PETER cooPER's IDEAS.

Single Gold Standard.


Editor of the Twlce.a-wesk Republic,
The following extracts Of the
later Peter Cooper's book OF
"Ideas for a Science of Good
Government" published in
1883, are timely, as bearing on
the present campaign. He says:
1.-THE moneyed class obvious

rates of interest. This gives
them more power and less ex-
peuse.'

the interest on our national
debt is distinctly stated to be
payable in coin. That is to
say. in either gold or silver at
tie option Of the Government
Our creditors took those bonds
with the full knowledge that
the law under which they were
issued specified that both prin
cipal and interest should be
paid, not in gold, but in coin,
and there was printed, in fact,
over every bond issued, the
plain and simple words: Re
deemable in coin Of he present
standard value The words
present standard value" refer
10 the refnnding act OF July IA,
1870, and the standard value
OF that date was exactly the
same as the standard value to

THE rich Of the world are
welded to gold, the poor to
silver. 1t is TO the interest
OF the rich and moneyed kings
to demonetize silver aud Treas
ury notes, and make gold the
sole currency, because they own
the gold. Hence the reason OF
the conference between the
money power of the United
States England, France and
Germany, that brought about
the act demonetizing silver in
1873, which was repealed in
1878. I is well demonstrated
and sufficiently proved, that two
things are lodged in the peoples
hearts. First, they will moi
have silver demonetized; second
they will have a paper circulst
