A sBimetallic" Papers BIunder.

The Philadelphia Manufacturer ex-
presses common Populist error when
it says: ''It is exactly true that the
commercial prosperity of country
depends upon the presence of metallic
money in large abundance. Instead
of being true this statement is exactly
the reverse of the facts. The produc-
tion, distribution and consumption of
large quantities of goods. which is
what is meant by commercial pros
perity, depends on the honesty, in
dustry and intelligence of the people
of country; on the natural condi-
tions of soil, climate, etc. and on the
mineral and other resources which
furnish the raw materials for manu-
featured goods. The presence of
metals which will serve as a measure
of values. and means for exchanging
goods more readily than by barter,
will be OF material aid in the general
machinery of industry and commerce.
But to say that commercial prosperity
depends on the means of lessening the
friction of exchange is equivalent, to
use an illustration from ex-Secretary
of the Treasury Fairchild, to saying
that the transportation of goods de-
ponds on the amount of grease used
on car or cart axles. Does the Manu-
facturer pretend that with large
abundance of metallic money Iceland
or Greenland would be prosperous.
while without such money Holland
would lie poverty stricken country?
