THE ().\IAHAV DAILY BEE U JUN E 14 PAGE WHY DOES MONEY EXIST? Mr. Andrew Oarnegie, in an Interesting Manner, Answers the Question. HOW MONEY WAS ESTABLISHED. Explosion of the Idea That it May Be Created by Government with Advice as Regards National Finances. Anarew Carneole in Nyrth American Review for June, T suppose every ono who has spoken to or tyritten for the public has wished at times that everybody would drop e Just listen to him for a few minutes 80 this morning, for I believo that a grave Injury threatens the people and the progress of our country simply bocause the masses— the farmers and the wage-earners—do not understand tho question of money. [ wish therofore to explain *monoy” 1n 8o simple a way that all can understand it. Porhaps somo one in tho vast audience which T have imagined I_am about to hold spollbound cries out: *Who are you—a gold bug, a millionaire, an iron-baron, a beneficiary of the McKinley billi” Before beginning my address, let mb thereforo reply to that imaginary gentleman that { have not s a thousand ol lars in gold for many a year. Sofar as the McKinley bill is concerned, T am perhaps the ono man in the United States who has the best right to complain under it, for it has cut and slashed the duties upon iron and steel, reducing them 20, 25 and 30 per cent, ana if it will recommend mo to my supposed interrupter, I bee to inform him’ that I do not greatly disapprove of these reductions, that as an’, American manufacturer 1 intend t0 strugglé still ugainst the foreignor for the home market, even with tho lower duties fixed upon our product by that bill, and that Tamnotin favor of protection beyond the point necessary to allow Americans to ro- tain their own market 1n a fair contest with the foreigner. It does not matter who the man 1s, nor ‘what he does—be he worker in the mine, fac- tory or field, farmer, laborer, merchant, manufacturer, or millionaire,—ho is deeply interested in understanding this ?ul':l!irm of money, aud in having the right policy adopt- od in regard to it. Therefore 1 ask all to hear what I have to say, vecause what 1s good for one worker must bo good for all, and what 1njures one must injure all, poor of rich. To get at the root of the subject, you must know, first, why money exists; secondly, what money really is, Let metry to tell you, taking & new' district of = our own modern country to illustrate how “monoy” comes. In times past, when the people only tilled the sol, and commerce and manufactures had not de- veloped, men had few wants, and so they got along without “‘moncy” by’ exchanging the articles themselves when they needed some- thing which they had not. The farmer who wanted a pair of stoes gave so many bushels of corn for them, and his wife bought her sun-bonuet by giving so many bushels of po- tatoes; thus all sales and parchases wero made by exchanging articles—by barter. ‘As population grew and wants extended, this plan became very inconvenient. Ono purposes goid is needed for, becauso it is host suited for those purposes.’ It meets us evorywhere, Wo. eanuot evon get marricd without the ring of gold. Now, because metals have a value in tho opon market, being desired for other uses than for the one use as ‘‘money,” and cause the supply of these is limited and can- not be increased as oasily as that of wheat or tobacco, theso metals are loss liablo to fluctuate in value than any article previously used as “money.” This is of vital import unce, for the ono essential quality that is needed in the article which wo use us a basis for exchanging all othor articles is fixit; value. The race bas instinctively aly sought for the one article in the world which most resemblos the north star among the other stars in the heavens, and used it as ‘‘money”-the ariiclo that changes least fin value, as ¢ which changes its ns, and what the tho 0sition least in thy North Star is among stars the articlo people eloct s “money’ 15 umong artices. Al other articles revolve around it, ns all other stars revolve around the North Star. We haye procceded so far that we have now dropped all perishable articles and elected metals asour “money:'’ or, rather, metals havo proved themselves better than anything else for the standard of value, “money.” But_another great step had to ve taken, When 1 was in China, I reeeived as change shavings and_ chips cut off a bar of silver and weigned beforc my eyes in_tbe scalos of tho merchant, for the Chinese have no “coined” money. In Siam *'cowries” are used - protty littie shells which the natives use as ornaments. Twelve of these represent acent in value. But you can well ses how impossible it was for me to prevent the Chinese dealer from giving me less than the amount of sitver to which 1 was_entitled, or the Sium dealer from giving me poor sheils of the value of which I knew nothing, Civ lized nations soon felt the necessity of having their governments take certain quuntities of the metals and stamp upon them evidenco of their woight, purity, and real value. Thus me the *'coinage” of motals into “mon a great advance. Peoplo tnen knew at sight the exact valuo of each piece, aad could no longer be cheated, no weighing or testing being necessary. Note thaf the gov- ernment stamp did not add any value to tho coin. The government did mnot attempt to “make money’ out of notning; it only told the people the market value of the metal in each coin, just what the metal—the raw muterial—could be sold for as metal and not as “‘money."’ _But_even after this, much swindling oc- cirred. Rogues cut tho edges and then boat the coins out, so that many of these became very light. A clever Frenchman invented the “milling” of the edges of the coins, whereby this robbery was stopped, and ci ilized nations had at last the coinage which still remuins with us, tho most perfect ever known, because it is of high value in itself and changes least. An ideally-perfect article for use as “money” isone that never changes. This i ential for the protection of tho ho farmers, mechanics, and ail ; for nothing tends to make every ugo ‘of articles o speculation so much as “money” which changes in value, ana in the game of speculation the masses of the people are always sure to bo beaten by the few who deal in money and know mo:t about it. Nothing places the farmer, the wage-earner, and all those mot closcly connected with financial affairs at so great a disadvantage in disposing of thefr labor or products as changeable “money.”” All such are exactly in tho position oceupied by the farmer trad- ing with the storekeepor as before doscribed. You all know that fish will not rise to the fly in calm weather. It 15 when the wind blows and the surface is ruffied that the poor victim mistakes the lure for a genuine fly. S0 it is with the business affairs of the world. man in the district then started a general store and kept on hand a great many of the things which were most wanted, and took for these any of thearticles which the farmer had to give in exchange. This was a great step in advance, for the farmer who wanted half & dozen different things when ho went to the village had then no longer to search for half a dozen different people who wanted one or more of the things he had to offer in exchange. He could now go directly to one man, the storekeeper, ana_for any of his agricultural products he could get most of the articles ho desired. It did not matter to the storeke¢per whether ho gave the farmer tea or coffee, blankets or a hay rake; nor did 1t matter what _articles he took from the farmer, wheat or corn or potatoes, so ho could send them away to the city and get other articles for them which ho~ wanted. The farmer could even pay the wages of his hired men by giving them orders for articles upon the store. No dollars appear here yet, you see: all is still barter—exchange of ar- ticles; very inconvenient and very costly, because the agricultural articles given in ex- change had to be hauled sbout ana were always chonging their value, One day the storekeeper would be willing to take, say, a bushel of wheat for so many pounds of sugar, but upon the next visic of the farmer it might be impossible for him to doso, He might require mecre wheat for the same amount of sugar. But it the market for wieat had risen and not fallen, you may be sure the storekeoper didn’t take less wheat as promptly as he required more. Just the same with any of the articles which the farmer had to offer. These went up and down in value; so did the tea and the coffee, and the sugar and the clothing, and the boots and tho shoes which the storekeeper had for exchango. Now, it is needless to remark that in all these dealings the storekeeper had the advan- tage of the farmer. He knew the markets and sheir ups and downs long beforo the far- mer did, aud he knew the signs of the tim es better than the farmer or any of his custom- ers could. The cute storekeeper had the in- side track all tho time. Just here I wish vou 10 note particularly that the storekeeper liked 10 take one article from the farmer better than another; that article being always the oue for which the storokeoper had the best customers—something that was most in do- mand. In Virginia that_article came to be tobacco; over a great portion of our country it was wheat—whence comes the saying, **As good s wheat” It was taken everywhere because it could be most easily disposed of for anything else desired. A curious illustration avout what I find in the life of my friend, Judge Mellon of Pitts- burg, who has written one of the best blographies 1n tho world becauso it is done so naturally. When the judge's father bought his farm near Pittsburg he agroed to pay in ‘‘dollars,” but in ‘sacks of wheat" many sacks of wheat every year. Dot 80 very long ago. Wuat we call “money” was not somuch used then in the west and south, but you see that in its absence experience had driven the people o select some one article to use for exchanging other articles, and that this was wheat in Pennsylvania and tobacco in Vir- inla, This, was done, no: through any log- slation, not because of auy liking for one artiole ‘more than another, but simply be cause experience had proved tho necess for making the one thing serve as *'mou which had proved itself best as a basis lu paying for a farm or for effccting any ex- change of things; and, further, different ar. ticles were found best for the purpose in dif- ferent vegions. Wheat was “as good as wheat” for using as ‘“‘money.” independent of any law. The people had voted for wheat and made it their “money;” and becauso’ tobacco was a principal crop'in Virginia, the people there found it the bost for usiug as ‘money” in that state, Please observe that in all cases human so- clety chooses for that basis-article we call “money" that which Huctuates least in prico, is the most wenerally used or desired, is in the greatest, most general, and most constant demaud and has value in {tself, *“Monoy" is ouly & word moaning the article used as tho basis-articlo for exchanging all other articles. An article is not first mude valuable by law and then elected to bo “money.” The articlo first proves itself valuable and bost suited for the purpose, and so becomes of itself and in ltself tho basis-article—money. It clects ftself, Wheat and tobacco were just as clear- ly “money” when used as the basis-article as gold and silver are “'monoy" now. Wo take ono step further, The country becomes more and more populous, the wants of the people more and more numerous, The prodacts like wheat and tobac: o, changeablo in value, liable to decay, and of different grades, is soon found troublesomo and unsuited for' the growiug business of exchange of articles, and the therefore unfit to be I er used as *‘mon: You seo at once that we could not get along today with grain as “money.” Then metals proved their superiority, These do not de- cay, do not change in valne so rapidly, and they share with wheat and tobacco the' one essential quality of also having value in themselves for other purposes than for the meve basis of exchange. People want them for personal adornment or in manufactures and tho arts—for a thousand uses and it is this very fact that makes them switable for use s “money.’ Just try o count how mauy not 30 This was In stormy tumes,when prices are going up and down. when the value of the articlo used as money is dancing about—up today and down tomorrow—and the waters are troubled, the clever speculator catches the tish and fills his basket with the victims, Hence the farmer and the mechanic,and all people having crops to sell or rveceiving salaries or wages, are those most deeply interested in securing and maintaining fixity of value iu the article they have to take as “money.” When the use of metals as money came, it was found that more than two motals were necessary to meet all requirements. It would not be wise to make a gold coin for any smalier sum less than a dollar, for the coin would be too small; and we could not use a silver coin for more than one dollar, because the coin would be too large. So we had to use a less valuable metal for small sums, and we took silver; but it was soon found that we could not usa silver for less than ten-cent coins, a dime being as small a coin as can be used in silver; and we wera compelled to choose some- thing else for smuller coins. We had to take a metal less valuable than silver, and we took a mixture of nickel and copper to make five-cent pieces; but even then we found that nickel was too valuable to make one and two-cent pieces, and so we had to take copper alone for these—the effort in regard to every coin being to put metal in it as nearly as possible to the full amount of what the gov- ernment stamp said the coin was worth. Thus for one cent 1n copper we tried to put in a cent's worth of copper; in the ‘‘nickel” wo tried to put in something like five cents' worth of nickel and copper; but because cop- per and nickel change in value from day to day, even more than silver, it is impossibie to get in each coin the oxact amount of value. If we put in what was one day the exact value, and copper aud nickel rose in the warket as metal, comn would be melted down by the deulers’in these metals and a profit made by them, and we should have no coin left, Therefore we have to leave a my gin and always put a lttle less metal in these coins than would sell for the full amount they represent. Hence all this small coinago is called in the history of money of | t pace, and issued bonds which are now scarcoly worth tho paper they ate printed upon. ‘Kvery experimont, of this kind has proved that thero ean bo no noney “mado’ whero there {8 not yalue behind it. Our own country issued bonds, and tho people of other nations bought them for 40 cents on the dol- lar, although they boro and paid interest at 6 per cont in gold, so groat tho fear that would oven the bonds of this country not prove an exception to the usual fate of such urities iss during trying times. Only becauso the governmont kapt strict faith and | pald the interest and prineipat of these bonds in goid,and never in silver or auy depreciated v, has the valuoof iis bonds ad- 1 the credit of the United Statos o the highest in the world, exceeding that even of G reat in, There has never ion of the truth that in " ws in anything else, been a better illustr dealing with “mone, “honesty is the best” poliey.”” Qur govern: ment also issued some notes known as “grocnbacks,” But the wise men who did this took eare to provide a_fund of §100,000,- 000 in gold to redeem them, so that any man having 8 giecback can march to the treasury and receivo for it one dollar in gold. But I am novr to tell you another quality which this basis-articlo of motal has proved itself to possess, which you will find it vory difficult to believe. The whole world has such coufidence in its fixity of value that thero has beon built upon it, A upon a_sure foundation, a_tower of “credit” so nhigh, so vast, that ‘all the silver and gold in the United States, and all the groenbacks and notes issued by the government, only per- form 8 per cent of the exchanges of the country. Go into any bank, trust company, mill, store, or place of business, and you'will find that, for over ness transacted, only about$8,000 of *money is usod, and this only for petty purchases and payments. Ninety-two per cent of the 55 is dono with little bits of paper— chocks, drafts, Upon this basis also rest alt the government bends, all stato, county, and city bonds, and the thousands of millions of bonds tho sale of which has enabled our groat railway systems to be built, and also the thousands of millions of the earnings of the masses doposited in savings banks, which bavo been lent by these banks to vatious partios, and which must bo returned in ‘good money’’ or the poor depositor” will bo partially or wholly lost. Tho business and exchanges of the coun- try, therefore, are not done now with *‘money”’—with the article itself. Justas i former days the articles themselyes ceased to be exchanged, and & motal called *‘money’ was used toeffect the exchauges, so today tho metal itself—the,"money’’—is no longer used. The check or draft of the buyer of ar- ticles upon a store of gold deposited'in a bank alittle bit of paper—is all that pnsses be- tween the buyer and the seller. Why is this bit of paper taken by the seller or the one to whom there is udebt due! Because the taker is confident that if he really nceded the ar- ticlo itself that it calls for—the gold—he could get it. He1s confident also that he will not need the article itself, and whyt Because for what he wishes to biy the seller or any man whom he owes will tike his cheok. a similar littlo bit of paper, nstead of gola itself; and then, most vital of all, every one is confldent that the basis article cannot change in value. For remember it would be almost as bad if it rose in value as if it fell; steadiness of vaiue being one essentiat quality in *money" for the masses of the people. When, therefore, people clamor for more “money” to be put in circulation—that is, for more of the article which we use to effect an exchange of articies,— you sec that more “money” is not so much what is needed. Nobody who has had wheat or tobacco or any article to sell has ever fouud any troudle for want of “money” in the hands of the buyer to effect the oxchange, We had a vory severe financial disturbance in this country ouly throe months ago. ‘Money,” it was sutd, could not be had for business'purposes; but it was not the metal itself that was lack ing, but “credit,” confidence, for upon that, as you have seen, all business is done except smail purchases' and payments which can scarcely be called “business” at all. Today the business man cannot walk the street without being approached by people bogging him to take this “credit” at very low rates of interest: at 2 per cent per aunum ‘“‘money’ (credit) can be had day by day. There has been no considerable difference in the amount of “‘money” in existence during the ninety days. There was about as much money in the country in January us _there 1s in March, 1t was not the want of money, then, that caused the_ trouble. The founda: £100,000 of busi- savings tion' had been ' shaken upon which stood the ninety-two thousand of every one hundred thousand _dollars of ‘busmess, The metal itself and notes—real *monoy,” as we have scen—only apply to the $5,000. ' Here conics the gravest of all dangers in tamporing with the basis. You shake directly the foundation upon which rests 92 por cent of all the business exckanges of the country,—confidence, credit, —and indirectly the trifling 8 pov cent as well which is transacted by the exchange of the weral itself or by government notes’ for the standard articlo is tho foundation for every exchange, both the $02,000 and tho 85,000 So, you see, if that be undermined, the vast struoture, comprising all business, built upon it, must totter.

For instance, in Britain no one can make another take “‘token money” for more thaa $10,and all silver coins there are classed as *‘token money.’ 1 cannot take you any more steéps forward in the dovelopment of *‘money,” because in tho coined-milled motals we have the last step of all; but I have some thiugs yet to tell you ubout it. Although one would think that in coined motal pieces we had reached perfection, and that with theso th masses of tho pooplo could not be cheated out of what is so essen- tial to their well-being—*"honest money’ yet ono way was found to defraud the people ©oven when such coln was used. The coins have sometimes been “debased by needy governmonts after exhausting wars or pestil- ence, when countries were really too poor or t00 weak to recover from their misforiunes, A coln is called a ‘‘debased” coin when it oos not possess metal enough to bring in the apen market the sum stamped upon the coin by tho government. Thero 1s nothing new about this practice, which always cheats tho wusses. It is very, vory old, Five hundred and soventy-four 'years before Christ tha urocks debased their coinage. The Roman emporors dobused theirs often whon in des- porate straits. Englana dobased hors in the year 1,300, The Seotchrcoin was once so de- based that §1 was worth ouly 12 cents. The Irish, the French, German and Spanish gov- ernmonts have all tried debased coin when they could wring no more taxes directly out | of their people, and had therefore to get more mouey from them indirectly, It was vays the last rosort to *debase' the coin- e, ‘Theso instances happened long ago.
