Hon. John w. FOrney Declares I'm Favor
of q Greenback Money standard.
Giving ForcibIe Reasons for the Faith
that u tn Him.

During the present century, and par
ticularly within the last few years,
there has been much diversity of opin-
ion among our people as to what should
constitute or be employed as money.
While il is true that among civilized
nations gold and silver have, for CEN
turies, been recognized a. the common
measure of value, it is, nevertheless,
equally true that gold and silver coin
have for many years comprised i'm our
country but small part of the circula-
ting medium, large part of our bank
circulation and other paper ISSUES being
represented by values other than coin.
This being the case, the question nat
urally arises, why should the paper cir
culation be redeemable i'm coin alone?
Why not make it redeemable in other
representatives of value also? III the
property of the country, and of the
banks, other than gold and silver, is
properly the basis on which large
part of the paper circulation Is issued,
why, with equal propriety, if found
necessary Undesirable, may not, indeed,
such property be made the basis for the
redemption of the entire paper circula-
ton.
We are aware that by many gold in
particular is claimed to, be " the money
of the world" and such claim that it
should be made the basis of all CONNER
ciai transactions, here as well as else
where. In reality. however this met
/ nj, whether coined or uncoined, is as
between nations, regarded merely as a
commodity, and as such is, on account
Of its purity, scarcity and stableness
for convenient purposes, often used by
them i'm the settlement of trade balan-
ces. Even within the limits of coun.
try or state, gold, whether in the form
of dust, bullion or foreign coin, is sim.
ply an article of trade, and fluctuate.
IN value like any other article of trade
except where legislation authorizes il.

he failed to make the postoffice DEPART
ment take the proper view Of the enter
prise. At last Capt. Mclean authorized
the postmaster of this city Capt. G. r.
Rudd was then in Office to make pro-
posal to the department that the steam
er Bowling Green would carry the mails
twice a week between Evansville and
Bowling Green, stopping at all inter-
mediate offices tree Of charge. The
liberality Of this proposition awakened
the officials at Washington to q realiza-
tion of the fact that the necessities Of
the people required such service, and
answer was promptly made that it was
against public policy to have the United
States mails carried without any consid-
Grafton whatever being paid, but that
the government would employ Capt. Nc
Lean to carry the mails twice q week
for the nominal consideration Of $500
per annum, the same to be continued
for reasonable time i'm order that the
department might be able TO determine
upon the utility of the service. Such
was the beginning Of our Green river
mail service, and to the liberality Of
Capt. William Il. Mclean our citizens
are indebted for suitable mail facilities
with the Green river country.
During the year 1858, Capt. Mclean
broke up his residence in Kentucky, and
located permanently in Evansville. He
was connected with some Of our jobbing
houses for several years. but his health
failed and he was obliged to withdraw
from active life. He had become gen.
orally known to our people, by whom
he was highly respected and esteemed
as a man of strict integrity and Of enter
prising views. While residing here his
family which consists Of three sons and
three daughters, have assumed positions
of high respectability i'm society. His
two eldest daughters, Misses Mary and
Alice Mclean, rank among the highest
valued teachers in our public schools.
His son Edwin, lad of fifteen years,
i'm ten years at school has never been
absent nor tardy until called home to
the bedside Of his dying father.
The last time Capt. Mclean left his
home was to east his vote at the late
presidential election Singularly enough
he left home on that occasion attended
to the polls by his old and familiar
friend, Capt. G. r.. Rudd, who died last
Tuesday and preceded Capt. Mclean to
the grave just twenty-four hour. They
were friends in life, and in death they
were not divided.
This community with one accord ex-
tends to the bereaved widow of Capt.
Mclean, and to the afflicted family, the
sineerest sympathy. Another good man
has fallen, and a wide circle Of friends
mourn for his loss with genuine sorrow.

No doubt you have heard OF the mis-
fortune of Uncle Jimmy Stewart hav-

night last week. The fire was supposed
to have caught from the fireplace, and

furniture of Mr.. Robert Stewart, son
OF the aforementioned gentleman,
was destroyed, and Messrs. Bird Ward

Decease of sim Another Old Citizen.
Brief Review OF His Life and
Character.

Scarcely was the ink dry which an
nounced to the people of Evansville
the loss of two such citizens as Capt. G..
II. Rudd and William Emery, Esq,
when the word was given out that Capt.
William h. Mclean had also gone the
way Of all the earth. Though Capt.
Mclean had been in failing health for
many months, his friends were not gen.
orally apprised that he was worse than
usual, and hence the announcement OF
his decease, following 80 swiftly after
the grave had closed over the mortal
remains of two other worthy and well
known men Of our city, struck the pop
ular heart with feelings of solemn SEN
sibility. Truly, ''in the midst of life
We are i'm the midst Of DEATH Cap.
Mclean passed peacefully to rest at the
family residence, No. 9l6 upper Eighth
street. He will he buried from his
home this afternoon at o'clock, when
his friends are invited to attend.
William Brank Mclean was native
of Shawneetown, Illinois. where he was
born June p, 1921, but his parents mov-
ell to Grand Gulf, Miss, when he was
only two years of age. AT the latter
place he was reared and educated, and
it continued his home until he was
twenty-one years of age. He then set
tied Mt Greenville, Kentucky, where he
engaged in commercial pursuits for
several years. While residing in the
sunny south, Mr.. Mclean had made
the acquaintance of Miss Mary Harring,
and his affection for this lady carried
him back to Grand Gulf, where the
twain were married, Jan. IL, lS47. In
the p'santime, Mr.. Mclean had pur-
cR Ia farm near South Carrollton, on
Green river, and he devoted himself to
its cultivation, at the same time carry
ing on the business of general merchan-
dising in that town. After a prosperous
business career for a number of years,
he exchanged his farm for the Bowling
Green, which he commanded in person,
the vessel plying between Bowling
Green and Louisville, stopping at
Evansville both ways.
As an evidence of Capt. McLean's
public spirit, it may be mentioned, that
while engaged in the navigation Oi
Green River, he made repeated efforts
to secure the establishment of semi.
weekly mail line between Evansville
and Bowling Green. He said that the
business of the country tributary to
Green river required such service, buI

the fear that the "greenbacks" would
ever get beyond their ready reach. Sta
bility i'm the volume Of the currency
could be maintained, and contraction,
with all the evils that usually follow in
its train, be avoided.
The "greenback" rs our money stan
dard should be directly of greater SER
vice; also "a an aid in protecting our
industries against injurious foreign
competition. II, for instance, the value
Of our imports should ever greatly ex-
ceed that of our exports, the balance
would have to be paid in gold, and this
might deplete our country of that COM
modify. In that event, our govern
ment, unless it became purchaser of
gold, would be compelled to discontinue
the redemption Of its notes In that arti-
Gle. Gold would then become a mar
ketable commodity, and, according to
the demand for it, its price would be
affected. IL our trade debt to foreign
countries were large, gold would COM
mand high premium; II small, allow
one. In either case the premium would
tend to check the flow of imports, and,
as consequence, to more or less pro-
tect our industries from Disadvantage
Gus or injudieious foreign competition.
Thus by obviating the necessity for
currency contraction, and indirectly
checking the flow Of imports, the
"greenback" would, in addition to its
other uses, perform its double service.
As in mechanics the fiy-wheel and the
governor" equalize and regulate the
movements of machinery, so the
"greenback" would, in our country,
regulate all the movements of trade.
But, superior as we believe the "green-
back" to be to every other form of
money i'm circulation here, it, never
theless, has no power within itself to
prevent the rich from becoming richer;
nor can it give the impecunious and
struggling masses the assurance that,
as a superior form of money, 1t will
ever be instrumental In causing the
conditions to be permanently improved.
As between it and other forms of money
We regard the ''greenbaek" as simply
the lesser evil. II Is true in bad, as
well as in good, sense that "whosOever
hath to him shall be given. and whoso-
ever hath not, from him shall be taken
even that which he seemeth to have" I"
Through force, fraud, sagacity and the
ordinary accretions Of private wealth,
large part Of the property Of the
world is already in the legal ownership
Of a small percentage Of its population;
nor is there anything in the nature of
any kind of money to prevent the
growth of this stupendous evil.
We prize the "greenback" not only
as we regard it a. less Objectionable
than all the other forms OF money, but
because it is a conspicuous expression
of the confidence which, notwithstand-
ing their many mutual antagonisms
and jealousies, the citizens Of our COM
mon country repose in their form of
government and each other.
II has been said that "the love of
money is the root Of all evil" Let US
hope that the time is near at hand
when mans love for, and increased
confidence in, his fellow-man shall
eradicate this root, and Danish money
from the earth.-F6raey's Progress.
