why Not Say Golds

From the New York World.
While the action Of the House in re-
affirming the gold standard in the new
currency bill by a vote of 29S to So is
reassuring, it marks no financial prog
ress. Our currency is thing of
shreds and patches. Some of it Is
good. Much of 1t is inherently de-
based, and, except for the good faith
of government and people, would be
discredited.
So long as it is possible to rally in
Congress a considerable vote in favor
of fiat money and irredeemable silver,
1t is mistake to suppose that this
good faith viii never be challenged,
however little disposition there is at
present to challenge it. To base the
new currency upon gold or lawful
money" is to preserve the worst of
existing conditions; for lawful
money" is anything, whether paper or
fifty-cent silver dollars, that Congress
has made or may make legal tender.
II Congress means what 1t says
when il re- enacts the gold standard,
why does it not make the new federal
reserve notes redeemable in gold?
Why compromise with notorious er-
ror? These notes are to constitute a
great portion of our regular circulat-
ing medium. In times of stringency
they will be largely increased in vol
ume under trying conditions.
The purpose of the new law is sup
posed to be the creation of currency
that will be absolutely unquestioned,
In stormy days no less than when the
skies are clear. Redemption In gold
leaves nothing to speculation, delu-
sion or accident. Then why not pro-
vide for redemption in gold and in
nothing else?

there was more comfort.
Captain Smith, later governor, was
absent much of the time, buying food
from the Indians. Two years after

that followed were called the starv-

four hundred settlers died
Yet through many tribulations,
jamestown lived. In 1908 it was
burned, and other cabins were built.
In 1919 word was sent that a repre-

portion of ground, and plantations
were gradually laid out along the
