Fiat Money Again.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-In the Louisville
CourSer-JOurnal of June 5, we have the
above heading upon which the sstute
editor proceeds to give the public q
lesson on the much vexed question OF
finance.
While have been a great admirer Of
Mr.. Watterson and have generally &C
cepted his teachings on political matters
as oracles of truth, 1 must, in justice to
my own convictions, dissent in toto from
the views therein set forth. / Reproduce
some extracts as follows:
First-In the course of the discussion
we have contended that every form Of
currency must be either a promise to
pay definite sum Of specie, having q
recognized intrinsic value, or else it must
be itself this specie.
To which 1 reply: that every dollar Of
whatever form Of money should be q
real dollar and not a promise to pay in
any specific metal. l should like ex-
ceedingly well for Mr.. Watterson to tell US
where the specie gets its intrinsic value;
or what is its intrinsic value anyway Is
it not the value it may possess for any
special use, regardless Of and independ-
snt of any statutory quShfcatiOnsH II
this be true, and I aver that it Is, what
becomes Of the boasted intrinsic value Of
either gold or silverP
Second-Naturally we have pointed
out the fact that no act of congress, no
stamp of the mint, adds anything to the
value of the gold dollar, and that the sill
YER dollar, worth 65 cents, circulRtes at
par because the government adds its
credit to cover the deficiency.
Suppose gold should be demonetized
by all or even by half the leading nations
as silver has been, would it not depreci-
ate? Certainly 80, just as surely as sill
YER has, or as wheat or cotton would in
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-06-28

verdict the newspapers issued extra edi-
tions, and all Washington was intense
with interest; the president was among
the last to learn the news. But then we
must not expect too much OF sympa-
thetic old Abraham Lincoln's successor.
There is pending session of congress,
and the presidential officers must be 80
spportioned as to bear upon the congress
sionsl vote on the Sherman act; it's q
most perplsxing and engrossinR situa-
tion.
II referendum vote were taken as to
whom should be applied the title "6rst
lady OF the land" would the old soldier
vote be cast for Francis Cleveland, or for
Clara Barton? The one just off for the
summer round Of pleasure at Buzzard's
bay, without one word or token OfsmRll-
est interest in this national horror and
disgrace; the other, ever on the spot,
alert and ministering TO want and woe.
Why not amend the code Of titled honor?
The coroner's verdict, besides holding
four persons, Col. Ainsworth, Contractor
Dant, Superintendent Covert and En-
gineer Sasse, responsible for the fright
full tragedy, indicates "the government"
as party to the crime. There never was
a juster verdict. The government, the
people, the voters, each and every one
should sadly own their partnership in
this awful crime, because OF criminal
ignorance and criminal devotion to
partyism instead Of intelligent devotion
to patriotism. 1t is the duty Of the peo-
pie to know how their public business iE
managed.
All these time-worn injustices, incon-
sistencies and superstitiOns of which ]
have written cannot be corrected by the
qusck, political practice of periodically
turning out one set of oficeholders and
putting another set in their places; that's
no good at all; the old, worn out, unjust
SYSTEM must be turned out, and the
people, without regard to party, would
better get about it.

said on this line. But the people have
learned that they can not depend on the
"inanciers" to manage the finances of
the country, and having learned very
dear lesson in the school Of experience,
they now demand in thunder tones that
there be reform along these lines, and
they will accept nothing less than the
free coinage Of gold and silver and the
issue Of treasury notes-a full legal ten
der, real money--in sufficient quantity to
do the business Of the country on cash
basis. G. NJ. ENGLAND.

AS John Sherman said: They "purposely
deprecated the greenbaCks to make
market for the bonds" What patriotism
thisl to cripple the peoples government
money on the one hand in order TO make
q market for government bonds on the
other hand for the benefit Of the money
speculRtor.
With the exception clause on the
greenbacks, gold went to premium Of
$50 per cent. ct one time and that was
the great harvest time, for the money
speculators, for they could buy bonds
dollar for dollar with greenbacks, while
at the same time they bought green
backs at a discount Of 180 per cent,
THAT is, they got $3.50 for one dollar in
gold).
The statement that the law could not
contract it tthe value Of the gold dollar)
ia proven to be false by the fact that
when the boasted specie resumption was
to take place in 1879, John Sherman,
"the great insncier," gave orders that
greenbaCks should be received for duties
on imports, and they at once went to
par with gold and have 81 continued to
the present time, proving conolusively
that the "fat" Of the government can
fix the value Of even paper money. This
was the fat of the secretary of the treas
ury which restored the greenbscks to
par against the decree Of congress which
placed the exception clause on them.
Just as soon as they were allowed to per
form the function Of gold the green
backs went to par. These sane green
backs, $346,0O0,OOO, which the people
would not allow to be destroyed, are a
standing menace to the gold-bug, and q
living argument that the credit Of the
government Is just as good in the form
Of treasury legal tender note, without
interest, as IN the form Of an interes
bearing bond. The one is the peopleI
money, the other is Shylook's tool with
which to rob the people.
Still further in regard TO gold, hC
asserts:
Congress does not fix it's value, for il
is worth as much in London as it is in
New York.
We have shown that it is from the
fact that gold is generally received az
money and made a standard, that it ID
worth the same everywhere, and not thst
it is standard because of it's intrinsic
value. Strip it Of oil legal support anC
it will no more be money than copper
aluminium, or any other metal II IS h'
fiat of the gold using nations th0t DGteI
gold money and nothing else.
Finally he winds up by saying:
France after the revolution tried fla
money and brought ruin-our CONT
mental currency was fiat Money and Il
bankrupted the countryside southern
confederscy adopted the fiat idea and
played the mischief.
Just like sll the arguments from thai
source, he makes no distinction in kinds
of paper money and no distinction be
tween solid government and no gov
ernmsnt at all. The French aSsignRtl
were not based on the credit Of the gov
ernment; the continental money and thu
southern scrip had no base to rest on
He does not tell us about the great sue
cess of France after the Franco German

or IL.
Then what becomes of the bOasted
assertion that mo act Of congress, no
stamp Of the mint, adds anything to the
value Of the gold dollarP If no act Of
any nation should say that gold should
be used as money, would it be money at
all? To ask the question is TO answer it
with the common people, but the tinan-
oiers must envelop 1t with q web Of mys-
terry, and they refuse to see. No man is
so blind as one that will not see.
II the credit Of the government can
add 35 cents Of value to the 65 cents Of
silver value and make it worth dollar
in gold, why can't it adde's cents more Of
credit and make paper dollar circulate
at par also? That is dangerous admis-
sion for the gold-bug tinanoier to make,
for the common people don't know any
better than to carry this proposition to
it's legitimate conclusion and ask the
government to give them money that
will always be the same whether OF gold,
silver, or paper.
Third-H there is any power in con-
gress to create value by law, that is, TO
give 25.8 grains of gold value which it
does not have In the market, congress
should 60 further and declare 10 grains
worth q dollar, and thus double the value
Of all the gold in the world. Follow out
the supposition still further and call one
grain instead of twenty-five zone dollar" "
and so enrich the nation. Go further
still and stamp paper with the "6Rt" Of
congress, and so make money out Of
rags!
The editors reasoning is good, but his
premises are false. Some one has said
that the difference between a madmRn
and a fool is, that the former reasons
correctly from a false basis, and the
latter reasons falsely from correct basis,
This reasoning, then, is that Of mRdmsn.
He assumes the very question in dispute
AS the logicians say, he begs the queS-
tion-thst gold has q natural value az
money; which | will explode by asking
another question: Is the law that de-
fines 25.8 grains Of gold to be a dollar, OF
Divine origin, or yet natural law which
has been discovered by the ingenuity OF
the "hnsnoiers OF the countryP" II 80,
l patiently await the proof, for l would
not do violence to either revelation OF
nature. But il it is neither, then it
must be statutory or "fRt," and il 30
10 grains could just as easily and right.
eously be dollar as 25.8 grains. Then
the dollar might be divided and 10 grains
or grain be made a dollar, and that is
just what has been done many times by
different nations.
So when we find where the origin Of
the dollar is, in the government "rst,
we can accept the conclusion the editor
reached in division, as being Legitimate
and logical, and demand that the gov
ernment give US money made Of rags,
skunk skins, or any other material Of the
the same "Aat" value, and stop this in
fernal gold speculation at the expense Of
the common laboring Glasses.
Fourth-Agsin, when the national
government began TO issue paper money,
began to stamp zone dollar" on q piece
of paper, gold went to q premium, so a
gold dollar was actually worth $3.50. The
law could not control it. The value Of
the gold dollar, that is, the gold in the
dollar, was fixed and is always fixed by
