SENSELESS TWADDLE.

The Fiat OF the People. Expressed i'm Coin
age Laws, Gives to Gold and silver an
Artificial Value.
The CourierJournal publishes this
morning a communication from friend
in Missouri ON free coinage and legal
tender We think, too, that all of us,
that is, almost all of us, want an hon
est dollar a dollar of full value at all
times. That much admitted we have
only to determine how we can secure
such dollar. There is not much diff
ference of opinion between the Courier
Journal and this correspondent In
deed, it is confined to one point. He
contends that gold dollar is gold
dollar because congress has said
so, and that when congress says
4l2.5 grains of silver constitute silver
dollar it will be worth 100 cents.
We think not. The fat of congress
does not make % grains of gold worth
81. The market price determines the
value of both metals. The markets,
and not congress, control. Congress
can no more fix by its fat the price of
silver than ii can the price of wheat or
OF cotton.-Louisville Courier-Journ
Compare the above senseless twaddle
with the following extract from the
speech of Senator Jones, of Nevada. be-
fore the international monetary com
mission:
IF we are TO rely upon gold alone for
money the world must he prepared for
a period of long enduring distress and
disturbance. But why should we RELY
on gold? Its prestige comes from the
general belief that its value as money
Is derived from its value as commodity
in the market. The fact that the Bank
of England, under the requirement OF
its charter, always gives 43 It's 9d for
an ounce of the metal. and that it can
nowhere else be got for less, is taken
to be demonstration that the demand
for gold as commodity determines the
value of Jhe metal as money.
The annual yield from the mines be
ing about $1OO, ,OO0, 600, and the demand
for the metal In the arts about Se5, ,OOo,-

find floating about this item:
THE government of Victoria has
taken long step toward nationalism
in decision to concentrate all savings
banks into one system and attach them
to the postal savings banks"
While from the Chicago Mail clip as
follows:
THE government of New South
Wales has thrown up the sponge in re-
gard to gold and proclaimed bank notes
legal tender currency as the only way
out of the financial stringency there.
From gold to fat money at one jump is
distinctively Kangaroo performance
Putting this and that together, con-
clude that Australia is to have a sys-
tenn of governmental or peoples banks,
which being the case, the notes or bills
issued by them, such notes or bills be-
ing given the legal tender quality or
money function, would be, as the Chi
cago Times puts it, fat Or absolute pa
per money.
AS recently as April 90 bank deposit
ors in London, England, were paid in
terest at the rate of only one per cent,
while borrowers were charged but tWo
per cent and this under private bank
ing system. If we could establish a
system of governmental banks of de-
posit, exchange and loan, and guaran-
tee to depositors absolute security, such
depositors would be satisfied with one
per cent, while borrowers could obtain
money at two per cent and the bank
ing system would be self-supporting
and entail no tax upon the people
Then, if these banks were given the
power, in case of run, or an extraor-
dinary demand for money, to issue
United States certificates of deposit pos
sessing the full legal tender quality,
such thing as panic would be an inn
possibility, while borrowers would
never be called upon to sacrifice their
property in order to raise money to paw
their Indebtedness to the banks

DEBTOR AND CREDITOR.

Give Us 9 Legal Tender Currency Main
tained In Circulation ut Given Amount

Some one speaking of the financial
problems now before the American
people. and, indeed, before the people
of the world. saws:
In adjusting by law the relations Of
gold and silver as money metals in
America care must be taken that the
present creditor does not receive for
MS dues cheaper money under new
system, and likewise that the debtor
does not have to pay his debt in cur
rency more valuable than the currency
in which he contracted to pay"
In the above is the gist of the finan-
clal question. So long as there is debt
and credit, the creditor will be con-
stantly striving to make the debt pay
ing medium more costly, that his debt
may be more valuable; and always be-
ing more powerful than the debtor. he
will generally succeed. The financial
legislation since the war has all tended
in this direction. 1t is more than twice
As hard to pay debts now as it was
from 1865 to 1878, and even later, and
those who had contracted debts pre-
vious to that time find themselves
loaded down with more than double
burden. All the schemes of contrac-
ton, including the demonetization of
silver, have thus been in the interest of
the creditor and against the interest of
the debtor
During all the time of the legislation
referred to the debtor scarcely uttered
a Mt hon h., Al
awares; he did not know what was to
be the effect of the legislation that
was to crush him. His protest was
heard only when the weight became
more than he could bear, and then
every bondholder, every mortgage
holder, every note holder, every pap
sucker, at once rose up to shout him
down as a calamity howler
All the debtor now utters is a feeble
demand for justice. He simply asks to
be permitted to pay his debt in the
money of the contract. To DENY him
that privilege is robbery.
What is needed more than all else in
money is stable currency, one whose
volume and power cannot be changed
by spectators and creditors, but which,
by the strong hand of government is
held the same for all, of like value this
year and next, SO that when a debt is
contracted the creditor may know what
he is to receive and the creditor what
he is to pay.
A legal tender currency issued by the
government and maintained in circula-
ton at given amount per capita is the
only system of money that will ever
meet this requirement.-Mt. Vernon
Qlls.) Progressive Farmer.

pay depositors the sum of 81, 100, 600. 600.
The system is all right so long as the
depositors do not ask for their money.
But if they do ask for it. the first man
out of every six or eight gets his money,
about one-third in gold. and unless he
is willing to buy the property of some
one who owes the banks. the banks can
collect no money to give the other five
or seven. In the meanwhile there il
no money in business channels and fail
ures multiply. george c. WARD.

The Kansas City Times is a very con-

While it is true that in each and every

Like the Dutchman's flea, the gold
basis, when you think you have your
thumb upon it. always proves an alibi
when you raise your thumb In the
absence of panic, it is called gold
basis and is dilated upon as being the
immovable rock upon which is built all

ment there is run upon a bank, or
banks, and a panic ensues, il changes
its name from gold basis to conf
dence" and is found to have folded its
tents and stolen away.
He who ever had any confidence in
the ability of the government to main
tain gold payments" is blooming
idiot. With only one hundred millions
of gold and unlimited liabilities. the
prospect for any such consunma ton

| liabilities" is used advisedly and is
none too strong. So long as a volume
of paper currency amounting 10 some
where about fve hundred millions can
be presented oyer and over again and
payment demanded in gold, and inter
est and dividend paying American in
vestments and securities are held by
foreign nations amounting TO anywhere
from six to ten billions, we are power
less to prevent the constant, steady
outflow of gold until the entire stock OF
the metal in the United States is ex-
hausted.
And with the banking institutions

better. The case stands about thus:

who refuse TO recognize its immutability fool
