Sound Money.

So common has become the express
sion "sound money" says the Tacoma
Union, that it has acquired a signlfi-
canoe IN the minds OF some people,
, when in reality, as the term is used by
the single gold standard organs, is has
no significance whatever, but is merely
a form of meaningless phraseology en-
ployed for effect. The San Francisco
Call, referring the matter says:
"The leaders of both parties are
everywhere declaring for "sound
money" and the rank and file say
they will have no other kind. mas
much as the government does not now
nor is it likely to ever issue unsound
money, it would seem that there is no
occasion to talk about either "sound"
or "unsound" money. No sensible
man would ever question the Sound
ness" of money issued or permitted to
be issued by the United States. Until
the mints go to turning out counter
fit money no one need be afraid to
take the governments promise to pay
or its money of redemption. The
fact of the matter is, all this talk
bout "sound money" is idiotic clap
trap, and it is intended to create q
suspicion in the minds OF the people
that there is a deeplaid scheme to
turn the national treasury iuto a
kind of green goods printing establish
ment.
The natural "soundness" of silver
for redemption money purposes was
not questioned until 1878, and then
the attack was made upon it under
cover, but the Cleveland administers
ton has bodily deprived it of its legit-
innate place in the monetary system OF
the country, SO that its coin value is
uOi INCO llOLl VliC SO'OI DlOIlllSC
to redeem it in gold. This radical and
brutal attack upon the legitimacy of
silver's qualities for money of REDEEM
ption was followed by denouncing it
as "unsound money!" but in fact, it
was stripped of its function as a
money metal and its own redemption
IN g I'D make a condition of the privi-
lege OF being coined into dollars. The
conspirators who committed this dast-
ardly offense against the bone, the
sinew and the main dependence of
the nation in its battle against the eff
forts of moneylenders toward the cen
tralization of the political and social
power OF the country into the little
circle in which they move are the in
J fiuence that is behind the cry of
"sound money"
