POPULIsTIC TENDENCIES.

The New York Evening Post also notes
the drift Of the Democratic party towards
Populism. and cites I'm evidence the
amendment offered by Congressman
bland to the revenue bill In the House for
printing Sl5OMO.O0O new legal tender notes
10 be- used in payment of the public eX-
pense. The Post thinks IL particularly
significant that this proposition to issue
fiat money originated with this great
apostle Of free silvorism. our contempt
rarv also mentions the bin introduced
bv Congressman Kitchen, OF North car
olina. for the issuance Of S5OOOoO,OOO Of
groonbacks.
We have always contended that It was
but step from free silver to fiat money.
The advocate Of free silver cares nothing
for silver per Sc. What he wants is more
money and cheaper money. He contends
that the stamp OF government IS all that
is necessary to convert fifty cents worth
of silver into one dollar. The inevitable
conclusion of such logic is that the more
money we have the better off the coun-
try will be. and II there is no such thing
as intrinsic value, # IL is the government
stamp and not the intrinsic value Of the
thing stamped that makes the dollar, the
paper dollar is just as good as the gold
dollar
The Populst makes no secret Of the
fact that free silver is not all that he
wants. lie is willing to take free silver
as the means to an end as the first step
in the direction of fiat money, but he
frankly confesses that he will be sat-
ishod with nothing short OF a large issue
Of irrodcemable greenbacks.
The Democratic party was a long time
coming around TO free silver, but that
is now said to be a cardinal doctrine of
Democracy and the Chicago party makes
that the test The party is now catering
10 the Populist vote, and having already
adopted free silver and other doctrines
OF Populism, II Is but a question Of time
before the entire Populistic platform will
be swallowed. Revolutions never go
backward"
II money can be made by government
fat. Spain ought to try it and thus raise
the funds she needs for her navy and
army
1t Is fortunate no doubt for us that she
has no statesmen who have discovered
this secret OF wealth, which our Populists
and free silver friends so clearly under
stand.
