The advocate., 1891-11-25


House on it's first passage, authorizing
full legal tender money, it passed by q
vote Of ninety three to fifty-nine. Among
the voters In the majority we find the
names Of Stevens, Spaulding, Window,
Wilson, Hale, Fessenden, Colfsx, Blng-
ham, Hooper and majority of the great
union Congressman, who were then in
favor of a full legal tender currency. In
the minority, we find Vsllandigham,
Voorhees,, Pendleton, VIM. H. English,
S. S. Cox, and all those sire in the rear"
copperheads, who were doing their best
to embarrass the cause of the union and
to ruin the country. Vallandigham, of
Ohio, was very emphatic in his denuncia-
tion Of legal tender paper. He said:
Cheap in materials, easy of issue, worked
by steam, signed by machinery, there will
be no end to the legion of paper devils
which shall pour fourth from the lOins Of
the secretary.
Vallandigham insisted that these notes
were not money, that they would not
circulate as money:
Though you should send them forth bear
ing ten times the image and superscriptiOn
the fair face and form Of Abraham Lin
coin, now president and Caesar Of the
American republic. 4 \ UTTERLY deny,
sir, the right of the federal government to
provide a paper currency, intended prl-
marily to circulate as money and meet the
demands of business and commercial trans
actions and to the exclusion of all other
paper.
But when the bill was returned from
the Senate, mutilated and deprecated by
the infamous exception clause, we find
Vallsndigham, Voorhees,, Cox, Pendle-
ton, English, ct hoe genus Omene, voting
for the mutilated bill authorizing a Grip
pied and deprecated money. Thus
taught and voted Vallandigham, the
traitor, and all his copperhead crowd;
and Senator Sherman voted in the Sem
ate, as Vsllandlgham voted in the House,
for this "great financial measure" They
did not agree with Secretary Chase, Will
son, Stevens, Hale, Window and all those
great and noble patriots who tried hard,
against the trinity of banks, cOpperheads
and rebels, to give to the country legal
tender money without any mutilations
and exceptlons.-(See Spaulding's His
tory, 1862
The object of the exception clause on
the greenback was to cause it's deprecia-
tion so that the holders of gold could
buy up the currency at half price and
then invest it in bonds at face value.
Senator Sherman himself once explained
the whole matter in a single sentence.
He said: "It became necessary to de-
preciate the notes in order to create
market for the bonds" That is, the great
rich men whom Thomas Jefferson called
"traitorous class" would not invest in
the bonds unless they could double their
money by 80 doing.
Having beaten the government in the
exception clause fight, which Mr.. Stevens
called "the first victory of the money
power over the country" the Shylocks
determined to take further advantage Of
the necessities of the government and
the exigencies of the times. So 10 1858
they procured the passage Of
THE NATIONAL BANK LAW.

with Che leAsenlng purchasing power OF our
greenbacks. II the interest OF our debt had
not been paid in coin would have borrowed
no money abroad, and the rate of interest,
instead of diminishing as it did, would have
been largely increased and the volume Of
paper money would necessarily have had to
be increased, and it's market value would
have gone down lower and lower, probably
ended, as confederate money did, in being
as worthless as rags. This exception clause
saved our public credit by making q market
for our bonds and was paid by foreigners
for the privilege Of entering our markets.
Like most men with q bad case on
hand, the Senator appears to have little
regard for truth, and sets out with
misstatement. Mrs. Emery's book does
not attribute the civil war to an in
famous plot of capitalists" etc. The
book plainly states (page 14) that "Afri-
can slavery" was the cause of secession
and the consequent war. Mrs. Emery
and the Senator agree as to the cause of
the civil war, and both state 1t plainly in
their own words, about which there can
be no disagreement. Mrs. Emery then
takes the ground that the great capital
lists were pleased with the opportunity to
speculate on the needs of the country,
and that they proceeded to profit by the
situation, as we shall see In the course
of this discussion. The little book uses
plain language to suit the plain, COM
mon people, and hence calls the London
and Wall street spectators "Shylocks."
This the Senator condemns, saying that
"the Shylocks Of the war were the men
who furnished the means to carry on the
government" ETC., as above quoted. In
this matter Mrs. Emery is in good COM
pany. She agrees with Thaddeus Ste
vens, Senator Wilson, Andrew Jackson,
Thomas Jefferson, Senator Benton and
others In calling men and things by
their proper names. But this will ap-
pear more plainly in the course Of the
discussion.
now call attention to the Senator's
remarks concerning the first financial
conspiracy.
Fortunately we are not left In the dark
as to the causes and agencies which
placed the exception clause on the
greenback Prominent actors in the
matter have left their words and acts on
record.
The legal tender bill was introduced
in the House by E. G. Spaulding, of Buf'
falo, New York, chairman Of the sub
committee of ways and means, December
81, 1861. 1t was discussed In the House,
and perfected, until February 6, 1852.
It passed the House by vote of 93 to
so. 1t provided for full legal tender
money with no exception clauses.
After passing the House, the legal ten
der bill went to the Senate. The Senate
amended the bill by providing that the
contemplated money should be legal ten
der for all purposes "except duties on
imports and interest on the public debt"
Mrs. Emery claims that those exceptions
were :he work Of the bankers. Mr.. Ste
vens, chairman of the ways and
means committee - the grand, old
"commoner" from Pennsylvania-tells
how the crime of wounding the green
back was committed:

SHERMAN VERSUS EMERY.

FlutteFS In his Agony just Like ANY Com
mon Bird--COngressman John Davis Re
plies to the Senator's Latest Letter OF
Finance.
A few years ago Mrs. 8. Z. V. Emery
of Michigan, emptied culver Of arrows
into the ranks Of the peoples enemies
The darts seemed light and feathery, and
the bow-string was drawn with the weak
arm Of q woman. Yet the shafts were
winged and pointed with truth and JUS
tlce, and the woman's arm was nerved
with an earnest patriotism. Very soon
the wounded birds began to fiutter and
the broken wings were trailing in the
dust.
In the year 1888, $4,000 copies Of Mrs
Emery's little book were showered
among the people Of Kansas. Under
their fructifying influence the seeds Of
thought began to spring up in every heart
The rage of the enemy knew no bounds
Great lawyers and judges Of courts wrote
pamphlets and newspaper broadsides
which were circulated by Republican
committees and corporation newspapers
az campaign documents. Smaller men
called the little book "The Union Labor
Bible" They cursed 1t in their speeches
tore IL to pieces In the presence Of their
audiences, dashed 1t to the floor, spat
upon 1t and trampled 1t under foot. All
this but proved the rage Of the lion that
had been wounded, the pain Of the whale
that was pierced, or the bird that was
shit"
Next comes the emptying Of another
culver Of shafts by the same arm that
showered Kansas - this time further
east--and promptly is produced the same
results. A Senator Of the United States
from Ohio deems it worth his while to
confess the pain Of the arrow In his breast
by review Of the situation In the usual
corporation attorney style. A copy OF
that review is before me, over the name
OF John Sherman. l beg to quote and
discuss portions Of 1t:
MANSFIELD, Ohio, October Il, 1891.
Mr.. Charles r. St0key. Canton, Ohio:

panied by Mrs. 8. E. V. Emery'S pamphlet

visionary book was sent to me, and l reat
it with both amusement and astonishment
that anyone could read it with approval ol
be deceived by its falsehoods. The ''Sever
Financial Conspiracies" are the Heven great
pillars Of our financial credit, the sever
great financial measures by which the gov
ernment was saved from the perils of wa
and by which the United States has become
the most flourishing and prosperous natiol
in the world. The nrst chapter attributes
the civil war to an infamous plot of capital
ists 10 absorb the wealth of the country a
the expense of the people, when all th'
world knows that the civil war was organized
by Shareholders to destroy the national gov
ernment and TO set up slave-holding con
federacy in the south upon its ruins. Th,
Shylock described by Mrs. Emery is phan
tom Of her imagination. The "Shylocks Of
the war" we're the men who furnished tn,

THE PENITENTIARY BOARD.
Col. j. Frank Chavez Named as Superin-
tendent-C Compliments for the Re
firing Superintendent-Pro
ceedings in Full.

At their afternoon session yesterday the
board of penitentiary managers, on motion
of Mr.. Armijo, took up the question Of
electing a superintendent of the institu-
ton for the year beginning April 4 next.
The names of Col. j. Frank Chavez, of
Valencia, and Col. Ned W. Wynkoop, OF
Santa Fe, the present incumbent, were
presented. On the vote Col. Chav-
ez received a majority of two,
Col. Dryer and Mr.. DeMier voting
for Col. Wynkoop. On motion OF
Mr.. DeMier, Col. Chavez selection was
made unanimous.
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Branch
and unanimously adopted setting forth
that in making the change in the super
intendency no manner of reflection is
cast upon the ability, integrity and capa-
city of Col. Wynkoop, and rendering the
retiring superintendent the boards thanks
for his faithful and valuable services dur
ing the year ending April 4, 1891.
The board then took up and disposed
of much routine business, among other
things ordering the Offices of store keeper
and stewart abolished and requiring the
assistant superintendent to act as such in
addition to his other duties; also direct
ing reduction OF the number of day
guards by two.
Col. Dwyer moved that the superin-
tendent be instructed to at once to settle
with all parties owing for brick furnished
by the institution AdODted
Mr.. DeMier offered the following special
rule, which was adopted:
"Under no circumstances excepting in
the greatest emergency will any male en-
ploye or male convict be allowed to visit
the female department unless accom-
panied by the matron."
There being no brick clay on the
grounds, on motion of Mr.. Laughlin the
superintendent was authorized to lease
the lands adjoining the penitentiary
grounds on the south from which to OBJ
tain clay for making brick, the price to be
not to exceed 5 per cent of the brick
made from such clay.
The superintendent presented to the
board estimates for supplies for the en-
suing six months from April 4. The New
MEXICAN, Citizen and Optic were desig-
mated as mediums in which to publish
bids for supplies.
Mr.. Branch moved that Mr.. Laughlin
be allowed 5000 per year as clerk of the
board. COL Dryer raised the point that
the law creating the board stipulated that
no member thereof should hold any other
territorial Office and said he did not see
how Mr.. Laughlin could, under that law,
draw pay as member of the board and also
draw pay as it's clerk. Besides, Col.
Dryer argued, the total amount
of money allowed the board
is but 81 300, when at least 81 900 would
be necessary to pay commissioners alone.
The vote on Mr.. Branch's motion stood
a tie and thus the matter was dropped.
The board transacted some further rou-
tine business of minor note and adjourn
ed to April 4, at which time Col. Chaves
will be indicted into the office of super
intendent.
