tily, fearful that they will be out of

children with commendable good sense
and excellent taste. Their garments are

either condition is deplorable.
Through a prohibitory tariff we
should sustain and multiply our in
dustries, making everything we need
for ourselves, keeping up the price
of labor and retaining our gold at
home. Sugar, coffee, tea and other
like necessities we can buy of tropi-
cal countries where silver is accepted
in exchange. Europe needs our sta
pie products, she must be fed, she
wants our cotton, and as we take her
gold in exchange it will flow out to
the people through the channels of
industries revivifed by the very pol
icy that brings the gold. Retaining

B1METAI11sM FOR AMERICA.

If Europe adopts a financial pol
icy favorable to the rich and discrim-
mating against the poor, it is all the
more imperative that America re-
verses the conditions, remaining
faithful to the masses upon whom
she depends for protection and sup
port. Ours is a government by and
for the people and this principle
should be recognized and inculeated
in monetary as in other legislation,
paying no heed to the dictation of
foreign governments even though
sustained and promulgated by few
of our own rich men. We should
not be co-erced into accepting mon
etary standards unfavorable to the
Of eur country, and if the
great Nations of Europe reject BIZ
it is still the duty Of the
Unitgd States to sustain it alone.

RANGED. That many members OF
Congress, voting for and advocating
she measure did not see its far-reach-
Ing and depressing effects is now
made known through their printed
in the daily press.
RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.
Another step in this same direc-
ton was taken when in 1875 Con
oress passed an act for the resump-
ton of specie payments. It pro
vided that the Secretary Of the
Treasury should redeem in coin all
legal tender notes outstanding on
their presentation. This was another
effort Of the gold holders to increase
the value Of that metal, for through
this measure the paper circulation
was removed from the hands of the
government and intrusted to the
banks, secured by Government
bonds payable in gold. Thus silver
again was to form a minimum part
of the circulation and gold was to
constitute the basis of all monetary
;ssna Rut this enactment was abol-
ished in 1873, before its effects be-
came clearly manifest when the Sec
retary of the Treasury was ordered
to pay out again all such notes re-
deemed. This kept them in circula-
ton to the advantage of the people,
and the business of the country did
not feel the full results Of the cur
tallment of currency.
THE SHERMAN COMPROMISE
was an effort to check the moneyed
interest and to sustain and protect
the people but the act itself defeats
its very purpose by crippling silver
in limiting the amount of coinage,
creating a feeling of distrust lest
Congress would not sustain the act
in future legislation. The gold men,
alert to their own interest, are vio-
lently struggling to intensity the
lack of confidence boarding and lock-
ing up, and Withholding their own
money from investment; crying dis
aster and endeavoring to bring it
on. They are hoping thus to infu'
enee legislation, trying to force Con-
gress to pass enactments favorable
TO themselves. They want the Sher-
nan law repealed because they knew
hat no other measure looking to
he reconciliation of silver will be
passed by Congress soon. The cap
;alists, the bankers and the money
enders generally favor the substitu-
ion of the single for the double stan
lard. AS to their motive, as much |
S they may argue against it, its un-
prompting is selfshness,
loulded by the inevitable trend of
uman nature. A gold standard

MONEY
Milford chronicle., 1893-10-06
MONEY

is documentary promise to supply
so much labor on demand ISSUED by
the government and sustained by the
accumulated labor (wealth) Of the
land. The issue may be made upon
paper or metal, for its value is de-
pendent solely upon the capacity of
the government to fulfill its prom
ises. The silver dollar containing
4l2 grains of the metal is accepted
everywhere in America as readily as
the gold coin of the same denomi-
nation, although its value as bullion
is but seventy cents, and the trade
dollar, containing 42O grains of sill
yer, eight grains more, is declined
by the people because it is not sus-
tanned by the promises of the gov
eminent. It's value is dependent
upon the amount of metal it contains
IIlh9ad nothing else. If money has in
trinsic value how account for such a
fact?
Gold has little real value; it serves
neither for the purpose of food, cloth
ing or shelter; it has less value than
any of the so-called baser metals,
for there is not single absolutely
useful purpose for which it is en-
ployed but that some other material
can better take its place. People in
ignorance have given it fictitious
value because it has aneiently been
employed as a medium of exchange.
Demonetize it and it will be as little
desired or sought after as any other
metal. Gold coin has value just as
pepper money has value, through con-
fdence in the capacity of the govern
ment to give for it labor in return.
This is daily illustrated in the busi-
ness transactions Of individuals. A
man Of wealth (aocumulated labor) |
issues promissory notes to the ex-
tent Of thousands ofdollars and they
are accepted in lieu of money, while
another who is absolutely without
accumulations cannot obtain a dol
lar, days work, in exchange for
his promises to pay. And SO it is
with governments, rich in accumula-
lions, (houses, factories, improved
lands, railroads, ETC., the effects Of
Iabor) their promises to pay are ac-
septed, whether issued upon paper,
silver or gold.
