call it by its right name, full legal
tender money?]as England or France.
According to Fawcett, an authori-
ty which you often quote as reliab''
England has s21.70 per capita AID
France has s45, 90, counting coin and
paper money-all "debt payi..g mon.
ey."
Nowsthen, suppose that we give to
this country "twice or thrice as mrch
as England or France"
Wehave a population in round num-
bers Of $50. 900, 900.
Twice as much as there is in En-
gland would give ms S2.470, 600, 900
and three times as much would give
Us SO, ,705. 900, 900.
The lowest amount that ycu admit
we really need is 2,47O. .0GG. 900 dol
lars and the highest amount $780,
900, 900 dollars.
The most extreme Greenback sin
aationisis" has never claimed that We.
should 60 beyond the extent of sub
stitutsng full legal tender greenbacks
for the face Of the bonded debt, which
amount would not equal our lowest
figure.
But suppose we average the amount
which you say is needed, calling it two
and half times as much as the aver
age amount in England and France.
This would give US calling the aver
age Of the two countries 35 dollars)
the sum of 1876, 900, ,o0o-uearly
twice as much as the entire bonded
debt and greenbacks combined.
Or, let us suppose, that we have
barely fifty per cent. more currency,
than the average rate per capita in
France and England; this would give
1894. 600, 900.
This amount is not quite equal to the
aggregate of bonds, greenbacks and
coin.
Where are we to get this amount?
We have not thqt amount of coin!
According to Fawcett it is more than
half of all the gold and silver bullion,
coin, and base metal used for coin, in
the whole world.
Then we must use paper money!
What kind shall it be?
!. Shall it be stump-tail,
No.
Shall it be national bank notes?
Mol Recause, why not let the gov
ernment issue it direct instead OF thro'
private corporations
Why not let the government issue
paper money full legal tender to the
extent of paying of, or buying up up
on the market, the entire bonded
debt, and in thst way put into circu-
lation nearly the amount that you de-
clare to be the least that we really need
in this countryf
Do you say that such an imitation
Of paper money would send up the
price of coin?
Not at all. for if the debt were once
paid of there would be no demand
for coin for import duties or interest
on the public debt. hence no premium
upon it and the large exports of the
produce of this country would bring
to our shores such quantities of gold
and silver commodities merely that
wewould ha.e always an abundance
to settle foreign balances, and beyond
that there would be no demand for
coin.
Then would this people be relieved
from the enormous burden of 100, 900,
900 dollas of coin interest money ev.
cry year.
Then would come the overthrow of
the Money Power. the Money Loaners
the Coupon Clippers. and the Interest
Vampires.
Then would come the regeneration
ofthe Republic, the revival Of busi-
ness, the renewed hope and revival of
the people. "A -f7
Then would come peace, prosperity
and happiness Of the people in this
heaven blessed land.
