From ID. W. Minshall of Indiana,

In a country like ours, where we have a
continent of land to subdue, towns and
cities TO build, roads to make, streams to
bridge, millions Of acres of new land tn
bring under cultivation and factories of all
KINDS to erect, is it any wondC that, amid
the thousands Of opportunities surround.
lhg rs to make money rapidly, we should
occasionally be caught going too fast?
Troubles like the present are more likely
to occur in a new and rapidly developing
country than in an old one, and they would
probably occur Under any system of finance,
although | think both our ridiculous tariff
aud silver legislation have aided in produc.
ing this one.
tempted by promises of large returns,
we have gone on multiplying roads and
factories until 10Y capacity to produce
from u clothespin to Il locomotive is nearly
twice us great as the consumptive demand.
We have thus converted too large a share
OF our active, operating capital into fixed
capital not available for debt paying pur
poses, and We are not going to rebound as
soon as congress repeats the Sherman law,
but several years will nave to be devoted to
IA rcadjustmeut of credits and values and

The causes which have been operating to
bring about the panic Of this summer are
various. Some of them can be traced back
for several years. Chief among them I'M
questionahly is the revelation which we
have now had that the purchase of silver
bullion at market rates and the issue of
treasury notes in payment therefor, which
may be and in fact must be redeemed in
gold il the credit IF the country is to he

time may come, if it is not already ut hand,
when the government would be unable to
meet its obligations in the most valuable
money.

something which has yet to be deter.

objection to the use of anything upon which
the government fixes its stamp, cNcrpting
the objections of Inconvenience possibly,
provided the people of this country and the
nations of Europe rs well had perfect con

to redeem its issues in what is regarded the
world over as the best money. There ought,
in fact, to DC no best money in the sense
that any money bearing the stamp of the
government is any better than any other.

Are we not bound to look after our own

inquire, What have other nations lone for
US that we should do so much for them?
If as a country we should come to u silver
basis and gold be quoted at a premium,
this, though deemed by some as a calami-
ty, might prove a great benefit. In 1873
England and Germany, followed by other
countries, to subserve their ends, changed
the unit of value from silver to gold. thereby
demonetizing one-half of the metallic cur
rency Of the world. Have we not had
enough in 20 years of this destructive ex-

silver as II unit of value? This would not
be an experiment, for it has served the test
OF thousands of years without bringing
financial calamity upon any nation.

stroy our credit abroad and foreigners
would not purchase our securities. Have
we as "A nation come to this? Must we de-

Hon. William L.. Grace,

From Our New York Correspondent
EX-Mayor William r. Grace of New
York, who has very important business re-
lations with South America and Europe,
said of bimetallism: Nobody objects, |
suppose, to the employment of silver as
money so long as there is certainty that a
dollars worth of silver represents a dollars
worth of gold not only in name, butt fact.
If the problem can be solved by which this
relation can be brought about and be
maintained not only in the United States,
but by the commercial nations of the world
on a common understanding, then there can
be no objection to bimetallism. Until this
is done the only safe policy is the honest
one, and that is in the United States the
maintenance of the purpose to redeem all
the obligations of the government in the
best money, which is gold. For this coun-
try to attempt to maintain without mutual
arrangement with other nations with which
our trade relations are SO great silver and
gold at a parity would certainly result in
financial distress in comparison with which
the present trouble is but as a summer
breeze to a winter hurricane"

Chicago,


am distinctly opposed to the purchase
of silver by the government and in favor
OF repeating what is generally known as the
Sherman act, but in place of this | am in
favor Of the free coinage of both silver and
gold. | am II bimctallist, but if we are to
have either gold or silver | prefer silver to
gold. Silver is the normal currency Of the
world. 1t is used by every inhabitant. man,
woman aud child. 1t is therefore the uni.
versal currency. 1t il also an absolute ne.
cessity, for 1t enters into all the small trans.
actions of life.
These small transactions in the aggregate
are the basis Of commerce. 1t is therefore
the peoples currency, while, on the other
hand, gold is only local; it is not universal:
it is but Il higher expression of value than
silver, convenient, but not a necessity. 1t
is the most convenient for the settling Of
balances, and it is truly the bankers cur
rcncy, not the currency of the people. Both
are useful. The one is m aid to the other.
Since the demonstration of silver ia 1873
the value of gold has been advanced to
such an extent as to proencc almost a pan
ic, the debtor classes severely suffering.
One of the questions which confront us
at the present time is, Has gold advanced
or has silver fallen? 1t is IA pertinent ques-
ton. What makes the value of goldY" Is
it not simply law? BY the force Of law,
~grcenbacks, not worth the paper on which
they are written, become u lawful tender
for the payment Of debts. 1t is difficult to
ascertain the bullion value of gold, when
it is arbitrarily fixed by law, and one he.
comes weary Of the slang term which is
universally used, Make Il dollars worth
Of silver equal to a dollar of gold"
While the sherman act has in it much
good rs well It's evil, the export Of our gold
at the present time should not he wholly
charGcablr To it. Australia, which is said
to have gold currency, and South America,
II paper currency, are both in II worse finan-
cial condition than we are, and yet neither
has Il sherman act to repeal. Are we large
ly indebted for the export of gold TO the
fact that we are spending more money than
we earn" y householder who earns Sl0and

On excessive imports, the great mounts

amountS spent for support OF a large Amer

SO, and u trad" and commercial relations
with other countries being what they are,
the United States must be prepared to en-
able its citizens who are engaged in COM
merce to pay their obligations with that
money which is regarded the world over as
best. That means, of curse, that all people
in the United States should receive for their
services not deprecated but perfect money.
Whether silver be employed as money or
not, it is necessary in view of these rela-
tons that the money standard be that
which is recognized the world over AS the
perfect one, and that is gold. 1t Will be
time, however, 70 consider the future finan
cial policy OF the government when the i'm

purchasing clause, is met.

You ask what is the cause of the present
depression in business and the remedy.
Permit me to say business depressions and
reverSes are sure to come periodically, nc

money Is, nor does it matter what party is
III poWcr As the true cause is overtrading
and overeXtensiOn of credit. For an illus.
tration, no man was ever financially panic
stricken II he were out of debt. But they
are less disastrous when they do come when
we are doing business OF a sound financial
basis and when the government is in con.
troll of those in whom we have the greatest
confidence.
Our present condition, | think, has been
precipitated by a lack Of confidence on the
part of the world in the ability of our gov.
ernnlent to maintain its silver certificates
ut u parity with gold and the fear that we
would eventually do business on a silver
basis. Then 1T has been aggravated and in.
tensilied by the fear of sudden and radical
changes being made in our tariff system by
the present administration.
The first remedy is the repeal of the
clause in the Law known as the Sherman
act compelling the government to pur
chase u certain amount OF silver monthly.
Then let President Cleveland assure the
people that he will not encourage sudden
and extreme changes in our tariff system.
Our people seem to differ very widely in re.

fore. The reason for this is that the rich
discoveries of silver in this country were
made at Il time when we had suspended

From Major q. j.. Smith of New York.

Our business troubles are due to a col
lapse of credit. The collapse of credit is
due to the u~nsOundness of the credit sys-
TEN. Credit is a boiler which explodes
once in 10 years. Our financial system is
an inverted pyramid. Upon it's apex, which
serves as its foundation, is a lump of gold;
next above a larger mass, consisting
OF silver, ~greenbacks, national bank notes,
etc; then a heavy volume Of bank deposits,
upon which drafts are made for exchanges;
and, finally, at the topa great mass of debts
all payable in actual money. 1t is not
strange that business suffers occasionally
from II lack of confidence. a pyramid up
side down does not inspire confidence. So
long as business is lone on credit we shall
have commercial panics. y. j. SMITH.
