Show THE CONSPIRATORS. WHO ARE CALLED MONETARY COMMISSIONERS. Arm Like the Fourteen Km Who worn to Kill All Their Clalai Hit. Dm Refuted and Kxyloded They Pnl Loaf A(oi There la an account given in the New Testament of fourteen men who bound themselvea together hr an oath that they would neither eat nor sleep till they had killed Paul. They did not succeed in killing the apostle and were necessarily compelled to break their wicked oath. The reason why these fourteen conspirators desired the death of Paul was that he was preaching against idolatry and other deceptions that were practiced against the people by a corrupt money class who misled the people with false doctrines. This band of ancient conspirators have something like a prototype In the eleven conspirators who banded themselves together at the Instance of the hankers' Indianapolis convention of "sound money" deceivers, and spent weeks In Washington In secret conclave, devising a plan to destroy the liberties of the American people. Vermont's discarded at the head of this band of conspirators. Their work has been laid before the public, and Is probably the most Ingenious piece of sophistry, false assumption and cunning. Innocent appearing assertion, ever produced. The false thetor ories of money Invented and practiced by bankers and hoary usurers, and that have been exposed and refuted by undeniable facts a thousand times, are all mustered with Inimitable skill. This class base their hopes on the old adage that a He well stuck to is as. good as the truth. It would be as tedious as unprofitable to follow their long meandering trail through their dissertation on money, and particularly the government money of the United States, which Is pronounced as "bad except its gold oolns. The whole contention of the band of conspirators Is for "standard" ' money, and that standard money must be gold, and the continuation of the present gold standard. They attempt to give no reason why gold Is a "standard" money or should be a standard, and the only standard money and not silver, except that It Is more handy than silver. Silver was as much of a stand-dar- d money for thousands of years before 1873 as gold, simply beoauae the mints of ail countries were open to Its ooinage, and there was always a demand for the metal beyond the supply. Open them again and the same conditions will produce the same results. There would be the same demand for silver as for gold. dose the same mints against gold and it will fall In price In the bullion market the same as silver has fallen, only a great deal more. The monetary scheme concocted by the eleven conspirators of the Indianapolis bankers' convention, In principle and object. Is the same as the concoction of Secretary Gage and President McKinley's greenback retirement plan, only the former Is more Ingeniously presented and worked out In detail. The fundamental falsehood on which they are all built, la "a standard of value." There le no standard of value, never has been, and never can be. Value Is the relative difference between article of merchandise or things controlled by the fluctuations of trade. The value of the eame articles changes almost dally. Influenced by demand and supply, whether that demand be natural or artificial. Money is a medium of exchange and recorder of prices, and It Is nothing else unless its legitimate function Is abused by cornerers, usurers and speculators. The whole object of for whom the eleven con the spirators speak, is to make money scarce so they can corner it with facility. Any commodity that can be cornered can be given an artificial price. The conspirators tell us there are two kinds of money, or rather there ar two distinct functions for money. One Is the "standard of value, the ptiher a "medium of exchange;" that gold Is the only standard-of-valu- e money, and they Imply that no other commodity they acknowledge that gold is a commodity Is endowed by the Intrinsic power of constituting standard money. The exchange function they claim Inheres In all other kind of money composed of silver, paper, etc. Gold, while possessing the sovereign power of "standard" money, has also the function of exchange In common with Its subject money, as of Bourse the sovereign should have. It will be noticed that the divine tight Is at the bottom of lathe gold-bu- gand king, Vieory of money.
