that the quantity of money in

The definitive characteristic of .
hard times Is the inability of /
debtors TO meet their obligations. /
S. Investigate until 1T becomes
clear that SO far as right, equity.
or any principle of morality is
concerned in the restoration of
silver, the only question is
whether dollar containing 37l5
grains of pure silver Is an honest
coin with which to discharge OBJ
legations. If that he so, 1T Is of
no Importance now much gold
coins do or DO not circulate with
il in business channels. nor
whether one or more European
nations recognize or refuse to
recognize it in the money systems
which they choose TO adopt.
9. Reflect that as to morality
there can be no reconciliation or
compsomise between the claims
of Il double and single standard.
If Justice requires that every dol
lar of Indebtedness shonld be
paid IN twenty four grains of
gold, or its market equivalent,
then the advocates of silver
restoration deserve to be char
acterized as dishonest, and if on
the other hand silver dollar of
37l grains is an honest. equlta
bic dollar for discharging obliga-
tions, then those who understand
ingly are trying to make these
debts payable in gold alone are
nothing else thar a band of eXtor.
tionate swindlers, no more de
serving the respect or esteem of
their fellows than those who
more courageously rob upon the
highway.

needed. The bears have refused to be
frightened by all predictions % an exhau,-

necessary for the February movement to
fall considerably below las, years record
to bring about this scare.
Speculative values were without life to-
day. but held quite steady and closed or

Liverpool futures closed duh at a decline
of lih-64d and spots in that market were
1-s2d off. The American spot markets
were generally quiet and unchanged. with
light sales reported. Port receipts wore
5000 bales larger than last year. but 5000
bales less than on this day last week.
