THE Democrats demand that all paper
currency shall be based GA gold and silver.
to give it stability. aud the republican plat
form agrees with the democratic in that re-
spcct. The democracy were fighting for a
currency with a specie basis before the rcpub-
Iican party was born. The grccnbachcrs are
wrong in representing that the volume of cur
rcncy regulates the business of the country.
The reverse is true--thc business regulates
the volume of currency: the supply j. always
made equal to the demand. a. a natural cOnsc-
qucncc The grcenhackcrs want to remove
from the greenback notes the promise of pay
mcnt, and make them paper pictures. When
a man gives his note. the takcr accepts it with
faith in the promise of the givcr to pay it.
No one would take n piece of paper bearing
no promise and have any faith that any pay
ment would be made. The idea of irrodcem-
able money. based on the faith of the govern
mcnt. is delusion. Garry out this idea that
the government stamp creates value. and why
not let the government stamp a million for
won and million for me: The idea does not
hold out. The flush times of the war were
not caused SO much by an initiation of the
currency. as by the change in the relative
number of producers and consumers and the
appcaranoa nj thu government in the market
rs an enormous purchaser. suppose that the
government shoad issue a thousand millions
of 4sseenbacks. how could you get them any
easier than now? The government would
take up bonds with them. and the bond hold
ers and not the laborers would get the green
backs. - LcrtstoH JoprRoi.
