PAN-AMERICAN MONEY

It IL the general custom OF nations to
only in transactions Of a domestic char
acter, and which Is Of no service beyond
national boundaries. This has led to
the establishment of a commercial GEN.
ter, where balances in international trade
are struck and paid. That commercial
center, or the worlds clearing house, is
London. It is one of the conlsummated
plans of the grasping- British minds.
and the profits accruing to the London
bankers from it are immense. ALL ma
tions make contributions through the
payment of premiums for sterling ex-
changes, and those premiums insure to
the benefit of the London bankers and
their correspondents and to the ship
owners who transport the gold with
which International balances are paid.
Those balances are mainly transported
in British bottoms. Such commercial
center not only has great Influence in
controlling the course of trade, but it
in no inconsiderable measure dictates
the price Of comrroddties throughout
the world. That commercial center has
been able to prevent the adoption of any
international money system, or, in other
words to prevent any International
coinage, or issuance of any international
currency by which transactions can be
settled without the intervention of a
common clearing house. The scheme
is ddsadvantageous to all nations except

ANOTHER POLITICAL MOSES
NEEDED

Public sentiment in free country is
never stationary for a great length OF
time. 1t veers from one side to the other
even on questions that are comparatively
old, for men change their opinions when
new light has been discovered, or when
new conditions arise.
When the constitution was in process
of formation the task was to establish a
government that would not endanger lib
erty by making it too centralized, and
at the same time strong enough to pre-
vent turbulence and anarchy. AS the
experiences of the trainers had been un-
der kingly or the one-man. power their
greater than their fear of the ebullition
Of popular passions. There were diff
ferences of opinion as to the powers
that should be conferred. These diff
ferences have continuously existed since
the constitution was adopted, and they
have appeared from time to time on the
question of the construction to be given
to that instrument, and in this particular
sentiment, like the pendulum of tho
clock, has swung from one extreme to
the other.

force obedience to the laws made by the
people.
The good sense and manly spirit which
led foes and combatants in angry and
bloody contest to return to peace and
fraternity, to the common fold Of the
government, when those contests have
been decided by ballot or sword, would
seem to be sufficient to convince the
world that we are as secure against an
archy as monarchy.
After a career Of nearly century and
quarter the principles embodied in
the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution have not suffered from di-
minution. We present the spectacle of
unexampled growth of strong and
homogeneous republic. The sun in its
course across the continent does not look
down upon a single slave, nor upon ele-
ments seriously dissentient.
The herald., 1897-07-04

The banks would not consent to a plan
that contemplated dictation by the gov
ernment as to the volume they shall put
out and keep in circulation. That power
they will insist shall be left to them
selves. 1t is the prerogative and duty of
government to supply a needed volume
of money, and it is prerogative and
duty which should never be delegated.
The demand for foreign money is a
confession that we have not enough of
our own. Would 1t not be wisest to de-
wise and adopt plan that will assure a
larger volume instead Of one that can
hardly have any other effect than to
cause contraction, or at least that does
not afford assurance that volume of
money will be kept out commensurate
to the needs of the country? Shall the
people be subjected to the control of A
monetary oligarchy? That is the grave
question before the country.

usual California leads the procession
with over SIS, 1000, 900 to her credit. Col
orado is a close second, being only $780,
600 behind the Golden state. These two
favored commemorative produce con-
siderably more than, one-half the
annual gold output Of the country, the
grand total for 1896 being $50, ,0SS, 900.
Montana produced over 100000 and
South Dakota like amount. 1t sounds
rather strange to call South Dakota a
gold mining state, yet the Black Hills
have made a reputation for themselves.
Dirt producing $3.50 ton is remunera-
tive there. Alaska, which is rapidly
coming to the front, produced over 81
100000 last year, while Arizona, Nevada,
Oregon, Idaho and Utah run their pro-
duction up to the seven figure mark
The increase in gold production in this
country over 1895, amounting to over
$4,000, 900, illustrates the intensity Of the
vain effort that is being made to dig
enough of the yellow metal out Of the
earth to supply the demand. In the
meantime the contraction of the cur
rency goes steadily on.
Even with so lusty and enterprising
rival as Colorado in the field, it is not
likely that California will lose the proud
title of being the leading gold producer
in the union. The Coloradoans have
for the last four years been saying that
they would outstrip us in the race next
year." but next year has never come.
The Golden state is easily keeping
pace with the Centennial state in the
development of new gold fields. while
the latter cannot hope to surpass US as
to the output from the camps where the
ore bodies are already fully developed.
The permanency Of Cripple Creek is as
sured, as gold camps go, but 1t is prob
able that the maximum of that camps
annual production has already been
reached On the other hand, Rands-
burg, as a mining camp, is still in its
infancy.

THE LESSON OF MEXICO

While Mr.. Bryan is in the west he
might extend his trip to the City Of
Mexico, where significant opportunities
are offered for studying the financial
question by the fact that gold is at a
premium of s1.12.-San Francisco Post.
The fact that there is a premium on
gold would not be the only condition
that Mr. Bryan could study to advan-
tage in Mexico. His Investigations
would develop these further facts:
That Mexico, under the single silver
standard, is much more prosperous than
the United States under the single gold
standard.
That there has been no panic or bust
ness depression in Mexico during the
past six years, during which time the
United States has suffered from one of
the worst seasons of business depres-
sion that has ever visited the country.
That Mexico is rapidly increasing its
manufacturing output, while manufac-
lures in the United States are still at
the minimum stage caused by the panic
| of 1893.
| That a great amount of capital, do
mestic and foreign, is being invested in
new enterprises in Mexico, while in the
United States the money Of capitalists
and investors is lying idle.
That under the single silver standard
Mexico is able to meet it's gold obliga-
tions without trouble, while the United
States has been obliged to issue bonds
in order to maintain it's gold reserve and
| it's financial integrity.
That Mexico is internally prosperous
and contented, while exactly the re-
verse conditions prevail in the United
States.
Mr.. Bryan, however, understands these
things and is acquainted with the con-
ditions mentioned. The Post evidently
neither knows nor understands. The
Herald respectfully suggests that the
editor of the Post take up Mr.. Bryan s
itinerary where the latter leaves off, and
90 to Mexico with an inquiring mind.
That ewould return greatly benefited

VOTE ON FREE COINAGE

In November, 1898, the people Of the
United States will be called upon to elect
new house Of representatives. The
great question then, as last year, will be
the financial one-whether we are to
have gold standard or bimetallism.
The Republican party sought to divert
the attention Of the voters during the
last national campaign from the real
issue to the tariff. They declared that
the tariff was the all important question
of the hour and that on that issue Major
Mckinley was the advance agent Of
prosperity. Many Silver Republicans
were induced to accept this theory and
try the old party just once more-give
them just one more chance to bring about
good times by the tariff route Those

legal tender for all debts and dues, pub
lie and private. This has been so plainly
stated that it would seem that "he who
runs may read" and that "the way
farer. though fool, need not err there
in"
sion have gained it from the oft-repeated
statement that the proposition Of the
friends of silver, if adopted, would drive
us to silver basis. Such a statement is
made only to mislead; it is too illogical
to be intended as truth. No one should
make the mistake of supposing that the
friends of the white metal are mono
metallists, because the opponents of sill
yer are gold monometallists.
The friends of silver are constitution
alists, and believe that the power con-
ferred on Congress to coin gold and sill
yer should be executed impartially as
to both metals. Daniel Webster. the
greatest of constitutional lawyers, said:
II am clearly of the opinion that neither
congress nor any other authority can
legally demonetize either silver or gold.
The command is to coin money for the
use of the people, and the grant of au-
thority to create money cannot be con-
strued to mean authority to destroy
money" The friends of silver would
create and not destroy, while the other
side would destroy one kind of money,
the creation of which the constitution
clearly authorizes.
1t is a rule of Interpretation that the
grant of a power implies the duty to
execute it, and non-exercise of the pow
er to coin silver is dereliction on the part
of congress.

PROPOSED NEW MONEY SYSTEM

The present monetary system is COM
plex and to some extent confusing. Every
class of our money. however, except ma
tional bank notes, is legal tender and ali
paper in circulation is redeemable with
gold or silver coin. The greenback and
national bank notes are absolutely re-
deemable with gold and the so-called
treasury notes, or those which were is
sued under the Sherman act, by the con-
struction that has been given to it, are
redeemable with either gold or silver
coin at the option of the holders, though
it was the evident intention of congress
to leave the option with the government
The certificates issued on coined silver
are redeemable with silver dollars. So

votes, if cast on the currency issue,
would have been for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver and gold at a
ratio of 16 to 1 without asking the con-
sent of any other nation, but because Of
the side issue-the tariff-they were
counted against bimetallism and in favor
of gold standard.
The law making power of the United
States ought to know just how the peo-
Pile stand on this all-important question.
is for congress to submit this financial
question of Independent bimetal-
lism to vote of the people at the
same time that the next congress is
elected. If a majority of the electors are
in favor of independent bimetallism
then the government should act in ac-
cordance with such expressed will and
make laws accordingly. If majority
standard the bimetallists will grace
fully submit to the expressed will of the
people legally recorded.
While congress is about it this plebis-
farther and let another vexed question
be submitted to a vote Let us know in
a direct manner how the American
voter stands on the question of tariff,
whether it shall be for protection for
revenue only or whether the country
should adopt free trade policy.
The trouble a the present time is that
all of these great leading questions are
so mixed up that voter can hardly ex-
press his sentiments through the ballot
box. Let us have good, square, clear
cut expression of opinion on the two
great questions that congress is called
upon to decide.
The voters are frequently called upon
by states to express their sentiments on
leading questions. California has ex-
pressed itself several times in this way.
Our people voted on the Chinese ques-
ton and declared that they must go; last
year they voted on woman suffrage and
other questions. The liquor question has
been submitted to the popular vote in
/ several of the states at various times.
Now let 12,o0O,O0O people vote on the
greatest questions that have come up for
settlement since Lincoln liberated 4,00o,-
900 slaves with his little pen.
Will the party in power have the man
hood and honesty to thus submit the
questions to such test? If the people
are overwhelmingly in favor Of gold
standard, as the Republicans seem to
claim they are, such vote would settle
the question in their favor.
This question of jugglery, whereby the
people are not allowed to express them
selves, is getting to be very tiresome, and
one of these days tidal wave of public
indignation will sweep over the country
with such force that the powerful COM
bine of corporations and trusts now ir
power will be swept from their feet in
a way that will indicate that the people
can be relied upon to right wrong
when it becomes so bad as to be nc
longer endurable.

Put the banks in the shoes of the govern
ment so far as supplying the country
with proper money is concerned. If the
government cannot keep good by re-
demption the paper money the
country needs, how can the
banks do it? Are their resources
greater than those Of the govern
ment? Passing the question whether the
holders Of bank notes can be made Sc
cure under the plan proposed, let US con-
slider what the plan really is. 1t means
a limited and inadequate volume Of cir
culating medium. Bankers all prefer a
restricted volume, scarcity of money,
because the less there is the greater is
its purchasing and earning power.
They perfectly understand that
depends upon the number of units. y
Bankers always favor stringency rather
than redundancy though the former
works infinite harm to the masses and
the latter only reduces the profits of the
money lenders. From 1882 to 1891 in
elusive, the national banks contracted
their circulation $1s0,0O0000, when
growth in population, production and
domestic trade demanded expansion.
