THE : STANDARD.

MONEY.
NO. 9.
Having Been how pains-taking the
founders of the gOTernment were to
tind the true value of the unit which
hoald, as they thought, represent
the basis of the monetary system, it
should ajsp be observed that they
had no concern about the ratios of
the values of the different units.
They did not, like so many others
have done, begin at the wrong. ena
of the work. They were concerned
about the yalneof the unit, knowing
well that, values having been found
the ratio would necessaaily follow
They did not pass resolutions de
claring in favor of 15 to 1, and
then set about the work of fixing the
relative values of money on that
basis.
Ratio like number was not created
in the ordinary sense of creating
things. When but one thing was
created, there was but one thing in
existence, but when another thing
was created, then there were two
ttingB. Just so with value ratio,
When one value was found, there
was only one known value, but when
another value was found, there were
two known values, and a comparison
of them necessarily gave the ratio.
Things already in existence can be
compared, and ratios between them
may be fonnd, but non-existing val
ues cannot be compared, and conae
quently there can be no ratio show
ing the relative value of either to the
other.
The founders of the government
set us an example worthy of imita
tion in the matter of ascertaining
what nnit should be adopted as the
basis of our monetary system. The
time, the labor they spent in finding
the nfoUithe sincerity they manifest
ed in the interest of fair dealing,
being specially concerned that no
man should suffer wrong, ought to
be remembered by us, wheH we at
tempt the Bolu'ion of the difficult
problem which was placed before
them. They sought for values in
order to find the unit, we will do
well if we too think lees of resolu
tions and preconceived notions, and
set about, like our forefathers did,
Beeking wbat value will be the best,
doing justice to all and injury to
none.
The founders of the government
did not attempt to find a unit that
would last for all time. The nnit
they adopted in 1792 was adopted
for that time, and not for a century
afterwards. They cenld no more
say what the unit for 1895 should
be, than we can say what the unit
for 1995 shall be. Value is a men
tal affection, and from la nature ne
cessitates a communication of minds,
recipiocation of desire-, all of
of which must be contemporary.
The yalues of 1792 are not existing
in 1895. They belong to the time
is which they existed, and cannot be
compared. So far as they apply to
the year 1895 they are non-exiBtent
and as was said above, non existent
things or values cannot be com
pared. From its nature it ought to be
eyident that there can be no sucb
thing as an invariable standard of
value. We may have an invariable
standard of measure, as a yard, but
cannot have an invariable standard
of value. The yard is a measure of
fixed length, which does not vary
from one age or century to another.
If Adam had left an accurate state
ment as to the dimensions of the
garden of Eden, telling how many
yards long and how many yards
wide it was, we would have as defin
ite an idea of the length and wid h
of the garden as we have of the
width of a street when it iB said to
be fifty yards wide. Yard is a fixed
and definite length, and no matter
in wbat country or in what age a
measuse has been made, if we have
been told what the dimensions were
in yards, we get clear notion of the
magnitude of the object that was
measured. Yard, then, is a stand,
ard of measure, fixed and invariable.
Not so with yoJoe. It hat been
changed from century to century,
and of ten times from decade to de
cade. There is no such thing as in
variable value as there is-of invariable
yard or of invariable pound, or of
invariable bushel. For this reason
the word measure instead of stand
ard has been adopted, where the
clearest meaning is intended. There
may be such a thing as short meaa
' ore oi long measure, light weight or
heavy weight, but there can be no
inch thing as a changeable standard.
Standard is fixed measure, and
such a thing as a changeable fixed
measure woald be meaningless. Let
ns, however, as is commonly done,
use standard of yalue instead of
measure of value, and ask ourselves
the question, can there be more than
one standard of yalue ? A thing is
worth what it will fetch.
If there be to standards can a
thing be worth wbat it will fetch in
each standard, all at the same time ?
Suppose that measured by one stand
ard a hat is worth two dollars, and
by another standard it is worth
three dollars. Can it fetch both
two dollars and three dollare at the
same time ? If one man offers the
two dollars, and another man offers
the thrre dollars can both nun par.
chase the hat at the same .time ?
There is only one hat, can two sales
be made of it at the same time ? Can
one be equal to two ?
There can be but one standard
yard, but one standard pound, but
one standard bustel. All lengths
are measured by the same yard, all
weights by the same pound, all ca
pacities by the same bushel, and
this mav be true for all time. But
how is it with the standard by which
the value of monej is measured ? At
one tune in the early history of the
State, Massachusetts had a law that
taxes Bhould be vaid in cattle. Now
in the case of cattle it is well known
that there are several standards, be
tween the extremes of best and sor
riest When tax-paying day came
the people did not drive in their best
cattle, but the State soon found it
self the owner of all the scrubbiest
attle within its boundary. Each
tax payer, instead of taking his best
cow, drove in tne scrnooiesi one on
the farm to rav hiB tax. The real
standard in that case was the sorub,
Just so in the case of money. If
there be more than one standard,
and they be of equal value, judg
ment will be made in either without
preference for the one or the other.
But if the one standard is higher or
more valuable than the other, then
all debts, all taxes, all payments will
be made in the cheapest Btandard.
If there be cheap money and dear
money all debts, taxes and payments
will be made in cheap money. The
dear money will go out of circula
tion to become a commodity to be
bonght and sold in terms of the
oheap money. There will in that
case be but one standard.
It is tor this reason that every at
tempt to apply the double standard
has been a failure, where two
standards have been tried, it rarely
has ever happened that they had the
same yalue during any considerable
length of time. Sometimes the one
standard prevailed, and at other
times the other standard prevailed,
the business of the country being
conducted on the basis of the lowest
standard.
When oar country adopted the
standard of value, the standard was
such as made the ratio of the value
of gold to the value of silver 15 to
Bat at that time France had
made the ratio 15 i to 1. The result
was that no one would give a pound
of gold for fifteen pouuds of eilyer
in this country, when he could take
it to France and get fifteen and one
half pounds for it Ten thousand
dollars worth of gold would buy ten
thousand dollars worth of silver in
this country, or would purchase
$10,333 in France, making a dif
ference of 3 J per cent The result
was that the business of this coun
try was done on a silver basis, and
the ratio 15 to 1 proved a failure.
In 1834 the ratio was changed to
16 to 1 by making the gold dollar
lighter. Since that time, although
the countrj has been on a gold basis,
it was found that the ratio 16 to 1
was a failure. For that reason the
Congress of the United States made
the single gold standard to prevail
in this country.
The advantage in favor of the
singio Btandard is tnat an element oi
doubt and nncertainty is eliminated
from trading and commercial trans
actions. All values are measured
by the same standard. AH contracts
are made and fulfilled in accordance
with the same standard. Invest
ments can be made with less fear
and greater confidence in the future
when there is but one standard.
When there is but one standard
peculators and sharpers cannot take
advantage of the difference in yalne
of the standards to reap big rewards
at the expense of the public The'
one standard cannot be used to fos
ter the interest of money dealers.
The one Btandard should be male
as invariable as possible. Gold so
far seems to have offered the best
material for the standard of value.
The most enlightened and progress
sive nations have adopted what is
known as the gold standard. The
adoption of the gold standard seems
to have been one of those steps which
have always indicated that the world
is advancing instead of retreating in
the march pf civilization.
The countries with the great Boats
of learning, the great universities
extensive labaratories and factories,
vast libraries.great lines of railroad?,
telegraphs, have without agreement
beforeband come to the conclusion
that the gold standard is the best
adapted to the wants of commerce
and trade which haye adyanced with
equal stej s with the other improve
ments of the age. It would be use
leas, it is believed, to attempt to
force them to take a step backwards
and adopt a standard which was in
every way suited to the commercial
wants of the eighteenth century, but
his been found deficient when ap
plied to the improvements of the
nineteenth century, or, it may be
said now, the twentieth century,
Just as well ask those enlightened
countries to lay aside the railroads,
electric cars and adopt the old stage
coach as a means of travel. J ust as
well ask them to abandon electric
lights and kerosene lamps and go
back to old tallow candles with their
snuffers and the grease running
down the sides. Those countries
are not going to do either. The im
proyemsnts that have been made will
be kept as a basis upon whioh to
found other improvements, and
make other advancements on the
road to a still higher civilization
Let the mistake not be made
that there is any necessary connec
tion between the standard of value
and the material of which money is
coined. The standard of value
should be used for comparison, and
all monev should be made to con
form to that standard, just as all
yardsticks are made to conform in
length to the standard yard, and all
weights made to conform in pounds
or fractions of a pound to the stand
ard pound. If gold is the standard
then all money should be carried on
that basis, and the value of all coins
would be found by comparing them
with the standard. In that way the
true value of such kind of money
would be known, and the business
could ba traasacted on a well known
basis, and not be carried on in doubt
and uncertainly.
To have a single standard does
not mean that the country ought to
have but one kind of money mate
rial. Silver money can be used to
the same extent ana with the same
power as legal tender with the gold
standard as it could if the Btandard
were silver. The standard does not
necessarily have anything to do with
the material of money, no more so
than the standard yard, deposited ia
the archives of the government, has
to do with the material of which
yardsticks are made. What honesty,
justice and fairness require 16 that
every dollar shall conform iu value
to the standard ; that every dollar
shall be the equal in value of eyery
other dollar; that when the word
dollar is used in all Kinds of busi
ness, all the parties concerned may
know just what is meant; that un.
der the cover of names of dollars no
man shall be made to believe that he
is receiving something that be is not
receiving. It does not suit many
men to keep up with the tricks of
trade and the causes of the varia
tions to which the prices of labor or
products of labor are subject. It is
therefore of special importance that
the standard of value should be
some well defined material, the value
of which is subject to change.

SOLD "EXCELSIOR TONIC
Two CHarlotte Men Arretted By
Tillman Countable for Selling Beer
on an Excursion Train.
The city was in a state of excite
ment yesterday over the fact that
Messrs W R Cochrane and Harry
Timmons had been arrested at
Chester, S. C, by a constable, for
selling beer on South Carolina soil
and had been jailed. Humor also
had Mr. R J Sifford implicated, and
the affair caused no little talk and
interest. The facts in the case, as
heard from Mr. Sifford last night
on his return are these:
When the excursion was spoken of
Mr. Cochrane suggested to Mr. Sif
ford that they operate a refreshment
car between Charlotte and Atlanta,
on the day of the excursion. Mr,
Sifford was to furnish part of the
money and get in return part of the
proceeds. This they agreed on, and
Mr. Cochrane went about to stock
hiB car. Mr. Sifford says he did not
buy any of the supplies nor did he
know what was in the car.
They made the trip to Atlanta
without occurence of any kind. On
their return, when near Chester, S.
C, as he and Messrs. Cochrane and
Timmons were standing in the re
freshment car, a man, who it was
soon learned was Constable Newbolt,
came in the car, and walking up to
Mr. Cochrane drew a pistol and
covering Mr. Cochrane with it with
one hand, held toward him with the
other a pair of handcuffs. "Put
these on," said he; "you are my pris.
oner you have been selling beer on
the train inside of the limits of this
State." Mr. Cochrane replied,
"There is no need for you to point
a pistol at me, or shoot me; I will go
with you without trouble." Thus
assured, the constable returned the
handcuffs to hiB pocket. He als
arrested Mr. Timmous, but neither
he nor Mr. Cochrane was hand
cuffed.
When the train reached Chester,
the constable and his prisoners got
off. Mr. Sifford made up his mind
to help his partner for the trip out,
and so he stopped off with him, to
render him aHy assistance needed in
the way of bond.
The party proceeded at once to a
magistrate's office. Mr. Cochrane,
in answer to the charge of selling
beer in South Carolina, answered
that he had sold no beer, only a
beyerage known as "excelsior tonic."
A jug of blackberry wine had also
been found on the car by the con
stable. Mr. Cochrane stated that it
did not belong to him, but had been
put on the train by one of the pas
sengers. He might have saved his
breath, however, for he was bound
over just the same, first in the Bum
of $200 for selling "excelsior tonie,"
nd in a second bond.of $200 for the
jag of wine being on the train. Mr
Timmons was required to give bonds
also $400 the Bame as Mr. Coch
rane.
Mr. Sifford at once offered to go
on their bonds, but was informed
that his bond could not be accepted,
as he was not a citizea of the State.
Leaving Messrs. Cochrane and
Timmons in charge of the constable
at the magistrate's office (they were
neyet in jail), he went with the
sheriff in search of Jo Means, whom
he found, and who went on the
bonds. The Charlotte men were
then turned loose, and, with Mr
Sifford, came on home last night

JOHN C. DAVIS CAPTURED.
lie Tnrnod Vp at Morehead City lMtit
Sight, Having: Walked tbe ins
tance In Hix Day.
John C Davis will be in tbe In
sane Asylum again tonigh', after
having been at large for fix days.
He turned up at Morehead City last
night and will in Raleigh this after
noon, probably.
This, Dayis' second escape from
the asylum, was similar in one re
spect to hiB former flight. On the
first occasion he had been fretting
to go to Wilmington to "straighten
out' his affairs; he accordingly
slipped away and walked nearly the
entire distance in bitter cold weather,
to the scene of his embezzlements,
On this occasion, as was told in Sun
day's paper, he was greatly worried
at neyer having seen his mother's
grave, so he started out on a long
tramp, only to be recaptured, when
foe-t sore and weary, he arrived at
his destination.
Dr. Kirby was confident all the
while that Davis was making for
Beaufort, and the telegram frem
Clayton bore him out in this belief,
Tuesday Mr. Crawford was sent to
Moerhead City to await the lunatic.
Last night the superintendent re
ceived a telegram saying that Davis
had arrived, having walked the en
tire distance.
The eccentric embezzler and lun
atic seems to be possessed of great
nerve, and cunning to a degree.
When his disordered mind is set on
one object, he is apt to make a siren
nous attempt to follow it out, as his
two escapes show.
And when Davis returns, after
the jaunt, he will very likely haye
accomplished bis design to gaze on
the grave of his dead mother. Ral

A murder took place in Davie
county Wednesday when Cain, s
name with which we are all familiar,
was killed by his brother, who shot
him to death. No clubs were used
in this affray as in the one when
Able was slain. The Salisbury
Herald of Thursday famishes the
following:
"Marshall and Fillmore Cain
brothers, engaged in an altercation
at the home of their father, about
six miles northwest of Mocksville,
yesterday morning and the lattei
was killed. Full particulars could
not be learned.
As told the Herald Marshall was
contracting with some men to do
some work when Fillmore, who was
under the influence of whiskey,
came up and commenced cursing his
brother and accusing him of not
paying his debts. The contract was
completed while the cursing con
tinned, and then Marshall fired
upon his brother, killing him.
Both men were unmarried and
were between 25 and 40 years old.
They were prominent in their com
munity, but the one who was killed
had the reputation of being a little
wild. The other was yery quiet an
peaceable.
No arrest had been made when
our informant learned of the homi
cide,"
