SAYS a Missouri exchange: The

mates that FREQ coinage will bring
no relief to the upright debtor, be-
cause he will refuse to pay his
debts in deprecated dollars. Ac-
oording to Mr.. Cages standard Of
uprightness the honest creditor
would refuse to receive his debt in
money of approaching value. 1t
is surprising that we have never
heard of creditor who voluntari.

because of the rise in the value of
money since 1878. Perhaps there
are no honest creditors, or it may

the subject of the currency the report
says:
Probably there is no subject which is
stu of such Importance as that Of the
currency. While the great uprising in
favor of sound money in 1896 was not
without its good effect there is still much
10 De desired in the way of a permanent
prosperity, which condition is mainly due
to the fact that the future of our
monetary system is still largely in doubt
OVer-confidence as to the continued in
luence for good, of the defeat of free
silver at the last election is serious
mistake. While hard times are undoubt-
edly stimulus to unsound systems of
hnance. it is a mistake to suppose that
the numerous friends of such systems
VIII be entirely satisfied by return of
prosperity.
Hard times, which did not originate
the silver question. have undoubtedly
been used by interested parties to install
false ideas in the minds of many of our
people, particularly our workingmen ana
farmers. which have become part of their
poititdi DeneI. "A spirit OF unrest and
dissatisfaction still exists among such
classes and there is no evidence that
among such any great conversion from
the Tree silver doctrine has taken place
anywhere in the country.
I'm New York and Nebraska the opin-
ions of the dissatisfied are now practically
the same as before election. The form may
have changed. as free silver was but a
form and natural sequence of the green
back heresy, so now the tendency is to
become fiat money rather than silver
faliacy: but in whatsoever form il shows
itself. II has become Il general theory of
pubic policy and conspicuous tenet
in the doctrine of a national party.
TO such the free silver or fiat money
question is paramount and all considera-
tons of currency reform will be made
subservient thereto. The only way to
meet it is by persistent education, for
which purpose some of the sound money
organizations have been continued as a

popular interest or support. and by the
adoption of sound financial policy. in
