THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT, SUNDAY, NAY Is, 1879

that Of inchoate Reputation. II at just half
way on the road to maturity the peo-
pie and the communities which owe
these debts begin to find the interest too
tolerable, what must be the result ten
years hence when the whole principal COM
mences to fall due? 1t requires no gift OF
prophecy to predict the outcome. Either
q the property OF the people to the hands OF
the bondholders must ensue. The former
would produce o financial convnlsion; the
latter political revolution. For such q
transfer and Capitalization Of property would
certainly carry with 1t the establishment Of
on arlstocracy IN name as we'll as In fact.
These are the considerations involved at
the bottom OF the pending financial Discus
sions In Congress-, Honorable members do
not like to give them public utteranees as
plainly as | have done, but they realize and
admit the facts In private all the same.
Now let us SEQ what is expected by it's pro-
motors to BIO
THE EFFECT OF THE PENDING SILVER BILL,
when 1t becomes q law. Nobody expects that
1t will become q law so long as Che fraudulent
creature now In the White House holds his
sway and Yields his veto-pen. But thai will
DO at an end In 1881, and the advocates OF free
silver coinage expect to SEQ their scheme In
operation shortly after the disappearance Of
Hayes. They estimate that the natural and
legitimate operation Of the the, present silver
bill between 1881 and 1s9o-the date at
which the pressure Of outstanding
debts OF the classes referred to Is expected to
culminate-would be to increase the circulate
ing medium by about three hundred millions
OF dollars, or perhaps four hundred, In bulk
alone, to say nothing OF the stimulus that
would be given to industry and commerce
This calculation may surprise those who have
been taught to look upon the free coinage oil
silver as device to flood the country at once
with untold billions of deprecated metal. In
point Of fact, looking at the capacity OF our
mines to produce, and OF our mints to coin, 1t
Is seen at once that the addition Of new silver
to the circulating medium cannot go above
thirty-five to forty millions year, and 10 not
likely to reach thirty millions, and that only
upon the suppostion that the entire product
Of the mines Is to be turned into coin, and the
mints run to their full capacity solely on sill
yer dollars.
This steady and not excessive
GROWTH or THE VOLUME OF MONEY
Ia believed by the advocates OF the pending
silver bill to be just what the country needs
In the way of currency reform. And thus fal
the only serious opposition to 1t comes from
those classes Of people in New York and New
England who hope to see the day when thu
bonds they hold will become patents of nobil
| ity and the twenty dollar gold pieces they
hoard will become eoats-of-arms A. G. Il.

THE FAoroRs AND TRADERS INSURANCE COM
pAeY.-We take especial pleasure In directing
the attention Of our readers to the thirteenth
annual statement Of the above well-knoWn
com pany. From a careful. critical examination
OF this, one can obtain an Intelligent and ap-
preciatiys Idea of the strength and solidity OF
this com pany, whose stock. We may notice In
passing, stands higher In the market than that
OF any other insurance company In this
city. The company has paid 10 per
cent per annum on Its capital stock. and
has declared cash dividend OF 20 per cent to
stockholders on the amount OF the net partici-
pating premiums for the year ending ON the
thirtieth Of April. 1879. With such able. pru-
dent and sagacious men as Col. Z. A. Paifrey.
as president. Major T. ]. Walker as secretary
and board Of directors composed OF most in
telligent and experienced merchants, there is
NO cause to wonder at the great success and
popularity that attends this institution.

We are requested to announce Big

old Greenbacks himself and does not
wish to be compared TO such financial
glow-worms as Tom Ewing, John Sher

poses to cry the sheritfs sales from the
