By the resumption act, the national
bank notes are made perpetual. Thus
the bondholder intends to draw two
interests, one interest in gold OH their
bonds, and then as the other all they
can make by loaning the bills which
they receive from Washington as a
free gift.
The men who shave notes. purchase
mortgages and government bonds say
that there is enough money in this
country--for that class of men there
is enough, but for the men who want
employment there is not enough to
keep them in employment. There is
sufficient money for the money

money lost the property these notes
represented the value of. and they
became worthless. with what dis
astrous results it is needless here to
repeat.
The Greenbacks. however, entered
the world under far better auspices;
instead of representing the value of
particular individual properties, and
therefore dependent for their worth
on the retention of those properties in
the hands Of the individual owners,
they represented the value of all com.
munal property irrespective of private
ownership; and hence it was i'm.
material how many persons lost their
property or who won it, the stability
OF the Greenbacks was not impaired.
But the Greenbaek was made to sue
cumb to the insane idea that paper
money can be good only when made
redeemable in the merchandise called
gold (the least part of the communal
property. instead of being made re-
deemable in all the communal property
gold included, of which the Green
back represented the value. Of
course the merchandise gold was not
i'll sufficient quantity to alone redeem
the Greenbacks, and hence it was
necessary the gold maniacs should
commit the only act that enabled them
to approximate the number of Green
back dollars; and that was to destroy
them. Then was repeated the same
direful phenomenon the appalled,
business community witnessed in 81

suited only from the Disappearance of
the Paper Money, the manner in which
it was made to disappear had no

gambling and dissipation, scattered
strychnine over household provisions
and in a water bucket. in the hope OF
poisoning his wife and son, killed his
daughter of twenty years with a

able brains with pistol. To
these acts are added the suicides of
two prominent San Franciscans, one a
former tax collector and the other the
