Bryan for Fiat Money

EX-SENATOR WARNER MILLER
!, MT: Bryan at heart cares nothing for
the tree coinage of silver Mr.. BRYAN
is nrst and last believer in fat money.
ana he IS only using the free coinage
or silver to arrive at that finally. This
is serious charge to make. but if |
for it.
In the September number Of the Arena
Just last mOnth-there is an article on
the currency by Mr.. Bryan. in which
he crlticlses Mr.. Cleveland severely for
using bonds in time of peace. and esoe-
cially for selling them to a syndicate
He says: when the United States,
without waiting for the aid or consent
OF any other nation. opens its minis to
tue tree and unlimited coinage of gold
ana SILVER at the present legal ratio of
10 TO / 1t will bring real relief to its peo-
PIE, and Will lead the way to the restora-
uon OF blmetaliism throughout the world.
II Will then be prepared to perfect it's
financial system by furnishing paper
money invested with legal tender quail
ties and sufficient in volume to supply
the needs of the government. It's paper
money will not be loaned then to favor
ties, but will be paid out in the expenses
of government so that all NAV receive
the benefits"
This is fiat money. pure and simple
MI. Bryan proposes to stop taxation and
pay the expenses of the government by
printing fiat money. This government
once launched upon that hOundlcSs sea
would as certainly fall and 90 down as
did the French republic, which was set
up at the close Of the last century by
a lot of theorists and revOlutionistS
They issued during a few years forty
thousand millions of francs of fat money
called asSignats and mandats They
gave a legal-teudcr quality to it. but
while II could pay debts they could
chase. IN other words, they could give
legal-tendcr quality to the money. but
they could not give purchasing power
to it. From day to day it was issued
until finally it all disappeared as utterly
worthless. Not a single franc of II wax
ever paid or redeemed, and the people
who had parted with their property
for it were rendered paupers. Their
property was gone and the money they
had received was valueless.
Shall this be a lesson to US? And
can we contemplate the proba bility of
putting into power as President of the
United States man who holds such
yiewsI In my humble opinion there is
but one way to bring us back to prosper
ity and to the path of progress, and that
is to return TO the system of admins
tratiOn which has been Of such great
benefit to us in the past, and 10 follow
in that path. 10 follow the lamp of ex-
pericncc. TO DO that every true, honest
American citizen, without distinction of
party. should unite in this attempt at
restoration. and should by an overwhelm-
ing majority stamp out now and forever
the hcresy and the folly of q cheap and
dcbased currency.

Effect of imitation.
SENATOR LODGE.

Well, il is easy to mark up prices. A
man can go over his stock of goods in
the morning and mark them up with a
blue pencil; but you cannot go over the
salaries and the wages of this country
with blue pencil in the morning and
mark them up.
During our war. when we had an in
fiated currency and prices rose, the aver
age price of commodities rose 50 per
cent; labor rose about 10 per cent.
There was a net loss to labor Of about
30 per cent. a net reduction of wages To
that extent Labor always. in case of
a deprecated currency. lays behind 9TH
er prices 1t is inevitable all history
