THE ARGUS. N. J. HAHTIOI 4( J. U. ncDOIALD, Editor* Mtid I'ur*ltellers. Entered at the /‘outoffice uP Jackson as second class mail mutter. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. iMckvoii, July |g, m. ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM. THE A, B, ( ’ OF FINANCE It it (lien lx* tru(*, as shown in tlie tonne: article, that the pttrehas ’**K power of ui.oiey h regulated by iU quantity in circulation, ami tiiat iU quality, or the material of which it is made, does not affect its purchasing power, what becomes of the intrinsic value theory ? It is evident that if its advocates submit gold to the same test that, is applied to other things th-jy will sron see that its intrinsic qualities a ..d its many uses do not give to it its value, 'l ake as a test the air we breathe. No man will say that gold with all of its fine quali ties, great beauty and many uses, is an) more necessary to the welfare of man than the breath of life itself, yet who woo'd pay anything for a cubic foot of air? Quantity in circulation you sec governs value. I quote as follows : Ihe theory of the intrinsic value of money has been abandoned by the best writers and speakeis Encyclopedia Britauica. Metallic money while acting as coin is identical with paper ii respect to being destitute of intrinsic value North Brit inli Reyiew. An article is determined to he money by reason of the performance by it of certain functions without regard to its form or substance.—Appleton’s. Atner can Encyclopedia. I'herj is no more insignificant thing in trinsically in the economy of society than money.—John Stuart Mill. In view of the above, a paper money never to be redeemed in speoie, if limit ed to the business needs of the country and stamped with legal tender function, will lie good money as long as the (lag floats and the republic survives. Let me quote again, for out of the mouths of many witnesses the truth is estab lished. Whatever the goverment agrees to re ceive iu payment for the public dues is money, no matter what its form may be; treasuiy notes, drafts, etc. Such bills ox paper issued under the authority of the United States are money.—Henry Clay. There is plenty of evidence to prove that an inconvertable paper money if carefully limited in quantity can retain its full value. Such was the case with the Bank of. England notes for several years after the suspension of specie pay ments in 1797 aud such is the case with the present notes of the Bauk of Franoe. —Prof. Stanley Jevons. With the advancement of knowledge and science we discover that it would be another improvement to banish the prec ious metals from employment to which during a less enlightened period they liaye been so advantageously supplied.— Ricardo. If there were perfect security for pa per being issued in such quantities as to preserve its yalue relatively to the mass of circulating commodities nearly equal, the precious metals might be entirely dispensed with not ouly as a circulating medium, but also as a standard to which to refer the value of paper.—*J. R. Mc- Culloch. Lord Overstone, Alexander Baring, and Mr. Gallatine, Jefferson’s secreta* ry of the treasury, all maintained the same doctrine. The ouly advantage then to be urged in behalf of gold would be its value in time ot war when the very integrity of the gov ernment was threatened, or when someone desiring to move his proper ty to a foreign country would desire it converted into foreigu money, but Americans, however, expectiug tolive and die here and to stand by the gov ernment under all circumstances can have nothing belter than paper money with the government stamp. This would leave the production of our gold mines free to use in settling in ternational balances. How little we would need for this purpose can be seen from the following statement: Since 1375 the balance of trade has been constant) vin our favor, except the years 88, 89 and 93, fer which three years the entire adverse balance was only $.>0,000,000 (round numbers) w idle the favorable balance for the other years reached the enormous total of more than two thousand mil lions of dollars! I refer you for the truth of the above to page 70 statis tical abstract of the U. 8., forlS93, is sued under the aupervisiou of Mr. Carlisle. So that for the past 20years we needed no gold reserve for inter national balances, but should have gained from foreign source 6ome 1950 millions. Our own product during these 20 years was about 649 millions. So that our stock of gold ought to be today some two thousand six hundred millions. The actual slock is 568 millions, aud the United States treas ury tinda it impossible to maintain a gold reserve of 100 millions, why U this so ? and where has it. all gone ? Thereby hangs a tale which will be told in my next. America. 8188 IS FOB BARTLETT. The democracy of Bibb iu mass meet ing assemblsd, adopted a ringing set of resolutions yesterday formally placing in nomination for representative in con gress from the Sixth congressional dis trict Judge Charles L. Bartlett. It was a big meeting and enthusiastic, and when the resolution instructing the del egation from Bibb to use all honorable means to secure the nomination of Judge Bartlett, there was not a dissent ing voice. Bibb has every reason to be proud of her candidate. There is no democrat in the state who has been truer to the in terests of the party or to the state tnan has this tried and true leader. Ready at all times with his voice and influence to tight for democracy, he has not hesi tated to sink his personal ambitions and his private interests when the good of the party demanded it. Two years ago the nomination for congress was almost within his grasp. He had within one vote of enough to nominate him. It would have been practically impossible for any other as pirant to have secured votes enough to have beaten him, and had he been a man who placed his selfish interests aboye all others it is altogether proba ble that by prolonging the trouble, which had already beguu to develop el ements of bitterness, he might have se cured the nomination. Judge Bartlett, however realized that the democratic party in Georgia was facing a foe of unknown strength; that a presidential election fraught with the momentous consequences to the country was pending, and that it was of prime importance that the democratic party should present an unbroken front to the foe aud should go into the fight solid and united. He was a big enough man to sink seif interest for the good of the party and of the country, and without hesitation re linquished the prize and fought, loyally and skilfully as he had "always done, for democratic success. This is simply history. Bibb has reason to be pioud of her gallant atandaid-bearer. Her democrats aie willing to sbaie with him the whole district and bringing to bear as he. does, a strong personality, firm convic tions, bright intellect and stalwart oourage, the sixth district will share her pride in Judge Bartlett before he has served his first term in congress Editorial in Macon Telegraph. FINE FARMERS. We have always said that Butts county had some of Ilia finest fanning lands and the best tanners in the state of Georgia, but we now wish to wid en our scope ot comparison, and say that Col. M. V. McKibben and Mr. Leroy Moore have two fields of as fine bottom land corn as can be found this side of the Mississippi river. In com pany with Col. McKibben our Junior went out to one of his fields of corn, near Jeukiusburg, this county, Wed nesday morning, and was perfectly astounded at the immense quantity and luxurious growth of this very important staple. He showed us about one mile of the finest bottom corn it has ever been our pleasure to gaze upon, and right over on an adjoining farm is another field ot the same vari ety, and this is under the personal supervision of Mr. Leroy Moore, who is considered one among the best farmers in the South. We say this without tear of contradiction. Col McKibben and Mr. Moore make a team that can’t be downed when it comes to farming, and if all of our people would be as dilligent in study ing the modes of farming as these worthy gentlemen are in makingsuch a success of it, there would be less people going to Texas and more com ing to Georgia. Colonel McKibban has some cotton that stauds waist high and will yield at least a bale to the acre, and Mr. Leroy Moore is right along by the side of him with about fifty acres of the same kiud. If we were called upon to name two meu who stood head and shoulders above the average farmer our answer would be in every case, Col. M. V, McKibben aud Mr. Leroy Moore. It’s a pity that others do not emulate the example of these geutlemeu and live at home in stead of sending away for such thiugs as can be better raised right here in our midst. MAJ. BACON AND SILVER. From the LawrencevilleNewg. The News said last week it would gladly support Maj. Bacon for the sen ate, provided his views on public ques tions were in harmony with its own. We now go further and say that we are for him heart and soul, if he has been correctly reported. In his Canton speech last Tuesday the Constitution quotes him as follows: “I desire to say for myself that I would not favor any silver dollar which is not on a parity with the gold dollar in purchasing power.” The above statement does credit to Maj. Bacon’s democracy. It shows that he stands on the Chicago platform, and that he has no sympathy with the Popu list movement in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver without re gard to parity. Maj. Bacon, like every other democrat, favors silver coinage on parity with gold, but he realizes the folly of the third party’s position on the question, and he emphasizes the fact that he will favor none but honest money. The News will, therefore, give Maj, Bacon its hearty support. He is today the ablest man aspiring to the place for which he asks, and Georgia’s interests will rest safely in his hands. He has been indorsed by a large number of counties and the way seems clear for his success.
