HARD MONEY.
The History Of the United States from
the Earliest Period to the Pres
emit, and its Legislation Touch
ing the Money Question.

ing the Money Question.
On the 3rd day of September 1896,
there assembled in the city of Indian
apolis, a body of men either ignorant
Of, or false to the record of the d emo
cratic party and in it's platform de-
clared: that, "Gold must be the stan
dard. To this long established demo-
cratic policy we adhere, and insist
upon the maintenance of the gold
standard, and of the parity there
with of every dollar issued by the
government, and are firmly opposed
to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver and to the compulsory purchase
os silver bullion"
Now at no previous time had the
Democratic party in National con-
vention ever put forth such adeclara-
ton, and no legislative act by that
party can be pointed to, to corrobo-
rate its statement, nor can the dec
laration of any other of the great po-
litical parties of the country in con-
vention assembled be shown to prove
that any respectable body of the
American.people were in sympathy
with its declaration.
Before the money power dictated
the financial policy of political part
es, the Democratic creed originating
n platform declaration in Jackson's
time was: "That congress had no
power to charter National Bank
that we believe such an institution
one of deadly hostility to the the best
interests of the country, dangerous
to our republican institutions and the
liberty of the people, and calculated
to place the business interests of the
country within the control of con-
centrated money power, and above
the laws and the will of the people. Z"
With the advent of Cleveland ism,
which is not democracy, came COM
plete surrender of the policies of the
party to the dictation of the money
power of Europe and America. 1t
gave us both the voice and the hand
OF Esau and all the treachery to the
past history and policy of the party
that the Clevelands, the Carlisles,
and the Eckles of the country could
inflict. Instead of an advocacy by
them of the financial policy of the
party in its better days, they devoted
and are devoting all their energies to
upbuild and strengthen the banks of
issue, giving them complete control
over the business interests, the l1ber-
ty, prosperity and welfare of the cou-
try.
The democracy in 1896, in the Chica-
go platform returned to the policy
that had dominated from the days of
Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and
Polk, to the time of Jimmy Eckles.
Without fear of successful refuta-
tion, we claim that no money issued
by authority of Congress, and made
full legal tender, whether of gold,
silver or paper was ever worth less
than the amount expressed upon its
face, for the purchase of property, or
for debt-paying purposes, the princi-
pal use for money.
We further believe that no banking
system however carefully guarded by
law but was full of pitfalls, embez-
Elements, failures, defalcations, losses,
disasters to business and ruin to the
people, all to the profit and benefit OF
banks of issue, professedly based upon
specie.

SOUVENIR COINS.
So Premium on Columbian Half Dollars
or Isabella Ouarters.

| So Premium on Columbian Half Dollars
or Isabella Quarters.
Three years ago everybody wanted
| Columbian half dollar and an Isabella
quarter, and wanted it bad. If any
body who wanted either of the worlds
fair souvenirs bad enough to pay over
g dollar for it, he could generally get it
without much trouble. Sentiment,
| however, is Just about as liable to slump
as the wheat market, and anyone who
has the hard money silver mementoes
of the fair to-day could probably be per-
suaded to part with Columbian half
dollar for about 81 cents, and hand over
the Isabella coin for about cent plus
a quarter of dollar. The coins never
enjoyed the popularity that was ex-
pected. Two million five hundred thou
sand of the Columbian half dollars were
coined, and 10000 Isabella quarters.
Four hundred thousand of the half dol
lor and about 6,000 of the quarters arc
still in the subtreasury of the United
State right in Chicago in the Rand-Mc-
Nally building. About a year and half
ago rule was made by the treasury de-
partment that these half dollars could
be evenly exchanged for gold. The
worlds fair souvenir sentiment was not
quite dead yet, and there was enough Of
it alive to send 100000 in gold buzzing
straight over to the subtreasury to pull
out 100000 in Columbian halves, oil
100000 of the coins. At that time there
was about 100000 of the halves in tho
subtreasury. About half of this amount
was left after the first rush was made
to exchange gold for the halves on even
terms. Almost this entire half still re-
mains in the subtreasury, and there APP
pears to be no wild desire on the part OF
holders of gold to exchange any of It for
the Columbian souvenirs.
Assistant Subtreasurer J.. c. Pratt
said that in all probability the treasury
department would some day give out
The Columbian silver money as ordinary
currency.
A most interesting regulation exists
regarding the disposition of the Isabella
quarters. AS only 1000 of the quarters
were ever coined they are, of course,
rare, and far more scarce than the
halves. According to rule Of the
treasury these quarters are only paid
out on drafts of worlds fair officials.
OF course, many have been taken out Of
the treasury under this regulation, and
the $1,000 or S1,500 remaining in the
vaults of the subtreasury will probably
De exhausted before very long by worlds
fair drafts. Mr.. Pratt said that 30 far
as he could see the half dollars were
not now priced very highly by the hold
ers of them, with whom he had come in
contact in an official way, as he says
they come in quite often to the treasury
in ordinary business transactions, just
as does the commonplace currency.
without any attention being paid to
their souvenir qualities by the man
passing them in. Since the quarters
are not SO plentiful, they are naturally
valued a little more highly, and are sell
dom, If ever, seen in the lcurrency
handled in business transactions.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean. -
