BRYAN OPPOSED TO REDEMPTIoN.
There VIII Be Another EAdless Chain,
He Thinks Like That on

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Chairman South
ard, of the house committee on coinage,
today received from William j. Bryan his
view of the pending bills making the stand
ard silver dollar redeemable in gold. Mr..
Bryan says in part:
There is no necessity for redemption.
The legal tender law will maintain the
parity between gold coin and silver dollars
so long as both can be used to an unlimited
extent In the payment of public revenues
and private debts. l should perhaps say
that the parity will be substantially main
tanned, for local and temporary conditions
may under any law put small premium
upon any kind of money.
''As soon as the silver dollar is made re-
deemable in gold. another endless chain
will be created, and the arguments used
against the greenbacks and treasury notes
will then be turned against silver. Before
the attempt to burden the gold reserve with
this new obligation is consummated, it
may be worth while to consider the opin-
ion expressed by Secretary Carlisle in 1925.
We are surprised that Mr.. Bryan
should stop short with his logic and in
sist that legal tender law does away
with the necessity of redemption in the
case Of silver, but is still necessary in
the case Of the greenback. In all Mr..
Bryan's talk on the money question he
has always evaded this question and has
never explained how the legal tender
law or fiat of government could main
tain the parity of the silver dollar, but
would fall down in the greenback.
If Mr.. Bryan would contend that the
force that lifts silver dollar up to a
parity with the gold is partly the in
trinsic value of the silver and partly
the force of the legal tender act, then
we would like to have him divide these
two coordinate forces and figure out for
us just what part of this raising power
is due to fiat and how much to intrinsic
value.
If the elevating power is all in the
fiat, then it would seem sensible to ad
NIT that the paper could be raised to
parity quite as easily as the silver, and
we could dispense with that coin re-
demption plank in the Chicago platform.

His Work Will Live.


Editor Representative:
Since the death of that good and great
man, Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, l have
oft tried to add my humble tribute to
his memory, but when l would ponder
upon the terrible blow which humanity
received by his death, l was constrained
to drop my pen in sorrow, but it is folly
to give way to useless mourning, for
his life's work was nobly done, and its
influence will be potent factor in shap-
ing the destinies of the world.
AS the past ages were the reign OF
the divine right of kings, and the pres
ent the divine right of the 5, the fu-
ture will be the reign of true Democracy
as expounded by Mr.. Donnelly. This
may come about peaceably through the
ballot or oceans of blood may yet be
split for it but truth and justice will Ill
timately triumph.
While some of his admirers have fired
some tremendous volleys at those who
labored all their lives to impede the
progress of his work and belittle him
before the American people, let all true
reformers cease this and let us now
get to work and spread his doctrine,
and when the world is ripe for true De-
mocracy the man will arise to lead us.
Mr. Donnelly, though not protesting
any set form of religion, was a pro-
foundry religious man. This can De
proved by his many writings, and child
ish innocence was one of his character
istic traits. Sincerely yours,
w. ]. DUNBAR.

Single Tax Falls Down.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 4, 1901.
Editor Representative:
Dear Sir-As an Introductory to what
will follow I wish to state that there
are tens of thousands of good and ear.
nest reformers in this country, known
as single takers who firmly believe the
inequalities of fortune which makes
one man an arsitocrat and another a
pauper arise solely from the private
ownership Of land.
And the "Populists," who as a rule
are the most progressive and enlighten-
ed people of this or any other age, are
looked upon by these reformers with
feelings akin to pity, because they will
not indorse their land theory But IN
sist the ills complained of had their
primitive cause ana CONTINUOUS pau el-
fects from an insufficient amount in ac-
tual circulation of irredeemable money.
If agreeable to you, sir, l propose to
discuss this subject in this and SUISSE
uuent articles in a manner quite differ
enC IRON lue Olu anu SoCdoliouCu lHCO-
retical talk. And will show by practical
every day business arguments the ut
ter impossibility of ever attaining the
one single tax, and the reason why.
First, l assert it is the monopoly of
money and not the monopoly of land
that is the cause of poverty, want, crime
and suffering everywhere throughout
civilization. And. if it were not for the
monopoly of money there could not De
a monopoly of land.
The absorption by rent of the rewards
OF industry through the monopolizatlon
Of land is the base or foundation upon
which is erected the whole grand super
structure. of the single tax reform.
If this premise can be shown to be
not founded on facts that it is merely
an effect produced from cause, which
the great single tax leader and his en-
thusiastic disciples have entirely over
looked. If | can prove this, then the
foundation being removed, the grand
edifice erected upon it must topple and
fall
l think it can be clearly shown in the
course of this article that although the
presence, industry and thrift of the peo-
pie everywhere do give value to not only
land, but TO all other things. Yet it is
only in the sense that it requires two
or more people to give a commercial
value to anything. Yet they are not
the controlling factor, and the rise and
fall of rents and of land values, as well
as all of the products of labor both in
cities and in country, take place from
a cause over which the people through
their ignorance of the subject have ITO
control.
1t is high interest on scarce money
that is the cause and the only cause OF
the unequal distribution of the rewards
OF industry and of the monopolization
of land. And the more dense the pOpu-
lation, and the greater the industry and
thrift of the people, the greater is the
demand for this indispensable medium
of exchange. And the greater the de-
mand the higher the rent or interest
asked for the use of this medium by
those who own or control it,
For as Mr.. Kellogg says: THE cen
tralizing power of money increases in
geometrical proportion to the rate OF
interest. This is practical as well as a
mathmetical truth or law, which is con-

Suppose the single tax in operation
| not only in one state but throughout
| the Union. Confidence is now restored,
! justice has been done, there is an i'm
mense revival in trade, boarded money
| goes into circulation, burdensome taxes
have all been done away with, each and
every one can pursue any legitimate
business or employment he choose with
out let or hindrance or fear of the tax
collector
All we are now expected and required
by law TO pay in the way of taxes is a
| small tax on the value of the land we
may occupy. Labor is in great demand
the employers in fact cannot get all the
help they require, and are continually
seeking more help. The working man
is at last Independent, he demands his
price and gets it; wages have risen
from a dollar a day to five, ten and tif
teen dollars a day. But in this imagi-
nary prosperity l have attempted to pic
ture, we have left out of consideration
the national medium by and through
which our debts are paid, and our vari-
| Gus exchanges must be effected
We now have the single tax and last
ing prosperity but not a sufficiency Of
money, it is scarce and the demand for
il is great, and in consequence the rent
or interest for it's use must go up and

Of the few
Single takers consider money a Sec
ondary consideration and believe that
after the adoption of this great reform,
the money question can be settled to
the satisfaction of all without any fric-
ton or trouble. But in this thought
they are greatly mistaken. Their whole
cry is against the land monopolizing
landlord but in the money monopoliz-
ing lords they have the mightiest power
on earth to contend with; a power that
controls the political management or ma
TONS their destinies and revenues More
powerful than any of the nominal rulers
OF the earth, for they are the rea, rulers
And in the mighty grasp Of this pow
er the single takers, like all Others ar.
| perfectly helpless, and for this reason.
They weld this power over rulers and
people on account Of the people them
selves believing in the material value of
money.
While the people believe in the pre-
cous metals as making the only real
money, the money power will remain in
control, and instead Of single tax on
land values we will have a multiplicity
of taxes to pay on an immense per-
manent national debt, which they, the
money power, through their henchman,
Cage have succeeded in rushing through
congress.
Do not the great majority OF single
takers share in this hard money belief?
think they do. And as long as they do
you may rest assured they Will neve,
have even freedom and independence
much less the single tax. Very respect
