Senator Howe Of Wisconsin

Editor inti-Monopolist
The late speech of Senator Howe
OF Madison. does not perhaps need

do, may be excused, just now. for no.
tlclng the war in Wisconsin.
The Senator has surprised me great.
~. | had much admired his manly

AS Il late citizen of Wisconsin. I say.

were not the perverting power of
party servitude we'll known, l should
doubt the honesty of the man.
"Where is the man who has bonds
would change them into greenbacks!"
If an idiot had said that [ should
have no right to be surprised. Is it
not we'll known in your section of the
country, that the government of the
United States can by undoing it's
fraudulent legislation, and returning
to the original contracts, arrest the in.
terest on all bonds whose time has ex-
plred. and that it can also declare
them taxable property, at the same
time! Would, Mr.. Howe, decline the
exchange in such a easel
Twenty years ago." he says, "we
mad money enough; no one complain
ed of want of money then"
If this needs notice, we saw. grst.
that there may not have been money
enough, and it is very doubtful if
there were. The relation of money
TO business was not Il subject of study
anu education then; therefore, per-
maps, for this reason simply, people
dld not complain. But, secondly. does
not the Senator know well enough.
That the population of the country has
increased during this period of TWEEN
~ years, from twenty-five or thirty
millions, to torty-seren millions. and
that the ratio of population demands
twice the volume of currency on that |
basis alone. Thirdly. is he ignorant |
too OF another fact: that all industries
nave been distributed under the econ.
omy of division of labor, and that
every such division. calls for a propor-
tIonate Increase Of exchange and of
money to effect it. On this basis mul.

the tact OF division and distribution

has been the inventive power at work
facilitating improvements, production
and manufacturing of every kind and
much that is new. This increase is
also large factor in the volume of
money necessary to the prompt move
ment of exchange.
The $4,000, 200, 900 of currency mov-
ing in 1866 was an increase quite well
