gold ana SILVER lS announcer OF your un-
supported and erroneous assertions. l
have TO pass over many Of these assump-
tions, and much of the sophistry Of this
part of your letter, because / desire to
give some attention to the subject of my
former letter to you; but as l have ex-
ploded your whole theory of money, and
shown the error of your averments re-
lating to the evil effects Of a paper cur
rency, your argument built upon these
claims falls because Its foundation is
swept from under it, and do not need to
give 1t further attention.
You say in relation to the legal ten
ders:
When the legal tenders, with the exception
clause, to which you objected, were issued, the
government was debtor for money borrowed,
aud 1t was still a borrower, I" hence In
the employment Of men and In the purchase Of
supplies for the army, it was creating debt for
which Its notes. payable in the future, were
given.
And again:
The soldier who received the note had the
promise of government that It should be paid in
coin.
Now, sir, do you not know that when
this currency was issued the govern
ment tVas not debtor to any great ex-
tent? Do you not know that when the
patriotism of the people moved them to
offer their lives for the salvation of the
nation that those who owned the gold
and silver of the country refused to make
any sacrifices? Do you not know that
the inability to borrow money was the
cause Of the issue of the paper currency?
Do you not know, also, that this currency
was, in the language Of the monetary
commission, "the actual legal money Of
the United States," and that 1t had no
other money? And will you please to
tell me how many of those notes were
redeemed In the hands of the soldiers
and sailors, and the men from whom the
government purchased supplies Of food,
clothing and ammunition? Do you not
know, sir, that it was never designed that
they should be 80 redeemed? Do you
not know that 1t was the purpose at the
time of their creation that they should be
converted into interest bearing bonds,
and that this was the only redemption of
them contemplated? And do you not
know that this was designed for the en-
richment of the very men whose want Of
patriotism and whose selflshness and
greed had led them to refuse their gold
when the masses of the people were
offering their lives? Do you not know,
also, that the great bulk of those bonds
were payable by the terms of their issue
"in legal tender money Of the United
States" and that it required subsequent
legislation to make them payable in gold?
Let US see for moment just how the
scheme worked. There were two things
only which greenbacks would not pay
duties on imports and interest on the
public debt. The importer receiving
cargo Of goods must therefore have gold
with which to pay his duties. Where
was he to obtain it? Nobody but the
bankers had any. 1t had skulked away,
as 1t always does on the approach of
danger, and was locked in the vaults Of
Shylock. With him, therefore, the
merchant seeks an interview, which we

but there was a deafening hiss of steam.
The soft night breeze blew on his face

screams and cries of deadly anguish and
calls, confused and aimless. One wom-

Keppei, having paid his dollar, jumped
ashore. 1t was then within an hour OF
so of sunset-a warm, quiet evening. He
set out to walk at haphazard, and soon
found himself following a narrow track
through an apparently interminable
growth Of small pine and oak. Once in
a while he passed a lonely farmhouse;
but though he was getting tired and
hungry again he could not make up his
mind to ask for shelter.
Night came on and found him still
tramping onward, with woods on either
hand. But as the darkness increased
the path seemed to fade away and be-
come o~bliterated, and he was soon
stumbling through thick underbrush.
The boughs and twigs whipped his face
and the briars caught his feet. Stagger-
ing forward, exhausted and impatient,
he felt his feet sinking in a muddy ooze.
and discovered that he was on the bor-
ders of a swamp. He turned to the right
and began to skirt along its borders; but
again and again he narrowly escaped
plunging neck and ears in the PREACHER
Gus morass. Frogs croaked on all sides
and mosquitoes buzzed around his head.
He lost all sense of direction, and thought
only of putting one foot before the other.
Often he fell, but scrambled up again
and groped onward. Whichever way he
turned the swamp seemed to lie in wait
for him. He thought: sit will swallow
me up In the endt And it was for this
that / escaped from the railroad wreck"
Just then he stumbled up q slope, and
his feet trod on firmer ground. The
bushes and trees thinned away. Looking
mp he saw before him a black, rectangu-
lar mass. He drew nearer; it was a house.
There was no light in the windows. 1t
seemed ruinous and deserted. But 1t was
. human habitation, and would suffice.
he passed around the corner and found
the door; it yielded to his hand. He en-
tered, and felt his way along the parti-
ton Of the hallway to another door on
the left. Passing In he saw a CLEAN of
light through q crevice in front OF him.
In another moment he had crossed the
door and was standing on the threshold
