The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-12-12

Who decides what this substance shall be?
The government
It necessarily follows that the government
has the power to select any substance which
it thinks best fitted for the purpose.
BY universal consent, the governing classes
have preferred the precious metals, gold and
silver
If, by the discovery of enormous deposits
of gold the governing classes become con-
WINGED that it will be cheap, they rush to what
is known as the silver basis; that actually
happened soon after the discovery of gold in
California, before the Civil War.
On the other hand, if discoveries of vast
deposits of silver are made, as happened in
the early 70's, the governing classes suddenly
find out that silver is undesirable, and they
move heaven and earth to have it made sub
ordinate to the yellow metal; that happened
in 1873
The Democrats used to call it the Crime Of
1873, and they packed it off on old John Sher-
man when, as a matter of fact, it was certain
Democratic Senators who worked the trick.
1t must be obvious to you, therefore, that
whoever controls the money, other things be-
ing equal, controls prices, and whoever con-
trolls prices, rules the world; he can increase
the supply of money, and other commodities
will go up; he can decrease the supply Of
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-12-12

I N the old primitive days, when a man
who had surplus cow could swap it to
neighbor, and take his change" in several
goats, nobody needed any money.
In many parts of the world, even at the
present day, one surplus is bartered for an
other.
A savage who has many daughters, will ex-
change one of them with neighboring saw
age for a certain number of cattle, or, savage
whose wives have raised more corn than he
will need, will exchange the surplus with
some other savage for some other product.
In our own country, this primitive system
of commerce used to be worked, and very sue
cessfully.
In Virginia, tobacco was agreed on as the
medium of exchange; everything was paid in
tobacco.
The keeper, the juryman, the
preacher, the doctor, the lawyer and those in
Office were all paid in the weed
In Tennessee raccoon skins and other peltry
were used.
1t would be easy to multiply instances, but
these will suffice.
Now, as civilization develops, men pass
from the stage of barter, and enter that of
purchase and sale, consequently it becomes
necessary to agree on some substance which
shall be received everywhere as money.

We Democrats Are Up i'm the Air, just Little Bit

AM sorry to have to tell you that We Dem
ocrats are trife anxious about our future.
Of course we ought to be heartily ashamed
OF our past, for we have broken more promises
than any political party that ever made a
speciality of the promise business.
just cast your mind backward, and call UP
the platforms upon which we have riduen
into office.
We denounced the wicked Republicans for
burning up the greenbacks, under which cot
ton was selling at % cents pound, and labor
was commanding its own price, and English
goods were holding down American manu-
lacturers to a reasonable price.
However, we changed our minds about it,
when we got to Washington City, and we
thought it best to help the wicked Republi-
cans in their destruction of the paper money
o. the government.
We did so.
Such tremendous slaughter of government
money was never seen since Great Britain,
after the Napoleonic wars, destroyed the paper
currency which had taken her through the
storm.
Historians agree that the English people
suffered greater disasters from the contraction
of her currency, than Napoleon had been able
to infict upon her.
In the dreadful record of failures which
took place in this country while We Demo
Gratis and Republicans were burning up paper
currency, all honest and capable historians
will recognize the appalling fact that the four
years of Civil War did less damage to the
property of our Republic than was done by
the joint action of We Democrats and the
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-12-12

money, and other commodities will go down.
Can you not realize that this tremendous
power should belong to the government, and
not to any individual?
At this very moment one man, j. p Nor
gan, could wreck every mercantile venture,
every railroad, every factory, every private
fortune, if he saw fit to do So
He is our money king, therefore he is, in
fact, our king.
All the foregoing is reliminary to my COM
mentary on the fact that certain newspapers
seem frightened because of the report that
Mr. Bryan, Chats William Jennings), is
studying the money question, with view to
using his influence to have the incoming
Democratic administration take back from
the National bankers the sovereign power to
create money.
For my part, sincerely trust that Mr..
Bryan has been correctly reported.
If he will take that line Twill fight with
him, shoulder to shoulder.
Now is good time to start that battle, for
the charters of the National Banks, unless my
memory is at fault, will soon expire
Elsewhere our readers will find a splendid
editorial which appeared in the old Missouri
World, of Dixon and Langford, while we
were making the hot campaigns of the COS.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-12-12

A more recent instance was the Tariff
reform victory which we won under Grover
Cleveland.
Mckinley had put the expenses of the gov
eminent up to one billion dollars for every
two years; he was also the father of tariff
bill which the manufacturers had dictated.
So we beat Mckinley, and put old Cleve-
land In for four years more of Grover.
But when we got to Washington City
things looked different, and we changed our
minds
We thought it best, under the circumstances,
to help the wicked Republicans give the man
ufacturers such tariff as would satisfy them
The late Henry 0. Havemeyer, who is per
haps now in Glory Though more probably in
the other place. told us exactly what he
wanted, IN the way of a monopoly on sugar,
and we gave it to him.
Indeed, we could hardly do anything else,
for he had bought it in advance, by way of
huge contribution to our campaign DOODLE
The very pious Thomas f. Ryan fixed the
tobacco schedule to suit himself and James B.
Duke.
Out of that schedule grew the bloated for
tunes Of the tobacco lords and the wretched
poverty of the producers of tobacco
But as | said at the beginning, We Demo
Gratis are not bothering our heads about our
past, it's our future that is worrying us.
We have captured every department of the
Government, and we cannot any longer make
the wicked Republicans responsible for our
own sins.
The whole country has been aroused our

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-12-12

wicked Republicans in reducing to ashes
about eighteen hundred million dollars of
paper money.
Then again, you remember that we prom
ised to repeal the National Bank Act, and we
reminded the country how bitterly Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew Jackson had fought
National Banks.
But when we got to Washington City,
things looked different and we changed our
minds.
We thought it best to help the Republicans
renew the charters of these National Banks,
and we did so.
X
Of course you cannot have forgotten what
We Democrats promised TO- do about free
silver.
Our language in denouncing the wicked Re
publlcans for having reduced the coinage of
silver to something like four million dollars
per month, was extremely abusive
The Crime of 1873, which we put on the
Republicans, was the objectionable sin of
American politics.
The people elected us to give them the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, which we
had for many years, been promising to do if
we got the chance
But when we got to Washington City
things looked different, and we changed our
minds we thought it best, all things con-
sidered, to help the Republicans one more
time, and to close the minis to silver alto
gether, except as a subordinate metal.
We did so.
