Value OF Confidence.

First of all, we should have a stable
unit. The unit now existing in this
country is the gold dollar Bank notes,
greenbacks, silver coin and silver Ger
tlficates may circulate alongside of it
only SO long as the confidence remains
that, whenever their holders please,
they may exchange them for this unit
on the basis Of their face value An in
crease of any form of money to point
where this exchangeability becomes
doubtful destroys confidence and there
fore leads not to an increase but to q
contraction of money. Many suggestions
made to increase wealth, such as free
coinage OF silver, unlimited printing of
greenbacks, issuance of paper money
against real estate and farm products
IN fact, all those suggestions that can
be summarized as 1.-The cry for more
money without regard to its soundness
that is, its exchangeability for the
gold unit-would, il carried ont, de-
stroy confidence and therefore decrease
wealth and impede the development and
o. the country. Adolf La

When the Populist press is clamorine

products are an injury to everybody but
the owners Of gold, and that the Is to
swindle would help the people by dou-
bling the price Of everything they buy.
But when tie same papers come to de-
houace trusts and monopolies, they d.
SO on the araand that those combina-
tlons OF capital restrict trade and put
up prices. Thus the Coal trust has been
generally condemned by the PopuIists
because it raised the price Of coal SO
cents per ton. But free silver would
make ton Of coal cost just double
what it is now. If higher prices in the
interest OF trusts is such bad thing.
why would they not be equally bad IN
