Advice to A Young Man.

Another thing. son, you want to remem-

propped out across sixteen inches of shoul-

any means, any more than a straight back

cord and acorn gives you q war record.
There have been young men, yea, and old
men. too, before your time who owed the
tailor for their chest and shoulders, and
owed for them precious long time, too
There have beeh young men who could
waltz for an hour and ssxty-eight minutes
without once sitting down to rest, who
couldn't saw enough wood to warm fan.

ded that you have to keep your helm hard
sport all the time to keep from walking
around the block to starboard when yor
want to go strait ahead. you'll never thinl

rich man. even if he hasent crust to ca

loss of currency is enough to cut the throat

resumption was sham, and read an arti-
Gle from The Philadelphia Ledger, which
he said was inspired by the banking house
of Dre1el, declaring that there had been
no resumption, If the article is true,
what in heavens has the Republican par
ty done? To resume it has bankrupt the
west and ruined the south, and stirred up
the Bourbon element to hatred, and ground
the negro to the necessity Of fight. In
conclusion he said that if the Republican
party we're allowed to succeed it would
limit votes to the rich man. Mr., Phillips

In The Fog.
The Olean IN. W Record (Greenbaci

The Olean IN. W Record (Greenback)
says:
ITO call in all the bonds Immediately
and pay them off with greenbacks, would
result in at least partial repudiation. which
the Nationals do not wish nor intend. Be
side, this would result in greatly depreciat-
ing the greenback, a result which they can
not Afford"
The Record will not deny that green
backs are lawful money, nor that they are
legal tender for debts, public and private,
except interest on the bonds, There would
be NO reputation on the principal Of that
portion of the public debt which
was originally represented BY the :5-20
bonds, in greenbacks.
The 10-40 bonds are contracts to deliv.
er TO the bearer on or before a certain day
a certain number of grains of standard gold,
OF sixteen times as many grains of standard
silver.
They call for certain weights OF two
kinds of metal either or both Of which the
debtor is at liberty to deliver.
II the contract had been for the delivery
of so many feet of Olean pine plank, or 30
many bushels of corn, or tons of pig iron, il
would have been all the same. Suppose
the contract had been for pig iron instead
of gold, aud at maturity it was impossible
for the government to procure the iron for
delivery? What then? There is no law
or decision under heaven that would de.
prive the debtor of the right to make q
tender OF the market value of the iron in
greenbacks, and the creditor would be
obliged to accept il in lieu of the iron.
The last sentence in the above quotation
from the Record is stab to the very heart
of the Greenback movement.
When the present vast private indebted
ness of the country was contracted, proper
~, labor, debts and greeu backs bore acer-
tain relation to each other. Since that
time, in consequence of the greatly increas-
ed demand for gold, brought about by the
demonetizatioh of silver, specie resumption
in several countries then in suspension. and
the largely deminished supplies from the
mines, that metal has vastly appreciated in
value, which is proven BY its present pur-
chasing power and the very low and de-
clining values Of products and labor. And
the greenback having frozen to the gold
BY the chill of resumption, has gone up
and continues to rise with it, until to-day
to collect debt in greenbacks contracted
five or six years ago is akin to robbery.
If every dollar of the public debt was paid
off in greenbacks to-day, they would not
depreciate penny below their face value
for debt paying purposes. Every dollar
would be par for dollar of debt and tax
es. They would depreciate below gold, of
course, which would increase general pri-
ces, and make the greenback very lively
in seeking labor and investment for profit.
This is what we want; it is what is re-
quired to revive business, and restore the
country to ptosperety.-1sra Haute En-

Finance Catechism.

"What are the causes Of panics and e.
nancial crashes?"
Inflated credits, baseless confidence, con-
traction of the money volume, shrinkage
Of values, and inability to meet monied
obligations.
aCan inflated credit be avoidsd?"::
Most certainly. Abolish all laws recog-
nizing the relation Of debtor and creditor.
Supply productive enterprise with an am
pie volume of currency to do q cash busin-
ess.
"Would not such volume of currency
render il worthless?"
Nothing is worthless that is in demand.
| If men had no legal credit, the demand for
money would be vastly increased. OF this
there is no doubt. Demand gives value
to everything. Just in proportion as the
demand for money is increased by the ab-
olishment for legal credit, 30 will its value
increaseuntil the,demand is satisfied. Money
is always too dear, and too scarce so long as
business is obliged to pay premium for it
in the shape Of interest.
AT what time did the first panic occur
in this country and what was the immedi-
ate cause?"
It occurred in 1909. Prior to this q
large number of state banks had sprung up
in New England, New York and Pennsyl.
vanis, which had supplied the country
, with generous circulation. This curren.
cy was 1edeemable in specie, of which con.
fidenoe told the people the banks were well
supplied. But about this time England
was preparing for resumption, and wal
ransacking the world for the precious met
ais, and drew from our banks until the fail
ure of one after another precipitater pan
. 10. Upon investigation il was found tina
the bank of Gloucester, r J., with cirpu
lation of $3.50, 900 of its notes, had but $50
16 of coin in its vaults, and all the bank
proved equally baron to the basis. Thi
rendered the money Of the country worth
less. Its vast volume was nearly wipet
, out. Men failed. Prosperity was saori
q feed, and rpin and desolation covered tn
land.
"How many financial crashes have W
had, and were they all produced by simi
n lar causos?"
A Ten times prior 1873 was the countr.
visited by financial tornados, followed b.
4 hard times, stagnation Of business, ruin AM
4 bankruptcy. Each was produced by con
y traction of ourranoy through bank failures
: from not possessing the coin with which I
a redeem their notes.
/, The country hardly rallied from the Of

a was plunged into another abiss of ruin.

"How about the panac of 1872"
1t was produced by gradual contraction
of the currency by funding it into bonds,
the nece ssary and inevitable initiation of
credit to supply the place of retired money,
and the srinkage of values below the cost
