regular nuisance. II my friend will agree
to settle this currency question in favor of
that kind which is most convenient, we
will Immediately harmonize on paper
money altogether, because that really COW
ers the entire range Of currency transac-
tons far more conveniently than gold
or any other known article, and Is as
much superior in point Of convenience to
gold as gold is to silver, or silver to cop
per, or copper to pig iron.
And so far as the specie redemption Of
paper currency is concerned, silver is q
better sedatiVe in case of panic, because
people can't handle it SO easily as geld,
and are not half SO apt to insist upon hav-
ing it. The well known instance of one
OF the Southern banks IN 1895, is case
in point. The officers OF the bank being
advised Of plot to present large amount
Fof its bills for redemption and break it,
procured g number of Thousand silver
dollars, and when the agent of the ring
appeared and demanded specie for his
notes, they rolled out the heavy kegs of
silver, and told him to Immediately take
them away. BE put the notes IN his peck
ct and cleared out. And specie payment
can be far better sustained on silver and
gold than On an exclusive gold basis, be-
cause the supply Of specie would be at
least twice as large, and therefore the es
sential element of confidence " al be much
stronger. PaEics would be less liable to
occur, and could be easier managed.
And then the matter Of bulk or weight,
as between gold and other metals, is Of
very little importance for the reason that
the commereisl world has settled on the
use Of paper, II only to represent specie.
In london, the chief commercial CITY, 50
per cent. Of ali financial transactions are
effected by the use Of paper without the
handling Of single coin Of any kind.
Paper has transacted nine-tenths of all
the business done in the United States for
the last 100 years, and in all probability

four seamen, Chas. Wilson, Geo. White,
Geo. Georges and Geo. Johns attempted
10 LAUGH gig without orders, and the

In lowering away the life boat, Hugh

and wisdom Of investment In the funded
debt OF the United States do not depend
on Presidential elections in the opinion
Of European investors any more than
the sounduess Of English consols depends
on whether the ministry g Tory or Lib.
era, that the ability Of the United States to
command the capital depends in the uni
yersal belief that the country isrieh, and
that the people will keep their promises
no matter what politicians may say. He
points out the fact that while the English
tonsuls have dropped 2 per cent and
Russia loan 20 per cent the United States
5 and Al per cents have not dropped less
than l per cent during the excitement
