Increased Circulation.

1 would suggest that an increased circula-
ton could be secured by the free coinage of
silver; by 4 reduction of the tariff so as to
prevent the government from taking out of
circulation and locking up many millions of
the peoples money; by paying off all gov
eminent bonds promptly on their maturity,
in coin when so specified, otherwise in the
usual legal tender treasury notes by chang
ing the national banking laws SO as to pre-
vent and place it out of the power of Wall
street to control, by the aid of the secretary
of the treasury, the volume of currency in
circulation among the people. If the
bonded Indebtedness was paid off, the vast
amount of money held by banks and
in the United States treasury as reserve
funds, would be unlocked and flow into the
channels of trade and aid greatly in sup
plying the demand for more money. Our
own state treasury should unlock its
boarded millions by loaning it to its citi-
Zens on either unincumbered real estate at
a low rate of interest or by permitting any
school district in the state to incorporate
for school purposes and issue bonds TO
build and furnish schoolhouses, and then
invest its permanent school fund in these
bonds, requiring such schOolhouses and
furniture to be insured for the benefit and
security of the state etc. This last plan
does not divert the funds from the object
for which they We're intended, and at the
same time it puts the permanent school
fund back into the hands of the people, and
directly advances the cause of education.

as good reasons for this as for some other
acts Of congress. Leaving OF, however.
this constitutional question do not think
the proposed bill would afford the relief the
people need. The constitution of the state
OF Texas exempts from mortgage and forced
sale 200 acres of land in the country, the
homestead of family and the lot or lots in
city or town constituting the homestead
and place Of business of the head of the
family. Only those who own land above
the exemptions could secure the favor of
the government in the way of a loan under
Governor Gibbs bill. Those who do not
need help from the government or from any
otner sources would be the only beneficial
ries. The rich or well-to-do man under
this plan could get money at per cent,
while the poor and needy would have to pay
regular banking interest to get it. 1t is no
argument to say that the law might limit
the amount of interest to be charged. l be-
Heve the national banks are limited in this
respect now, but we all know they are daily
discounting paper from Is to 30 per cent
No one can be compelled by law to loan
money, nor can any law prevent the dis
counting OF paper l have heretofore in
this letter, for the length of which l beg
pardon, stated that l was opposed to any
system which made the people dependent
on banks for money. Instead of encourag-
ing by law the people to borrow money
they should be encouraged to keep some
ahead. The only solution of the problem in
my opinion has already been substantially
stated, that is, the success of Democratic
principles, which means the reduction of
taxation, economy in the administration of
public affairs, free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver and the issuance of such adj
ditional treasury notes as may be necessary
to supply the needs of the country. And in
addition let me say, we should build up
home enterprises and industries, keep our
money at home by patronizing them. When
we do this we will witness an era Of pros
perity never before known in this country.
Respectfully, 10 ABBOTT,

HON. ". II. POPE.
Unlimited Coinage of Gold and Silver With
Wise Federal Legislation Will Rev.
olutionize the Times.


Yes, we need more money. As to the
best plan to secure the increase needed
think vast majority of Democrats will
agree that is by the unrestricted coinage of,
gold and silver.
The much maligned silver dollar was not
regarded with such horror before Repub-
ican congress by GINNING device struck
silver down from the place it had always
held alongside of gold as money of the coun-
try. The common people of this govern
ment who bear the most of its burdens are
determined to have silver coined freely and
in unlimited quantity
If we had from forty to fifty dollars per
capita circulation in this country it would
be hard for the gold kings of Wall street.
TO CONTROL THE MONEY MARKET.
If the addition to free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver wise Federal
legislation could be had that would give
our country fair showing in the markets
of the world, and if our own state would
abolish that abominable provision of our
constitution which prohibits the chartering
of private banks we would have but little
complaint of hard times in money matters,
other conditions being equally favorable.
For five consecutive sessions of the legis-
lature | have attempted to have submitted
to the people a repeal Of the provision of
our constitution referred to, believing that
under wise laws 10 govern the chartering
of banks in Texas, thousands of dollars
would be brought into circulation that
otherwise remains under lock and key

Necessity for an Expansion of the Circulate
ing Meiium-Open the MINIS to
Unlimited Coinage.

Editor Gazette.
To your first question l answer, yes.
When it is considered that the amount of
money in the country as shown by estimates
of the treasury department, is, in round
numbers, about s., 500, 900 900, (Which, in
my Judgment, is largely in excess of that in
actual circulation among the people, when
it is remembered that about one-third of
this amount is annually required TO meet
the appropriations made by congress; when
we reflect that our population
is about sixty-three millions. and con-
template the marvellous development of our
country, the demands of trade and the ex-
tent of the business of the people of the
United States; when we realize the effect
of the annual retirement of many millions
of currency from circulation, in connec-
ton with other agencies of contraction;
when all these and kindred conditions are
appreciated, it would certainly seem, aside
and industrial depression which obtain on
the admitted ground of monetary strin-
gency, that there is a pressing necessity
for an
EXPANSION OF THE CIRCULATING MEDIUM.
In reply to your third question l an
swer: Open the mints to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. Let the genesis
OF the mines respond to great American
policy of bimetallism. If the supply from
this source be Inadequate; if, as predicted
and appears exceedingly probable, there
will arise an enormous deficit and addi-
tional appropriations shall be required; if
an emergency of which congress may
judge, actually exists, which renders
proper supplemental issue of treasury
notes necessary, the power Of the govern
ment in relation to its currency under the
decision Of the supreme court may be in
voked for additional paper money. Some
safe and constitutional method may GER
tainly be found whereby our stock of
metallic money may be aided in connection
with the other currency now in existence.
Then reduce taxation, and thereby leave
more money in the pockets of the people. l
have not time to enlarge upon the subject
even if you had not suggested breyity.
Very truly, s. ". T. LANHAN

out. Another will say that the necessities
OF tho government require this 60 per cent
tax. A tax of 30 per cent would probably
produce
NEARLY AS MUCH REVENUE
by increasing importations, and the differ
ence could be bridged by reduction in eX-
penses, Cut off fraudulent pensions, abol-
lsh the civil pension list, quit paying subsi-
dies to ships and bounties to sugar planters.
Eliminate all but necessary expenses. Leave
private interests to private individuals.
Steer clear of protective tariffs, and na-
uonal banks as banks of issue. Avoid the
sub-treasury and all other schemes which
propose to enlarge the functions OF govern
ment. Reduce the government TO its strict
est constitutional functions Grant and de-
mand equal and exact justice and then the
taxes which are now taken from the indi-
vidual by the government and the manufac-
turer will remain in his pocket and produce
the expansion in circulation which he SO
much desires. GEO. &. PESDLEToN.

We Want $40 Per Capita - Unlock the
National and State Treasures and
Put the Money in Circulation.

Put the NJ oney IN Circulation
Editor Gazette.
Referring briefly to your questions on
the subject of money, as connected with
politics, l have to state that in my opinion,
We should have more money in circulation,
say $40 per capita. The condition of the
country requires more money than ever be-
fore, to move the ever increasing crops of
the farmers, to transact and carry on the
fast increasing business of our cities,
towns and villages; to aid in the develop
ment of the country, such as purchasing
machinery. and opening up farms by the
farmers in the country, and building fac
tories, etc. in the cities Besides this, the
people of this government as a whole, are
more extravagant than ever before. Hence
more money is demanded per capita by
them than ever before. So we are no
longer confronted by theory, but by
condition, and unless this condition of
things is not changed. bankruptcy and ruin
will follow.
The law of supply and demand governs
this money question the same as all others,
and in consequence of the supply being in
sufficient and the demand constantly in
creasing, the capitalists have been enabled
to eXtort from the laboring commercial and
agricultural classes the highest rate of in
terest and the most onerous terms sor the
loan of their money

The Key to the Situation is to Sell Higher

tive Tariff.
Do we need more money! Yes.

Do we need more money! Yes.
How can we get it, Earn it. Make your
increase greater or your outcome less. Sell
higher or buy lower, or both. Well, but
You say how are we to earn it. We work
all the time, we cannot purchase more or
live on less. Very true, our American farm
ers are the most intelligent and thrifty in
the world. To ask them as rule to prac-
tice greater industry or economy would be
an insult, but still to be more prosperous
and have more money they need to sell
higher or buy lower or both.
The government ought not to give money,
because to give to some it must first take
from others, and that would be unjust. A
loan must be repaid, and makes the man no
richer. So the only way that the individual
can get money is to earn it, and the only
way to keepit is to have a margin in his
favor. How to get that margin is the ques-
ton.
favor unlimited coinage of silver at such
ratio as viii make it interchangeable with
gold, and keep both metals in harmonious
circulation, and the government ought
probably to issue treasury notes to
fill the vacancy created by the withdrawal
of national bank notes, but il this results
in expansion and a rise in prices, 1T will
verify benefit the debtor and that debtor
who already has margin in his favor, be-
cause what he sells and what he buys will
no margin before. this expansion would not
give it to him. Sales and purchases would
Offset each other and he would be
No RICHER NOW THAN BEFORE.
The key to the situation in my opinion is
to sell higher and buy lower.
Most of the great staples are raised for
export The prices at home and abroad are
the same less the freights If the freights
were reduced the net price would be higher
and we would get more for our products
Give your ships loads both ways, and re-
quire your railroads to charge reasonable
rates to the seaboard and your products
viii rise in price. Then how are we to buy
cheaper2
BY lowering the Chinese wall that 60
per cent tariff has built around this country.
Reduce your tariff 60 per cent and buy that
much cheaper. You sell in free markets.
you ought to buy in markets as nearly free
as the necessities of the government will
allow. But the reply will be made that
goods are cheap enough already, and that
they are as cheap here as abroad. Goods
are never cheap enough when the same
quality can be bought for less money in
some other market. They are not as cheap
here as abroad, or it would not be necessary
to build avail TO per cent high to keep them

Three weeks since The GAZETTE adj
dressed the following letter to about twenty
gentlemen of recognized ability in the state,
and the following replies have been re-
ceived:
DEAR SIR-THR GAZETTE desires to pre-
sent for the edification Of its readers an in
telligent consideration of the question of
The Need of More Money in Circulation
and How to Provide 1t.
To this end we respectfully request of you
for publication statement, as briefly pre-
sented as the subject will permit, your
views on the great problem.
i. Do we need more money in circula-
tione
2. If not, why nots
3. If we do. what is the wisest and most
effective plan for providing this additional
circulation
Believing while the clamor of people may
be perverted by demagogy and diverted by
quackery, that it rests in the main upon /.
condition and not theory, your discussion
of the subject is very much desired in the
symposium The GAZETTE will present to
the public; and because the discussion will
appear in one issue, brevity, as far as pos
sible, is asked
Your attention as early as your conven-
fence will permit will be appreciated.

than jeopardize our success by the advocacy
