ROT FROM

IF the stamp of the government can
not make anything money, as Judge
Carey contends. how is 1t that silver,
greenbacks and bank notes, none Of
them redeemable in gold, are at par
with it? How is it that an American
silver. dollar with U. S. on it is worth
more than a Mexican dollar? The gov
eminent stamp and legal tender fiat
must cut some figure."-John Charles
Thompson in the Denver News.
We had hoped that it would be I'M
necessary to start out with a financial
primer in this campaign, but some peo-
pie may be misled by the class of
tommyrot of which the above is a pref
ty fair sample. John Charles knows
better and the publication of the stuff
is pure demagogy on his part A gov
eminent has the power to make any,
thing legal tender. but it does not pos
sess the power to make money. Green
backs and all other notes are simply
promises to pay; merely representa-
tives of money. The reason why green
backs. silver and banknotes are at a
par with gold is because they can be
exchanged for gold at the banks and
at the United States treasury. Dur
ing the term Of Mr.. Grover Cleveland
the people borrowed the enormous sum
of $500, DOC, 900 to enable the treasury
to maintain the parity Of our different
kinds of currency at a parity with gold.
1t Is + that the democrats have en-
deavored to embarrass the government
and compel the treasury department
to drop to the silver basis, but to date
all their efforts have failed. During
the trying times of the panic the fol-
lowers of Bryan insisted upon Mr.. Car
Isle paying out silver instead of the
gold that was demanded by the I'M
porters, but he steadfastly refused to
discredit the United States government
and maintained it's honor among the
nations. At the Chicago convention,
Mr.. Hill introduced a resolution de-
claring it to be the policy of the demo-
cratic party to maintain the parity of
the metals. but 1t was met with deris-
ion and went down to ignominious de-
feat, thus proving that the democratic
party is moi in favor Of keeping all our
money as good as gold. We will say to
Mr.. Thompson that if Mr.. Bryan had
been elected president of the United
States our greenbacks. banknotes and
silver would have at once sunk to the
level Of the Mexican dollar, Of which
he speaks. AS Mr.. Jones OF Nevada
said, before he became possessed of a
silver mine, gold is the common de
ncminator of values, and will continue
to be just so long as the leading ma
tions of the earth choose to use it as
such.
, 1898-10-04

of silver it would be impossible to do
this, because there would not be
enough gold in the country to do 1t,
and no other country would help us
out.
And, finally, there is not a single
country on the globe which has free
and unlimited coinage of silver which
is a bimetallic country. Every n OF
them is a silver monometallic country
and gold is not used as a circulating
medium at all. So l assert that we
have now, in this country, the only
true bimetallic system which it is pos
sible for any country on earth to have.
But Jim Stirling says, "If the govern
ment will only stamp a piece of silver
'one dollar and make 1t a legal tender,
1t is Just as good money as l want"
Well, does making 1t a legal tender add
anything to its value? Not a farthing.
You will say, l can pay my debts with
it. No you can't. There Is not a our
III JhC "ol 'WAIlSu WOulu llOL uCNl1le
d law unconstitutional which would say
you may pay your debt in deprecated
money. 1t would be a law impairing
contracts. The court would compel
you to pay your debt in just as good
money a. hat in circulation at the
time and place of contracting the debt.
Let me tell you a story to illustrate the
case.
Jim and l took a trip down into Mex
ice. After we had crossed the line l
say, Jim l am a little short OF change,
lend ME ten dollars" and he hands me
a t%en-dollar bin. AS soon as we stop
l go into a store or bank and get the
ten-dollar greenback changed and get
$22.4O in Mexican dollars for it. 1 hand
him back ten Of the dollars and my
debt is paid and 1 am $12.40 ahead.
Jim may look a little soul but l tell
him, 81 only owed you ten dollars. The
debt was contracted in Mexico and paid
in Mexico, and these dollars are a legal
tender here in Mexico" Does Jim
kick? Oh, no. he ant built that way.
Anything that is a legal tender" goes
with him.
But let us change 1t a little. Suppose
it was here at home that l borrowed
the money, and instead of crossing the
line into Mexico we change our poll
tics, the democrats come into power
and pass a free coinage act, refusing,
according to their Chicago platform, to
maintain the parity of silver. OF course
a silver dollar then, If the government
refused to stand sponsor for it, would
be no better than a Mexican dollar, not
SO good. in fact, for 1t does not contain
as much. Or as pure silver, but then l
could buy $40 silver dollars witch the
%ten-dollar bill ! borrowed Of Jim, pay
him back his ten dollars and have ten
dollars left, and Jim would be quite
satisfed-of course he would. That Is
the kind of fellow Jim is.
There probably never was 80 shall
low, silly and absurd a had ever took
root in the minds Of American people
as this free and UNFINISHED silver COIN
age scheme. The greenback scheme,
which called for the UNLIMITED issue Of
greenbacks, was not half 20 ridiculous.
And yet this Is the only issue che demo-
Gratis have LETT to 30 before the people
, 1898-10-04

The Denver News says that since
1866 the government has retired more
than a billion OF greenbacks. The high
est amount of greenbacks outstanding
1t any time was $449, 1893 ,s02, ON jan
uary 8. 1864. Congress on May 81,
1878, prohibited the further ~cancella.
ton of greenbacks and directed the re-
issue Of such as might be received or
redeemed at the treasury. The amount
outstanding has therefore ever since
remained at ss46, 6s1, O16, as it was at

FREE COINAGE.
Communicated

lSolulluulCd USO.J
THE free coinage of silver at 16 to
l. is such an exploded idea, so dead
an issue, that it seems to be a waste of
ammunition to discuss it further.
Even the democrats are regulating it
all over the country. They never did
believe in 1t as a principle and have
lost faith in it as a vote gatherer. But
as some few who have not studied the
question still have a lingering attach
ment to the theory, I wish to suggest a
few thoughts on the subject which, it
seems to me, will make the matter
plain to them.
notice that the most rabid free sill
~verites, ven Senator Teller, have pref
ty much discarded the term ''free and
unlimited coinage and substituted the
word "bimetallism." II bimetaHism
means the s of the two metals as
money then we surely already have BIZ
metallism is all Us glory.
Now l assert that 1t would be impos-
sdble to have practical bimetallism un-
less the parity Of the two metals were
maintained by some process, as the
cheaper money would drive the dearer
out Of circulation.
Secondly, that the only way to main
tain the parity Of two kinds Of money
is to make and keep them freely In

During the past eighteen months the
currency Of the country has increased
by more than 5000, 600, 900 and yet John
Charles Thompson a y that there is
complete stagnation in the government
for money supply. Let him
turn to the records of the mint and see
how much gold and silver we coined
last year. Then let him add to that
sum the amount Of our importations
and the other items OF increase in our

A ONE-MAN PARTY.

II the Boomerang had not called at
to the fact, some would prob
ably have never noticed that the demo-
county ticket is really a sort of a
family affair, but it was so apparent
that the fool paper considered an ex-
cuse necessary. The people of Albany
county knew the real condition. They
know the democratic party Of this
county has been dominated for more
than twenty-five years by I'M a
The little pie-biters and w~ard-heelers
have circled about him like moths
around a ~tallow-dip. Now and then
one has been singed and again another
has been completely smashed and driv-
en- from the fold because OF insubordi-
nation, but in the main the little fell
lows have been as truculent and sub
servient as the most ardent despot
could desire. If the democrats Of AL
bany county have nominated a ticket
during the past quarter OF a century
without the name or Holiday upon 1t,
the fact has escaped the somewhat vigil
liant eye Of a critical people. Not only
this. but the entire democratic ticket
has been dictated and controlled by the
same influence. Party conventions
have been a farce and the will of the
democratic rank and file has beer a
dead letter. This is why of twenty
five outside precincts only seven were
represented in the county convention.
This is why self-respecting democrats
in all sections of Albany county are
repudiating the party and uniting with
the republicans, where they can have
a voice in the party councils and a
fair show in the conventions.
