declined to swear to a complaint. She
stated that Emmett was penitent and
she was now reconciled to him.

The presence of an American COM

that the United States. hereafter, will
take a more determined stand in favor
of American republics as against

A Valuable Document.

The New York Reform Club has just
issued as No. II of its Sound Currency
series careful compendium Of the
coinage and currency legislation OF
the United States from 1902 down to
the present time. The work covers
three distinct fields-laws relating to
coinage, Government currency. and
bank currency respectively-and in
this pamphlet OF forty-eight pages is
contained the full text of all import
ant Federal legislation upon these
subjects.
The whole is carefully annotated
and provided with comprehensive
sum mary OF the coinage provisions
and an index. The result is a COM
pendulum vastly superior for the pur-
poses which it is designed to serve to
the bulky compilations issued from
the Government Printing Office, which
have heretofore been almost the only
source of such informatlon.
This document will enable every one
to see for himself whether the asser-
lions of the cheap money advocates in
regard to currency legislation are true
or mere inventions. The price Of this
number is five cents.

Silverites persist in their assertion
that our present standard of value is
maintained in the interest of the
sscreditor class" which they aliege
ssdraws wealth from idle money"
Any free coinage advocate who
is fortunate enough to have saved
either few or many dollars
knows very we'll that eide money"
yields no profits. The only pos
sible way in which money or capt.
tai can give any return, is through its
use in some form of productive en-
ployment. Coin or paper currency
does not produce interest Of itself, but
must be used to assist IN producing
more wealth. Since while thus en-
ployed it helps give work to idle men
and cheapens the cost of commodities,
it is evident that it's use Is benefit to
its possessor. No man is foolish
enough to borrow money merely to
keep it idle, and the claim OF the
cheap money advocates that "ldle
capital is robbing the producers OF
the country, is wholly a delusion.

Survival of the Fi!teSt.

The gold single standard advocates
can rest content. Gold will assuredly
always be the standard, until some
thing better in the commerce Of the
world is found. 1t matters not about
the free silver dodge of the politicians,
or the craze of those who follow them.
Law cannot change the result. The
gold standard will win in the end. If
it does not convince by the argument
of facts now presented to the public
mind, when tree silver coinage is let
loose, if it should ever be SO, it will
settle the destiny of silver as sub
sidiary coin for many years.
The people of the United States will
never submit to the condition OF labor
in Mexico for the benefit of rich mine
owners, however they may be induced
ct the start by false leaders to stick
their heads in the ratter. Nashville

WHATLEEAL TENDER CAN DO.

The journal OF the Knights OF La
Dor is an advocate of fiat money, and
ridicuIes the silverbugs who claim
that metal money is the only real
money. To prove its contention 1t
quotes from Senator Jones, OF Nevada,
who to be consistent should certainly
abandon his advocacy of the white
metal and favor the paper money OF
Coxey and PETER. In speech de-
Iivered in the Senate Senator Jones
said: 'It was misfortune to man
kind that the words promise to pay
we're ever printed on the greenback,
because 10y it millions were led
to believe that the value or ex-
changeable power resided in that
promise instead Of in the legal tender
power conferred upon it."
This is the illegal tender" fallacy in
its simplest form and serves to Judi
cate the intellectual confusion which
underlies the belief that Congress can
iegislate fifty cents worth Of additional
value into 37ls grains OF silver, or one
hundred cents of value into piece OF
paper. The first question which would
naturally be asked of Senator Jones is:
eff the legal tender power of the Gov
eminent can make paper valuable
without promise to pay, why should
we go to the expense OF mining silver
to serve as material for money! On
this point the logic is all on the side
of the greenbackers and against the
silverites. But the true answer is SIM
ply that the Nevada Senator's asser-
ton is false. We're it not for the Gov
ernment's promise to pay, which means
that the greenback will be accepted as
payment for some Government service,
that form of paper money would not
circulate at par, if at all. If green
backs were merely pieces Of paper
stamped ''legal tender for one dollar"
nc body would know how much zone
dollar" was worth, and it would be i'm
possible to use them as currency.
The legal tender power of the Gov
eminent cannot confer value on any
substance, though it can compel credi-
tors or sellers of goods to accept worth
less paper instead of honest money.
This, however, is not the creation OF
value, but merely stealing property
from its owners. Ifany civilized Gov
eminent should issue such illegal ten
ders" as Senator Jones and the X. of
L. journal consider the ideal money,
it would soon find that its whole mil
tary power could not force it into cir
culation. Governments have no Sc
cret stores of "value" which they can
spread out on paper or cheap silver.
Greenbacks circulate freely to a limit
ed extent because the Government is
always ready to accept i'll return for
Government services each dollar as
the equivalent of gold dollar. But
the legal tender quality has nothing to
do with the public willingness to re-
ceive greenbacks, which are good
money just so long as the Government
maintains them on a parity with gold,
and TO longer. The fiction Of legal
tender as affecting the value of money
is superstition which was responsible
for great deal of harmful financial
legislation, but fortunately it is rapid
ly dying out. 1t will totally disappear
as soon as the people understand that
value is not the creation Of law, but OF
human labor and intelligence.

WHY GOLD WOULD BE DRIVER
OUT.

The Journal of Agriculture, st.
Louis paper which is engaged in de-
ceiving the farmers with false pre-
lenses as to the alleged benefits OF
free silver, replies to the undeniable
statement of the sound money press
that free coinage at 16 to 1 would
drive out our gold: "But if it were to
drive out gold it would be because sill
yer were the better money. A good
article of fruit or any other product
generally drives out the inferior" It
is probable that the writer Of this
financial gem has never heard of the
Gresham law, or if he knows anything
about it imagines that it can be re-
pealed by free coinage Congress.
Although the operation of the natural
law which governs the circulation OF
money of different values was ex-
planned in England three hundred
years ago by Sir Thomas Gresham.
there still exists among the advocates
of cheap money nostrums profound
ignorance of its principles. Briefly
stated, the Gresham law is the recog-
milton of the universal experience OF
mankind that wherever full legal ten
der coins of the same nominal value.
out differing commercial value, are
issued in any country. the cheaper
and poorer money will always drive
out the better.
Why money should be an exception
to the rule that good article will
drive out an inferior, is due entirely
10 the legal tender quality which
Governments bestow on the metals OF
which money is made. If the United
States were to issuele legal tender eagles
containing only 200 grains of gold. it
is certain that the 232-grain eagles
would at once be driven out of circu-
.ation and either boarded or melted
down and sold as bullion. For nobody
would pay debts or buy goods with
the more valuable coin, when credit
DIS or sellers we're compelled by law
to accept the inferior. That this
would be the result will not be denied
by the silverites, who know that it
they had cheap and dear coins in their
pockets, they would, ii possible, use
the cheaper.
Exactly the same principle would
regulate the circulation of the inferior
low-priced silver dollars under freq
coinage, when the Government would
be under no obligation, as it is now,
to maintain our gold and silver coins
at parity. If this country were to
adopt unlimited free coinage, we should
have legal tender gold money worth
it's face as bullion, and legal tender
silver worth only half its nominal
coinage value. Just as cheap gold
coins would drive out those of better
quality, SO would the inferior silver
dollars force gold out of circulation.
This is not matter of theory but OF
fact. proved in every country which
has tried the experiment. And until
the silverites change human nature
SO that men will prefer to keep the
cheaper money and pay debts or buy
goods with the dearer, it will be i'm
possible to prevent free coinage re-
placing our superior gold currency
with one vastly inferior.

NOT AN sANEEICAN", MONEY
SYSTEM.

| Unab'e to give facts in support OF
their cheap currency scheme. the al.
yocates o. free coinage resort to ap-
oeals to National sentiment and urge
the adoption of the silver standard he
cause if is american" From the
frequency with which the demand for
this alleged "American" system ap-
pears in the writings and speeches OF
the silverites, it would seem that the
latter really believe that there can
be distinct basis of values for each
political division of the earth's snr-
face. This delusion has its origin IN
the fact that each country. as rule.
has its own system Of coinage. But
the names given to the various coins
of country have nothing to do with
the stan darl Of value of such coins,
and there are actually but two differ
ent measures OF values used by all
civilized people gold anl silver.
Since this is the case it can easily
be seen that there is not the slightest
basis for the pretence that silver is
more American metal than gold, or
that the adoption of the silver stand
ar |. which is the avowed object OF the
Is to shouters. would establish An
American money system. This
country produces both gold AMI sill
YER. so that there is no reason for
claiming that the white metal is Amer
lean, while the yellow is foreign, on
the ground of their respective origins.
And no silverite will pretend that
there is anvthlng peculiar about the
mining Of silver which makes it more
American than our gold.
Neither is there anv force in the
historical argument that because the
United States in 1872 adopted the
| Spanish milled dollar as one OF its
coins. silver then became the money
of this country. If this proves any,,
thing it is that the silver stan1ar1 is
ssSpanish" system. and therefore to
he rapu lated by all good Americans.
But it is not even Spanish. for the
silver standard was used thousands OF
wears ago by Oriental countries. and
is still used by the Hindoos, Chinese,
and other Eastern PEOPLES. If silver
can rightfullv be claimed by any
country it is India or China to which
it should be credited
AS neither present conditions nor
past history furnish any support to
the claims of silver az an "American"
standard of value, it is badly necessary
to point out that there can be no dis
tinctivelv American, German or
French financial system. Although
the banking and currency systems OF
each country in the world differ wide-'
ly in detail certain PRINCIPLES are
common to all. 1t would be just as
foolish for this country to refuse to
adopt the best money because some
other Nation was using the same kind.
as 1t would be for us to stop eating
fine wheat bread because the English
or Austrians were using that kind OF
bread. The fact that the most civil
lied and prosperous countries have
all, after long experience, adopted the
gold standard, is the best possible
reason why the United States should
have the same standard, instead OF
that used by Inl: China

Silver Dollars Oh Storage.

The following from the PhiIalel-
phia Times is excellent mental food
for our free anl unlimited coinage
friends:
ga count just taken shows that
there are now stored in the vaults OF
the United States Mint in this city
40, 500, 367-in rounl numbers, 3d.
00o, 000-of silver dollars. They are
packed away just as they were coinel
and all efforts to get them in clrcula-
ton have been futile. The people
do not want them. They are will
ing to take the paper certificates issued
to represent them, because these are
interchangeable with greenbacks and
greenbacks are redeemable in gold;
but the silver dollars themselves the
Government has to keep, issuing IN
their stead what is practically gold
currency of twice their value.
