and for the further reason that the note
would purchase bond, payable at a
stated time, principal and interest, In
money. The soldier who received the
note had the promise Of government
that it should be paid In coin; the per-
son who held the bond having such
promise and no more, the government
having made no distinction between the
note holder and the bondholder, the per
son holding either until government
could pay, received money for his paper.
There can then be no valid objection
raised to the exception" clause In the
legal tender act, save upon the ground
that the notes were not issued as promises
to pay money, but were issued as "real
money" with but the fiat of government
declaring the paper of itself, money. This
character was never contemplated and
never given in the issuance of the legal
tender currency.
You refer to the credit strengthening
act, measure growing out Of PROPOSE
ton which met with considerable favor
IN 1868, that the government should
issue legal tender notes In volume suffi-
cient to pay it's bonds. The effect Of the
agitation was damaging to the national
credit at a time when our obligations
were maturing, hence, upon the meeting
of Congress following the election Of
that year, q resolution was passed by
that body declaring that the government
intended paying all It's obligations in
money, and this was called the "credit
Strengthening act" The act was but
declaration that the government intended
to pay, and not repudiate It's debts.
This and the exception clause In the
legal tenders afford no ground for griev-
ance to the person recognizing the dis
tinction between money and notes, and
having due appreciation of the attitude
of the government during the war, as q
purchaser upon credit, and as debtor
pledged to final payment of Its obliga-
tions. To the citizen believing it better
TO pay than to repudiate, and with a
clear understanding Of these questions,
no defense is required for the financial
management of the government by the
Republican party from the day 1t assumed
control to the present time. It found
the government with an empty treasury
small revenues, without credit and con-
fronted with the greatest civil war Of
modern times. It devised the best sys-
tenn of revenue ever put In operation
and the safest banking system ever es-
tabllshed. Built up credit unsurpassed
by any nation on the face Of the globe

pay one Of the largest armies Of modern

full issue, having since made good every
pledge OF the war period, whether the
promise was for payment Of money on
its bonds, gold for It's legal tender notes
or payment of bounties and pensions tC

Republican party, for brllllancy, patriot
ism and integrity, is equalled only BY
the matchless military record Of the ma
tion, achieved by its citizen soldiery

Extracts YOU have made from speeches
The advocate., 1891-10-21

The fallacy Of this claim becomes appar-
ent upon intelligent Investigation as 1t
shows the causes 10 be general, world
wide In extent, and not Of local nature,
as agriculture in other countries has had
more serious obstacals with which TO con-
tend, than these with which American
agriculture has been confronted. With
In the last twenty years the American
farmer has been brought into sharper
competition than ever before, with the
worlds labor engaged in agriculture, 1t
having been within that period that sta
pie food supplies from all productive re-
gions, have reached the market In which
the surplus products from this country
are sold, Indian and Russian wheat sup
plies and South American meats In large
quantities having first entered that mar
ket since 1870, these products OF the
cheapest labor of the world selling In
competition with supplies from this
country. During this period, European
governments containing population OF
almost two hundred millions of people,
previously using silver as money, dis
carded that metal and adopted gold as
the standard money Of those countries,
thus increasing the demand upon gold,
which, together with decrease in the
worlds annual product, has tended to en-
hance its value, resulting in relative de-
cline in value of commodities. Thus we
have had the conditions of increasing
volume of commodities without CORES
ponding increase of money circulation
in the market where our products are
priced, value Of money like value of com
modltles being dependent upon supply
and demand in the market. Apprecia-
tlon, therefore, in value Of gold, which
may have occurred, is due more to grow
ing demands Of the worlds business from
increasing use by European governments,
than to appreciation from increased use
in this country. For while silver was
nominally standard money prior to 1873,
it was but nominally 30, revenues having
been collected and public dues, including
pay to the army that year, having been
paid in gold, very little silver having been
used, the entire coinage Of silver dollars
between 1853 and 1873 with no restric-
tion on coinage, having been less than
six millions OF dollars. Bank reserves
were held largely in gold, while balances
between this and other countries were
settled In the same kind of money, so
that commerce and usage, prior to any
legal enactment in favor Of gold, had So
lected that metal as It's money, having
virtually discarded silver before any
statutory recognition Of the fact. That
the supply Of worlds money is becoming
inadequate for the worlds business
seems to be fact, and to this fact Is due
shrinkage in price of commodities, in &C
far as money circulation has an effect
upon values. The remedy for this lies
in an enlargement of circulation of the
worlds money, cheapening Of gold as
such money, which to prove effective re-
quires the action Of more than a single
nation. The paper currency Of this
country would no more affect general
prices by cheapening gold in the worlds
markets, than would the warrants oi

measures, leading to the bank act Of
1874, he made no exhibition of 1t. Other
questions had absorbed the attention Of
our people, and then came the war, 30
that a generation had passed in this
country since the money question had
been under discussion, and all knowledge
Of the source Of money and the litera-
ture on the subject of money had been
lost"
Perhaps members of Congress and
others, from whom you quote, including
Mr.. Sherman and even Mr.. Stevens, at
the time of the passage of the legal ten
der act and other financial legislation
of the war period, in the expression of
views contrary to sound finance, were no
better informed at that time upon the
money question than are those people
now who labor under the delusion that
prices of commodities are influenced by
the volume Of domestic currency of this
or any other country.
But you ask why was 1t necessary for
the government to convert it's notes into
bonds? The answer is easy, and Is to be
found in the fact that the government
could not create money, and yet it was
obliged to have money, and there were
but two ways Of obtaining it, namely,
taxes and loans. Government, no more
than individuals, being able to borrow ex-
tensively without paying interest, it hav-
ing borrowed all it could with safety and
due regard for its pledges upon it's nom
interest legal tender notes, was obliged
like other debtors to pay interest or do
without money. AT the close of the war
the government having still no money,
found It necessary to replace it's 7-3O and
other matured interest notes and bonds
with longer time bonds, these having
been negotiated at lower rates Of interest,
due to the improving credit of victOri-
GUS government. The volume Of its le-
gal tender notes at later date was like
wise reduced until the remainder could
be paid ON demand, the government hsv-
ing thus made good Its pledges for pay
ment of all its obligations. The same
reason that leads a county to the OK
change of its bonds for it's warrants is
sued in excess of ability to pay on do
mand, led the government to exchange itS
bonds for its demand and matured notes.
And while these notes OF government
would purchase its bonds, the govern
ment could no more, with fairness re-
quire the bondholder to accept govern
ment notes in exchange for its bonds
than could county upon the maturity
Of It's bonds claim the privilege of ex-
changing It's warrants in payment of
such bonds, as such process would be an
indefinite exchange of one class Of notes
for another, without ever paying the
debt, whether practiced by governments,
states, counties or individuals.
The financial Legislation of which you
complain was but the work of govern
ment In syStematizing the great debt
growing out of the war. National life
and human freedom had not been
measured against dollars and cents by
the people Of this country. The credit
of the nation had been strained appar-

decline in price of the commodity indi-
eating increase in volume of such com
modify relatively to demand or decrease
in gold relatively to demand in that mar
ket. To remedy this condition is not
within the power OF any one country, as
no country could do more than to return
its gold reserves to the channels of cir
culstion, which would result but in
the chespening Of domestic paper cur
rency from an abandonment Of the gold
standard. The danger of such expert
ment would be that gold at a premium,
as 1t necessarily would be, would be held
as a commodity for speculation, thus pre-
venting Its flow to and enlargement Of the
volume Of money and cheapening Of
gold in European markets.
The first and most important lesson to
be learned In economics is the fact that
this country Is but part of the world
neighborhood, fraction Of the general
commercial domain within which there
Is one market, one money and one price
for staples, varied only by cost of trans
portation from place of production to the
central market, that this general system,
not due to legislation, has superseded
former conditions, when local prices
prevailed, determined by local supply
and demand and the volume of domestic
currency This condition is the result
Of the growth of civilization, due chiefly
to the use of steam and electricity, which
has brought all productive sections,
every wheat field and every piece of
grazing land of the globe, within speak
ing distance Of the great centers. That
commerce without legislative aid has
builded its own government, reared COM
mercial realm wholly independent of po-
litical governments, and having by decree
of business selected gold as the money
Of Its realm, no nation is possessed of the
power to change this or to cheaper gold
relatively to commodities in any other
way, than by returning its gold reserves
to the channels of circulation In the
worlds market. Such action on the part
Of this government could increase the
worlds gold circulation, If at all, by
but small percentage, and such increase
would be at the cost to this country of q
surrender of Its use And any currency
legislation which does not propose re-
turning our gold reserve TO general cir
culation In the worlds market, could not
possibly affect prices, as we cannot ad.

European markets, 80 long as the surplus
is flowing in that direction, and any

New YORK, Sept. 5.-The Herald to-
day has these dispatches:
VALPARAISO, Sept. A report
reached here tonight that the city of
Coquimbo had been sacked by a mob.
The report is discredited as it is thought
the authorities there have ample force
at their command to quell any disorderly
persons who try to create disturbance.
The question of the refugees on board
the American and German war ships
has been settled definitely. The United
States steamer Baltimore sailed to-day,
presumably for Callao, having on
board Sgrs. Mollendo, Banadinas, Espi-
nosa, Godoy, Perez Montt and seventeen
other less prominent Balmacedists.
The German cruiser Alexdrine, with
Senior Claudio Vicuna, Admiral Oscar
Viele, Capt. FuentZ and several others
on board, is expected to sail for the
same destination tomorrow.
The congressional army was COM
posed of volunteers. So secure do the
sition at present that they have given
orders that any of the volunteers who
wish to do so may return to their
homes, and hence the late victorious
army is rapidly dislntegrating. In a

see any signs of the late war.
