A Talk about the Volume Of the
Precious Metals.

All the precious metals in the world
that can be spared from the arts
should be utilized as money. All the
gold and silver money in existence
could be stored in building 800 feet
square, and it is not too much to effect
the exchanges Of civilized man. His
tory shows that the periods of the
worlds highest prosperity have been
precisely those in which the volume
of gold and silver money was the
greatest; and that every reduction in
tho volume of money has been follow
ed by an increase of misery. When
the Roman Empire was at the sum-
init of its glory, and its citizens enjoy
ed maximum of comfort and hap
piness, it is estimated by the best au-
thorities that it possessed OF less than
81 800, 100000 of gold and silver. But
the sources of the precious metals be-
gan to fail and prosperity began 81
multaneously and rapidly to decline.
During the first and second centuries
of the Christian era $2OO,OOO,OOO was
lost. In the year 400 there was only
about 81, ,lO0,000,0C0 left. BY 500 it
had sunk to $S00,OOO,OO0; by 700 to
s600,0G0,0O0; by 500 to 100000, 600;
and by the year 1900 it was believed
that the total money-wealth of the
Roman Empire was not more than
$3.50 900, ,000-only one-tenth of what
it had been / 200 years before! The
European world, meantime, had gone
from bright light to thick darkness
from happiness to wretchedness-
from Intelligence to degradation and
deep barbarism. When Rome pos
sessed 81 800, 100000, each Emperor,
on dying left from 80 to 500 to every
citizen of the Empire; when the
amount was reduced to $l5O,OOO,OOO,
the utmost poverty prevailed; a COW
could be bought for 81 and sheep
for sixpence, and human beings be-
came SO cheap that they were scarce
ly considered worth holding even as
slaves, but were transformed into live
money,-currency,-a man or woman
passing from hand to hand as a rep
resentative of SO! These were 'The
Dark Ages" and now occurred the
horrors of history. Not one in 1O,-
600 could read or write. Europe was
stepped in crime. Suddenly Spain
discovered Central America, with its
gold and silver mines, and the Dark
Ages were al an end. The amount
Of precious metals quadrupled in q
century. Learning sprang up again,
and something like comfort was once
more attainable. Spain became mis-
tress of the world-because she was
the worlds silver miner. Crime di-
minished moral responsibility was
re-established; science reared its
timid head; the Inquisition was abol-
ished; the Reformation taught man
to inquire; leisure gave him oppor-
tunity to study, and necessity stimu-
lated him to invent. There cannot be
too much real money. Who SO d.
minishes 1t, by demonetizing or dis
using either Of the precious metals in
any country is the enemy of human
comfort, and deserves the execration
of the race.

ARrlFlclAL MONEY.

The following, from the Missouri
Republican, a leading democratic or
gan of the west and south, has the
ring of honesty and sense:
Gen. Ewing's money scheme is SO
wild and vague that a special author
ization Of it in the constitution would
be necessary, and he has offered a con-
stitutional amendment for this pur:
pose. This provides that Congress
shall issue United States notes to an
indefinite amount, which shall be le-
gal tender for all debts except such
as are now payable in coin. The first
issue is at the discretion of Congress !;
it may be five, six, eight or ten hum
dred millions to begin with. Every
year thereafter, an additional amount
is to be issued, equal to the annual
average increase of the population.
Taking this average annual rate Of
increase to be per cent, and assum-
ing that the first issue of notes would
DC $S0O,0O0,OOO, there would be 2 per
cent. or $4,000, 900 added the second
year, like amount added the third
year, and so on, without any limit.
1t would be like compounding $780,
100000 at 2 per cent. interest. All
greenbacks and bank notes now out
standing are to be Withdrawn and
replaced by the new notes, which are
to differ from the present greenbacks
in not being redeemable. The green
backs are promises to pay dollars.
The new notes would not be prom
ises; they would be marked "one
dollar" ''five dollars" or "ten dol
lars" according to the denominations
They would be what is called "abso.
lutte money" that is, money without
any value except what is arbitrarily
impaired to them by tho sovereign
power.
The delusion which Mr.. Ewing and
those who think with him labor un-
der is that irredeemable cheap paper
money will be easier to get than real
money, gold and silver, or notes re-
deemable in gold and silver, and that
it will stimulate industry, increase
the comforts of the laboring man, and
multiply wealth. But it is certain
this artificial money would do no
good thing that real money would
not do. 1t might stimulate specula-
ton, that is, the buying Of articles
that are not needed for the purpose
of selling them at higher price but
this is not an advantage to the coun-
try; it is disadvantage. 1t encour-
ages extravaganza and running in
debt, the very evils which are the
chief causes of the poverty, idleness,
and suffering that afilict the country
now.
It is not probable that Congress
will adopt General Ewing's absurd
scheme. With all the gold and silver
our mines are yielding, $50, ZOO, 900 a
year, we do not need to resort to ir-
redecmable cheap paper.
