SECRETARY Sherman's great speech
on the currency question at Toledo,
Ohio, has national repute, and will
go far toward waking up all wild
dreamers who are not sleeping the
sleep of death on this question. On
the silver and gold standard he is in
favor of both metals circulating at
par, either by limiting the amount of
silver to be issued, or re.adjusting
the relative weight Of the two coins
by increasing the weight of the sill
yer coin or lowering the weight of
the gold coin; and declares in some
such way this question must be
solved or we will have to adopt
single standard of silver, like the
Chinese and other Asiatic nations
have done. On the paper currency
he says:
sour paper currency is now hap
PLY brought to very near par with
coin. Will you insist on keeping it
at par, or will you, by repeating the
resumption act, retrace the steps al,
ready taken and embark again upon
the sea of irredeemable paper cur
rency? Shall our paper money here
after be redeemable in coin upon the
demand of the holder and be main
tained at par with coin, or shall it be
what its friends ca a "6at" money,
irredeemable in com, depending up.
on the trademarks of bankers and
brokers for its value, and upon the
changing majorities in Congress for
its amount and quality? | can i'm
agine how a man deeply involved in
debt and hoping to escape bankrupt
cy may desire to cheaper the money
in which his debt is to be paid, but
why should a man, whose daily toll
is measured by tire money he receiv
es, desire to cheaper that money?
Why should farmer who sells his
productions for money desire to les
sen its purchasing power?
