,noERsoLL ON Law AND MONEY:

/, He Makes Clear Some Of the Absurd Ar.
guments Of the silverites.
II you can make money by law, why.
shouldn't we b. rich? # 100 people
should settle on an island and form a
government and elect q legislature, they
could make laws. And if money is the
creature Of law, there is no reason why
they should not be as wealthy as Great
Britain. daughter and applause. Law
is inexhaustible [laughter], and if you
can turn it into money no nation has an
excuse for being poor.
Then there is another thing. # the
government can make money by law
and would like to have some good
Bryan man answer the question-if the
government can make money by law,
why should the government collect tax
esq Laughter and applause.] Let us
be honest. Here is poor man, with a
little yoke of cattle, cultivating 40 acres
of stony ground, working like slave
in the heat of the summer, in the cold
blasts of winter, and the government
makes him pay $40 taxes, when, accord
ing to these gentlemen, it could issue a
800, 900 bill in a second. Issue the bill
and give the fellow with the cattle a
rest. Laughter. Is it possible for the
mind to conceive anything more absurd
than that the government Can create
money?
We-and remember it-have to sup
port the government Government can
not support u.s. And the idea that the
government Can create money in poll
tics, in finance, is just as absurd as the
doctrine Of perpetual motion is in me-
ohanics, just as idiotic as the philoso-
piers stone, just as absurd as the foun-
tain Of eternal youth.
All, but they say, "What makes gold
valuable is that the law has made it a
legal tender" Again, gentlemen, you
are arguing backward. Because it was
; valuable the law made it legal tender.
Making it legal tender did not give it
value; but. being valuable, the law
made it legal tender, recognizing its
value. And yet these gentlemen say that
it got all its value from the law max
ing it legal tender. It is exactly the
other way. The legal tender law rests
ON the value of the metal. Why is gold
valuable? I don't know. Why do PEG.
pie love oysters? I don't know. Zap
plause and laughter. Why do SO many
people get idiotic about election? Jap
! plause. don't know. But these are
facts in human nature. For some rea.
son, or for money, people give value
to gold. And that value is recognized
by the lawmaking power, and that is
all there is to the legal tender act
