The truth is that the Government ought
not to have anything to do with the cur
rency beyond its legitimate function Of
coming money. No Government can safely
engage in a banking business. No demo-
cratic government can safely intrust the
currency to popular legislative body like
Congress. The National Banking system
is not the ideally best system, but it is in
finitely better than anything that has been
proposed as substitute for it by the
Greenbackers. The latter have several
times modified their platform since they
first took the field, but behind all their
changing propositions turks Reputation.
They are those who are not conteHted that
the debt OF the nation should be honestly
discharged They have always been in IA
vor of sealing the debt, of cheating the
public creditors, of diminishing the
purchasing power of the peoples money.
While they have been pretending to
be deeply concerned for the interests Of
"the people" they have distinguished
themselves as the advocates of every as
sault upon the stability OF the currency
and the public credit that has been made.
They have foisted upon the country that
silver dollar which is fraud on its face,
which threatens the currency with depre-
citation, which imperils the permanence of
resumption, and which constitutes most
mischievous attack upon the purchasing
power Of the poor mans wages. They
have struggled all the time to force upon
the public currency worth less than that
which they now possess. They have urged
continually measures destructive of the
public credit. They propose to Tighten the
burdens of taxation by acts of reputation
which would kill the prosperity of the
nation. They think to gull the ignorant
1 by pretending that by some hocus.pocus
they could make money more plentiful
In all this they only deceive those who
listen to them. II the Covenant were
/ to issue a thousand million dollars
in paper currency tomorrow, no single
dollar of it would come into the hands of
the poor save in exchange for full consider
alton, either in labor or products Of some
kind. Imitation never made the poor rich,
and never viii. The rich are The only
ones who ever profit by such financial
blunders. And in view of these facts we
very earnestly advise the Republican
County Convention which meets here to-
day to take bold and firm stand on
behalf of hard money and full recogni-
ton of public obligations. If it is thought
necessary to refer to these questions in a
platform, let the Chicago resolutions be
taken as guide and example. Democrats
perhaps can afford to ally themselves with
reputation and financial heresy, but the
Republican party has higher responsible
ties, and the friends of honest and enlight-
ened government require it to vindicate its
reputation in all conjunctures Of this kind.

DEMOCRATIC GREgNBAcKIsM

The local Democracy have begun the
campaign by turning their backs squarely
upon the national platform of their party
on the currency question. Instead OF fol-
lowing the lead of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, which declared for hard money aud
faithful discharge of the national obi
cations, they have adopted Greenbacker
platform, and have pledged themselves to
principles their ignorance of the nature OF
which can be their only excuse. That
they did not know what they were doing
is shown in the fact that they innocently
Endorsed the Cincinnati platform in the
same breath with which they rejected its
currency resolutions. They were no doubt
moved to take this step by the hope of
gaining the votes of soft-money men, and
their absurd qualification of the doctrines
of their party only serves to show how very
little conviction of any kind has to do with
the character of their positions. The finan-
cial policy which they have SO rashly
espoused is one which, if successful.
would result in the ruin of the
country. The present status of the
currency is by no means what 1t ought
to be, but anything would be better
than the crazy plan of the Greenbackers.
That school garnishes its perverse and
foolish financial crudities with pro
fuse expressions of regard for the
People," Demagogues and sham reformers
of all kinds have invariably employed the
same phraseology, however, and this fact
alone should render thinking men
suspicious. What these people profess
to want is the extinction of the National
Banks, and the substitution of National
currency for ali other kinds. At the same
time they propose that all the coin in the
Treasury should be paid out in redeeming
the public debt, and that then the public
creditors whose claims had not been dis
charged in this way should be left to
whistle for their money. This plan is
Reputation and National Bankruptcy
neither more nor less. 1t would not be
an experiment, for the same kind of scheme
has often been attempted before, and
there is only one possible ending tot it.
In the first place the proposition
that the national Government should issue
the only currency is a fatally bad one. It
is no part of the legitimate functions of
Government to issue paper money, and
no Government has ever done so without
repudiating its own issues in the end. A
national currency based upon nothing has
been the dream of sciolists from time i'm
memorial, but though it has been at
tempted several times, disaster and ruin
are the only results ever derived from it.
No such currency could be maintained at
par. 1t would depreciate from the first
day of its issue. As it deprecated the
same quacks who now clamor for it
would declare that its loss of value was
owing to its insufficient volume. They
would demand fresh issues, and with every
fresh issue the depreciation would be
greater, until the familiar outcome of the
French Assignats and the Continental cur
rency had been reached.
