SCHEME notes J1Gro can DC HO
doubt. 1t would mean
fiat money. 1t is advocated only by
someI bankers whose reputation as
financiers exceeds their ability in a
ratio considerably larger than 16 to
/. AS the Graphic has heretofore
shown, it would be nothing more nor
less than wildcat money. The bank
ers all opposed the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and the Graphic was
with them, but now for the leading
bankers of the country to come for
ward with a scheme to issue money
on the assets of the bank, money
which would be worse. if possible,
than free silver, shakes the faith
of the Graphic in the sincerity of the
bankers in the matter of monetary
system of the government. 1t shows
that the bankers are ready to pro-
test against the silver mine owners
furnishing the money for the people,
but are ready and willing themselves
to furnish a poorer money. Silver is
always worth something, but too Of
ten the assets of bank can't be
found. This asset currency move on
the pat of the bankers proves to any
unbiased mind that they were not act
uated by patriotism in their opposi
tion to free silver, but were guided
purely by selfish motives. The propo
sition to issue currency based on the
assets of the banks has caused a great
deal of discussion through the press
and otherwise. and outside banking
circles the opposition is unit. 1t has
been the means of reviving the free
silver craze in the west, and it has
also been the means of bringing to
the front many schemes for an in
ing medium. A new silver scheme
has been suggested by a Chicago gen
aleman, and while the Graphic does
not believe it good plan, still it
sees less danger in it than the asset
curI ency" scheme. 1t is about as fol
lows:
Instead of congress legislating the
ratio OF value of the two money met
ais of the world, law should be pass
ed directing our mint officials to re
ceive deposits of silver bullion with
out limit and issue therefor full le
gal tender paper dollars to those per
sons desjrous of transferring their ii
tie of silver to our government.
The number of paper dollars which
deposixors of silver would receive
would be calculated in the following
manner: Ascertain the number O.
grains of s;'yer which can be pur
chased in the open market for 23.2.
grains of gold, the number of grains
of gold in our standard dollar. Di
vide the number of grains of silver
