WHOLE NO. 332. GTVE us a trial THE : STANDARD. 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. Savignv. IN OLD MISSISSIPPI. Democrats Yesterday Kominated state Ticket. Jackson, Miss., Aug. 7 The Democratic State convention was Cilled to order at 12:10 today by Chairman Booth. Senator j Z George was chosen permanent chair- man amid great enthusiasm. The convention then went to work upon the ticket without delay. Hon. J H McLinrin was unanimously nom inated for Governor. The first ba' lot for Lieutenant-Governor resulted in the nomination of Hon. J H Jones. The nomination of J L Power, of Hinds, a local favorite, for Secretary of State on the first ballot brought forth another noisy demon stration. Col.

New Orleans Picayune. ' 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 Charlotte Observer. HE IS DEAD. Injured In tbe Wreck at If aw River Tuesday F V Snell Burt. Mr. E W Durham, of Chapel Hill, who was i o seriously injured in the wreck of the Bpecial train haaling tbe hremen to Newbern, which ran into the hind end of a frieght train at Haw River Tuesday, died of his injuries Wednesday afternoon. The wreck was a terrible affair, but might have been worse. Among the list of injured 'ones, the Greensboro Record has this: . F V Snell, a member of Eagle Hose, No. 7, though not one of tbe racers, was injured bo that he found it necsessary to return on the 7.45 traiu last night. Ee was met by Dr Tate and carried home, where his injuries were attended to. Got In Deep Water. Dr. L M Archey and Col. Paul B Means, in returning from a business trip to No. 7, Tuesday evening, were in the rain- At the McAllister branch on the tStoke'a Ferry road they were dipped. When reaching Adam's Creek, they were stopped from sundown until 11 o'clock. air. R S Harris joined this party. They fared fine, they say, at Mr. John Cook's during the delay. 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 eigh News and Observer. About tbe Hnicide.
