Th" name comi from one of ilutio's surnani'". Monet a, meaning the goddess of warning, he efttlsp the earliest coins Were made in one of the temples dedicated to .tulio and were sent out warning the people that they were token of value and were to be aeceptpd ns such. It Is of Interest, however, to trace the lriwms for ttting two such metal ns gold ntid sliver us money; metal which are of no practical utility whatever but nre simply of use in the arts and for ornamentation. Thc cannot be used to make Implements of war or pence; thev cannot be used in domct!e application so well as the "baser" metals; thev are "fair to look upon" nnd make the glitter ing show so dear to snvngc man From time Immetnor.ilde all men, savage and civilised alike, have adorned themselves with ornament calculated to give them a striking appearance, and as g'dd nnd stiver were metals suscep tible of high polish and not sttbjert to corrosion they are peculiarly adaptable to personal adornment. Fmm this fact they hnvo been given ft value far beyond their actunl Worth In the economy of nature. Primitive man, desiring to adorn hlm seir, looked first to the shells of the sea which were scattered along the beach, and to the teeth and claws of the wild animals which fell prey to his prowess. Glittel Ing stones and micacious ores Were attractive and such metnls as pre served ft pollh, like gold nnd sliver, came highest on the list, nut as It re quired much time and labor to ic cumulnto gold and silver their value tor ornamentation increased in proportion to the ability of the individual to ex change some useful commodity, such ns food, rnlmpnt or labor, or captives In war for them If a man Is so placed that he must live "from hand to mouth" he can spare neither of the equivalents and consequently has no gold and stiver adornment, but when ho accumulates a surplus of commodities above his actual needs he Is in iosltlon to acquire the metals -vv herewith to adorn nnd beatt tlfv his person. Hut history shows thnt it way back In the early dawn of civilization, ns brought down to us in the ancient records of the doings of man, gold and silver were used as mediums of ex change. If we go deeper Mill into the darkness of antiquity we discover the root of their use in barter and osoiiange, reminiscences of which root are to be found in folklore stories and legends of all nations. These legends, and superstitions that are now so interesting lo savants as relics of forgotten ages tc-nd, in directly converging lines, to too same point in the remote past whence comes the use of gold nnd silver ns money between commercial nations the relics of pagan worship a worship found In all parts of the world nnd among all nations and races. All primitive people use as money, or mediums of exchange, those things on which they set the bight st value. This value is Invariably based upon utility In the economy of nature nnd not on its use ns an adornment or a. luxury. It may be Interesting In this connection to consider a few eif the articles that have, been used as money, "We find three classes, articles of utility, ornament and stamped conven tional signs. India used cakis, of tea; China pieces of silk: Abyssinia, alt, le land and Newfoundland, codfish, Illinois (In early davi, coon skins; Hornoo (Africa,!, c tti.n shirts; Ancient Jtussi.i, skins ' vvilcl animals: West India Islut I il i)'H c Kiianutv: Indians, wam pum i ' ill I- YiiRlnla (ITUO), tob.uio.

Ancient Hon in t cull , Ancient tlieeoe, nails of ci'PI i ml ii hi, the lj.ice,ic monlans, itnn tb lluinian empire, lead; Ituisia (is.' t i lvli platinum; Hume (under Nudi i 1' mil Ilu-1, Wi.oil and liathii. ltnim tuiiler the Caesars'!, land; Carlhai,1 iii.m- leather; Ancient Hilton, cattle, fcl iv, s btass and iron, Knplutid (under Jane- II , tin, sun metal an 1 pewter; Soiiib He 4 ixlandH, axe and hammers; uie i. ul Jews, jewels; Indian Islands and Adlia, cuwrie sin Us, Hol land (1&7-I), stamped paste b.uird; China (4200), stamped bark of mulberiy tree. Hut It is not necessary to go bade to medieval tiroeu to find articles of necessity usedns money. In the writer's own experience, in tho winter of ldSO-si, In the Utle raining town of Itleo, c,i, the supply of halt ran low and it be came current as money In all pilimr dealings. So scarce did It become that it was weighed and exchanged, weight for weight, for gold, It might bu well to note, in passing, that If tlte scarcity of salt bu increased its value that It was equal to gold, Just so a scarcity of money will Increase the value of that money In relation to all commodities of life. It is atn ftian the above tablo that useful articles were made mediums of exchange and et we ilnd that neither god nor silver is a useful metal. They are pot more beautiful than glass nor ate the) of blighter appearance than combinations of tin and copper. The American lan-a weie ustemlshed at the value set on gold and sliver by the Spanlaula and It is tecorded that when Columbus lainleil on one of the coast Islands a sailor traded some small tool to a native for a handful of gold dust. The native was so afraid the sailor would repent of tils bargain ttia.t lie took to the wuuds and re mainid U!iWn Wttll the ships sailed ua. Now u we will trace back the Una of thought suggibted iy the above e will nnd that the use of gold anjl silver as money uimtt from Its IMW n religion. As man was pi one to a4or himself so he would iialuiull) aeloru tils gods and the temples dediiatud tu hi o4s.

The- were held as the sacred metitls and tws were passed denying the com mon peoide the right to havp w use them. Kings, priests nnd noble, who Were supposed (o hnvo origin In the sun, adorned themselves With gold and silver and for age they accumulated these sacred metals in t) elr temples un til tho amount was simply incalculable. The value of the attornments of one tempi" In Ouce was fWO.ooft.two, while the accumulation In others was equally n great, Another peculiar fact Is brought out by this Investigation nnd that is thnt a definite ratio between the two metals was established by this religious feeling and the ratio was not Changed until after the origin of the use was forgotten In the lapse of time. The sun wits sup posed to be tenfold greater than the moon and he was worshiped In this proportion. Tho values of the two metals were In the same proportion nnd the early ratio was ton to one. It s(-ems strange that our bankets nnd money changers of to-dny are perpetu ating a pagan rite or cot oniony, but no other conclusion can be reached utter Investigating the question. 'I HI!

There Ip still an element of uncertainty that governs the business situation re gardle vs of the general prospect of plentiful crops and i diBtiosltlou to push trade 1 lint has not been seen In several years past. The Uncertainty concerns prices. There Is a promise of a large surplus of wheat thnt amounts to almost a certainty, and of corn there will be such a crop ns never before was known. The almost unparalleled good condition of the cattle ranges, together with the assurance of cheap grain for feeding, is a guarantee of large meat products. Hut wo do not see the demand for these things which should be in sight now In order to insures really good times. The demand may come nil right in Its time, thouKh the IndlcjitlonB to warrant It are lacking. It Is tills lack that is the only friction felt now by the wheels of industry. The farmer who was deceived into voting for Democratic reform should lake note of the fact that notwithstanding the low price of breadstuffs the export trndq I even smaller than one year ago, nnd then revert In his mind to the promise made that Democratic freo trade, or "tariff reform," would open up to him the "markets of the world" and his products would be in active and profit able demand In esvory country on tho globe. He has seen tho Imports of foreign manufacturer Increase In large propor tion, and It Is from that source that much of the "business revivnl" In East ern trade circles, comes. These imports nie manufactures which formerly gave to American wage earners the where with to buy bread. To the extent which they nre now brought from abroad tho put chasing power of the Ameiiyan con sumer is curtailed. The farmer thus may be able to see that he has lost foreign demand for his pneluus, and at the same time has killed, enough of tho home demand to make the futuie very doubtful. Tho West is in a condition to materially Im prove because with large t rops It would be Impossible that things should remain longer as bad as they have been, but better pi iocs would remove all doubts and fe-ars. A IrleATTKIUNO rWMI'WSIKST. It is something new to hear that ex perts have eome to Kansas City to learn something of the manner In which tho business affairs of the city are artmln Isteiid. During the legimo of tho gang no sue h people ctimo near us, unless some of t!

Hut these visitors did not leglste r, and it wns not until the gang had been thtovvn out and a elenn, business-like and capable set of iitllitals had been turned in that the economy and efllelency of the admin istration attracted the attention of the people of either cities This is not siDinir that all the mem beis of outgoing administrations were Itu apable. Hut the feegiabblng scandals and other official deielletlon nru too riH.cn t and notorious not to bu remem bered, it is unfortunate that the honest must suffer with the corrupt and that the rain of public wrath should fall upon the just as well as the unjust. Hut the uncontistid fact remains that the election of the Hopubllean ticket In the city has given the people an abler, a, ehNtner. a more economical and alto gether respectable and efficient admin istration than U has had foj years. It is proper that Republican methods ,.f doing business should he1 studied and piopoguted.
