So, far from that, it has come to stay
and even John Sherman gives in his ad-
hesion to it. No, no, Mr.. Cleveland, we
have outgrown the antiqusted ideas Of
our far-bsck ancestry as to money and
money material. We are no longer CROP
ing in the dull light OF the middle ages
when only material things were adopted
to our comprehension. 1t was we'll to
write Scripture in sllegories and parallels
for the minds Of men were only partially
developed then, and they could only
comprehend spiritual things by repre-
senting them in pictures and stories, like
the doves and the Lazarus scene and the
oId-fashioned hell; each of which Is q
representation Of important Biblical
truths and religious instruction. No
thoughtful person will ridicule the devo-
tion of men IN the presence of the Cross
or the Importance given the Virgin Mary
by thousands of Christians. These rep
resent the spiritual essence OF their re-
ligion, through more learned and better
developed minds do not need these soces-
sories or aids to devotion and spiritual
worship. Men properly developed (ss
the American people generally consider
themselves) will make no difference be-
tween the head of Washington whether
on paper or on coin. If they haven't
reached that stage, they are unfit to run
republican government and had better
give up the undertaking, as it will GER
tainly prove a failure in their hands.
The moral of which is, "that the won
derful improvements that have took
place in agriculture, commerce, manu-
facturss, and transportation, in the arts
and sciences, and in all the industries Of
life, point clearly to new development
and new use of some more suitable
commodity than the metals to be used
as money to effect the vast exchanges
de msnded by the immense commerce
nd advanced civilization Of the sge"
And yet have not given the author
tiles promised, but must again defer
them to another day.

they dominate this congress; but it will
be after l have entered my protest and
sounded the alarm to the country. If
the managers of the finances Of France
had treated her silver coinage as our
officials have ours, she would have been
prostrated financially at the feet of Eng
land and Germany now, instead of be-
ing the most prosperous country on the
continent. Our policy has been
that of Me0Of guarding the lamb, the
spider the fB or the hank the spGrr0aOS" )"
No wonder honest indignation boiled
over as he witnessed the abject manner
that our government (of both parties)
has played into the hands Of the Dutch
and English bondholders as we'll as of
our own financial syndicates, combines
and corporations; and his patriotism got
the better Of his psrtisRnship, as it
should. And so of Col. Plumb on the
other side of the house. Session after
session he begged and plead and expos
tulsted in behalf Of the people, but in
vain. "Our finance committee, said he,
"ds heretofore and GyooayS, does not mean
that any legislation adding to the vol
ume of the currency or even that any
measure replacing the currency that has
been taken from the people, shall be
adopted. That committee intends to
obstruct and prevent anything of this
kind.
That committee, with all the de-
termination of its determined chairman
and all the determination OF the late
secretary Of the treasury (Mr. Sherman),
now one Of it's members, aOjh all tie de-
termination of thGt influence oOhjch has
controlled the financial policy Of tie coun-
try for the last thirty gears and controls 1t
yet, the control of the b0RdbOLderS and
money lenders, has reSoIVed that nothing
shall be done h0t tOsH operate to make the
burdens of the people lighter by increasing
the volume Of currency or even by pre-
venting further contraction" And thus
q patriot discharged his duty. How diff
ferent from the mousing, carping, one
horse politician.
But now to the main question. Some
points of difference are readily solved
and established by authority, when that
authority Is Of very high repute and it's
dictum sccords with common sense, facts
and the light of history. For example,
when President Madison, the leading
light in the continental convention of
1887, declares, as in his message of 1916,
shat for the interests of the community
as we'll as for the purposes of the treas
ury, it is essential that the nation pos
ssss currency Of equal value, credit and
use wherever it may circulate, and that
the constitution has entrusted congress
exclusively with the power of creating
and regulating such a currency" that

four eagles when the contract was made.
And this, not because of the intrinsic 0GIae
of the coin, but because of its legal OGIue.
The eagles coined after 1884 were not
money until they 1Oere authorized By IGO,
and had they been coined before without
a law fixing their legal value, they could
no more have paid debt than uncoined
bullion or wheat or cotton"
Thus, when we get at the philosophy Of
the question, it is very readily compre-
hended and easily understood. All
money Of every description, whether Of
metal or paper, is government money.
And why it should be deemed less safe
or considered less reliable when issued
directly by government to the people
than through an authorized agent, like
bank, wound trouble anyone to tell.
Or why, il issued direct by government,
it should be deemed any better secured
by bond Of the government, which is
only government obligation or promise,
than If based on a promise OF the gov
ernment to pay or receive written on the
bill itself, would still more trouble one
to explain. AS to the allegation that
go vernment paper has often failed, l
answer that it has not failed once where
bank paper has ten times, in the history
of this country, and hasn't entailed a loss
of one dollar on the people W here bank
paper has one hundred, as | shall hereafter
show. Besides, that objection applies
with equal or greater force to every in
vention and improvement we now enjoy,
since every one had failed repeatedly till
it finally succeeded. Steam navigation
and electricity are famous examples.
And how slow mankind were to adopt
coal and coal oil as fuel and in the arts
long after they were known. And more
appropriate still, hadn't republican gov
ernmenG repeatedly failed when our
fathers adopted itP That was q fatal
objection with Alexander Hamilton and
those who relied solely upon history to
guide them, without regard to changed
circumstances and the condition Of man.
kind and of those in particular to whom
it was proposed to apply it. Just so
with money. Consider the changed cir
cumstancss of the case. With semi
bsrbarous or an unenlightened, unrehec-
tive aud inconsiderate people, and espe-
cially under an unstable and shifting gov
ernment, nothing would be deemed and
accepted as money but what they could
see or feel or would jingle in the pocket.
But when they came to understand the
Office of money-that it is mere tool or
instrument with which to pay debts and
Of no o5her consequence, use or impor-
tsncs, and that o piece Of paper guarsn-
teed by government that would fulfill
this purpose and with which they could
pay all taxes and all debts, and which is
as good as the government which repre-
sents all things and all values under its
dominion, why the dullest man and
woman soon comes to understand all this
and after little accepts the paper dol
lar as readily as coin. And our people
haven't to learn this lesson. They have
already learned it through the use of the
greenback with which they are familiar
and perfectly satisfied. l remember full
well the first advent Of the greenback
and the distrust Of it, bred of ssper-
