DISHONEST MONEY

II the contention OF gold monometal-
lists that gold is stable standard
value" is true, upon what theory can
they explain the rise In gold since sill
YER was deprived OF Its equality with
that metsl2
II IL is u ''stable standard value"
why should 1t be constantly appreciat-
ing? At no time since silver was de.
monetized has gold been a stable
standard .value. photographers tell
us that stability means steadiness
stableness. oonstancy, immovabilitY,
fxedness. etc. Gold then cannot be a
stable standard Of value, for II il we're
q would remain at one hundred cents

Ia the money charts Of the world and
is appreelating, as shown by the mar
ke,s, where is the Justice Of the con.
tentiou that IL Is honest money and
that bimetAllism is dishonest? Was
bimetAllism dishonest money for
the eighty four years that the govern
ment coined II and circulated II as the
basis Of the monetary system OF this
country? Certainly no one will make
such contention. When gold and
silver were coined and circulated on
an equality Of i6 to 1 and both used as
he measure Of value, each metal
served Gs a compensating balanee to
keep the measure stable. Since silver
was stricken down gold has been its
own compensating balance in the
measure OF value, and that measure
has been c dishonest one, for II has
robbed and is still robbing the debtor
class, for every deferred payment
steadily increases under the goli
standard and puts unearned money
