CHAPTER : V (Contir But this 'exchange value stable' The dozen ; egss an2 steake may possess the 2ni: value today, and tomorrow i valne as two f pounds or i. chansle ness.-'of exch:. & due to.: what. : vr& 'call aup; If. t : r?!?a,1H,r.f'7'V ' , same-tomorrow as it was yesterdavr, but the supply twice as great, and, the sup plyof and demand for eggs unchanged , then the dozen. eggs will have the 'ex change value' of two pounds of steak; what is said of the eggs and the -steak may be said of all other commodities. As we have said before value ; can only be; expressed relatively . A dozen eggs .have always the same value, , which is Hbsointely undefinable, V but : their ex- f;hange Value, or relative value, or value s compared with other things; varies as vary the supply of eggs and the demand foreggs. . The only Jyalue that can'. be determined " is exchange value or the value in exchange ..." Now gold and silver, the metals of which money is made by man, are' com modities just as iron and lead are com--moditiet?. The ''exchange value" of gold and eilver- varies as do the, supply of gold and fiilver and the demand foi them. - Sometimes gold - is cheaper, sometimes dearer: the "same is true of silver. This'exchane value" chaages as does the 'exchange value" ef any I other -commodities- depending : etern ally upou the natural laws of supply and demand. If there were in existence but one single ounce of gold, and there were the same demand for gold as. thejte is today, then that single ounce of gold would possess the same'exebange value' as does all of the gold on earth today. -If there were twice as much gold on earth today zk'. there is, and the demand for gold were the same as it is today, then two ounces of crold would nossesa only the -" ex change val&ef' of the oneotin&e of today demand The law is as self evident ana irrefutable as the -law of gravity The great economist, Adam Smith, the father of English political economy, ,in his Waalch of Nations says: . Gold and silver, however, like every other commodity vary .In their value, are somei lines cheaper and sometimes' dearer, pometimas easier and sometimes of more difficult purchase. The discovery, of America diminished the value of gold and silver m Europe, In his profound. " t reatise on money, . (Values of ; Money), the great phil osopher John Locke writes: I By which means It comes to pass that the Intrinsic value of gold and silver is nothing bu; the quanity which men , give or receive of them. For they hav ing, as money, no other vaule but as . pledges to procure-, what "one ; wants or - f desires, and they procuring what we want . or desire only by their quantity, it Is eyi ' dent that the Intrinsic value of silver . and gold used in oommei ce is nothing but their quantitv ' J Locke declares further ' For the value of money in general is the Quantity of all the money In the world in proportion to all the trade. John Stuart Mill, in his ! Principle of Political Economy says this: ; -,. The value or purchasing power of mn- . ey depends on demand land supply Money Is bought and sold' like 'other things, wherever other things, are :' bought and soldf or ; money . f . -The supply of money Is all the money in circulation Vat the 'time. If tae whole money in circulation wad doubled, : prices would be doubled. ; If .there were less money in the hands of the com- ' ' - munity, and the same amount of goods to be sold, less money altogether would ; be given for them, and they would be sold I ;atlower prioes. v-"- f "V-";;." V Robert Giffen,'a Gold MonometaHlsl writes: . ' . ' :i ; - In this sense to say that the quantity of i money regulates prices is, only the same thing as to say or: any article that is bought of sold that Its quantity ls a ma terial factor, in determi ting its value .; , (Case' Against Bimetalism, j age 218.) Mr. GItiens who is the' greatest of all English Gold Monometallists, further says in his Cse Against Bimetallism: - '..It j we were told that copper. Iron - or wheat were rising because there, was a deficiency of the supply of them te ' meet ' the demands we should accept the state . , ment as a matter of course. But what is true of iron or copper or wheat must equally be true of any commodity which happens to be the standard monetary sub stance. If gold or silver is that substance, . - and eold or silver is increasing In demand : !- without a corresponding - increase In supply,1 then people who want cold or -: silver for any purpose must give more for them." And this , will "be described as a. fall of prices, We see, then, 'how -widely mistaken these monometallists have been who, in their dislike of bi metallism, have denied that the recent , great demand for' gold in its relation to ' its supply were likely to have caused a rise in its exchange fralue for other thiugs. at in this way, the fall of pricee v proof that gold in relation to mds for it, has been reUtirely than It was. Everybody, has re more for It. if everybody who al or pig Iron was giving uiore a before we should not hesitate t coal or pig Iron were relative: n demand than theyl hid been; , should say of the' coat and re must also say of gold or silver' . case?

" ; .... t ' ' - . - Ke ,roes Have V oice in White Scnools ; In the campaign of ,1892 and .1896 we heard a sreat'deal about the unwilling ness of the" Democratic party to let the people rule. On many a stump it was said: Why, they wont even , let von vot for school commlttoemen. They are appointed by court house rings." Well, Democratic rule; has been suc ceeded by the rule of Republicans and their allies. Do the new powers let "the people vote for school committee men ?" Are they not named by - a few political bosses wherever Fusionists have control ? And, worse than that,-tlo they not ram down the throats of the people negro committeemen to manage white schools' and select teachers for white children? Worse still,, do they not ap point negro committeemen in townships in which the negroes are few in number 1and in which jno negro committeeman coula be elected by a popular vote ? If the Democrats did not ?et the peo ple vote for school committeemen, they appointed the fittest men to manage the schools. They did not pu t v the 'bottom rail on top by giving negroes . a. voice in selecting, teachers for white schools. They did' not make political merchandise of the education of the child ran. In Wake county, in New Light township, wnere the negro population is small, the school board has given a. negro a voice in se decting'the teacher of the .white school. Unless - the spirit of that people Juts changed, they will resent this new de parture as will the white peole in every section of the State. , Two fusion victories has not : broken the spirit of the North Carolina Anglo Saxons. They are not yet willing that the teacher who- is - to instruct their chi?dren shall owe his position; to one or more negro committeemen. Wherever tiiis is attempted it will result in; dam age to the schools. The Boards of Ed ucation ought to go slow. News - and Observer, . R. It. ISonds. We- are informed by City Attorney Owen H. Guion that the sale of the W. N. & N. Ry, yesterday in no way af fects New: Bern railroad bonds, as they are presumably held by Mr. Thomas Mclntyre personally, .
