they are using every means in their
power to make gold as dear Us possible.
In this way they will get more wealth
for their bond and interest thereon.
They are also looking forward to time

of maintaining the parity will fail and
they can force gold to premium-the

Q.-Is the gold dollar an honest dol
lar?
A.-That dollar alone is honest which
maintains the delicate relations be-
tween debtor and creditor without ad-
vantage to either. AS the gold dollar
has doubled in purchasing power it is
enriching the creditor ut the expense Of
the wealth producer.
Q.-How can we make all our money
honest?
A.-By making one dollar just as good
as another dollar in law; fixing the unit
of value in both gold and silver dol
lar on the present coinage ratio of six
teen to one; making both full legal ten
der without exceptions or qualitica-
tons; using both for redemption pur-
poses without discrimination and Civ
ing each equal privileges at the mint;
also by making all credit money full
legal tender. Then our monetary sys-
TEN will be honest and our money equal
to the best money of the most civilized
nations. 1t will then need no bond sales

commercial value of the silver in the silver
dollar on that date was 55 cents.
Paper Money.
The first paper money ever issued by the
government of the United States was au-
thorized by the acts of July II and Aug.
5, 1861. The notes Issued were called "de-
mand notes" because they were payable
on demand at certain designated subtreas-
uries. They were receivable for all public
dues, and the secretary was authorized to
reissue them when received; but the time
within which such reissues might be made
was limited to Dec, 81, 1862.
The amount authorized by these acts
was 100000 00 An additional issue of
$40, 900, 900 was authorized by the act of
Feb. 10, 1852, and there were reissues
amounting TO $500 The demand notes
were paid in gold when presented for re-
demption, and they were received for all
public dues, and these two qualities pre-
vented their depreciation.
All other United States notes were de-
preciated in value from 1869 until the re-
sumption of specie payments. The act of
Feb. &c. 1869, provided for the substitu-
ton Of United States notes in place of the
demand notes, and they were therefore
Cancelled when received. BY July 1, 1868,
all except sS,,770, 900 had been retired, and
nearly $4,000, 600 of this small remainder
was Cancelled during the next fiscal year.
These notes were not legal tender when
first issued but they were afterward made
SO by the act Of March II, 1869.
United States Notes.
The principal issue of United States pa
per money was officially called United
States notes These were the well known
"greenbacks" or illegal tenders The
act of Feb. IS, 1869, authorized the issue
af $3.50, 900, 0eO, of which $50, 600, 900 was
