The Dollar Of our Fathers.

In lie reign Of William III silver
coin was practically demonetized, being
60 debased and degraded by clipping
and tightening as TO be Of only nomi.
nal value and worthless for the uses Of
business and commerce, 10 the same
extent as our silver coinage at present.
All values were unsettled, panlcs and
bankruptcies multiplied, business was
paralyzed, and McCauley thus graph.
Cally pictures the condition Of the
country: at may well be doubted
whether ell the misery inflicted on the
English nation in a quarter Of a CEN
tury by bad Kings, bad Parliaments
and bad Ministers, was equal TO that
inflicted in a single year by the un.
supportable curse Of this debasement
of silver coin, which had been the
andard Of values for the realm"
Under these circumstances Parlia.
ment appointed commission, consist
ing of Sir Isaac Newton and John
Locke, to investigate the matter, and in
accordance with their recommends.
ton an Act was passed restoring sil.
yer to its standard value and power as
money. Under the operation of this
Act, silver poured into circulation,
gold began to fall, business revived,
confidence was restored and the king.
dom was once more prosperous. In
recalling this bit Of history, we do
not intend to spply It to our
present financial condition, 60

cdly be a step in the right direction.
England reaped the benefit Of the Act
at once, because there was no other use
for gold aud silver but as a medium Of
exchange between her citizens. But
this country having public debt, car.
rying with it an obligation Of gold
interest, is therefore, a large consumer
OF gold, and without reference to the
confidence which its citizens may have
in any substitute (paper or silver as
circulating medium, the special lie.
mand for gold 10 meet interest will al
ways give it value above the substi.
tute. The reconciliation OF silver,
therefore would not remedy the
evils from which we suffer, unless the
bondholders would relinquish the ad-
vantages Of their investment in bonds,
and consent to their being placed on s
footing OF equality with other invest
ments in the material wealth of the
country; or, unless $ system is adopted
which will permit the people to use the
credit Of the Government without ex-
actions and useless restrictions. AS to
the fret, there is no hope from the
bondholders, and as for the second,
the people must demand it of Congress.
The ShermanizIng process Of contrac.
ton, which is denuding the market OF
both gold and its substitute, in the in.

put stop to, and the law Of cause and
