The
thing actually in demand is a 're
ceipt against a tax levy or judg
ment for "Ten Dollars:" but this can
not be separated from 232 grains of
gold, and the imperious demand for
the "receipt" becomes a like Imperious
demand for the gold upon which alone
It is Inscribed.

Hurt So Badly Wao

Dr. Miles' Nervine Per
manently Cured Me.
"A year ago I suffered from extreme nerv
ous stomach trouble. I was airaid of every
thing, could not bear to hear singing or music
and reading or hearing of a death nearly
brought on my own. I could not sleep or
hardly lie down, the back of my head tort
me so badly I nearly went crazy. My shoul
ders hurt and the least tiling I did would
bring on an attack of extreme nervousness.
There were times when I would have a lump
in my throat and my mouth would be so dry
I could hardly speak. I was in despair until
I began to take Dr. Miles' Restorative Nerv
ine. I have taken in all twelve bottles and
consider myself permanently cured. My
home doctor has since remarked on my
healthy appearance and said he wished h
could say his medicine helped me. Ht
knows it was Dr. Miles' Nervine. Wt art
never without the Anti-Pain Pills and con
sider your medicines household remedies. I
cannot say enough for the Nervine, because
in addition to my own case my daughter,
who was out of school for a long time be
cause of St Vitus' dance, was completely
cured by eight bottles. She is now feeling
fine and going to school every day. We
thank you tor your kindness and will never
stop singing the praises of Dr. Miles' Restor
ative Nervine." Mrs. C. E. Ring, Lima, Q
