The Malaria of Greenbackism, Fiat Money
and Free Silverism Dispelled-A Few
Plain Questions Plainly Answered-Food
For the Thoughtful.
The SOcratic method of exposing hum
bugs and shams is especially adapted to
dlSpel the malaria of greenbackism,
Hat moneyism and free silverism con-
tlnually arising from the swamps of ig-
norance and dishonesty. That Mr. Fred
Perry Powers has made good use Of this
method will be clear to all who read
the following questions and answers
concerning "Fiat Money and Legal Ten
der taken from his "a Financial Cate
chlSm, published by the Sound Cur
rency Committee of SO William street,
New York city.
Are paper representatives of merchan-
disc just as good for monetary use as
merchandise itself?
They are better, because lighter and
more convenient, if every person is sure
that the promise on them will be kept
III full and at all times
Besides merchandise and promises to
pay merchandise is there any other kind
of money?
Yes, fat money, which is piece of
paper or other thing of insignificant val
ne ON which is stamped statement that
1t Is so much money.
Where does it get its name?
From the fact that "fiat" means "let
There be, " and is the expression attrib-
uted to the Creator when he made the
universe out of nothing
Can any human being Or government
create anything?
1t cannot.
Why is not "fiat" money successful?
Because, as President Lincoln said,
you can fool some people all the time
ana all the people some of the time,
out you can't fool all the people all the
time
But why shouldn't it succeed?
because men will not give their labor
or goods for nothing.
Couldn't people be brought to use
fiat" money?
he'lSOn and common sense are against
Az ana experience proves that they
won't Besides, if you were asked to fix
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1895-06-21

your wages or prices in ''rallods" how
many would you charge?
dom know how much "rallod" is
Well, you know as much about the
valuc of "rallod" as you would about
the value of dollar if it were not a
specific quantity of something.
Can congress determine how many
yards of cloth or bushels of grain an
ounce of gold or of silver shall equal
in value?
1t cannot.
What is to preventative constitution?
Not the constitution of the United
States, but the constitution of man.
Congress can no more regulate the rela-
tive intensities of human desire than it
can regulate the length of day Or night.
If congress can make 20. s grains Of
gold dollar, can it not make a piece of
paper inches by dollar?
Yes, but that kind of a dollar would
not buy anything
Cannot congress pass legal tender
act?
Oh yes, if man in the past has loan
ed 81 900 congress can say that the debt
or is discharged when he offers 1000
worthless fiat" dollars,
Ism that making "5at" dollars just
as good as any other kind of dollars?
1t is so far as giving the debtor the
81 900 that he ought topay his creditor,
but it does not help man to buy food
and clothes, because the merchant will
raise his prices for awhile and finally
refuse to sell at all
What would the merchant do then?
Keep his goods till he found custom
ers who would barter their merchandise
for his.
Are not legal tender acts passed for
the benefit of the common people?
Not much. They are passed by the
men who issue bad money to try to force
it into circulation. Good money will go
of itself.
Give an illustration.
When the Russian government was
using marten skins, which had value
as money in it's eastern dominions, got
short of funds, as governments are apt
to, and it cut off the scalps of the mar
tens and compelled the people whom it
owed for labor or material to take
scalp for whole skin.
By whom have cheap moneys always
been introduced?
By smart tinanciers and impecunious
kings.
What is the earliest example?

TWAS one of the crimes of Dionysius,

twas one Of the crimes Of Dionysius,
tyrant Of Syracuse, about 400 B. G..
that as Aristotle says: "When he was
short Of money, he coined some tin, and
having convened an assembly he spoke
much on behalf Of the new coinage, and
they passed decree, even against their
will, that each would consider what he
should take Of it as silver and not as q
baser metal.
Mention modern instance
Emir Abdullah coined quantity Of
copper cartridges which the Egyptian
troops left when they evacuated Harar
in 1886 and ordered the brokers to ex-
change them at the rate Of one silver
thaler for q coppers-that is, he estab-
lished mint ratio With much denun-
citation Of the sin Of usury and Of the
crimes Of the money power" the emir
commanded the people to receive the
coppers under penalty Of fogging and
imprisonment.
What was the result?
A German traveller who visited the
town soon after this says the conse-
quence was tumble in the value Of all
property; the Gallas Of the neighboring
district kept away from the market and
this caused distress and embarrassment.
Did not the cheap money raise prices
and boom business?
On the contrary, silver disappeared
and trade was checked
If the people thought the government
would not be able to redeem its promis-
sorry notes in gold, would it make any
difference in their treatment Of the diff
ferent kinds of currency?
1t would indeed.
Has it ever happened?
Several times when it seemed likely
that congress would pass bill for the
free coinage Of silver, people who held
the promissory notes of the government
got them redeemed in gold and put the
gold away.
Did anything of that kind happen in
1898?
Early that year the stock of gold in
the treasury was so low that people
were afraid it wouldn't hold out, and
banks or individuals who held "Sher-
man" notes, or greenbacks, turned them
into gold at the treasury.

Bright's
Disease

means change in the Kidneys from
healthy tissue to fat. The symptoms
are 80 obscure that they may not be
noticed until too late. The presence
of albumen in the urine, Backache and
retention of urine are symptoms of
disease. If albumen is present, it will
show if small quantity of urine be
heated to the boiling point in a silver
spoon, when white curdy fakes will
appear; ora few drops of vinegar
and a second heating may discover the
albumen. Merely white cloud may
show under the test--that indicates
the early stage when the disease may
be cured. Buker's Kidney Pills if
taken at this time will reduce infan-
nation and help the Kidneys to their
normal state. If the urine shows a
change, don't neglect the symptom.
The pills cost so cents at the drug
gists.
