The Beauties of Hard Money illustrated

The Beauties of Hard Money illustrated.
The provisions Of the act known as the
silver bill provide that bonds bearing five
per cent interest shall be sold, and the pro-
Deeds applied to the purchase of silver IN
til forty millions of dollars have been so
purchased and coined into silver quarters,
half dollars, etc. All this for the privilege
of taking up our very convenient fractional
currency aud substituting therefor an in
convenient silver coin so heavy that an
amount equal to the paper currency which
can be easily slowed away in a small
pooket-book would weigh a pound.
The result may be briefly stated as fol-
lows: Each year we shall pay for the ines
tlmaD!e privilege of carrying around this
metallic currency the sum Of 81, O0O,O OO At
the end OF twenty years we shall have paid
$59,"5,OOO in interest on our fractional cur
renoy, and in that time the principal and
interest will have amounted to nearly
$l0O OOO,00 All this for the privilege Of
coming 10000, 900 of inconvenient dollars.
which will not circulate, instead of using
paper currency which costs nothing for in.
terest, and which an experience Of fifteen
years has demonstrated to be universally
acceptable.
Besides the loss for interest, the wear
OF silver coin is known to amount to one.
half OF one per cent per annum: so that in
twenty years the actual loss to the tax
payer will amount to more than S., OOO, 900.
This is the act of the Democratic House
which has promised to retrench the ex-
penses of the government, acting under the
of Belmont g. Co. A foolish
act, prompted partly by interested motives
and partly by ignorance.
Will any advocate of hard money, can
any advocate of hard money give any salts.

Democratic Congress! If it can not be ex-
planned, then let the act be repealed imme-
