A TRIPLE MONOPOLY OF GOLD
MONEY AND BANKS.

We are, or would be, very happy that
our morning local contemporary Is so
out-spokenly for currency REFORM" If
we could believe 1t in cold earnest. or
really understand what Is true eur
rency-reform." But when we remem-
Der that it was for gold mono-metal-
ism In 1896. and actually abandoned the
Democratic party In that election be-
cause of it's bitter opposition to the res
toration of the constitutional coinage of
silver, we are forced TO think that our
contemporary is mistaken, or misappre-
hends what 1t is really for.
For 81 years, the constitutional and
legal-tender. free and unlimited. coin
age of gold and silver, as our joint and
exclusive standard money. had proceed
ed most happily and successfully. and
there was not the slightest complaint
of our currency from any quarter ex-
ccpt rs to our gold coin, which had re-
quired some slight revaluation once or
twice to counterfeit the prevailing pref
erence everywhere for our silver coin
our silver dollar to-day being precisely
the same in weight and ineness as fixed
in 1892 by Congress. under the joint adj
vice of both Jefferson and Hamilton.
though neither. we believe, was at that
time in Congress. Whatever difficulty
there was In the uninterrupted use of
this Joint standard money until 1873 Oor
81 years.. 1t is seen, arose wholly
through gold. and not at all through
silver; and in 1873. when Congress de
monetized silver metal. the silver dol
lar, by a premium varying from to
4 per cent, was preferred to our gold
coin, both at home and abroad.

Power is rule. Money is the greatest
material power. Monopoly secures
money the most prolific reproduction,
multiplication and unquestioned power
and rule. Human freedom alone can
compete with monopoly and human
freedom-man and liberty-are crushed
together as competition is put down and
monopoly attains sole and absolute con-
troll. Money is then supreme temporal
power: though properly and naturally
only a means and medium. This CEN
tury. through man and liberty and their
inspiring and competitive vigor and in

done stupendous things in spite of mon

MONEY \ CREATION OF LAW.

Money is a creation Of law, and of
law only. Its creation is government
monopoly. Law determines to- day. APP
proXinately, The amount of money that
the people may have with which to
effect their exchanges. Briefly formu
lated. then. my theses are as follows:
Prosperity is determined by the reward
of production-;hc price. Price is de-
tcrmined by the law Of supply and de-
mand finding its expression in the re-
lati"n OF the volume of money TO the
volume OF cXchangeaba products. The
volume of money IS determined by law.
Hence. price. or the reward of produc-
ton, is determined by law. Hence.
prosperity is determiped by law. My
conclusion. therefore. IS. that prosperi-
~ has been destroyed by 4 contraction
Of the volume of money resulting from
the decentralization OF silver and that
II can be restored only by the resto-
ration of silver TO its former status

Are men frozen by imaginary pic
lures. or even by true stories of Arctic
frigidity2 Are they starved or hungry
because 4 cry OF famine is resounding
in the streets? No! nor are they
warmed or fed by false chorus of
prosperity. And be it noted. TOO. that
the cry Of famine is usually traced, es
pecially if untrue, to the monopolists OF
grain ana other food; while that of
freezing weather and short supply of
fuel. means that the coal monopolists
are raising prices on consumers while
reducing wages of producers.
But the 18th century owes it's great
ness chiefly to the people and liberty
to free men and free labor: not to ty-
ranny and its serfs. nor to imperialism
and its subjects, nor to capital and its
greed. No. Human labor. industry,
endurance, daring and self sacrifice. In
peace and war, in invention, discovery,
effort and ach.evmcnt, have accom-
pllshed all things. while capital. money

Certainly reform is needed-but not
on the principle of curing by 1.-The hair
of the dog that bit" Reform is neces-
sary in our coinage and currency by
reason of the act of 1873 and the ad-
ministrative usurpations and favors to
the moncy-power that have reinforced
that act and its amendments and addi-
tions. And here we quote the remark
of the Landmark to which we referred
above:
"As our system is now constituted,
the law that causes the re-issuance of
paper redecmable in either gold or sill
vcr. at the holders option. makes the
treasury weakest at the very time when
ii should be strongest"
But the United States has no issues
redeenrablc, at the option of the holder
in gold or silver. All our public obli-
cations, by law, are redeemable at the
option of the government, in gold and
silver. and it is only n Republican usur-
patton in behalf OF the money-power
that makes the endless chain" posi-

tive REFORM" elect Democratic Con-

currency reform this country needs
or desires. as due wholly to the trick"
mislegslation of 1873 and since.
Landmark discloses its conception of
currency reform" as follows:
THE two things necessary above all
others for the conversion of our pres
cnt unwieldy currency system into a
scientific, stable, and elastic one are the
breaking of the endless chain of the
treasury and the increase of the note
issuing power of banks.
That is plain enough: 1t wants to go
from bad to worse. instead OF to reform
to complete the gold and money
monopoly by law, making gold-coin the
only specie; withdrawing all Treasury
issues, and stopping all future issues or
Reissues of government notes: thus
forcing the people to so-called national
bank-notes exclusively as money and
currency Cfor it is simply barefaced and
fraudulent impudence to speak of gold
rs money and currency for the people,
"A currency 1t Is the prime duty OF
government to supply and thus decrease
taxation. whereas 1t Is n currency the
people are taxed to supply freely to tho
banks, or at only one per cent. per an
mum, and which they can only obtain
from the banks on the best security, at
from to IL per cent. per annum.
