Besides, the laws provide that all Of that
particular article which may be brought
to the mints shall be "formed into coin
or bars" for the benefit Of the owner, and
these coins and bars are maintained at
their coin value by the laws OF nations
that use gold az their standard of value.
Consider a moment how this legal
value Of gold compares with the esti-
mated market value of other things in
the United States. Our average annual
production Of gold has been about 35
million dollars during the last ten years.
Our aggregate wealth in census year
1890, excluding gold, was upward Of 65
billions; and the business Of q people
who own that much property is to be
done on q basis Of 100 million dollars,
which sum has been agreed upon as suf-
hcent by the treasury officials.
But more than that. Whenever our
gold falls below 100 million, we have to
borrow gold on our bonds, and this has
been done to the extent Of 2,315, ,450,
in four lnstallments since January, 1894.
The continuance Of the present gold
standard involves a continuance of the
present practice of bond selling. It in
wolves the continued contraction of our
circulating medium, the continued de-
probation Of property values, and the
continued rise in value Of gold. And
this means bankruptcy and industrial
slavery.

shall be taken up as rapidly as possible, and
the notes herein provided for substituted for
them: And provided further, That the amount
Of the two kinds Of notes together shall at no
time exceed the sum OF $50 million dollars, and
such notes herein authorized shall be receiV->

excises, debts, and demands Of every kind due
to the United States, except duties on imports,
and Of all claims and demands against the
United States Of every kind whatsoever, except
for interest upon bonds and notes, which shall
be paid in coin, and shall also be lawful money
and legal tender in payment Of all debts,
public and private, within the United States,
except duties on imports and interest ss sfore-
said.
The act of July IL, 1862, authorized
the issue Of $50 millions more of these
United States notes and in section of
the act OF June 80, 1864, it is provided
the total amount of United States notes
ISSUED or to be issued" shall never ex-
ceed 400 millions, land such additional
sum, not exceeding so millions, as may
be temporarily required for the redemp-
tion of temporary loan"
Our correspondent will observe that
the demand notes and the United States
notes or greenbacks are altogether differ
ent. The demand notes were regarded
as temporary loan, and hence were pay
able on demand; while the United States
notes were intended to circulate as
money and were not payable at any par
ticular time.

DEMAND NOTES AND GREENBACKs.


The ADVOCATE has before explained
the difference between the demand notes
and the greenbacks, but we are asked
for the same information by some new
readers.
The demand notes were authorized by
act Of Congress approved July II, 1861.
They were payable on demand" and 80
got their name-demand notes. The
amount authorized was not to exceed so
million dollars. By act approved August
5, 1861, these notes we're made "receiv-
able in payment Of public dues" By act
Of February u, 1862, the amount of the
issue was authorized to be increased by
10 million dollars. By section 2 Of the
act OF March II, 1862, it was provided
that these notes ''shall, in addition to
being receivable in payment of duties on
imports, be receivable, and shall be law
full money and legal tender, in like
manner, and for the same purposes, and
to the same extent, as the notes author
lied by an act approved Feb
ruary 25, 1862" This last named act is
the greenback sct.)
The greenbacks tso-cslled because the
backs of the notes were printed in green)
were authorized by act of February 25,
1862. Section Of said act provides:
That the Secretary Of the Treasury is hereby
authorized to issue, on the credit Of the United
States, $50 millions OF United States notes, not
bearing interest, payable to bearer, at the
treasury OF the United States, and Of such de-
nominations IS he may deem expedient, not
less than IS each: Provided, That 80 millions of
said notes shall be in lieu Of the demand
treasury notes authorized to be issued by the
act Of July II, 1881; which said demand notes

show in more glaring terms than have
ever before been uttered by any public
officer, that the laws will be set at def
ance, and the powers Of Congress will be
usurped by the Executive Department
whenever the money changers and the
spectators on the stock exchange 80
demand. He is ready to go to still
greater lengths than he and his prede-
cessors have yet gone in allowing note
holders to determine wtat sort Of coin
the government shall pay them. He
now declares that whenever gold is de-
manded by these gamblers in exchange
for silver dollars, the treasury will re-
spond in gold. Verify the people are fall
ing on evil times.

THE EXISTING GOLD STANDARD.

1t is not only serious matter-this
existing gold stsndard-but its continu-
Rnce is full Of danger. And the danger
reaches out into all departments Of in
dustry, into all the avenues Of trade, and
pervades every phase and condition Of
social life.
In the first place, it is based on the
barbaric idea that the value of the pre-
cious metals is equal to the value Of all
other property. This idea was evolved
from the belief that these metals were
the only fit materials for money, and all
men understand that the demand for
money is equal TO the demand Of all the
people for the use and enjoyment Of the
surplus productions OF all other articles.
At time when men and women pro-
duced about all they used there was lit.
tle need for money, but as commerce
spread and civilization advanced, money
and substitutes for money became more
important until now it is an absolute
necessity. And now, when the world is
trade and life is motion, and when 10 per
cent Of the people are engaged in dis
tributing the million articles produced
BY farmers, mechanics and miners, we
are required TO measure the values Of
these million products by an arbitrary
and fictitious value fixed by law on one
article, and that q scarce and costly one.

SENATOR PETER AND THE NATIONAL
CAMPAIGN.
CAMPAIGN.

A correspondence begun in August by
the National committee of the Peoples
party has resulted in Senator PETER con-
senting to devote the first three weeks
Of October to the National campaign.
The following plan has been adopted
by the committee: Nebraska, 1st, I'd
and Sd days Of the month; South Dakota,
5th to 10th, inclusive; North Dakota,
18th to 18th; Minnesota, 10Th to oath.
This will, Of course, take the Senator
out Of Kansas during three Of the most
busy weeks of the campaign, and while
he feels under special obligations to the
people Of his own State, yet he does not
overlook the fact that success in the
country at large is of more Importance
than a local victory in any State; and he
recognizes that the National committee
has just claims on Kansas for some as
slstRnce.
The Chairman Of our State committee
has been consulted, and he has not felt
it his duty to interpose objections. Many
personal invitations to the Senator to
address the people in different parts Of
the State in October will have to be de-
cllned, except such as can be crowded
into the last week. But though absent
in the flesh, he will be present in the
spirit; and every speech delivered else
where will contain a prayer for success
in Kansas.

MR. CARLIsLEs EXTRAORDINARY LETTER

MIS- CAhL1ShE'6 EXTRAORDINARY LETTER
AS showing what is in store for the
people Of this country, nothing has yet
appeared which goes as far and as deep
as letter written by Mr.. Carlisle, Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, to a gentleman
Mr.. James P. Helm Of Louisville, KY,
under date September 15, 1896. The
letter is printed in full in another column
Of this issue Of the ADVOCATE, to which
the reader is referred.
Mr.. Helm had asked for information
concerning the status Of the silver dol
lar under the present practices Of the
Treasury Department, and Mr.. Carlisle
begins his answer by referring to the
fact that since 1873 all our silver dollars
have been coined out Of bullion that had
been purchased by the government.
The Secretary then proceeds to show
that there is q material difference be-
tween coins thus made from purchased
bullion, and coins made under a system
OF free coinage. He speaks Of
The implied obligation of the government TO
preserve the value Of the money which IL coins
from Its own bullion and for Its own use, and
which 1t forces its citizens to receive in ex-
change for their property and service
and proceeds
With knowledge Of these assurances, the
people have received these coins aud have re-
lied confidently upon the good faith Of their
government, and the confidence thus inspired
has been . most potent factor in the malnte.
nance OF the parity.
Having thus drawn out and made
clear the idea that the government Of
che United States has undertaken to
maintain the parity between the two
metals, Mr., Carlisle makes two startling
statements.
He says in one place
II is not doubted that whatever can be law
fully done to maintain equality In the ex.
chAngeAble value Of the two metals will be
done whenever it becomes necessary, and al.
though silver dollars aud silver certificates
have net up to the present time, been re-.
ceivsd in exchange for gold yet II the time
shall ever come when the parity cannot be
otherwise maintained, such exchange will be
made.
And again
II 10 the duty Of the Secretary OF the Treas
uFY and of All okhaF Duhlio nf1ciala IN eracnAa
in good faith the policy declared by Congress,
and whenever he shall be satisfied that the
silver dollar cannot be kept equal In purchAs-
ing power with the gold dollar, except BY re-
coiving It in exchange for the gold dollar,
when such exchange is demanded, is win be
his duty 10 adopt that course.
These statements by the Secretary

STANDARD MONEY FOR THE RICH-CUR-
RENCY FOR THE POOR

Mr.. Hobart, Republican candidate for
the Vice Presidency, in his letter of &C.
ceptance, is more explicit in his defni-
tion Of what the gold standard means
and of what the Republican party de-
mands, than his leader was in defining
his position. Mr.. Hobart writes like a
business man. He uses short and preg-
nant sentences. He knows what he
wants, and goes for it straightway. Mr..
Mckinley, on the other hand, does not
know just what he wants, hence his line
OF approach is not so direct. 1t IS prob
ably true that il he did see clearly
the object of his philosophy, he would
require time to blend party colors in fine
shading so as with them to obscure
rather than bring clearly to view the ex-
act point Of observation.
For example, Major Mckinley, when
he discusses the monetary situation and
our financial methods, talks in a general
way about honest money, preservation of
the public credit, enlarged purchasing
power, etc. These expressions, to the
average mind, are not quite clear.
How different it is with Mr.. Hobart,
who strikes straight out in front of him.
He says, to begin with, that the plat
form declarations Of his party in refer
ence to the money question "clearly and
Enthusiastically express the attitude of
the party on this supremely important
subject. We stand unqualifedly for
honesty in finance and the permanent
Of our monetary system and
the multifarious activities Of trade and
commerce, to the eriSting GOLD
OF VALUE"
That is perfectly clear. Mr.. Hobart
would not only have our monetary sys-
tenn and the multifarious operations and
activities Of trade and commerce ad-
justed to the existing gold standard, but
he would have that adjustment made
permanent. And he gives his reason
for this judgment. He says that "the
money standard of great nation ought
to be fixed and permanent as the nation
ITSELF" And inasmuch as "the necessity
of certain and fixed money value be-
tween nations 4 has grown out
Of the interchange of commodities" and
inasmuch as "this necessity has made
gold the standard" therefore that mat
ter is settled and the existing gold stand
ard must be maintained.
But. Mr. Hobart ha;n0 = br.;,,a.. ,o.,,
