THE CHEAP MONEY LESSON.

1t seems necessary for each genera
ton to learn its own lessons. Each
appears unable to profit by the expe-
rience of its predecessors in many
kinds of matters. Thus the cheap
money lesson appears to be unlesrned
by the present generation, although
many past generations. in different
countries, have experimental with
cheap money, AMI always with the
same general effect. Every Nation
that has attempted. on large scale,
to make money from cheap materials
and to stamp uncovered paper or cheap
metals into the same denominations
formerly used only with full value
money metals, has not only failed to
keep the cheap money on par with
the good but has gone on making
more and more money until its cheap
money has become worthless. Indus
t1ial depression and panic have fol-
lowed, until confidence has been re-
stored by the establishment of bet
ter monetary system.
Each generation of each Nation will
not believe that fire will burn until it
has stuck it's tingersinto the fiat money
fire. The present generation in the
United States is playing with this fire
as carelessly as if preceding genera
lions had not been burned by it.
Texas had an experience OF her own
before she became one of the United
States. The following quotation from
Gouge's Fiscal History of Texas we'll
describes the result:
s.In all, from first to last IS55 to
1S4D, the amount of notes, bills,
drafts, bonds, etc, issued by the
Treasury Of the Republic of Texas.
and serving to greater or less extent
as circulating Medium amounted
to $13, 3lS, 145. or at the rate of more
than two hundred and sixty dollars
per head Of the entire population. If
paper issues serving as money could
have made a people rich, the
Texans ought to have been
the richest people in the uni
verse. In January, 1889, Texas trea-
sury notes were worth no more than
forty cents on the dollar; in the
spring of 1889 they were worth thirty
seven and half cents; in 1871, from
twelve to fifteen cents, and in 1912 it
required, in the characteristic Ian
gage OF the times, fifteen dollars in
treasury notes to buy three glasses of
brandy and water without sugar.
By this time there was little circulat-
ing medium of any kind in Texas, but
this was no great calamity, as the
people had but little left to circulate.
The evils the system did were i'm
mense, and such as for which, even
were it so disposed, the Government
could afford no compensation to the
sufferers.

The pretense that this country could
by adopting free coinage at 16 to l
force the rest of the world into an in
ternational agreement to coin silver
at that ration, is only blind for the
schemes Of the silver standard advo-
Gates. The gradual adoption of all
the progressive and enlightened Ma
tions of the single gold standard was
due to their conviction that the COM
mercisl value of silver could not be
maintained at its coinage ratio to gold.
After deliberately abandoning silver
because of their belief in the superior
ity of gold, it is hardly probable that
the gold using countries would now
go back to their rejected standard.

The Silver Swindle.

If buy coat for SO, that means
that the other man buys $40 for q
coat. Democrats don't believe that
Government ought to interfere to
make me buy one coat when I would
prefer to buy another, and no honest
man believes that I ought to be made
to accept coat different from the one
Ihave bought. Will some free silver man
explain how it is any more honest to
make me contract for one kind of dol
lars when I would prefer another kind,
or to make me take silver dollars when
I have contracted for gold ones9 If
it is swindling for you to cheat me ut
the coat end OF the trade, is it any
less dishonest for me to swindls you
at the money end Of the transaction2

The Richest Country.

''That country which has the most
metallic money is always the richest
country" is the claim of leading free
coinage organ. This idea is a favorite
argument with the fifty-cent-dollar
advocates. and as everybody wishes to
be rich it is no wonder that the scheme
for coming all the silver in the world
should prove attractive, But there
is the serious objection to this silver
tie theory that the quantity of money
has nothing to do with the real wealth
of country. The true test OF Ma
tons wealth is the standard of living
of its people; their houses, furniture.
clothes, food, means of travel and
transportation, books, pictures, etc.
A country in which people are well
housed, fed and clothed. have short
hours of labor and are able to provide
themselves with amusements and lux
uries in which there are many fac
tories, mills, railroads. steamboats,,
schools, ETC., is rich, although it may
have very little gold or silver. In
fact, since the production of those
metals requires the expenditure OF .
large amount of labor which might be
more profitably devoted to increasing
the kinds of wealth referred to above,
under otherwise similar conditions
the country which has large stock
of metallic money is so much poorer
than one which has but little. 1t 10
certain that wealth in form in which
it cannot be used to crafty some need
or desire of its owners is greatly IN
ferior to the more serviceable kinds OF
wealth. "
1t may be said that since property
is measured in money country with
great deal Of property needs large
amount of money in order to facilitate
the exchange of wealth. Money 10
certainly necessary for this purpose,
but in civilized society only a very
small quantity of metallic money
serves as a basis for system OF
credits by which an enormous volume
of business is carried on. The ides
that there must be as much metallic
money as there is wealth is like say
ing that there must be as many bushel
measures as there are bushels of grain
As farmer who should spend his time
making hundreds of measures for his
own use would be poorer for his pains,
so an attempt to get richer by increas-
ing the quantity of our measure OF
values, would only be a waste OF
human effort. Instead of trying to
coin more metal, the protested money
reformers should assist in establishing
a currency system so sound that 1t
would be firmly based on confidence
and would require the least possible
coin basis.

A curious argument for the destruc-
ton of our present sound financial
system is the statement that If all the
gold money in the world were melted
in the form of cube, it would be only
twenty-five feet in diameter. Sup
pose this estimate is correct, what
does it prove? Nothing more than
that gold represents a great deal Of
value in very small compass. Accord
ing to silverite reasoning the pro-
Queer OF pig iron should complain of
the small bulk of the worlds stock of
silver as compared with its iron, and
demand the free coinage of his more
abundant metal.
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1895-08-23

To repeated requests by the advo-
Gates of the gold standard that the
free coinage agitators should furnish
some proof of their assertion that
there is not gold enough in the world
to serve as a standard of value, the
silverites have given no reply. They
have not proved their claim of scar
city of gold, because they do not know
to what extent the use Of credit
money is doing away with the neces-
sity of gold coin. Under a proper
banking and system of paper currency
there is no doubt but that there is far
more gold in the world than can be
proftably used as money.

Our Monetary Nee Is.

"What our people need is good
credit. good money, good principles
and sound business sense. Visionary
schemes and debased money never yet
made a Nation prosperous. The quail
lty of the money used in any country
is far more important than the guam
tity. The laws should be drawn to
protect the men who earn money. A
man who works faithfully and lives on
his daily earnings should never be
sacrificed for the benefit Of men who
live on what they borrow. Hon. Il.

SMALL CHANGE.

The alleged fact that seventy-five
per cent. of the people of the world
use silver money exclusively is no
reason why this country should adopt
the silver standard. The 400, 600, 600
Chinese and 200, 900, ZOO Hindoos are
not SO far above US in civiliz alton that
we should initiate them. 1t numbers
are to rule, why do not the silverites
cultivate pigtails and live on rice
diet.
