JOHN J, INGALLS, ON GOLD,
Says It Is the Most TreacherOus and Cow
ardlY of All Metals.

Says 1t Is the Most Treacherous and Cow.
ardly of All Metals.
No enduring fabric Of national
prosperity can be builded on gold.
Gold is the money Of monarchs.
Kings covet it. The exchanges of
nations are affected by it. Its tend
ency is to accumulate in vast
masses in the commercial centers
and to move from kingdom to king
dom in such volumes as to unsettle
values and stir up the finances of
the world. It is the instrument of
gamblers and spectators and the
ideal of the miser and thief. The
object Of SO much alteration, it be-
comes naughty and sensitive, and
shrinks at the approach Of danger,
and whenever it is most needed it
always disappears at the slightest
alarm. It begins to look for refuge.
It flies through the nations at war
to the nations at peace.
War ma es it a fugitive. No peo-
pie in a great emergency ever found
a faithful ally in gold. It is the
most cowardly and treacherous of
all metals. It makes no treaty that
it does not break. It has no friends
whom it does not sooner Or later
betray. Armies and navics are not
maintained by gold. In time OF
panic and calamity, shipwreck and
disaster, it becomes the chief agent
ind minister Of ruin. No nation
ever fought a great war by the aid
Of gold. On the contrary, in the
crisis of greatest peril it becomes
an enemy more potent than tho foe
in the field. But when the battle is
won and peace has been secured,
gold reappcars and claims tho fruits
Of victory.-John James ingalls,.
