WHY SHOULD THE WORLD BE hoBbhD VI 4i'A'''
OF ITS REAL MONEY!
Mr. Hunter. senator from Virginia, ana
oboirnan of the Finance committee OF
The limited States Senate, IN an able report
voicing the settled policy OF the OIlCeu
States, said in 1852: ,,;t
1.-THE mischief would be great indeed, Il
all the world were to adopt but one OF inc
nreclous metals as the standard OF Natu5'
r. don't gold alone would diminish spe-
Gle currency more than one half, ana the
reduction the other way, should SILVER DC
taken as the only standard, would be large
enough to prove highly disastrous.
Hecould not have described IN more apo

i'm New York and Boston, IN the SHY
and futile campaign or teTroEhcaIiTu
which they are now carrying, on. II
1878 the Bland act was passed by "n tI.Li
fine American dollar was restored 70 Jne
COINAGE of the United States, and two TO
four millions of them were. directed
to be coined every month. lHcn
The same noisy alarmists, beating
the same gOugs and tOm-tomS, pro-
tested, lust as they protest now,
that the measure would drive our
cold out of the country and cause the
dumpiug of ship-lOads of foreign suFGr IN
our marts. But these metals nave
trompled down with derisiOn all these pre-
dictions. Since 1873 we nave I.lt.GityU ~

over and above all receipts from otn -.5o
countries have been at the rate oil S5'UOJ'OOU
to $1,000, 900 per annum.
IMITATION AND CHEAP METALLIC MONEY TIE
NEEDS OF TEE TINES.
To initiate the currency of any country
with real money, whether white or yellow,
il not a very terrible thing TO do. IL -
what the mines of the Andes and COrqll-
leras did to relieve the peuury and DarOa-
rism of the Dark Ages. tits what the mines
of California and Australia did TO relieve
the depression of 1S15-1Si5, and to set on
foot the enterprises, industries, and lnYen-
ticus which have produced the marvellous,
unprecedented, and magical developments
of our own day and generation. 80 IL DC
