A SOUND MONETARY SYSTEM.
Retirement of Greenbac l<s and Treas
ury Notes an Essential Preliminary.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
There has not been genuine sound-money
platform adopted this year by either the
Democratic or Republican party. The best
OF these so-called sound-money platforms
simply provide against the spread OF the dis
ease with which our financial system is
afflicted: they offer no remedy whatever for
the cure of the disease Itself. II is a grossly
mistaken idea TO suppose that quarantine
regulations will or can end our financial
troubles Something must be done to wipe
out the cause of our disturbed finances. In
short. the government must be gotten out
OF the banking business: the greenbacks.
treasury notes and silver certificates must
be gradually retired. and a solemn declara-
ton by Congress that all these forms OF
credit money are to be paid In gold. or It's
equivalent within reasonable time. would
do more than all else towards restoring con-
fidence in our monetary system. When q
Congress sufficiently free from demagogy
shall have been elected to pass a law that
all Indebtedness of the government, past.
present and future. shall be payable In gold.
the standard money of the world. then. ana
not until then, will absolute confidence bs
restored.
The St. Louis platform should not only
but should just as certainly declare in favor
of the gradual retirement OF all forms OF
paper money issued by the national govern
ment. Honesty Is always the best policy.
and the Republican party should not hesi-
tate for moment TO pronounce in favor OF
what IL knows TO be right on this important
question. The national government should
not be charged with the Responsibility of
keeping at a parity with gold $500 900 OF
paper money, as IL is now having TO DO
One bond issue after another will be the
inevitable result unless something 10 speed
ly done TO take this burden on Of Uncle
Sans back.
While Republican fnanciering has in the
main been right, il cannot be claimed that IT'D
course has always been wise on this subject
The Sherman silver law passed during Har-
rison's administration was wrong. as was
Harrisors course I'm paying of 500. 900 or
more Of the bonded debt or the government.
which was not then due. 1t would have
been a much wiser course for him TO have
retired 100000. 900 of greenbacks with the
surplus money he found In the treasury
than to pay a premium for government
bonds. was done. The debt that was due
was the one TO pay-pot the bonded debt
with years to run. The country IL ripe for
sound finance, and the Republican party
should not fail. when IL comes into power
again, to add the CORY OF this achievement
to its many illustrious deeds.

The fact that the administration Sem
ators opposed the resolution for the in

the country to suspect that the Presi-

that an investigation will develop IA
voritism which has caused the interests
of the country to be forgotten. AT any

the country about twenty millions of dol
