ABSOLUTE" PaPEE MONEY.

I'VE published DeArmond's speech
partly to show that sensible people
agree upon the principle Of absolute
paper money. not redeenable in
coin This the TINES denies or at
least challenged us on the point
year Or two ago, and then lodged
out. The truth is that there is no
democratic paper TO our knowledge
in this district that is 10 accord with
DeArmond at this point. and as be
is right they are all wrong,
The above is taken from the Free
Press of this city. We are not
authorized to speak for Judge De
Almond, but We viii say. that We
never saw anything IN any Of his
speeches or writings that showed
ne believed in the kind OF money
Atkeson advocates. Neither is such
q doctrine laid down in any demo
cratic creed of state or nation II
Judge DeArmond believes the gov
ernment has the power to issue
paper money in unlimited Quantities
without promise to pay. and
force its acceptance upon the
people of this and other nations,
then Atkeson is right in saying
that be is not in accord with any
democratic paper in this district,
and be might make it broader and
include every reputable democratic
newspaper in the United States.
Paper money is and can only be
based upon the wealth of the nation.
So long a. our nation confines itself
to it's resources in the issue of it's
money it will be honored and is jus.
as good as any other money under
the sun. Does any one doubt for a
minute that Spain to day would re.
main 10 her deplorable financial
straits if rhs had the power to make
such irredeemable paper money and
compel its acceptance. Hasn't every
other nation On earth the same right
and power to make money possessed
by this country, if absolute or ire
deemable money can be mads!"
We repeat that so far as We know

We did not dodge this issue, a
Atheson said, but We did refuse and
do now refuse to enter into q long

no interest to our readers and at itf

objection, however, to Atkeson de

earnest consideration of the waver-
ing: Those democrats who differ
with the party oa the financial ques.
tion have two plain roads before
them. One leads to the democratic
camp, where they can agree with
the party in everything else except
on the money question, and the
other leads to the republican party,
where they cannot find ANYTHING to
which they will agree-not even on
the money question. There is room
