ual, and to conceal her tears, the en-
press wore large white hat, fast
ened under her chin, which with it's
deep front, shaded the whole of the
upper part of the face. Napoleon
also had shown marks of the strong
est agitation; he scarcely spoke to
any one, but with arms folded, con-
tinued at intervals to pace his library
alone; from time to time convulsive
movement, attended with a hectic
flush, passed for AN instant across
his features, and at table when he
raised his eye it was only to look by
stealth upon the empress with an ex-
preston Of the deepest regret. The
dinner was removed untouched
neither tasted morsel; and the on
ly use to which Napoleon turned his
knife was to strike mechanically up
on the edge of his glass, which he
appeared to do unconsciously and
as one whose thoughts were painful
ly pre-occupied. Everything during
this sad repast seemed to presage
the impending catastrophe. Even
the officers of the court who were in
attendance stood in motionless ex-
pectancy, like men who look upon
sight they feel portends evil, though
what they know not; not a sound
was heard beyond the noise of plac-
ing and removing untasted viands,
and the monotonous tinkling already
noticed; for the emperor spoke only
once to ask question, without giving
any attention to the reply.
"We dined together as usual, +"
says Josephine; "I struggled with
my eyes; uttered not single word
during that sorrowful meal, and he
broke silence but once, to ask an at
tendant about the weather. My sun
shine, [ saw, had passed away; the
storm burst quickly. Directly after
coffee, Bonaparte dismissed every
once, and I remained alone with
him"
The evident change in Bonaparte's 8
domestic arrangements, which on this
day first took place, seemed to indi-
cate to Josephine that her caresses
were no longer indispensable to the
happiness of her husband. She had
risen as usual from table with Ma
poleon, whom she slowly followed into
the saloon, and with handkerchief
pressed upon her mouth, to restrain
the sobbing which, though inaudible,
shook her whole frame. The emper-
or having drunk his coffee returned
the cup to the page, an dby sign in
dicated his wish to be alone, shut
ting with his own hand the door of
the saloon.
We know from Josephine own
words what passed during this secret
interview: "I watched in the chang
ing expression Of his countenance
that struggle which was in his soul.
At length his features settled into
stern resolve. 1 saw that my hour was
near; shuddering horror came over

Congress has the right under the con-
stitution to issue paper money it was
given them to be used by themselves
and not delegated to corporations or
individuals. | wish all the money of
the nation, whether gold, silver, cop
per or paper, was based, not upon the
coin, or other money, but upon the
credit and resources of the country
The Supreme Court has twice de-
cided that legal tender paper money
IS In cOnsonnance with our constitu-
ton (see section u, Wallace, page
SIS, also volume II, page 548) There
fore congress has the power to make
money out of whatever material it
see proper; that is, print the fat Of
law, its units Of account on any sub
stance suitable and declare it a full
legal tender and regulate the volume
Of the same. Let s hear from Thomas
Jefferson again: Treasury notes Sc
cured by pledges Of the faith and
credit of the government with or
without interest will make better cur
rency than gold or silver" Again
he says: "The only resource which
the government could command with
certainty, the states unfortunately
fooled away may, allienated to
swindlers and shavers under the cover
of private banks" Again (1813, vol
ume 6, pages 100, 2OO) "Bank paper
must be suppressed and the circulat-
ing medium must be restored to the
nation to whom it belongs. It is the
only fund upon which they can rely
for loans; it is the only resource
which can never fail them, and 1t is
an abundant one for every purpose,
whereas, the usurpation Of that fund
by bank paper obliging them to bor-
row elsewhere doubles the expense of
every war;"
And here is from John c.. Calhoun:
Why compel the people to pay in
terest on government credit through
the bank when said credit could be
extended direct to the people without
interest, place the issuing of money
in the hands of a combination Of a
few individuals and they expanding
or contracting the currency-may
raise or sink prices at pleasure, and
by purchasing when at the greatest
depression and selling at the great
est elevation may command the whole
property Of the community and thus
place the destinies Of the many in the
hands Of few."

port armies, and provide and main
tain a navy. Congress has no more
right to authorize private banking
corporations to coin money and issue
it to the citizens than it would to au-
thorize war, raise and support armies
and provide and maintain a navy.
When the civil war broke out vasts
sums OF money were required. But
the treasury was empty, the gold and
silver money of the country had fed.
What was to be done? Neither
American nor foreign capitalists
would loan money to the government.
On any reasonable terms money
changers rendered loans to the gov
ernment at from 20 to 36 per cent
(see Appleton's Encyclopedia, page
1861 as a result Congress exercised
constitutional right and began to
coin (make) money. Sixty million
of treasury notes were issued and
made full legal tender Subsequent
issues were made Of limited legal
tender paper money. Government
notes were also foated in small de-
nominations, which We're negotiable
and passed as money Fractional
money, state bank notes, and national
bank notes were also served. We had
on July 1, 1865, in fractional cur
rency, state bank notes, United States
notes, national bank notes and spe-
Gle, a total Of $770,129,860 (see treas
ury report). The Southern States
had issued an enormous amount of
Confederate script, and with it waged
the mightiest war of modern times.
Their efforts failed and their money
with it. About four years later the
war commenced, in August, 1865, the
public debt amounted to $2,8S5, ,907,-
426, and included in this huge noun
tain Of Indebtedness, there were $l,>
54O,OOO,O0O of treasury notes, either
payable on demand or bearing inter-
est, of which more than $1,500,000,-
600 was legal tender. We remem-
ber well the booming prosperity of
these times from 1865 to 1870. When
no man was idle unless idleness was
a matter of choice with him. There
was no difficult in finding work at
renumerative wages. We then had
500 per capita and America bloomed
with prosperity as never before-an
was peace and happiness. The small
dealers and manufacturers could find
profitable fields for the exercise OF
their energies. Farmers were pros
porous and happy, but alas, how soon
our prosperity ended. Shylock, with
her greedy NAV, appeared in the
funding act Of April, 1866, and en-
powered the secretary of the treasury
to call in these interest bearing notes
and fund them into 500 6 per cent
bonds-funding, says Thomas Jeffer-
son, is simply robbing the people on
a grand scale. The secretary was au-
thorized to call in and destroy four
million Of the United States notes, or
greenbacks, each month. From the
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-11-28

the further destruction Of the green
backs-a bill passed March Is, 1869
credit strengthening act made all
bonds payable in coin-the act Of
July IA, 1870, refunds the enormous
debt into ten, twenty and thirty year
bonds bearing 5-4 1-2 and per cent
interest, respectively, payable in coin.
The act of February 16, 1873, stop
ped the coinage of the standard silver
dollar This train Of financial legis-
lation contracted the money volume
and eliminated in a tremendous bust
ness panic and general distress. The
resumption Act Of January IA, 1875,
provided that specie payments should
be resumed January Il, 1879, but i'll
1878 the further retiring Of the green
back was prohibited and the Bland
Allison bill was passed, which obliged
the secretary Of the treasury to pur>
chase and coin not less than two, and
not more than four, million per
month. On July IA, 1890, the Sher-
man law passed, which compelled the
purchase of 4,500,00o ounces Of fine
silver to be paid for in new issue of
legal tender notes. In the fall of
1893 the Purchase Clause Of the Sher-
man Law was repealed by the Demo-
Gratis, and my friends you remember
that bonds were sold by John Sher-
man to establish the reserve fund in
the treasury, and by Cleveland to re-
plenish that fund. That fund was
placed there as the metallic base for
our greenbacks. Sherman sould $780,
100000 worth of bonds to get it. We
have paid $100OOO,0OO interest on
these bonds since they were issued.
Cleveland sold $262,0OO,OOO of bonds
In time of peace to protect that re-
seIye-the metallic basis. We are
paying about $10,000,000 annually as
interest on that When the bullion
ist want to force the issue of more
bonds all they have to do is to gather
some of our coin redemption money
and make a raid on the basis-the re-
serve fund in the treasury. We are
absolutely at their mercy. That is
what the metallic basis means-bonds
to secure the coin upon which to base
the paper money. That is the sum
and substance Of the coin redemption
theory. We now quote the sayings Of
a few leading statesmen.
Wendell Phillips said: "The pres
ent system Of finance robs labor,
gorges capital, makes the rich richer,
and the poor poorer, turns a repub-
lie into an aristocracy Of capital" f"
Again he said: "The war extended
the nominal era Of freedom SO as to
include the black man, but it did not
make him free, nor will he or his
white brothers ever be free, until
both he and they can retain in their
pockets the wealth which they
create"
