THERE is one point as to which
all the Western leaders of the
Democratic party are agreed, and
that is that 1t would have been in
flnitely better to have replaced
United States bank notes by an
equivalent amount Of greenbacks,
thus can ceiling the interest on the
bonds used as a basis for their
circulation. Thurman aud Pen.
dlston and Ewing have planted
themselves on this position and
stand there now. But when it
comes to an illimitable issue of
greenbacks, to be used in paying off
the bonds of the United States, and
to depreoiate the currency In which
-tRs workingman is paid his wages,
the case is altogether different. 1t
is so certain as not to admit of
doubt that, in all cases of depre-
ciated and depreciating currency
the poor man is the quickest and
greatest sufferer. This is In the
very nature of things. Everything
he consumes is the first to advance
In price, while his wages is the
last to respond to the new order. A
certain number of debtors would be
able TO swindle their creditors out
of . portion of their dues, but PEG.
pie who can get largely In debt do
not belong to the honest poor. The
manly thing to do would be to re-
pudiate the national debt at once.
That, at least, would not still
further impoverish people already
at disadvantage with the world.
There would be logic and system,
though very questionable m oral
ity, in such programme. 1t
would, at all events, have the
merit OF not attacking the poor as
we'll as the rich, which is what the
project Of unlimited greenback ex-
panslon does.
