You have been accustomed to deal
with such big sums that you do not rea-
lize, perhaps, what it is to save to this
Govern nment $26 900 900 or $27 70000 600 a
year. But let me tell you If such sum
Is bepeath your notice, you will never
get from under the harrow of oppression
by taxation, from which you have 30 long
suffered.
THE OBJECTIONS TO A GREENBAcK CURRENCY
ANSWERED,
Now, my friends, / have given you
these reasons why think 1t would be
wise to substitute greenbacks for nation
al bank notes. And now | proceed to an
swer come of the objections made to the
substitution Of greenbacks for National
bank notes. | shall do 30 as briefly as |
can, for fear may speak longer than |
ought to do, in Justice to the gentleman
who is to follow me, and | shall endea-
vor to speak as plainly as l can, that l
may be understood we'll.
/ INITIATION OF THE CURRENCY.
The first objection, and that which l
think is entitled to the most weight, and
do not deny that it is entitled to be
considered-is that If greenbacks consti-
tute our paper currency, the volume OF
currency will depend upon the will and
Judgment of Congress, and not upon the
laws of trade; and that it will therefore
be subject to such violent changes In the
amount as to be inflated one year and
contracted the next, but mainly to be In
hated SO as to be destructive OF the pros
perity and business of the country
Now, gentlemen, the first answer |
have to make to this objection is, that
Congress will have precisely the same
power to initiate the currency or to con-
tract it if our circulation were all Nation.
al bank notes, as it would if it were all
greenbacks, for it would be perfectly
easy for Congress to initiate the currency
or contract it-that is, it has the po10er to
do it. For instance, suppose Congress
were to repeal the tax on State bank
notes, what would be the consequence :
WHY, number of State institutions
would spring up, and would produce a
great imitation of the currency.
Ga the other hand, suppose that Con-
gress should adopt the policy of the Re.
publican fnanciers, and withdraw all
greenbacks, there would be an immense
contraction and frilhtful distress. So
you see Congress has the power to con-
tract the currency or to initiate it that
is, if it had neither sense nor honesty it
can ruin the country for the time being,
But, gentlemen, to suppose Congress has
neither sense nor honesty and wo'd doso,
is to condemn our form of government ?
Suppose Congress were so senseless and
dishonest, it would soon be said that
Congress ought not to exist, and that we
should resort to some other form Of gov
ernment? l think that there is more
fear upon this subject than the facts

Which they enjoy, and that no other ins.
titutions or no individuals enjoy special
privilege that puts annually millions of
dollars into the pockets oftheir sharehol-
ders and takes millions of dollars out of
the pockets of the people. Let me ex.
plain this: The National bank circuls-
tion is in round numbers 1922 900, 900. 1t
is safe to say that $500 100000 of 1t is
loaned at an average rate Of not less than
seven per cent. interest per annum. That
makes $21 100000 that those banks re-
ceive every year for the use Of their pa
per as a circulating medium.
A RUsE THAT DON'T WORK BOTH WAYS.
Now, my friends, observe how this re-
verses the order of things. The general
rule is that q man must pay interest upon

Now let me call your attention to the
saving that takes place by the use of the
greenback. Every greenback out repre-
sents value the Government has re-
Ceived. That greenback has paid for SER
vices rendered to the country, or goods,
wares or merchandise furnished to the
Government, or help discharge the in
terest. bearing public debt, and so the
Government has received value for ev-
cry dollar of greenbaCks. The conse-
quence of this is that the Government
makes a saving, or the people, which is
the same thing, equal to the amount of
interest upon this greenbaCk circulation,
because if the Government had not issu-
ed the greenback it would have had to
borrow money with which to meet its ex-
penditures, and if it had borrowed mon
ey it would have had to pay interest on
that, or if it did not borrow, it would
have raised it by taxation, and the peo.
pie would have lost the interest on the
money thus taken from them. So you
see, when you study it, that the Govern.
ment saves interest upon the volume OF
greenbaCks that is out. Every year ii
saves that much interest. Now, at the
lowest rate of interest at which the Gov
ernment can borrow money-four per
cent..-on the $346, ,68l, ,016 Of greenbacks,
you find the Government saves nearly
| $l4000,000 a year. But suppose the
Government were to substitute green
backs for the 1922, 100000 of National
bank notes, then we would save interest
on that which would make nearly $13,-
100000 more, making bet $26, ,000,-
600 and 100000 every year by the
use Of greenbacks-enough money, as !
said, TO carry on the Government as it
used to be carried on in the time Of John
Quincy Adams and old Andrew Jack
son.

stated,viz that a small amount of money
will do the work Of exchange just as well
as large amount
The cost of coin currency is not very
large. If the sum Of $500, 1000 of
coin is necessary to keep the currency of
the United States redeemable in coin, and
this seems a sufficient estimate, then the
cost of this currency is the interest OF
$500, 100000, and whatever loss there
is from the wear of the coin. cannot
estimate the last item, but it cannot be
large. The interest of 100000, 900 at
4 per cent would be sl2, 600, OOO,-3O
cents for each person on a population oil
100000, or $3.50 for each family OF
five. This is not great price to pay
for stable currency. Compare with 1t
the loss which any workman may suffer
during a year from the most moderate
depreciation of the currency II la
borer is employed for compensation of
$500 year, and the purchasing power
of that sum is diminished 10 per cent.
by an increase Of the currency, he will
lose $50 thereby. g. A. KENT

Labor Gnd CnDitnL.

In this country there is no such thing
g. class OF classes, nor can there be. The
wage and salary men OF yesterday are
the employers OF to-day. or, as it Is COM
monty expressed. the laborer OF yester-
day Is the capitalist OF to-day. Labor is
= commodity 10 sell; capital furnishes
the means for its purchase /; but the care
fully husbanded proceeds of sales OF Ia
Dor soon become capital and the seller
becomes purchaser; the lsborer, in turn,
becomes tho capitalist. The capitalists
OF to-day who, for fear Of loss. will not
invest in properties and commodities ut
falling prices, were laborers before they
were capitalists, and many of the labor
ers of to-day, many indeed who are now
seeking employment without finding il.
will. in the revival of industry. soon be-
come capitalists and employers. All an
tagouism. therefore, between the en-
ployed and the employer, between labor
and capital. is unnstural; all organize
tions based upon the assumption OF the
hostility OF capital TO LABOR are hurtful.
La times OF business prosperity, when
all the people have remunetative ocou-
pations ana employment, there is general
conteutment, and in times of business de-
preston and industrial paralysis, when
wage and salary men are without en-
ploymeDt. there is discomfort, aud dema-
gogues are even ready to point out the
wrongs OF the laborer. Thus when Mr..
Voorhees, attempted TO array labor against
capital in biz speech on the silver bill, as
he was accused Of doing by bis Demo-
cratic Brother, Senator Eaton, he only
played the role of the demagogue.

A DARING SvINDLg.-On Tuesday Of
last week, one of the most daring swim
dies that ever occurred in this State was
perpetrated in Rockland and TSomaston.
Three banks being victimized on that
day
Willard b. Andrews, young man
twenty-five years of age, who had former
ly been in trade in Rockland, but more
recently in the fish business at Addison,
and selling fish in New York, presented
at the counter Of the Thomaston National
Bank what purported to be check
drawn by DOane & Colt, commission
merchants in New York, on the German
National Bank of that city, for 81 500,
payable on Andrews order, and certified
in due form. The bank cashed this
check, giving up as part payment, a note
for 500 made by Andrews father, who
resides in Warren, and endorsed by the
son. He then proceeded to Georges Ma
tional Bank, Thomaston, aud offered
similar check for Sl,S6i, which was
cashed. Andrews then came to Rock
land by the train, and offered a similar
check for the same amount as last named
at the Rockland National Bank, which
was also cashed, it appearing al!
right. Just previous he had presented 4
similar check for 81 ,240 at the Limerock
National Bank, which the cashier offered
70 forward for collection, but declined to
cash. The three checks having been
forwarded for collection, the banks have
been notified that they are all forged.
Andrews left Rockland on the afternoon
train on Tuesday. He was accompanied
by his father at lhomaston, aud by son
Of one Of tho directors Of the Rockland
Banks, who supposed hun all right, and
was e 20 known 10 the cashier. Andrews
is tall, rather angular, dark complexion,
smooth face, prominent nose, large feet
and hands.
