Wizard Eilis-on luis a solution for the
financial problem. He says: "What we
need is a new standard of value. I think
that the liest dollar could lie made out of
compressed wheat. You take a bushel
of wheat anil squeeze th "water out of
it, and then compress it into a hard cake
the size of a silver dollar and stamp tha
Oovernmeiit mark njK.ii it. That would
represent the actual value and labor jier
formed; and then you could eat your
dollar, for when you wanted to use the
wheat all that would lie necessary would
lie. to put your money to soak. Wo
should then have a bushel of wheat, ns a
permanent unit of value, which all the
farmers would appreciate, .and the cur
rency of the country would represent
actual worth and lalxir performed. Both
gold and silver could then lie dispensed
with, and the bimetallic problem solved.
Our currency, moreover, would be as
good as gold -or silver iu foreijpi ex
change, for our wheat goes to all conn
tries of the world. Ju all this talk about
metal for coinage 1 am surprised that
no one has Mi.itgested the using of iron,
which is the most precious metal. Man
kind has no use S ir either gold or silver,
hut iron could nut lie dispensed with. "

Thoughts on Money
Ignorance has caused a mystery
to hang oyer money which has
caused untold wiffenng and pre
vented man from stepping upon a
higher plane of civilization and
happiness.
If A exchanges a bushel of wheat
for two bushels of B's oats, there is
no one so foolish as to say that A
should redeem or purchase back
the wheat, or that B should buy
back the oats. We will now sup
pose that A needs the oats and that
1J dtjps not now need the wheat but
will need it in the near future. A
takes the oats from B and is in the
' ,
home when
act of taking it to his
B calls the attention of A to the
fact that lie has no proof of the fact
that he has parted with his oats
without exchange. A gives B a
token of the fact that B has not re
ceived the wheat or the x'alue of his
oats. We look at the token and
find that it is a statement or a sym
bol of the value of two bushels of
oats a one dollar note. or token.
The exchange has not at all been
made but B has a token, or a note
if you please, of the fact that he
has parted with the oats without
receiving the wheat in exchange.
By and by A's wheat is ready for
market and B's stomach is ready
for the wheat. A delivers the wheat
to B and B returns the token or
note to A. At first thought we are
liable to say that here is a plain
case of redemption. Doc-s A re
deem the token or note? He does
not. Why? It is true" that A gets
the note back again but he pays B
nothing for it. A pays B for Jiis
oats in full and no more and B re
turns the note to A without receiv
ing a cent or having a thought of A
owing anything for the note, and it
is foolish to think that A should
pay for the note after having paid
B in full for his oats. There is no
repurchasing here. If A's wheat
j with which he is to pay for the oats
receivM irom u snouki De destroyed
before it is received by B, then it is
evident that A must redeem or re
purchase or 'buy again in order to
pay B Sot the oats. If A should
tail to pay the wheat to B for the
oats, B would lose the value of the
oats unless someone else should pay
in A's stead. The value of B's oats
'9 not la the note, it nly represents
I the value a token of the fact "that
j B has parted with oats for which he
: has received nothing. The wheat
and oats almve mentioned are the
' products of labor, and the token or
note is the represented estimated
value of the lalr urofits products.
Many people and nations have been,
and are, shortsighted enxmgh tc be
lieve that the representation of es
timated values must be redeemed.
1 "'mttor oi me vaiues ot tlie pro-
durts uf labor, if the' material cf
which the money is made is worth
as much as the estimation of val
ues imprinted upon it, then it is
known that the real value is in the
material and the money or staup
upon the material represents, or no
tifies the holder, of the value of the
material and not of the value of the
monev. The value of monev or the
. JUV , y ""present ratio, and issue paper money
it costs to make the money regard- J? ,.,. ..,t.- k il, j .-.t.
ie?s oi me vaiue ot uie material on
which it is placed. Money, or a
medium of exchange should always
measure more values than . the
worth of the material in the money.
Patter is the cheapest and best ma
terial of which to make money.
The whole people the government
should make all of the money and
issue it directs to themselves, or
itself. If our government, or our
people, should make all the money
jt needs of paper, whose money
would it be? If we use our owu
money which we have created, is
there any good reason why we
should at some time in the future
huv or redeem our own money? It
would be very foolish and unbusi
nesslike for us to measure our flour
I in sacks that cost as much
as the
Hour they contain, and is it not
just as foolish for us to stamp the
measuring Units of value on com
modities that are worth as much as
the measuring value of the stamp?
Twcntv-three and two tenth grains
of gold without the dollar stamp of
the government can be exchanged
for 5U pounds of flour which has no
dollar upon it. Anyone can see at
once that 23.2 grains of golij or 50
poifnds of flour need not be made a
dollar in order to exchange the one
for the other. The products -of cal
ico and silk cloth do not
need
inches and yards stamped on them
m order that one ca.i justly be ex
changed for .the other. All that is
needed is a cheap, dura'ble and han
dy yard stick and a cheap, durable
aud handy money-medium of ex
change or notes to represent the
vajne of your calico mail you get
its value iu silk. It costs too much
to make yard sticks or weights of
gold or silver and the world is too
smart to waste its energies iu that
way. V.Vhy, then, should ve note
the value of exchange on the oostly
bits of gold and silver wheu paper
is much cheaper and more conven
ient? It is said that '"cheap" money
like this would be all right as a
medium of exchange in our own
nation but it would aot do as a me
dium of exchange v ith other na
tions. Let us look into this with
an honest purpose to got the truth.
In the first place our money, ;iio
matter on what material it is made,
ceases to be money as soon as it is
out of our territory : and so it is
with the money of all other nations
of earth. As soon as the money of
a nation ie urns to the nation
that created it, it becomes money
as it was before it went abroad. A
dollar's worth of gold or silver of
which our government makes a dol
lar'does pot sell for a dollar in Eng
land or other nations because of its
money value, but because the gold
or silver without oar stamp upon it
is worth a dollar. Oar gold and
silver sells in the market .f the
world for just as much without our"
tmoney stamp as it does with it.
u,- ., , j -i .
f w use our gum uuu diivci ujuuiry
as money, but other nation? regard
it as merchandise and trade fir it
as they do for wheat, wool, iron and
other products. A legal tender
money is made so by law and no
nation can make a legal money for
other nations. The United States
could make an unredeemable legal
money on paper receivable in the
exchange of all products and for all
debts within the bounds of its own
territory. This money would be
as good as the nation itself and
therefore need no redemption. That
which is good needs no redemption.
It is good because we can lawfully
tender it for all debts to any one
within the United States. Yes. this
is good money at home, but how
could we go abroad?. Oh my, here
is that stumper again! If you have
enough of the above good money,
just buy a R R. ticket to New York
and there you will find John Smith
who will give you English bank
notes for Uncle Sams notes. How
does John Smith come in posses
sion of English money? An Eng
lishman came over yesterday ta see
his American cousins and as he
needed money to spend abroad,
he left his English money with
John Smith and took the money of
the United States, so you see John
is waiting patiently to trade you
English paper for United States
paper. Of course you hare to giv
John a little "boot" with which John
purchases a living. "Well, well !!
I do believe it could be done in
thts way!" So do I, for it is no
new thing I assure you. If we es
timate our gold and silver money
at twelve hundred millions of dol
lars we see at once that our medi
um of exchange cost us twelve hun
dred million hard days work at a
dollar a day. Twelve hundred mil-
I lions of dollars made of paper would
cost at i cent for each dollar, 6,
000.000 or 6,000,000 days of work
at a dollar a dav. Here is a differ
ence of 1,194,000,000 days of work
which would have been saved by
the United States if it had adop
ted paper money. This would pay
the national debt and have more
than enough left to send the Chi
nese to their celestial home.
If we desire to reach a higher
state of civilization, let us create a
pjper money in volume sufficient
to fully serve us in all exchange,
stop collecting usury from each
other, let the people who are the
government do their own banking
and transporting, each one living
only on the fruits of his own labor,
and without license to injure or
prey upon rach other. Since we
have labored so hard for goil and
silver money it would not be wise
to destroy it, but to perpetuate the
unlimited coinace of both at the
money) to be used equally under
law as a medium of exchange to
gether with gold and silver money.
With this kind of money, tho abo
lition of the present robbing bank
ing scheme and monopolies, and
the establishment of banking by
the people and for the people with
out special privileges to any mem
ber of the government," we would be
able to lift the American people and
perhaps the world out of the bar
barous superstition that has caused
us to believe that gold has intrin
sically within it the value of the
whole wealth of the world. We
would not stop the use of gold or
silver as money, tut we would
teach the jieople that they can trade
products without giving half their
value to those who produce nothing,
aud that money is not value, hut a
lawful instrument to facilitate the
exchange of products. The yalue
is injthe products exchsnged and
not in the money which is ihe fruit
of law.
