Monetary Reform.

Monetary Reform.
Generally we Judge that to be the
cause of a calamity which is invari-
ably accompanied with or followed
by the misfortune, although we may
not be able to perceive clearly the
connection between causation and
consequence. Now, why should we
not apply the same rule precisely
when discussing the question of
money? Experience uniformly teach
es that the mourning Of debt, to any
extent beyond the ability to pay,
must result unfortunately for either
the debtor, the creditor, or those to
whom the creditor may be indebted.
That somebody must suffer. This
is not only a lesson of experience,
but it is an memorable law of cause
and effect
Now, all currency which is not
itself money, and which promises
payment Of money for its redemp-
ton, is but an evidence of indebted
ness; and, if the volume of such
currency exceeds the amount of mon
ey which the debtor can command
wherewith to redeem it, the inevita-
BILE consequence is depreciation of
the currency in value: and conse-
quent luss and disaster to the CON-
munity which holds such deprecated
evidences OF debt. 1t makes no diff
ference either whether the debtors in
this case be individuals, incorporat-
ed banking companies, or govern
ments. The same rule applies to
all.
AS these facts will hardly be de-
MED, let us accept them as founda-
tons for brief argument on the
currency system. Those who advo-
cate the use of bank-notes for cur
rency, and these include all that class
which delights in the appellation of
"hard money men" insist upon it
that the currency shall be redeema-
bic on demand in specie in gold
or silver coin. For the banks to is
sue such currency only to the ex-
tent of their ability to redeem it,
would be for them to restrict it's
quantity to the quantity of coin &C.
tually within their vaults, and they
might as well, as far as profit is con-
cerned, issue the coin itself. But
suppose they are limited in their is
sues to the amount of coin on hand
Plus the amount Of property con-
vertible into coin. This would
seem to be safe, although the ap-
pearance is deception, because
such property might not be saleable
at the time the coin was demanded.
Rnt to cOnfne them within this linn
it would render banking poor bus
mess, because the necessity of pro
viding for their currency would in
terfere with their ability to make
loans.
The customary plan is to permit
the banks to issue currency to the
extent of from three to ten times the
amount of coin they have on hand
or can reasonably expect to obtain,
and bear in mind that the excuse
which the hard money men plead for
this license is: that there is not coin,
enough tn existence to satisfy the
demands Of trade! Here then, we
have men, assuming to be the ex-
ponents Par excellence Of sound fl.
nancial policy, urging a currency
system avowedly founded upon the
creation of debts far beyond the
