THE A L C OF FINAX “Fho Moncy Quention Famtinrly £xe d to cry-Dny People, An Short nnd Eaay Lessons, I'ref. 5, Neweomb tn Jarper's Werkly. No doubt the reader thinks ho knowa nothing about tho money question, and that it ls quite beyond bis uoderatanding, If Lo has over tried to loarn auythiug, hio had boon o bowildered by ©oDpoBIDg theories and opposlng assertions es to feol that o know less then he did betore. Ilo is, therofuro, quita ready to loate tho question 12 tho politiclans and to vole on it 88 they think Lest. An s first stop, twothioga must ba unlearned. Thero aro two entirely groundlesa ldeas preva- leut respecting tho salue of monoy, which Lavo 10 moro res| foundstions than tho notions about witclicraft which provalicd a couplo of ceuturioa g0, tud ou which s largo pait of the follacies of tho subject 1 founded. Uutil thoso idess are, so 10 epoak, unlearned, no progress iy poasible. LEB30Y 1.—-ONE DOLLATL Tho first idea to which I allude i that 1f any- thing iscalled a dollar by acl of Cougreas, tf ovory one pasaes and accopts it as a dollar, it must thoreforo havo a deilnite and fixed valae, und bo for all practical purnoses just as good ag ‘o gold dollar, You think, perhapy, tust s dollar must bo worth just 21, and neither moro nor less. How, then, can its valuo bo uncariain? I snawor that two kinde of dollars can differ from each otbor in value just aa much s two loaves of Lread cau in mizo and qualily. You suow very woll, for instanco, that during tho pust ton yesrs our paper dollar has boen worth from b 10 30 per cent losa thap tho gold dotlar. To explain the matter fully I must perhaps bo s little sbstruso, sad thereforo ask a closer atteution than [ will elsowhere, All the difficnlty of this matter rites Irom the fact that value s womething which cannot be seen nor felt, It Congress sliould enact that all tho foot and yard moasures of the coun:ry shonld be made of a kind of rubber which wovld sbrink to 9 incaes in tho courso of a fowr monthe, but which wore novortheless etamped **1 foot, by oet of Congross,” or 1 yard,” satho caso might be, overybody would see ot & glanco how ridiculous it would be to require every one to buy and sell by auch measures, 1f a man snonid bozst of having gronn foot and a half in the courso of n year, becanso last year Lo only measured b feet, while with tho new Iudia-rob- ber ' mensures ho was now G fect by nct of Congrees, his neighbors would lauzh at bim. Tho fact that evorybody might call the now rubbor moasures 1 foot, and might buy and soll Ly thsem, would not, in tha viaw of aoy :o;wibln mau, mako them a8 long as the old foot- ratoa. The roanon that these India-rubber measures wonld look omueh more ridiculous tian eim- flar dollars iw ennply thal their defivicucy su length 8 obvions ta the eye, whereas the depro- ciation of tho dollar i3 not obvions. In roahty, ealling o thing one doilar, and legalizing it oy encli, 1o more makces it the cquivalent of & gold dollar, or of anything clge in value, then ealling it & foot n1)l malke 1t o foot long, oo matter what 1t8 real longth mny be. — But we ennaot bee ner feel tho deprectation of the dallnr oy wo_would 500 tho shorteniug of the foot moasure. Wo be- come mwarc of it only by the geucral risa of prices, aud the gonoral increase I the cowt of hiving, This riso of prices, bowaver, proves tha dopreciation in the kauis way taat the ittls man mossnring 6 feot 6 in hin stockiugs wouid prove that tho foot-rule with which Lo wos measured wha too sliort. LESEON HL.—VALUL CAKNOT DR GIVEK DY GOVERN= SE. ALNT. The accond notion to be unlearned in Intimato- Iy nosocinted with tho former ouo.
