get some rest. Everything has been tried
TO stop the pressure on him. but 1t is still
there Set hours do very well to keep out
the small fry but so long as he remains in
the White House the President cannot re-

Currency Reform.

Every well informed person recor
nizes that tile metal money Of Ill,
country is totally inadequate 10 meet
its business needs. Indeed the only
lexcuse for its continued coinage a.
money il the fact that the bond-holl.
ing fraternity in its greed. procured
the passage Of Il law to strengthen
the public credit" iii 1869. !. e.: to in
crease the value OF their bonds by
making them payable in something
which they thought could not be pro.
yided.
In their greed. however. they over
reached themselves in providing for
payment in coin OF the then standard
/ weight and fineness which included
the silver dollar of 4iat grains. To
prevent payment in the coin .'nomi-
mated in the bond.' they procured
the passage of law demonetizing
the silver dollar: and in 1873 they al
lowed it to be but partially remone-
TIED, III limiting its coinage to half
the annual output.
Their objection to the silver dollar
really is that it may be made suflic-
lent to pay off their bonds. and that
the bondholders are unable to CON
troll the output.
All, well informed in financial mat
tiers. admit that the precious metals.
so called. are insufficient in amount
to supply the money needs Of the
country. Hence the antagonism to
paper money is but a sham battle on
the part of its opponents, the real
question with them being, who
shall issue it. the government or the
corporations
The effort on their part is to per-
petuate the present bonded debt as
the basis Of the national bank issues.
The amount Of paper money that
they fix upon as requisite to the bus
mess needs oft country is $1,000
100000. The bonds required to Sc
cure it would be 81, 100. 900. 900. The
annual interest upon this sum at
three per cent. only would amount
to 800. OOO.O 600
This sum is entirely too much to
demand Of the people Of the United
States. simply to enable them to OBJ
tain money upon which they must
pay an additional eight or ten per
cent. to the bankers. Ii the pay
ment of this immense annual interest
can be avoided, and as good circn-
lating medium obtained by some 9TH
er means, that means should be
adopted and adhered to.
To continue the national banking
system for one hundred years would
cost the business and laboring mel
of this country for interest OH the
bonds to secure the issue OF one thons-
and million dollars. the enormous
sum of $50. 900. 900 900 drain upon
its resources that no people and no
business could stand. Then, upon
this thousand million of national
bank issues they would be taxed
from eight TO ten per cent, com
pounded every ninety days.
We leave it to others II make the
computation as 10 the time il will
take, under such Il money system. to
suck the life blood out Of the people.
Treasury notes issued direct by the
government are as current and safe
rs the bank note. they are full legal
tender. which the bank note is not.
and they do not cost one particle
OF interest for their issue.
