The yalue of a dollar, as Borne one has said, is the unknown amount of attraction existing between the mind and 412 grains of silver or 25 8 grains of gold, each metal ninetentbs fine. As a chemist would say it is the affinity existing between the mind and tbe pieces of metal. If A's mindXaa a greater affinity for B'a hat than it has for A's dollar, and B's mind has a greater affinity for A's dollar than it has for the hat, A's dollar will fly to B, and B's hat will fly to A. If. C's mind has greater affinity for the druggist's r!ass c soda water than it has for tive cents, c.c re? druggists' mind has a greater atHnity for the-live ccts tk it hs.i for the gods water, the i,o!. r jnoye to C and fbe Jive ouota will move to the drug gisr. tics iTO t : nada mid theebmmodi. - or HrrxrK" themselves ac- cording minds rv' i" their iif;isities. Those TEr-.od: ies having the areatt-. !ii itua tor one another will uciti either permanently or temporarily ;,cccrd'v g to the force of attraction which ciaws and binds them tegethtr. Now uiilliocB of minds and mil lions of r-oifiiaodities are constantly attracting one another. Money and ctber commodities are' kept going from one person to another until they finally arriyejn hands by which they are more or" less firmly held. This moving of money is called cir culation and possesses many features that are extremely interesting. The idea of motion is intimately connect- ed wi h that of circulation. If the movement of money be swift it is said that the circulation is rapid. If th movement is slow, then the cir culation is said to be slew. If a hundred dollars move with the ve locity or rapidity 10, it will do as much work as a thousand dollars moving with a velocity or rapidity 1. That is to Bay a hundred dollars circulating ten limes as fast as a thousand dollars will accomplish the same amount of work. This is illustrated by what are called good times and bad times. During the former business is active, money circulates freely, whilst during tl a latter, business is dull and money moves slowly or not at all, j The motive power behind circula tion iB confidence. When met "are confident that they can make; monej b making investments they are very likely to make the n. Where . there is a rac't of confidence as tewb.etb.er,. an enterprise or investment will pay, prudent men willjbe very jcaref uas to how and to what ; extent they ' take, hold. Will an investment pay, is the first question the cau tious business man asks, himself bo- ore" engaging in any speculative or other enterprise. It should be observed that it is not the confidence of the reckless venturer that gives case and rapid,, lty to circulation, borne men st em t have coufidcncn iu an? kind of ett- 1 uprise i ills tliOi'. nov ruoiiey by jiic to invest on the psine'; but, i I': creditor, : of ti.9 (.- is govsri impulse, t. protnotir-g that, if it pays, I win, k : j no; pay, you, the .

In that case the usit was an ounce, whereas before it had been a pound or twelve ounees Of course yalues were sot increased. Dividing a pound of sugar into twelve equal ports does not increase the quan'ity of sugar, Bat if yalues did not increase, as we won Td" say, the number of dollars did. By a simple act of govern nent one dollar became twelve dol lars. A Roman who was worth one thousand dollars was suddenly en riched to the amount of twelye thousand dollars. The pound of copper had felt the magic powei of the legislator, and was suddenly transformed into twelye pounds, Copper was the money. Tbe As or Pondo was the unit. It originally weighed one jound. When it waB divided into twelve equal parts eseh part was still called an As or Pondo, All this no doubt looks very pretty, but let us remember that the act of the legislator did not save cop per which ultimately lud to give way to silver, 8Dd what is of greater interest to ub. the act did not save Rome. The great Republic fell, and the liberties of tbe reople buried in the ruins. How much the change of standard of money had to do towards hasten ing the downfall of the mighty Re public it may be impossible, to. say, but that it contributed its share, whatever that share was can. not be doubted. The reckless speculation that would naturally follow such a speedy rise of prices, no doubt contributed to the ultimate result more than we would be will ing to admit. Now, it is one of the attending re suits of high priceB that, where a credit system prevails, the amount of debt is correspondingly increased with high prioes, a hundred dclhsr d-bt is more easily and qnickly made than with low prices, wm n thd renc tion comes, r. hich must come, the people are caught more largely in debt, than if prices had been low. Their downfall is more sweeping, and their ultimate recovery more hope leBS. What is wanted is not change, but invariability of standard. It should be kept in mind always that the change cf standard is not so much a change of the material which forms the standat d as of the yalue of the material. The standard of value is not a material something, bat the yalue of a materi.il some thing. Material can no more meas ure value, than a yardstick can meas ure bushels of wheat. If a note be giyea for one hundred dollars, the number of dollars is a fixed and. de finite quantity, but the value of the dollars may change, and wiil change if the standard by.which it is, meas ured keeps changing, and since notes are given as promises to pay numbers of dollars and not values of dollars, it follows that whilst the number of dollars to be pa d and received re mains thv same. Their value mat be gi enter or less at tbe time of settlement than it was at the time ,tte note'wds givSn, If the value of che dollars increases ttuii the debtor will be wronged, but if the value de creases the creditor wiil be wronged It is to prevent this wronging of either party to the contract, that has caused the most enlightened nations to seek that standard, wbichhas .the greatest stability of value. A contract neing made to py dollars and not to pay value of the dollars, it is very evident, that any rise or fall in . the value of the money, has no effect on the agreement to pay dollars. The agreement being to pay dollars, dol lars tnuBt be paid regardless' of any change of yalu9 that may have taken place since the contract wastaade.lt is for this reason that, shrewed busi ness.' men try -to settle all claims promptly, on ahortj, time , Short time;, notes are less subject to great t a'fiitibn of yalue than' lcm , tinje potei.; Oovernment banks, railroad, xity and other banks thai do not Hnature soon.-but leave long jeriods Icto run, are iriofe likely o be affected lW teaBon jthat the folders of such -bonds require that the standard 'shall not fluctuate in, valne. - To eecure themselves iu--this . respect, they usually require that the-bonds shall .ba paid at maturity in money based upon the least variable standard.-The least yariable standard at this time Seems te be gold, es tfie"-' most in te.Iigent and progressive nations $ayedecided . . .1 ' U The value of money ' should be i!qrmjih. amiiotjmimj jear to yer bat f remeadto-T?dei cade b JasyeariJ jfoinr; aX fbff D atu e,e6 things wiiltpermik- Ceni staiicV'ef rhh value. ihehUlve. bf i r - - i-- ; i coutse -juwn aroijifj k9 M'e!C tnatantiardAwiH inipi 5 f; Y know nothing oMhe mo- bidden pewerUwhichakeeps the Drug-store.

A gentleman was reading yester day in the New York Recorder about the boss grasshopper that live np in ouuivan county, a. x. xney are not only insatiable, but omnivorous. The other day, it is said, Farmer Jay McEwen, while working in his rye field, hung his vest, a new one, on the fence, and in a few minutes the hoppera had eaten it full of holes. On a neighboring farm a woman left a pair of new shoes out of doors Over night and next diy found that the grasshoppers had partly eaten them, utterly ruining hem, "That's pretty good," said the gentleman, "but they beat that in Texas. Last year some railroad ran a line of cars through Texas all painted green, and when the train stopped at the first station in the grassnopper country, the grass hoppers lit on the cars and ate them clean down to the wheels." Thia story is good but the cock roaches, or whatever you call these guilty conseienoe insects that tear off in auch confusion of face whenever you discover them, are almost as bad aa the grasshoppers. They have have eaten all the lunch baskets of the Observer's composing room force, along with their contents. Charlotte Observer.

The crowd , that heard Tillman was not over 750 and the crowd that heard Butler was sev eral hundred leas, for very many left when he bobbed up his bullet head full of hair. The Observer man made a meat awful wild guess when h. put the crowd at between 2,500 and 3,000. This estimate ticklea Marion Butler and he used it. Brownie and Brownie.
