Mr.. Schurz exposed the fallacies OF the
I" fiat 9-moncy advocates. He said:
There is nothing more ridiculous than to
hear these tiat-m0ney doctors pretend to
have made great original discovery, and
to parade 1t before US as the most progress
siye idea Of the age. Why, 1t is story a
thousand years old. They bad such money
in China in the ninth century OF this era.
They had it in Persia toward the close Of
the thirteenth century. They had it in the
American colonies in the seventeenth CEN
fury in the shape Of bead and clam-shell
currency. T hey had it in France at the be-
ginning Of the eighteenth century, under
the management of the great progressive
Scotch financier, John Law. They had
it in France during the great Revolu-
ton, in the shape OF the assignats. They
had it in this country again during the war
OF independence in the shape OF the Cont
mental money-alWays, in all essential fea-
lures, virtually the samoa naper-money
based in some indefinite way upon an in
definite something's; in some cases without
it. When it became apparent that the grand
indefinite something" upon which the
paper-money was based, be it the power OF
The Emperor Of China or the wealth Of the
country, practically amounted to nothing
as mortgage security and resulted uni
formly in the breakdown Of the poor people.
The laboring classes suffered the greatest
distress, and in every issue after the great
collapse people came painfully to the old con-
cIusion again-that. after all, the precious
metals were the only safe basis of money
system.

their object the disruption OF the C0nserva-
tive party and the defeat Of its regular
nominees.
have heretofore in my speeches charac-
terized such assertions as they deserved,
but since. through their appearance in your
paper, they have found general circulation
] feel called on to state
1. That I have never attended any politi-
cal conference or meeting such as the arti-
Gle in question alludes to.
2. That ! have never, by word Or deed,
interfered or sought TO interfere with the
congressional nominations in any district in
Virginia.
8. That have always been, and am now,
an extreme believer IN maintaining the dis
cipline and unity OF the Conservatives Demo-
cratic party. IS
4. That I have had, and have, no connee-
ton orsympathy with any movement look
ing to the defeat OF any Conservative or
Democratic nominee for Congress.
And al charges to lhecontrary are totally
and maEciously false. Respectfully,
