dollar bill until notified by the
nation through the medium of
the redemption fund, that it
needed more money. Silver might
become plentiful as in the days
of Solomon and cheap as scrap
iron; gold might advance in value
another 100 per cent, and only
the fine arts be affected-the
American currency would main
tain the even tenor of its way,
the dollar be the same yester-
day, today and forever" The
unit of value could no more be
affected by the varying tecundity
of the mines, good or bad crops,
legislative inaptitude, war or
pestilence, than could the length
of the yard or weight of the
pound. The dollar would be
tripped to the commodity feature,
which makes it mutable. The
supply relative to the demand
would be ever the same. 1t
would measure each by all in
stea of itself, and, therefore, be
true and interchangeable denomi-
nator of value
Perhaps l have fixed the nor
NAL redemption fund at too high
figure; 100 millions were suf-
ficient but for the danger that
those interested in preventing
proper currency expansion might
buy and hold sufficient bonds to
make automatic operation of
such a system impossible. The
redemption fund must be too
large tor even Wall street manip-
ulation. There would be little
danger of any coterie of con-
spirators tying up $50 million in
government bonds, bearing
merely a nominal rate of inter-
est, while commerce was bidding
for more ready money. With so
large a redemption fund, and
bonds bearing even so high an
interest rate as IL per cent,
our exchange media would cost
US but S3,750,000 year, or less
than one tenth the annual COM
mercial interest on the wealth we
have investei in a metal tool of
trade.
1t will be exclaimed that this
is "fiatism." 1t is the hatism of
which DR.. Adam Smith fondly
dreamed and which his success
ors have unaualihedly approved.
1t is the fiatism of Thomas Jeffer-
son and Henry Clay. 1t is the
same fatism by means of which
95 per cent. of our exchanges are
now effected; for, as have fire.
quently pointed out, our "com-
mercial money" approXimating
40 billions, is not grounded on a

currency, which l propose, would

railroads. The railroad employees are

feeling among the railroad men Of
the state that the plank in the plat

effort will be made to eliminate the
railroad men and their families
when the legislature comes to pass
a law on the. pass question next
