STICK TO THE FACTS.

The greenbackers are in the habit Of
asserting very loudly that the amount
OF currency is circulation during "war
times" was something like 81, 200, 900, :
600, msking the per capita circulation
about fifty dollars. They make those
assertions AS facts, aud thsn go 10
demonstrate that the pauic of 1878 and
the subsequent "hard times" were
caused by the tremendous contraction
Of the currency.
Many honest men are staggered by
tie statements, aud being unable to
disproye the allegations as to the am
cunt OF currency in circulation in "war
times, cannot meet the deductions Of
the greenbackers from their asserted
facts" The fact is that the assertion
to the circulation being 1900 million in
any year since 1860, is just as untrue
as il would be to say that the circula-
ton to-day is 1900 millions.
The way the greenbackers count up
1000 millions Of currency in "war
times, is to add the aggregate OF the
the paper money then in circulation,
the amount OF the temporary loan cer-
tihcates; the 5 per cent. legal tenders
or one an two year notes of 1868 aud
the compound interest notes. Now as
to these varied forms OF Indebtedness
the temporary certificates were not leg
al tender, the five per cent we're legal
tender To a certain amount; the com
pound interest notes were legal tender
for their face value, excluding interest; +;
and the 7.30 notes were not legal ten
der, and the lowest denomination was
fifty dollars. All these different obi
cations were interest bearing, and that
fact alone was sufficient to keep them
out Of circulation along side OF non
interest bearing, irredeemable paper
money notes. Some Of them, no doubt,
did perform some OF the functions of
currency, just as 4, 4. or 5 per cent.
bonds do to-day.
II is safe to say that not one green
backer in thousand ever saw in circu-
lation one of the different forms OF
government obligations referred 10,
and which are included in greenback
estimates of the paper circulation in
war times.
Greenbackers, in estimating the pa
per money circulation OF to-day, care
fully omit all the interest bearing obli-
cations not outstanding, but If this
class of obligations cannot fairly be
counted "a part of the present paper
circulation, why should they not also
be omitted in estimating the paper cir
culation OF 1864?
The facts are that the largest paper
money circulation was attained IN 1874,
the year after the panic, when IL am
ounted to s777, ,53s. 900 which gave a
per capita circulation of SlS.l4. The
largest per capita circulation of money
in this country since 1911, was reached
in 1866, when il amounted 10 Sl9.95.
People who believe in honest money
and oppose all plaus looking in the ex.
pansive aud ultimate reputation OF
the irredesmable paper money OF the
government should not allow them
selves to be influenced 10y the mere as
sertions OF windy demagogues. who
either are ignorant OF what they are

History seldom repeats itself more

written about l75 years ago. IL then
fitted the South Sea bubble" that
brilliant but fearful ruinious imitation
scheme, at which the world has laugh
ed ever since, although il caused that
generation to weep bitterly. The bal
lad now admirably applies TO the inha-
tion scheme Of creating riches by means
of paper-mills and printing presses, run
under government command, with no
actual value excepting what is impart-
ed 10y laws that may at any time be re-
pealed The only words changed in
Deans Swift's caustic and truthful verse
are the italicized ones. The greenback

cy Of uncertain and fuctuating worth,
not the redeemable promises TO pay,
limited in quantity, which can now be
changed for coin at par. PIsDAR.
