SUPERIOR TO COIN.
GOVERNMENT PAPER BETTER
THAN GOLD OR SILVER.
History Proves That Paper Money In
Time OF War or Peace is Much SUI
pcrlor TO Tint OF any Metal Used rs
Money.

The concluding paper in the intensely
interesting and unusually instructive
series on "Napoleonic Finances" from
the pen Of ex-Congrcssman John Davis
Of Kansas, appears in recent issue OF
the Omaha Nonconformist. II will be
considered good reading even by those
who have not had the pleasure of see
ing the other papers in the series. Mr.
Davis Concluding Observations" are
as follows;
In looking over the ground of the
foregoing discussions II will be seen
that Napoleon's financial policy was
the most comprehensive and farreach-
ing Of his temporary expedieuts 1t
enabled France to treble the number
Of her troops and thus TO bring into
the field a million men, while the bur-
den of supporting them fell upon the
conquered countres This WASH mag
uHcent eXpedient while it lasted, but
when the conquered countries were
exhausted Of their specie 1t did not re-
main in circulation, but went into
hiding; hence to recuperate his finances
new conquests were necessary. This
drove him into foolhardy enterprises,
which were charged up to his personal
ambitions. When conquests ceased,
his finances failed and his downfall
was certain and rapid.
Let me now mention marvel in his
tory After the wars OF Napoleon had
ceased, England changed from her vic

not only was the crisis suvmounted
without difficulty, but 10000 COM

that this admirable system, which may

How IL Fool. to Ne hanged.

In the Wide World magazine, Rich,
ard Hicks, an old-tIme actor, tells Of
his narrow escape from being hanged
on the stage OF the Queens Theater,
Dublin. He was playing the part Of
Achmet, particularly vlllainous
character, who, after q long career Of
crime, Is, to the general satisfaction Of
the audience, captured by two British
soldiers and promptly hanged. "one
night, while struggling with my cap
tors, the rope slipped from my shout
ders and knotted itself round my neck,
Just as l was being hauled up" says
Mr.. Hicks. Never shall forget that
awful moment Directly felt the tug
at my neck l gave convulsive kick
and tried to shout 'Stopv but tho
word could not escape from my witch
Ing lips. could only make gurgIing
noise. Frantically kicked and strug-
gled. Pain there was none, strangely
enough, beyond choking, suffocating
sensation, and / could hear the tu-
multuous applause OF the audience,who
we're hugely entertained with what
they imagined was my realistic acting.
Then a terrible sensation, like molten
lead rushing down my spine, per-
vaded my body, and thought my legs
were bursting. gave another mighty
struggle and strove-ah! how / strove
to scream. l seemed to behold q
mighty rush of green water, and my
ears were filled with the roar Of q
cataract. have dim recollection Of
seeing great crimson sun shining
dlmly from behind the waterfall, and
can remember falling indefinitely
through space. Two days afterward
recovered consciousness, and then
suffered indescribable agony, Tie suf-
locating sensation still remained, but
It was accompanied by an unquencha-
BILE thirst, not to mention fearful pains
In my body and limbs"

lect their interest in costly money, fai
more valuable than the money they
had loaned, In 1907 British 3 per CEN
bonds were worth less than half theil
value in coin or legal tender paper
The bondholders now set about the
abolition Of paper money and the de-
monetization of silver, so that their
bonds aud the interest on them should
be payable in gold only, The evil Of.
fects of currency contraction on the
nation and the people did not disturb
the nerves of those Shyloclss. All they
cared for was their 'pound of flesh, N
even If 1t should drain the last dropof
blood from the industry and enterprise
OF the people.
There are two errors in the British
system of finances:
First,-The paper notes were issued
by the bank and loaned to the govern
ment This created class OF bond
holders who got their bonds at tho
mere cost Of printing and loaning the
notes. Instead Of that the notes
should have been issued by the govern
ment and paid out direct for the legit-
innate expenses OF the nation. This
would have put the notes into circula-
tlon without the Intervention of the
bondholders. The notes then being in
circulation and money being plentiful
the people could have met most of tho
remaining governmental expenses by
taxation.
Second. Then IL tho currency cir
culating in the country during the
war had not been retired by convert
ing tinto interest bearing bonds there
would have been no grent public debt
resting on the industry Of tho people.
These wrongs in the management of
the British finances came through the
mistake of permitting an interested
class Of money changers to manage the
finances Of the country. They con-
trolled the issue Of the bills In their
own interest during the war, and then
after tho war caused the government
to abandon the victorious paper sys-
TEN Of England and to adopt the van
pushed metallic system of Napoleon
on which to rest the bank paper
These two blunderS caused by the
great fnnnciers, who Sustain state
as the cord sustalns the hanged" gave
rise to the present great national debt
of England and placed its ultimate
payment beyond the reach Of the peo-
pie. Now, as lesson for Americans
1t may be stated that the same bril-
gand spirit and class interest which
led the British government to adopt
the metallic system in England, after
its failure in the hands of Napoleon,
is rapidly fastening the same barbar-
ianism and its resulting slavery on the
American people in the form of inter-
est bearing debts and "the gold stand
ard" which will make the debts per-
petual
The reader Of history who learns no
practical lessons from his studies
wastes his time. The one great lesson
Of Napoleon's career usful to CONNER
cial nations is this: No nation is safe
in time of war or prosperous in time of
peace with shrinking volume OF mon
ey. Not even sword Of Napoleon,
