CHEAP MONEY DELusloN.
False Doctrines Spread Abroad by Dem

False Doctrines Spread Abroad by Dema-
GcRues In Times Of Depression.
The cheap money delusion only -four
ishcs in time Of depression. These are
not times Of depression, MOI is there
that prospect ahead. In time Of depres-
sion demagogucs car always find q con-
stituency for the wrctched dclusion that
to make good times it is only necessary
for the government to set a lot If print
ing presses at work turning out paper
money or to set NIL the mints ut work
coming silver dollars. Somehow or 9th
er the idea prevails among the dupes of
the demagoguo that when the govern
mcnt has printed or coined money it is
going to make II present Of it to the peo-
pic. Nobody gets money in that way.
Money has to circulate before it can
get into peoples pockets and to make 1t
circulate there must be business, trad
ing, commercial activity, the invest
ment of capital, the opening Of new en-
terr1iscs, and before there can be such
commercial aud financial activity there
must be confidence in the future that
legislation will not destroy the value Of
Investments made. There must be an
assurance that when q dollar is let out
for use 1t will come back whole and not
clipped Of half It's value. In no other
way q people get money in their peck
cts. No government hos attempted such
q foolish thing as to give the people
money, and the mere manufacture O
money at tho minis would do nobody
any good.-St Joseph Herald.

Steadily I.esinx Ground.

Tho Hon. Tom L. Johnson Of Ohio.
who has taken tho trouble to inform
himself on the currency feeling in the
west. recently expressed the following
opinion:
Il look for a short. sharp fight be-
tween tho forces Of cheap money and
sound money and the inter defeat Of
the silvorites. Free silver people never
had the strength they boast Of. There
ia o good deal Of noise, it is true, but
when it comes to counting noses, they
are generally in the minority. The fact
is. each successive congress since tho
Fifty first shows d great falling of of
free silver followers. In the Fifty.second
congress there was a tie vote in the pop
ular house on the Bland bill, and this
was the zenith Of the silver craze. It's
nadir is in tho future. The improvement
in business conditions is not calculated
to support the claims of the silverites.
They have based their agitation mainly
on discomfort ~springing largely from
tho unemployed class, and now that
these are becoming fewer every day the
silver followers grow beautifully less"

silver Would Replace Gold.

Silver Would Replace Gold.
Question.-Would there be more mon
ey in the country with the free coinage
Of silver?
Answer.-There would at first be very
much less. owing to the withdrawal Of
gold. After values became adjusted to the
silver basis silver would be coined here
as it is in Mexico. There would be no de-
mand for silver on account Of its coin
age, nor would it then go up in price,
because silver bullion would be worth
the same after coinage as before, just
as gold Is now. Men would SOW and
reap and buy and sell as they do now.
Whoever got o silver dollar would have
to work for it as he must now work.
Our stock Of money would be less eff
cient because we would MOI have the
standard Of the leading civilized ma
lions, and our money would have ia
price III gold, fuctuating from day to
day, as is nov the case with the money
Of Mexico, Japan, China and other
countries. To understand the result we
have but to study the conditions found
among the silver using nations.--R
