That is interesting and of a little study. deserving Now gold is the standard of commercial exchange. We carry As far iason business on the understanding that that is the case. we know the United 'States Government some time in the somewhat remote past s'aid “The gold dollar is not to be all gold. Only 22.23 per cent, of the dollar coin is to be pure gold. The rest of that coin is to be alloy of some sort or another.” Lately the United States Government, over night, said “The gold content of the dollar is to be 4'0 iper cent, less than 22.23 per cent, pure gold.” Moreover the United ’States Government said, “You people who have gold are to pay all that gold into our treasury. If you fail to do so, we’ll punish you. By our law you have no right to have gold coins in your possession.” Let’s hlave another look, for the United States Government had something more to say. It said to. plain John Brown “You have $100- in gold coins. We’ll take 40 per cent, of that sum. You’ll then have $60.00 left in real gold value, but we’ll call that $100 and so may you.” But their talking did not end there. Plain Bill White had borrowed $100 from John Brown at a time preceding the time the United iStates Government changed the content of the gold dollar. Bill now says to John, “I’m ready to pay you. I had $10o slaved up in gold coins as I agreed to pay you in that way. Here is the gold1 content of 60 of those dollars. You see the Government has made me a present—at your expense, of course. Of course I pay you 100 nominal dollars. The real value of those dollars, by the act of the United States government has shrunk 40 per cent., to my advantage and your loss1.’’ Meanwhile a whole lot of us stand to one side and wonder how this sort of thing is going to turn out. Inflation ie the work of gas land wind. It is a peculiar thing. In the case of money inflation, wise men are not deceived. When folk come to their sober senses, they'll have many a laugh at the monkeyshines of governments in these queer days. Standards of exchange are not made any more than gravitation is made. Gold, not alloy and not acts of congress or of parliaments is the standard of commercial exchange. MISS MARGARET J.
