to buy foreign goods, they knew as well
rs they knew they were living, that our
volume Of money would be increased
by large receipts of gold from foreign
countries. They also knew that they
would make liberal use of their power
rs national bankers to help tho initiation
by issues Of bank money. They doubt
less, knew, also, that the ignorance of
the people would make them believe
resumption was the cause Of the return
OF prosperity and that they would 90
into business 20 the extent Of their abil-
ty thinking that good times had come
to stay. These long-head capitalists
knew, for certainty that the business
revival wouldn't last long They did not
infer this from the fact that we must
have "smash up" every seven years
as the old saying Is, but they knew that
there would be 4 contraction of the cur
roncy and the bubble would burst in
three or four years. They knew that
the higher prices which would prevail
here would cause the gold TO leave us
for cheaper markets and thus orr cur
rency would he contracted and they
knew that the banks, ii their interests
SO directed, would aid the contrac-
tion by contracting bank money.
Now, we think affairs are ripe for a
boom. General stagnation prevails,
caused by locking up money, gold lcay-
ing us and the ba nks contracting bank
currency and general distrust cngcn-
dcred by falling prices caused by this
decreased volume Of money. Prices
are low and gold will be coming this
wayne are too hard up to buy rs much
as usual from foreign countries and are
selling much to them and of course we
arc bound TO get gold. The coming
influx Of gold will be taken advantage
of by the capitalists and they will in
ilatethc curency-whcthcr by,increascd
issues OF bank money or transferring,
rs is proposed, the over four hundred
million dollars from the L. S. treasury
to the banks and letting them loan it
out the same as other deposits, we do
not know-maybe by beth means. The
boom may not be brought about in six
months. They may wait until the meet
ing Of Congrass and the coinage of sil-
Yer is stopped, and then claim that the
business revival was occasioned by the
"rcstoration of confidence among cap
italist5 'who were afraid Of being COM
PEELED to take the dishonest silver dol
lar This boom will be OF short du-
ration. The allied money power and
the government will try to make it last
over the next presidential campaign.
and may succeed in so doing but we
believe it will collapse by the spring OF
1883.

IT is proposed to deposit with the

the U. S. treasury. The banks of conrse
will be required to deposit bonds to Sc
cure the return oftAc money. The mon
ey they will loan out as other deposits.
This will cause great increase in the

OF course it is impossible for us to
tell when the capitalists will again in
iatc the currency, but we can guess at
it by watching events. These capital
lists are shrewd men in their specially.
If they want to initiate the volume of
money, they are not fools enough to at
tempt it when IN unfavorablc balance
OF trade is contracting the currency.
No, indeed. They wait until the bal
ance of trade is in our favor to such an
extent that TO settle the balance for
eignerS must send, in addition TO cou-
pons on our bonds held by them, large
sums OF money, thus helping the inlla-
ton, Our prices are so low now, that
foreigners are buying OF us largely and
we are so poor that we cannot and do
not buy much of them. hence money
will soon flow this way. Therefore we
look for general imitation before this

lHERE IS gong TO be temporary
business revival in short time. We
want it to come and want the people to
enjoy it, but we want them to truly un-
derstand what brings it about, and to
know that it will not and cannot con-
tinue long. We don't want them to be
fooled, as they were by the so-callcd
resumption of specie payments. Don't
want them to believe that because eight
or ten months after Cleveland's inaug-
uration times became better, that Cleve-
land with his anti-silver policy was the
cause OF it rs they did believe that ''re-
sumption" was the cause of the i'm
provement in the times which set in
some six months after resumption day.
Capitalists understand the effect of
the volume of money in circulation up
on prices better than any other class of
people-in fact they are the only peo-
pie who give the subject attention. BY
knowing the fact that an increasing
volume of money causes increasing pr.
ces and a diminishing volume causes
diminishing prices; and also knowing
when there is going to be an increase
or decrease in the volume of money,
they are enabled to and do make mon |
ey' Upon the approach of resumption
day they knew that the volume of mon |
ey in actual circulation would be IN
creased; the business interests of the
country were PROSTATE and nine ty-nine
one-hundredths of the people discour-
aged and afraid to invest or make n
venture in business Resumption day
came and business still languished-la-
Dor and labor's products were n drug
in the market. Three months of re-
sumption elapsed and no relief to busi
ness and the tramp nuisance" became
unbearable. The people were dlscour-
aged still more. But the capitalists
knew what was coming. They raked
in stocks, bonds and other property at
their own prices. They knew that by
the refunding Of u S. bonds which was
then going on, a great sum of money
was locked up in the treasury; for 1t
will be remembered that Sherman
would sell large amount of tho new
bonds and then call for payment SIM
liar amount of old bonds, but the hold
ers OF the old bonds had a right to keep
them and draw interest for three
months after the call, and hence the
treasury report showed about half
billion of dollars in the treasury in the
summer of 1879. They knew that all
money tied up in the refundng process
would soon be in circulation. They |
also knew that gold always goes to that |
country where an ounce of it will buy
the most, and knowing that the price
OF labor and labor's products, by rea-
son OF the general stagnation of all en-
terprise and the small volume of mon.
ey here, were low enough to attract gold
here and that our people were too poor
