Some Weak Points in the Currency Sys-

can create money, whether coin or
currency, and as there is no authori-
ty in the Constitution, or in the
amendments thereto, to delegate that
power, it is a perpetual bar to any
attempt to delegate such power to
State sovereignties, or to corpora
lions, State or Federal. The func-
lions of money are these, and only
these-tO represent value, measure
value, exchange value, and accumu-
late value by means of interest-and
this function can only be discharged
through the sovereign power creating
the circulating medium, whether
coin or currency, declaring both to be
a legal tender for all purposes within
the jurisdiction of the sovereign
power. The exigency which arose in
our history, and which was scandal
ously promoted to create a market
for Government bonds, through the
agency of national banks, and the is
sue of a national bank currency, has
passed never to return. History fur
nishes no parallel to the criminal
folly of an enlightened government
issuing interest bearing bonds as the
basis of currency medium when, by
the exercise Of the same authority, it
could have issued the currency di-
rect, made it legal tender, and
which would have borne no burden
of interest. 1t would stagger credulity
if the gigantic robbery of the people
could be computed. This act was the
genesis of Capitalization, today con-
demned. 1t is impossible to escape
the force of the logic which affirms
that money, whether currency or
coin, must be clothed with the power
of legal tender or it fails utterly to-
adequately perform the office for
which it was created. The national
bank currency is not today, and never
has been clothed with the power of
a legal tender currency-and has
circulated only by suffrance. The
writer had occasion to present this
view to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and his reply was that the ''Na-
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-05-12
tiona1 Bank currency WAS POTEN-

tionaI Bank currency WAS POTEN-
TALLY legal tender currency.
But there is no legislation in the his
tory of Congress, anywhere, at any
time, which defines potential legal
tender, or recognizes a legal mon
strosity.
If A. should recover a judgment
of one thousand dollars against B.
and he should tender the amount in
national bank currency and A.
should refuse to receive it on the
ground it was not legal tender, and
B. should ask the court for ruling,
could the court say it was potentially
a legal tender when there was no
law creating such M legal novelty?
No judge would smirch the ermine to
that extent. The incontestable fact
remains, there is no law by which
you can compel your creditor to re-
ceive national bank currency in dis
charge of your debt. The currency
should be interchangeable with coin
at par, but it is mistake to say one
kind of money redeems another kind
of money, for whether the money be
coin or currency the only logical re-
demption is when it is exchanged for
something of value. Between the
different kinds of money there is in
terchangeability, but redemption
only when it is exchanged for value.

NO LAW FOR OUR PRESENT
CURRENCY SYSTEM.

Dear Sir:-I find in your periodi-
calls much that is in harmony with
my own views upon the currency
question. In 1890, when the power
under the Constitution was vested in
the Congress "to coin money and
regulate the value thereof" the
money so authorized was confined to
the precious metals only, and the
verb "to COIN, would seem to cir
cumscribe the power. But the gen
orally acknowledged rules of con-
struction give to the verb "to coin"
the force of the verb "to make
thus charging the sphere of the
power so conferred to the use of any
medium which the law may designate
in the exercise of this sovereign
power.
1t can not be too strongly empha-
sized that none but sovereign power

and with "ghoulish glee" at the
Grass stupidity of the American peo-
pie and their representatives Mean
time it is plain that England builds
her Dreadnoughts and her Invinci-
bles with the profits she makes on
silver bought in the United States,
or, in other words, the American
people are taxing themselves every
year to build the British navy.
1t is hopeful that our Colorado
representatives at least, if not those
of all the other States whose interest
in the matter is no less, will soon
wake up to the fact that we are car
rying the heavy burden of the Old
Man of the Sea not only, but that of
our own government, by coming sub
sidiary money at 16 to 1, is thereby
taxing our silver miners, alone of
every class of American citizens,
three-ffths of the value of the prod
uct of their industry without word
of protest from their representatives
The happy definition of one of the
idiosyncracies Of his countrymen by
P. T. Barnum, as we'll as the cynical
epigram of. Walpole, have grim sig
nificance when applied to existing
monetary conditions in the United
States. Every dollar of our surplus
earnings is sent abroad to pay inter-
est on our bonds in the hands of
aliens and dividends on the best
properties in the United States own
ed by them and acquired through
the insensate legislation of our Con-
crosses and the infamous manipula-
ton of our finances by our Secre-
taries of the Treasury from Hugh
McCulloch down.
1t seems to me that the most i'm
portant, if not the paramount, po-
litical question of today is: How shall
we escape strangulation from the
malicious embraces of the Old Man
of the Sea?
The obvious and apparently the
only way to elude this peril is to
restore the coinage of the silver dol
lar at the existing ratio, which would
incontinently fix the price of silver
bullion at $1.29 an ounce so that the
British and other European govern
ments could no longer manipulate
our silver to their own aggrandize-
ment.
But this remedy scares the Ameri-
can people and the politicians out of
their wits as the story of other
ghosts, equally as silly, told by SINH
lar ignorant nurses or malignant
teachers to brighten children. The
use of gold coin and of silver dollars
as provided by the Constitution of
the United States, and of treasury
notes, all legal tender, in place of
the present dangerous bank notes,
would indubitably change our finan-
cial system from "the worst and
most dangerous system of currency
and banking to be found anywhere
in civilization" to one of reason and
justice and good sense.

A LETTER ON NATIONAL FL
NANCE.
NANCE.

many voyages was shipwrecked, but
escaped death by swimming to a
nearby island. Here he met ven
cradle gentleman who appeared
very infirm and whom, with mistaken
benevolence, he hoisted astride his
back to carry him across a brook
After they reached the other side
the old man refused to dismount, nor
could he be shaken off. 1t was the
Old Man of the Sea.
This story seems to typify our fl
nancial relations with Great Britain,
with artless and simple Uncle Sam
in the title role.
I have before me letter from the
director of the United States Mint in
answer to my inquiry which says:
''The largest silver coin made by
Great Britain is the crown, equiva-
lent at coinage value to $1.08 United
States money. The silver required
for domestic use is coined on COVE
eminent account from silver bullion
purchased for the purpose. The ratio
at which silver is coined by Great
Britain is 1 of gold to 1923 of sill
ver.'
1t is readily seen, therefore, that
the silver bullion which the govern
ment of Great Britain buys in the
market of the United States at SO
cents an ounce, comes out of the
English mint carrying with it gold
valuation of $1.44 an ounce, whereby
that astute government makes a clean
net profit off our Industrious silver
miners of "a cents an ounce"
The letter continues: SIN India
silver is coined exclusively on gov
eminent account from silver bullion
purchased and paid out in exchange
for gold at the rate of Is rupees to
the sovereign; the ration in coinage
is, therefore, 1 of gold to IS of sill
ver."
This silver bullion, then, also
bought in the United States market
at so cents an ounce, comes out of
the Bombay mint with a value in
gold attached to it of $1.37 an ounce.
Hence it is apparent to the most OBJ
fuse intelligence that Great Britain
makes another profit on this sure
thing transaction in India of 81 cents
an ounce off our Colorado silver
miners.
AS II this was not enough, the let
ter rubs it in as follows: "The Hong
coined on government account for
circulation in HongKong; and the
Straits settlement dollars are coined
on government account from bullion
purchased for the purpose. The ratio
for the Hong Kong and British dol
lar one of gold to 1912 of silver,
and the Straits Settlement dollar 1
of gold to 21.30 of silver"
This makes the "British dollar
used in Hong Kong worth in gold
$1.28 and the Straits Settlement dol
lar worth, also in gold, 81 cents an
ounce.
So you see that the Colorado sill
yer miner is cup against it" in every
direction. The Old Man of the Sea
gets him "a-comin' or a-gwine" and
he has no escape, but must "look
pleasant" while his pocket is openly
picked of II cents an ounce on Hong
Kong dollars and At cents on Straits
Settlement dollars.
So it appears that British dollars
are freely coined (not free coinage,
mind you, but) con government ac-
count" so that the government of
Great Britain, and not individual
owners of bullion, may make all the
profit, while the coinage of Ameri-
can dollars is suppressed for no other
apparent reason than to enable the
British government to enjoy all the

We guarantee to save you $1O3 on
your piano if you join our piano
club. You get piano worth $500
in any piano store in the country.
In other words, we sell you $500
Piano for 1927, saving to you of
$1O3, and ship your piano as soon as
you pay us only $40.
Our Club Plan
One hundred members make club-you and
80 Others These one hundred members all get
their pianos at one and the same time. Thus SELL
ing one hundred pianos at one time as we do,
can afford to sell for smaller margin of profit
than we could if we sold one piano at time. And
ne do exactly that.
A course of music lessons piano stool and
handsome scarf are included free.
This new scale piano. sold on our club plan, is
manufactured lots of 100, thereby efecting saw
ings in cost, while maintaining quality up to the
highest mark at all times. No matter how much
more we paid to manufacture Ludden q Bates
Cabinet Grand Pianos, we could not improve
them beyond their present merits. We have been
selling this same high grade of pianos for more
than Is years, and many of these old pianos are
still in use.
