Mr.. PRESIDENT, it may be cause,
it may be coincidence, it may be effect,
it may be post hoe or it may be propter
hoe, but it is historically true that this
great blight that has fallen upon our
Industries, this paralysis that has over
taken our financial system, conceded
in point of time with the diminution of
the circulating medium of the country.
The public debt was declared payable in
coin, and the power of silver was de-
stroyed. The value of property dimin-
ished in proportion, wages fell and the
value of everything was deprecated
except debts and gold. The mortgage,
the bond, the coupon and the tax have
retained immortal youth and vigor.
They have not appreciated. The debt
remains but the capacity to pay has
been destroyed. The accumulation of
years disappears under the hammer of
the sheriff and the debtor is homeless,
while the creditor obtains the security
for his debt for a fraction of what it
was actually worth when the debt was
contracted. John J. Ingalls, in the
senate of the United States, January
IA. 1891.

1.-THE American people are generous
and grateful; and they have impressed
these characteristics upon their gov
eminent. Therefore, all patriotic and
just citizens must commend liberal
consideration for our worthy veteran
soldiers and for the families of those
who have died. No complaint should be
made of the amount of public money
paid to those actually disabled or made
dependent by reason of army service.
But our pension roll should be roll of
honor, nucontaminated by ill desert and
unvitiated by demagogic use. This
is due to those whose worthy names
adorn the roll and to all our people
who delight to honor the brave
and true. 1t is also due to
those who in years to come shall be
allowed to hear reverently and lovingly
the story of American patriotism and
fortitude, illustrated by our pension roll.
The preferences accorded to veteran
soldiers in public employment should
be secured to them honestly and within
reason and when capable and worthy
their claim to the helpful regard and
gratitude of their countrymen should
be ungrudgingly acknowldged."-Fr
