Fiat Money.


Peter Cooper, OF New York, one of
the most intelligent and successful
business man America ever produced,
discussed the colonial money as fol-
lows:
'"These colonial notes being adopted
by all the colonies, led to an unexpect-
ed degree of property, so great that
when Franklin was brought before the
parliament of Great Britain and ques-
toned as to the cause of the wonder
full prosperity growing up in the colo
MES, he plainly stated that the cause
was the convenience they found in eX
changing their various forms of labor,
one with another by the paper money
which had been adopted; that this
paper money was not only used in the
payment of taxes, but in addition it
had been declared legal tender. 1t
rose two and three per cent above the
par of gold and silver, as everybody
preferred it's use. One of it's advan
tages was it's security against theft. as
it could be easily carried and hidden.
on account of its having no bulk, as all
kinds of specie must necessarily have.
After Franklin explained this to the
British government as the real cause
of prosperity, they Immediately passed
laws forbidding the payment OF taxes
in that money. This produced such
great Inconvenience and misery to the
people that it was the principal cause
of the revolution. A far greater rea'
son for a general uprising than the tea
paper money. : Congressman John

Why Coinage Was Stopped.

"We have been asked why the coin
age of the silver dollar was stopped in
1906" says the National Waterman
Quarterly. The following from the re-
port Of the director of the mint for
1893 explains that matter fully:
No issue of silver dollars was made
from the mint from 1905 to 1886, the
coinage having been suspended by the
direction of President Jefferson owing
to the fact that their bullion value
being greater than their face value,
they were purchased for export. The
order of suspension is contained in the
following letter, under date of May l.,
1906, addressed to the director of the
mint at Philadelphia, by James Madi-
son, secretary of state:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, May l, 1905.
Sir-In consequence of the represen-
tation from the director of the Bank
of the United States that considerable
purchases have been made of dollars
coined at the mint for the purpose of
exporting them, and as it is probable
further purchases and expectations
will be made the president directs that
all the silver to be coined at the mint
shall be of small denominations, so
that the value of the largest pieces
shall not exceed half dollar. l am

Results of Low Wages.

1.-The degradation of every nation
is measured accurately by the amount
of the products of its labor given in
exchange a dollar, or unit of their cur
rency. The poorest, meanest, most
servile and abject nation and people
always have, and always will, barter
the greatest amount of their products
for dollar.
2.-The civilization, grandeur, posi-
tion and social status of every nation
is guaged absolutely by the amount of
the necessities and comforts of life
that days labor will purchase for
it's people.
l bring as proof of these assertions
the wages received and position occu-
pied by the people of every nation on
earth. These propositions are too
plain to be disputed. Compare the
low wages of India, Egypt, China and
many other countries that might be
mentioned, with the wages paid for
labor in the United States, England,
France, Germany and other like coun-
tries, and then note the difference of
their standing among the nations OF
the world. The proof is absolute and

FRANKFORT, Ind, June 19.-The first
witness called in the Paris Greentown
bank embezzlement case was George Tay-
Tor. expert bookkeeper and amin of the
Columbia National Bank of Chicago. who
testified as to the financial condition of
Zimri Dwiggins, and as to Paris's indebt-
edness to said bank. The theory of the
prosecution appears that Zimri Dwiggins
was at the bottom OF the Greentown bank
failure, and that Paris and he were part
ners in the crime charged. 1t is claimed
that Dwiggins was the protector of a large
number of small banks located principally
in Indiana. the Greentown concern being
one of them. and that the Columtit Nation
al. of Chicago, was the great luminary
around which all the lesser lights revolved.
Mr.. Taylor testified that Dwiggins was in
still unpaid. The next witness was o. W..
Outland, receiver of the Greentown bank,
who testified that the assets turned over
to him were $20,0 600. He had collected all
the outstanding paper that was worth any,
thing. and had paid the depositors 20 cents
on the dollar. The greater part of this
afternoons session was taken up by at
torneys arguing for the admissibility Of
the evidence of the assignee OF the Russia
vile bank, the prosecution intending TO
prove by his testimony intent on the part
of the accused to pursue methods in the

their dealings in Sugar stock. was the first
witness before the Senate Sugar Trust
investigating committee to-day. He was
asked how his order slip containing Ran

Silsby said that an answer would proba-
bly, involve reference 10 a criminal pro-
ceeding. and that ne must decline TO re-
ply until he could consult his attorney. He
was excused temporarily. The inference Is
that the slip was stolen from his Office,
and Mr.. Silsby hesitated because OF the
charge that his answer would imply. He
said that Senator Ransom had not specu-
lated through his Office.
