CEN. wAsiiNGToN AGAINST PAPER


Let the advocates Of paper money read the fol-
lowing sentiments Of Gen. Washington, eEpTsss-
ed in letter to a friend VINO solicited his ad-
vice touching the Incorporation Of bank and the
emission Of paper money. Gen. Washington
eohtended ''that il is by the s5soce Tor specie,
not with the atad0U (or paper money! Of thing
we are TO be bene6t,ed;' and 50 does every de-
mocrat contend.-StGrE Co. Dem.
Fom Starks' Life of Washington.
wAsHINGToN's OPINION OF PAPER
MONEY.
Noun: Vernon, February l6, 1856.
To Thomas Stone,
Member ofG.s Senate Of Maryland.
Dear Sea: Your favor of the 3Oth utimo came
dolly to hand. To give an opinion in a cause Of
so much importance as that, which was warmly
agitated in the two branches of your Legislature,
and which, from the appeal thar is made, is like
ly to create great and perhaps dangerous diyis-
ions, is rather deic ste matter: but as this di-
yersity of opinion is on a subject which has, be-
leyc, occupied tue minds OF most men, and as
my seG:imsnis thereon have been fully and deci-
dedly expressed long before the assembly either
of Maryland or this State was convened, 10 not
scruple 10 declare that, If had voice in your
Legislature, itwould have been given decidedly
against paper emission upon ths general prinei.
pies Of its utility.
To assign reasons for this opinion would be as
unnecessary as tedious. The ground has been SO
often trod that place hardly remains untouch-
ed. In aword, the necessity arising from a want
of specie is represented create tan il really is
contend that il IS by the su5sf&nce, not with
the shadow Of thing, we are to be bessHt.Rd -
The wisdom fman, in my humble opinion, can
not az this time devise plan by which the credit
of paper money would be long supported consc-
quently depreciat on keeps pace with tue quanti-
y of the emission, and articles for which it is ex-
changed, rise in a greater ratio than the sinking
value OF tine money. Wherein, then, is the far
mer, the planter, the arTtizan benegtted! The
debtor may be, because, as have observed, he
gives the shadow in lieu Of the substance and,
in proportion to this gain, the creditor Of the body
polite suffers. Whether it be legal tender or
not, it will, has been observed very truly, leave
no alternative. 1t must be that or nothing. An
evil equally great is, the door it Immediately
opsns IOr spesulatiOns, BY which the least design
ing, and perhaps the most valuable part Of COM
munity are preyed upon by themore knowing and
crafty spectators.
But contrary to my intention and declaration,
am offering reasons in support of my opinion:
reasons, too, which of ali Others are least pleas
ing to the advocates of papsr money. shall
therefore only observe generally, that so many
people have suIared by former emissions, that,
like a burnt child who breads the FIRE, no person
will touch it who can possibly avoid it. The ma
tural consequence of which viii be, that the spe-
Gle which remains unsupported will be Instantly
locked up.
With great esteem and regard,
of. l am, dear sir, yours,
GEO. WASHINGTON.

PAPER CURRENCY OF AUSTRIA

PAPER CURRENCY OF AUSTRIA.
We gave not long since the history Of
the Chinese experiments in paper cur
rency, from the Boston Courier. We
now bring in review the essays of Euro
pean governments in this sort of aIche-
my, that our readers may see that the ca
tastrophes which have again and again
afflicted this country must be inevitable,
so long as the hope is indulged of making
paper substitute for money. So long as
it is the actual representative of money
it may do, but whenever, the attempt is
made to substitute shadow for sub
stance, ii must be baffled until the philos-
opher's stone is discovered.
The Bank of Vienna was established
by the Empress Marie Theresa, during
the seven years. war in 1865. It
then issued l2,000,O00 of forms, and
the Empress wishing to o,confrm the cred
it of the bank, required that a part of
the public tGres should be paid in this
bank paper. The people being thus
compelled to buy this paper, value was
at once given to it greater than that Of
specie. 1t became forced paper.
The Empress pro6ting Of this emission
Of 100000 of forms, which cost her
nothing, went on to pay her debts with it,
which she had contracted.
From this time additional emissions oil
bank paper were made at different peri.
ods; and at each emission, correspond
ing sums of specie were withdrawn from
circulation. During the late wars with
France, extraordinary resources were re-
quired, and the sovereign continued to
issue bank paper, until specie entirely
disappeared.
1t thus became impossible for the bank
to redeem its paper. In 1871 "a suspen
sion of specie payments was authorized
and bank notes were required to be re
ceived as current money.
The multiplication Of this paper be
yOnd the wants Of circulation, and beyond
the amount Of specie formerly in circula
ton, necessarily produced its deprecia
ton. In 1910, so enormous had becom
this depreciation, that one form in spsci
was equal to tDelue Or thirteen in paper
Austria has, consequently, suffered 4
| the evils which must arise from such
Estate of the currency. After having il
sued 1000, 100000 Of forms in pape
the government finally determined,
1911, not TO issue any more, and tkl
fred the paper fOriR at one.f7h Of
aOmisGI oGIUe.

That great measure Of delverance from
existing evils, and Of safety and prosper

corporations, and the absolute discontin-
uance Of the use thereof for the benefit
Of bank stockholders, recommended by
you to Congress, will signalize your ad-
ministration as one Of the most wise aud
benefcient with which our country has
been blessed.
Your faithful and undaunted adherence
TO the compromises upon which our Fed
6ral Union is based, and your unWavering
determination to uphold, at every hazard
of personal popularity, the constitutional
rights of the States, and the invioblity of
their domestic institutions from the as.
saults Of fanaticol and ruthless factions
entitle you to the confidence and ardeht
support of every disintsreSted patriot thd
friend Of our happy form Of Government.
The Democratic citizens of Kentucky
whom we represent will be extremely
gratifed if it shall suit your engagements
and convenience to accept their invitation,

GOOD.

A young Democrat from Maine accor-
ding 10 the Boston Post, who worked for
British Wing in Boston, was discharged
with gentle hint that he could not be
employed unless be changed his politics.
The reply was, "TIen I wW dig ground
nuts for hUing until after the election. -
Would all working men exercise the same
spirit, British Wing employers would soon
learn on which side the dependence is,
and their career of impudence would be
checked,

WARRINGTON. July 4. 1910.

GENTLEMEN: | have had the honor to
receive the invitation which you have
been pleased to give me in behalf of the
Democratic citizens of the counties of
Fayettc, Woodford, and Scott, TO be pre-
sent as guest at a public meeting and
entertainment to be held by them at the
White Sulphur Springs in Scott county,
Kentucky, on the llth inst.
Truly grateful for this mark of their
respect and kindness: l cannot but regret
that my public dutiesSFill not permit me
to express my grltelulness face to face.
That | have been so fortunate as to Sc
cure ''the entire appreciation Of the De-
mocracy Of Kentucky;" that they look
upon me as "true to the Constitution of
the United States," "the representative
and advocate Of their principles ID
the Executive department" of our Gov
ernment, cannot but afford me peculiar
satisfaction, coming, as it does, from a
highly respectable portion of the ancient
and time-honored patriots of that noble
State, and from the sons of those who, in
their day, we're the pillars Of the Repqb-
lie. History, gentlemen, must be false
to her duty when she ceases 10 inform
mankind, that it was by Kentucky that the
FIRST eifectual blow was struck at the dan.
gerous principles introduced into the ad
ministration of our Government soonat
ter the adoption Of the Constitution
principles which had already led to act
Of fearful usurpation, and threatenei
speedily to destroy as well the rights d
the States as the libetties Of the people
1t was the Kentucky resolutions, backed
BY those Of her patriotic parent State
which changed the current ofpublic opin
ion and brought back the administrator
of Government to The principles ofth'
Revolution. For forty years the Demo
cracy Of the Uni have looked upol
those resolution as the creed Of lhel
