About Money.
Kansas City Journal.

There is a tendency among a large
portion OF the human race to run TO
one idea. For example: The man
who thinks gold q good currency
wants nothing but gold. Then the
man vino wants silver remonetized
abuses gold as the author of all our
woes. And again, one kind of friend
of greenbacks thinks both gold and
silver should be demonetized, and the
greenback be Issued on general de-
mand to the satisfaction of everybody.
And when q man proposes to use all
three, each of these 0ne-idead men
jump on him and demolish him with
with-noise.
Now, as long as gold and silver are
used by the world as money, the more
We can get Of them the better for US.
The balances of the worlds business
are settled In gold-and, do as we may,
viii continue to be so. And for q vast
majority Of the human race silver lie
the money OF circulation.
But both gold and silver are rated,
not in nominal denominations. but In
quantitY--weight of pure metal in
grains. Our gold and silver coins are
not money in England, France or
Germany, and do not circulate-but
the amount of pure metal they con.
tain 10 the basis of their value In the
coins Of thOoe countries.
Paper money is the product OF civil
| izatiOn and commercial convenience
and Is preferred in business transac-
tons, because there Is no limit TO its
cOmpactness or portability. A piecC
of paper may be dollar, and another
of the same size may be q thousand
dollars. Its value depends on what Il
can be used for--and the extent o.
that use determines its value for bust.
ness purposes, as money.
Now. instead OF fighting gold OF
silver, which are good money for US
what we should do Is to oppose any
Legislation which enhances one kinC
OF money over the other, or s:deprivei
the people of any one of them-fol
Experience has shown that q mixeG

way is to fund it in interest-beariug
bonds, and the other way to accu.
muiate specie by the sale of such
bonds, until the amount of paper
out lie equalled by the amount of
specie on hand, and then, of course,
the exchange of specie for paper can
be effected IL desired. This every
BODY understands, though most
people were not able to foresee the
inevitable results upon the business
condition Of the country that have
been and must be caused by the
amount of contraction necessary to
bring the paper currency down to the
amount Of specie which the govern
ment can accumulate by 1873 to re-
deem the said paper in. And Mr..
Shermsn's speech impresses ne with
the idea that he lamentably fails to
gauge the distress that he admits
exists to some extent, bat the full
proportion and the certain aggrava-
ton OF which he blandly ignores
with the easy assurance that quack
doctor might try to soothe g patient
with by telling him that his pain
was mostly imaginary, and that all
he had to do to get we'll was to keep
on swallowing the medicine that to
the best OF the patients knowledge
and belief, caused the sickness the
doctor was pretending to cure. The
extent to which the doctors assn
RANGES would be accepted by the pa
tient would probably depend upon
whether the latter had any mind of
his own or nor, and the average pa
tient, having some confidence in his
own feelings and judgment, would
probably tell the doctor he was an
srrant humbug, and throw his med
icine out Of the window. That is
just about the state of mind which
reading OF Secretary Sherman's
financial speech will produce on
any man who is not a hard money
Iunstic. We shall refer to the Sec
retary's statements again when our
space permits. Various figures he
gives, and various statements he
makes are so palpably calculated to
deceive, and 90 contradictory of his
other financial speeches only . few
years old, that they should not be
passed by without comment.
