We must invite intention to tho very
graphic description, quoted by Mr.. DExsEow,
Of tho echomo rcsorted to in 1871, to bring
paper moncy-legal.tondcr-upt to par. This
WAS to redeem the deprecated paper as Its
current value in coin, md 10 advance tho
ratio of redemption progressively until tho
paper was equal 10 par. This is substantial
ly Mr.. DESsIow's own plan, bnt The attempt
to execute II dlsassrously failed. Just 70
soon rs tho Government ceased to redeem
Tic currency, 1t fell bncis to its low value M
irredecnablo phpcr. Tho lsilssinns redeemed
in coin, whito Dir. DEssLow proposes to re-
deem, iii paper. Tint is, TO take up noto
! with 81 cents in coin with now noto for
81 cents, Tho latter being rcdccmab'e Oh tlo-
na.sd in specie, md to 10 reissued, hut how
is not explained.
THO statement TINT no Government hns
orer been able to maintain n no1,.interest-
bearing paper currency ut par is sustained f,y
tho whole history Of Russian finances; TINT
Government Mt last having been compelled to
call In NIL iia papnr money, and 10 delegate
to tho banks thc authority to issue bank
notes, in mid of which tho Government lent
its credit; and even this device has not been
cqual to place those notes ut par, because tho
Government has borrowed too much from tho
banks. The entire citations Of Alr. DEssLow
confirm the universal experience that Gov
ernments cannot keep a paper currency in
circulation ns par. If it redeem it in coin,
thero is DO way in which the currency can bo
20. ont agaiu except in payment Of expenses,
md this atlds to tho debt. And If It be not
redeemnblo in coin, it is necessarily at dis~
count. 1lr. DIS assertions nil llang on tho
construction he places on aparagraph from
French newspaper III 1854. But that flimsy
authority docs not pretend to Affirm that
Tho Russian Government began to redeem its
notes In 1910, and kept 1t up until 1853.
There is no hint or intimntion as to how
,nany notes were redeemed in each or any
year, or whero tho silver was procured for
| that purpose, and tho whole assumption
must 10 set down rs apocryrAal. Tho
only thing that seems clear from tic authors
ties lie cites is the attempt made III 1856. By
tho Russian Government to do what ho snys
our Government can easily do, viz. to ele-
vate her legal-tenter to par with coin, which,
proved 80 lamentable failure TINT the RUS
sim Government Ias never vcntured to re-
pcat tho absurd anl costly experiment. Tho
facs is, it is only tho private capital Of a
| country which can Issue notes, redeem tlem
in coin, mud keep them in circulation.

Congress found the Government in

10 per cent was clapped upon the consuming
public, which reduced their ability to buy
