DID GRRENBAOKs DEPREOIATE2
why Waste Time EndeaVOring to Ez-
plain That Which Never Happsned2V

SAAP oA@~e@
have lately been engaged in heated con-
tFOVersy over the money question, each OF
them Offering O0pi0us explanations % TO
why the gFeenback depreciated during the
war. WhereupOn Geo. @. Ward submits the
followingtO show that there was no such
depreciation
It appears to me that time and efforts
spent in an attempt to explain the cause
Of the supposed depreciation Of the
gresnback duripg the suspension Of
specie payments, psrtskeS very much Of
the nature of Stoves labor Lost" If it
should turn out that time and efforts
so spent are spent in an attempt to eX-
plain the cause OF an event that never
happened and to account for fact that
really never existed, then indeed would
the whole controversy resolve itself into
q new version Of "MuCh ado about moth
ing"
have always taken it for granted that
the popular opinion was correct and that
the greenback really did depreciSte in
purchasing power, as money, during the
period in question. presume that no
one has, or ever will question the Rsser-
tion that, as a legal tender in payment Of
debt, the greenbsck always performed
the function Of money and would cancel
q debt equally, dollar for dollar, with
gold. Not only is this true in fact, but q
long line OF legal decisions sustained
and enforced the legality Of the prso-
tice. Not only is this so, but the
debts that could be thus legally cam
Celled, dollar for dollar, with green.
backs, embraced in their category 0R
private debts, Of Gn kinds, all debts due
to the government, except duties upon
imports, and all debts due from the gov
eminent, except interest upon the public
debt. II Is not, then, in debt-psying
ability that the grsenbsck is said to have
deprecated, but in exchange value, or
purchasing power"
But did the grsenback 80 depreciAte
and how can we ascertain the facts in
the caseH Certainly not by comparing
its purchasing power with that Of gold
in the United States, because there was
no gold or silver money known to be In
the United States, from July l, 1862, TO
July /, 1872, except a limited quantity
upon the Pacific coast. The official
records and the reports Of the treasury
and mint departments show no gold at
Rll in the United States for the period
named, but say, in q foot note: add:
Specie iD circulation on Pacific coast
S25, 100000" On July /, 1873, the United
states tressurer's reports first begin to
show specie in this country, and on that
date there is shown Sl35,000,O00 in gold
and s6,149,S05 in silver. OF the gold,
less than sea, 100000 was. in the hands Of
the people, outside Of the treasury. For
eleven years gold entirely disappeared
from the channels Of trade and was not
used as money at all As q commodity,
its value in the United States became
greater than its monetary denomina-
tional value, and shall be able to prove
that, in the United States, it bore as
high premium in English gold money
as in Rreenback currency.
The reason'of this is not hard to find.
On July l, 1861, there was in the United
States Of both gold and silver but $780,

NoTE,-The export price of wheat in green
backs Is taken from statistics Of the United
States treasury department. The gold price of
wheat In England Is arrived at, by fiscal years.
by adding together the price for each success
siVe two calendar years, as given in the Gin
ctnnah Price Current, and taking half the
quotient as the price for the fiscal year. The
gold price In the United States Is found by
multiplying the greenback price by the value
in gold OF greenback dollar, as given in the
American Almanac. cannot account for the
discrepancy between the currency price with
freight added and the price in England. 1t
looks like q steal. The same discrepancy ap-
pears from 1880 to 1892.
A glance at the foregoing table will
prove the soundness Of my theory and
strength Of my position. The gold mono
msniacs, who are bowling for q gold
standard, because they want "world's
money" will doubtless be surprised to
find that our despised and hitherto dis.
graced greenback remained at par with
English gold money all the time from
1869 to 1880, in spite Of the fact 1t was
not only inconvertible, but also had the
exception clause on it's back. We must
not look to gold in the United States,
cornered and hoRrdad as it was by bank
ing shylocks and gold speculalors, il we
desire to fndR par standard with which
to compare the purchasing power of our
Greenbsck currency. Rather must we 20

was performing its normal functions as q
circulating medium and money Of &C.
count. Compared with that standard,
our greenbacks remained at par all
through the period OF suspension Of
specie payments. Compared with that
standard, United States gold was not
only premium as compared with green
back currency, but also as compared
with English gold money. This you
may prove by adding the gold price Of
wheat in New York to the freight from
New York to Liverpool and then COM
pairing IL with the gold price Of wheat in
England. The result viii be q most re-
markabls confirmation Of my theory.
The difference between the gold price in
the United States with freight added
and the gold price in England, will be
found to almost exactly cover the dis
crepancy which exists between the cur.
rency price, with freight added and the
price in England, pEas the average
premium quoted for the year upon gold
in the United States. Thus:

Inter Ocean, a: Senator voorhees,
did not spare the administration in his
speech Tuesday, and he made a new
charge against President Cleveland and
Secretary Hoke Smith when he said that
the attack upon the pensioners was in
spired by the eastern bankers because
they could not control the pension
money and get their percentages out of
it. This charge is not made sby a re-
publican, but by a leading democrat
who holds the responsible position Of
chairman OF the finance committee of
the United States senate. IL Senator
Voorhees, knew what he was talking
about, the opposition Of the admins
tration to the pensioners and its perse-
cution of old soldiers under the excuse of
fraudulent pensions is much meaner than
was at first supposed. 1t is easier to
pardon the acts Of a narrow minded
bigot than those OF a man who uses an
excuse to do a mean thing.

Imprisoned Miner. swans Out.

Fifty-eight miners dripping wet and
much the worse for q very singular and
remarkable experience underground,
crawled from the mouth Of the old slope
Of the Marshall mine and seemed to be
generally satisfied that they had been
able to find q way out. The men were
threatened with imprisonment, and but
for the old workings would have had a
siege.
The engine at the Marshall broke
down suddenly, stopping the cages about
the middle of the shaft, which is 200 feet
deep, and inprisoning all of the 80 men
at work. They had no way of exit with
the exception of walking a mile and q
half under ground to the old slope
which had very fortunately been CON
nected with the Marshall by an under.
ground tunnel about a year ago.
This they all set out to do, and upon
emerging from the mouth Of the old
slope they were very much drowned
out" from having been obliged to wade
and swim through water and mud four
to six feet deep. The experience Is said
to have been anything but pleasant
