STRENGTHENING THE PUBLIC CREDIT"

Every effort of the Republican party
to add to the wealth Of the money |
holders through financial legislation has
been under the pretense of strength
enng the public credit" The money
which saved the life of the nation was
converted into an interest bearing debt,
under what is known as the "credit
strengthening act" under which cap.
italists reaped enormous profits, wrung
from the pockets of the people. The
decentralization of silver, when it was at
premium over gold of 3 per cent, has
been justified by the Republican party
managers under the same pretense of

President Cleveland increased the bond

900 in order to strengthen the public
credit" and now come the Republican
members of the co nmittee on banking
and currency, who, in reporting the
bill which is to establish the single gold
standard, and say: 1.-The Strengthening
of the public credit by the removal Of
all doubt concerning the policy and
practice of the govern ment relative to
the unit of value is IF paramount i'm
portance. When certainty shall take
the place of doubt and the integrity of
our credit he as fixed as the honor of
our nation, the national debt can he
readily refunded at lower interest rates,
and future loans negotiated With ease
upon better terms than ever before. I"
Let us see how much "doubt" exists
among those who eagerly invest in coin
bonds. The market quotations on the

were as follows:
Two per cent coin bonds.......... $l.O5
Three per cent coin bonds. 1900 l.094
Four per cent coin bonds 1925
