greenbacks, issued under the stress of
war, were not redeemable. gold went to
a premium-a state of affairs which
| promoted extravaganza and thoroughly
dsorganized business. Take familiar
case. A man bought farm in 1860 for
$1,000, giving $4,000 in cash and a
mortgage for $1,000. Within five years
the farm was worth $l2, 900 in depreci-
ated z. .eenbacks, and with butter at so
cents pound and other produce in pro-
portion, he could easily have paid off his
mortgage or sold his farm and have
been heavy gamer. In very few IN
stances was this done, however.
1t seemed so suddenly easy to make
money that farmers bought more land
at high prices, built expensive buildings
and even speculated in stocks. Our
sample farmer, then, we will say, in
stead of paying his mortgage increased
it by 1870 to 5000 or $4,000. Then
followed the gradual fall of prices.
brought about by the approach of paper
to parity with gold, until resumption
in 1879 left the farmer with farm
somewhat more valuable than in 1860,
but mortgaged TO almost its full value,
and the labor of twenty years gone for
naught. Many a man built an 81 900
house in imitation times to find it worth
only $1,000 on a gold basis, with, per-
haps, mortgage as large as that
SO that his equity in it was nothing.
This uncertainty, this fuctuation of
values, is the bane of fiat money
system.
A greenback system based upon gold
is absolutely safe, but it would present
no advantages over our present arrange
ment, and would be much more costly
to the people. In Great Britain this
function is performed by the semi
official Bank of England, which main
tains gold reserve for every bank note
issued. No note is issued for less than
S25, so that for smaller sums gold and
silver are universal Some Irish and
Scotch banks issue s. notes but they are
not in general use.
Our own system costs nothing, so long
as sufficient portion of the bonded
debt remains unpaid TO act as basis for
circulation. The jealousy of the ma
tional banks is something absurd. Let
our friends friend look up national
bond quotations in to-days papers and
figure out how much profit there is in
circulation to the banks. 1t is a
very small margin. True, the
banking profits We're larger in
the dark days, but they never cost
the government a cent, and the system
did provide us sound and stable cur
rency and rally the self interest of
moneyed men to the support of the
country. Only France has shown such
financial elasticity as the United States
of recent years, and in Frafce also the
bondholders of the government are diff
fused among the people everywhere, so
that all have stake in the country.
And this is true in this country of every
holder of national bank stock as well as
of every owner of United States bonds.

They Silent Torether.

At the late G.. A. r. encampment
Comrade Johnson and Comrade
Price, owing to the crowded condi-
ton of the village Of Atchison, were
compelled to bunk together, and tell
some pretty shady stories on each
other, now that they have returned
and resumed the ordinary duties OF
life. Price says Johnson IL somewhat
cratic while in Sunderland, that
he charges around and talks about
everything imaginable. An inter-
view with the redoubtable Sun man
discloses the fact that Price shores
and has cold feet. This Is only the
beginning, and the recriminatisns
that follow furnish spicy bit OF
gossip. Price, IL seems appointed
himself committee of one TO act AS
JOhnson's chaperone, and conscien-
tiously discharged the duty to the
satisfaction Of himself, and the APP
prevail of the balance OF the Salina
delegation. Very naturally John
son chsfed under this moral re-
straint, and tried in every possible
way to embsrrass his protector. He
reports that Price left for Kansas
City several hours in advance of the
party, but did not reach that place
until several hours after Salina peo-
pie pulled into the Union depot
Johnson affects, under the clrcum-
stances, to harbor horrible sus-
picion that Comrsde Price acted In a
very indiscreet manner. We have
no means of knowing how all this
will end, but we will keep our read
ers duly informed OF all develop
ments. Meanwhile the cruel war
goes on, and Johnson confesses to
having committed one indescretion
on the way down, but claims he was
taken advantage Of when he was
asleep and off his guard.
