INTER EST Is SUFFICIENT COMpENsA-
TON FOR THE USE OF MONEY.
1t must b. admitted that. u wiIful
change of the contract by legislation
is dishonest, and ought to subject the
offender to punishment. Thi. is the
view entertained by the producing
classes of the clandestine acts which
demonetized silver. They are unable
to distinguish them from any other
pooling or cinching process invented
by the knavvs Of stock boards to swim.
die the unwary.
Mr.. Wells tells us, as before stated,
that the decentralization OF silver Is
not the only cause of decline of prices;
that improvements in machinery ard
skill in production have increased the
supply aud thereby diminished the
price. If this be 40, who should have
the benefit of such increased supply
the producers who invented aud per-
fected the improvements in machine
~ and applied to production their su
pe,ior skill, or the non-producers who
loaned money upon condition that
their original capital should be re-
turned with interest? How are the
producers benefited by their skill, en-.
er3y and enterprise, if the non pro.
dnc-rs are to reap all the advantages
Of increased production? This be-
cones an important question in view
OF the fact that
1HE NON PRODUCERS IN THE UNITED
STATES HAVE A MORTGAGE,
So to speak, upon the production of
the country which Is supposed to
about equal the asst ssed value of al
the property of the people. How
will this vast Indebtedness I've paid if
prices continue to decline? The
nominal amount of debts will no, d.
minish with the decline o. prices.
That, nnfortunateI Y, is fixed in the
contract The vast income paid an
nually in interest to the non producers
will be reiavesteh in new loans So
long AS there is any security left in
the country for such Investments
How long this will last, with the rapid
growth of debts and contraction of
standard money, cannot be definitely
predicted.
If gold is adhered to as the only
material out of which standard mon.
~y will be made, tn. end will soon
come. A decline of prices Of over 80
per cent. in sixteen years is alarming.
The supply Of gold as compared with
the demand has decreased, and will
continue to decrease. The world to-
day on a gold standard i, bankrupt.
There is not in existence four thou
