Is This Fiat Money?

1 of this year, the profits were $4,567, S23, MAX
ing the net profits the coinage of silver for the
thirty-four years, 6,414,336. The seigniorage
on minor coins from 1878 to 1911 inclusive was
$38,970,936.
"The Treasury Department has now in it's
vaults gold coin and bullion to a greater value
than ever before in it's history and nearly double
that of any of the great foreign nations The
total gold in the Treasury on August % Of this
year $1,221, 169,327 of which amount $@
O0S,197179 was in gold coin and nearly $216,-
100000 in bullion. One hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars of the total is held for the redemp-
ton of United States notes and Treasury notes of
1890, and $1,047, 5G8.269 is held for the redemp-
ton of gold certificates outstanding"
You may not need to be told that ''seign-
forage" is the difference between the price
which is paid for the crude metal and the
amount of money that it is coined into.
For example, the Government pays. Is
cents for pound of copper, and then coins
146 cents out of it, The 'seigniorage'' in that
case is the difference between Is cents and
146 cents.
The Government makes profit of t2S
cents on that one pound of copper.
But the point / wish to make is that the
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-09-05

copper in the 146 pennies is worth only Is
cents, yet it passes current as 146 cents.
Why9
Because the Government says, by its stamp,
and the 1aa0 behind the stamp, that each of
the 146 coins is one cent.
LII the Government can make IS cents
worth of copper pass for 146 cents, in money,
why couldn't the same Government do the
same thing with lead, or zinc, or tin, or
paper?
When the fat-or mandate-of the Gov
eminent puts extra value into copper, or sill
yer, or gold, no outcry is heard
But if you mention paper, the crockery
begins to rattle
Why?
Because the national bankers want 10 con-
troll the real money of commerce, to-wit:
paper.
The Bull Moose platform is dead light on
the money question.
Bryan had the making of the Democratic
platform at Baltimore, and he deliberately
abandoned the historic Democratic position
on the money question.

FROM the New York american, the fol-
lowing is taken:
U. S. COINAGE PROFITS REACH 1905, 1885, 72.
lowing IS taken


This Enormous Amount is Segniorage That Has
Accrued to Government in Last Forty Years.
Profits amounting to enormous in the
last forty years. realized by the United States
Government through the minting Of minor coins
Some interesting data on this subject is given
in the monthly circular of the National City Bank,
issued today, follows:
ut is fact, perhaps not generally known, that
the seigniorage, or profit, which has accrued to
the Government from the coinage of silver, nickel
and bronze pieces during the last forty years has
amounted to $205, ,272. This is approx
mately four-hfths of the entire cost Of the con-
struction of the Panama Canal to date.
1.-THE profits can best be understood by the
statement that the cost of copper from which
cents made is about 8 cents a pound
and each pound coins 146 cents. The cost of. the
nickel from which five cent pieces are made is
1885 cents per pound, each pound coming ninety
nickels.
The net profits silver from 1878 to 1909
were S157,467,155. The year following the
profits $2,468,685, and in 1911 they

were frlendless. The masses were held in con-
tempt-utterly despised. The privileged few
reveled in wealth, vice and infamy
Such was the state of Pagan civilization when
the Cathohc Church entered upon it's work of
naturalization. 1t was tremendous task All
the prlnclpalities and powers were arrayed
against the civilization. 1t stood for the
brotherhood of man. It's attitude was an indict-
ment OF the whole Pagan world. Prisons were
filled, fagots famed and the earth ran red with
the blood Of martyrs. The cross finally tri-
umphed, but the decisive battle between the new
and old civilizations not won until the 18th
century when John Sobieshi, the Catholic King
of Poland, defeated the invading hordes of
heathenism at the siege of Vienna.
The philosophy of the ancients, even among
the greatest, inhuman.
Marcus Aurelius held that it was weakness to
pity the unfortunate.
According to Seneca, mercy is a vice of ethe
heart, and that 1.-The true sage is devoid of pity
Cicero held that mo one is compassionate
unless he is foolish or thoughtIess."
I have quoted Mr.. Windle at length, in
order that you may have in full his point of
view. He cannot accuse me of "garbling."
In addition to what he says in the extract
given, he proceeds to repeat the shelf-worn
statement that women were Slaves" under
pagan civilization, and that children had no
rights.
1t is popularity of Mr.. Windle that he
meVer cites an, authority.
He makes all sorts of absurd statements
and never offers any proof whatever.
For instance he says that millions" of
men were killed in sham sea-fghts, for the
amusement of the Roman populace.
A more ridiculous falsehood was never put
in print
I, now, most respectfully challenge him to
produce the evidence upon which he based his
wild assertion.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-09-05

1t is true that the Romans were brutal in
their pleasures, and that they loved to see
men hight each other in the arena. and to
fight hons, tigers and bulls
But does not Mr.. Windle know that the
modern Latins, who are such devout Roman
Catholics, have perpetuated those gladiatoriaP
amusements?
Does he not know that the bull-ight is the
national pastime of Romanist Spain, Roman
lst Portugal, Romanist South America?
Does he not know that the modern bull
tight IS as brutal as were the games in the
old pagan arena?
More men have lost their lives, in bull
tights, to entertain Roman Catholic ladies and
gentlemen in Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Cuba,
Central America, and South America, than
ever soaked with human gore the sands Of
Rome's amphitheatre.
Has the Papa ever put his ban upon the
brutal bull-fght?
Has he ever interposed to stop this disem-
bowelllng of horses by the maddened bulls,
the torturing of the bulls by toreadors and
matadors, and the goring of men by the
furiouask9vines?
How silly, then is it for Mr. Windle to
refer to the ancient brutalities of national
sport!
The priests themselves patronise and attend
these modern bull-fghts, where man and
beast are slaughtered to make a Roman
Catholic holiday.
No SUCH 50r5arities are the fred customs
OF Protestant nations.
Public opinion will not tolerate the killing
of men and beasts for public entertainment.

(No. 6.)

I is part of his performance for Mr..
Wlndle to pose as non Catholic.
Whether he has deceived any one, do not
know
The most casual reading of his pamphlet
should be enough to convince the intelligent
that he is not only a Romanist, but blind,
tanatlcal Romanist.
Hear We him:
While would not rob any man, race or creed
OF their share of glory in carrying forward the
work OF civilization, truth cOmpes to say that
the Catholic Church was the first Chris
t1an organization to consecrate itself to the mis-
sion of retaining mankind from savagery She
planted the first banner of civilization upon the
ramparts of Paganism and single-handed and
alone sustained the battle for nearly fifteen hun
dred years prior to the birth of Professionalism
During the first centuries her martyrs persisted
by hundreds of thousands. For a long while it
was a serious question whether the Church could
survive. Her standard of civilization was not so
nigh as it is today, but it so much higher
and grander than the Papal standard then pre-
Vailing that it won over the greatest and best of
mankind. The work was rough at times and
many things done that would not be
approved today, but which owing to the times
and lack of light, seemed good and proper
Fresh from the ranks of Paganism, some of the
early converts to Christianity retained many of
their cruel and savage traits of character.
Before one can understand the true value of
Catholicism's contribution to civilization it is
necessary to know the conditions which prevailed
throughout the world in the early stages of her
struggle. The question must be examined as
whole.
The stories of Plato Tacitus Juyenal and
Sutonius reveal the horrors of Pagan society," the
deprayity of the ruling classes, and the utter
rottenness of the so-called civilization of their
time. Much of what they said is unprintable.
Prisoners of war had no rights, slaves no
hope, the debtor liberty, the sick and poor no
sympathy, and as for the old and weak, they

ABOLISH TAX-RATE LIMIT.
Joseph Walker Advocates Such step
at Legislative Hearing.

Joseph Walker, speaking before
the joint committee OF the Massachu-
sets Legislature on municipal fl
nance, declared emphatically for abo-
lition of the limit on the tax rate.
Said he:
''In order to put our cities on a
sound financial basis, the first step is
to abolish the limit on the tax rate.
The endeavor to keep within the
legal tax rate leads directly to exces-
sive borrowing" His program is:
First, that there should be debt
limit, to be hard and fast except in
cases Of emergency;
Third, that the Legislature should
not authorize money to be borrowed
outside the debt limit except after in
vestigation and report;
Fourth, that the objects for which
money may be borrowed should be
fixed by law;
Fifth, that money should not be
borrowed for annual expenditures,
even if the objects of such expendi-
lures be permanent improvements;
Sixth that all municipal loans
should be issued in serial form;
Seventh, that there be annual State
inspection and audit Of municipal
corporations;
Eighth, that here be uniform ac-
counting and reporting, and
Ninth. that supervision OF munhi-
palites be given to the Bureau OF
Statistics.
There should be hard and fast
debt limit. Probably there should be
lodged in some State authority, pow
er to authorize loans to meet emer-
gencies.
"The authorization OF loans with
in the debt limit can be safely en-
trusted TO the municipality. No money
should be borrowed outside the debt
limit without legislative authority"

PRISON-MADE GOODS.
Rev. George L. Cady Wants Them
Taken from Open Market.

To compel all charitable institu-
tions run by the State to purchase
nothing but prison-made goods, and
to exclude these same goods from the
open market is part of the plan of
the Rev. George l.. Cady, pastor OF
the Pilgrim Congregational Church OF
Dorchester, who declared that Massa-
chusetts penal institutions are among
the most backward in the nation and
that the State Prison at Charfestown
should be moved into the country.
The Rev. Mr.. Cady declares that
the State Prison has no machinery
but what is so antiquated that it is
absolutely untitled to teach the Grim
inal any useful occupation for him TO
follow when he returns to the world.
"A prisoner ought TO be Taught TO
operate modern machine, for IL he
is he can get Job operating a sim
liar machine when he gets out of
jail" said the Rev. Mr. Cady. I'm

That Third Amendment.

of this state 10 look upon the third
amendment to the constitution with
favor. II concerns taxation OF timber

posed would be adopted by the people.
There is much disappointment in

rumor was in circulation the last OF
the week the convention might be
called together again for a resubmis-
sion OF this amendment 10 the people.
The president Of the convention, Hon.
Edwin r. Jones, has the power to catl
II together and the amendment could
be submitted TO the voters OF towns
at the March election while special
election could be called for the cities.
One OBJECTION MIGHT be the lack OF
