BENTON'S ARGUMENT FOR COL

BENTON'S ARGUMENT FOR GOLD.
Louisville Couricr-Journal: ] have
been recently reading Benton's Thirty
Years View vol. l.. chapters 1O5 and
lis. in which he discusses the revival
of the gold currency on the passage of
the act of June 2S, 1884, advocating the
change of the ratio from Is to | to lG to
/. in which he gives the best reasons in
the world for the change. He shows
the act of 1892 fixing the ratio at Is to
| had UNDERMINED gold, and had ban
ishcd that metal from the country. He
says that hat act was the death war
rant to the gold currency: that the di-
minished circulation OF that coin soon
began to he observable. and in a few
years entirely disappeared. Mr.. Ben
ton laid down these propositions:
Il. 1t tgold) had an intrinsic value
which gave it currency all over the
world, to the full amount of that value,
without regard to laws or circumstan-
ccs.
"2. 1t had a uniformity of value,
which made it the safest standard of
the value of property which the wis
dom of man had ever yet discovered.
80. Its portability. which made it
easy for the traveller to carry it about
with him.
a. Its indistruCtibility. which made
it the safest money that people could
keep in their houses.
"5. It's inherent purity, which made it
the hardest money to be countcrfeited.
and the easiest to be detected, and
therefore the safest money for the peo-
pie to handle.
&c. Its superiority over all other
money, which gave to its posscssor the
choice and command of all other
money.
-. Its power over exchange; gold
being the currency which contributes
most to the equalization of exchange.
and keeping down the rate of exchange
to the lowest and most uniform point.
IS. Its power over the paper money,
gold being the natural enemy of that
system. and with fair play. able to hold
ii in check.
90. 1t is n constitutional currency()
and the people have a right to demand
it for their currency as long as the
present constitution is permitted to
exist"
Mr.. Benton hen made his acknowl-
edgements to the great apostle of
American liberty CIr. Jefferson) for
the wise. practical idea. that the value
Of gold was a commercial question, to
be settled by its value in other coun-
tries. He had seen that remark in the
works of that great man, and treasured
it up as teaching the plain and ready
way TO accomplish an apparently diff
cult object; and fully concurred with
him, that gold. in the United States.
ought to be the preferred metal: not
that silver should be expelled. but both
retained. the mistake. if any, should
be made in favor of gold instead of be-
ing against it."
