Little attention was paid to the act
of 1873 discontinuing coinage Of sill
yer dollars, later referred to as the
Crime of 1878" because for several
years silver had been worth more as
bullion than as coins.
But about that time numerous
European countries went on the gold
standard, abandoning silver, and sill
yer production in the United States
jumped from less than 100000 in
1851 to $45 100000 by 1878.

Treasury began to feel the drain Of its

panic OF 1898 was blamed on silver, but
when prosperity failed to return quickly,
silver advocates said more silver and
not less was needed.

The climax came in 1896. Hardly
known in national politics, Bryan, the
36-year- "Commoner," swept the
Democratic convention with his "cross
of gold" speech and became its presi.
dental choice. The Gold Democrats"
bolted to Independent candidates and
the Republican Mckinley took a stand
for the gold standard, and was elected.
In March, 1900, the gold standard
act was made law
The panic of 1907 convinced many
of a need of reform Of the banking,
rather than the money system. with
the result that the Federal Reserve
system was created in the Wilson ad-
and it was thought that
panics and depressions had been made
impossible.
But then came the World War, with
its attendant imitation at home and
abroad, deprecated currencies, gold
boarding by governments and individ-
uals, and finally the crash Of 1893
against which background the money
issue has returned in 1888.

MONEY ILLUSION
SCORED BY FISHER
Yale Economist Says Ba'oney
Dollar Was That of
Yesterday.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 2.-Declaring
that the "bologny dollar Is not the dol
lar of tomorrow-it's the dollar of yes
terday," Prof. Irving Fisher tonight said
'tonlorrow's dollar will be Straight
goods if no one trips the President"
The Yale economist, addressing the
Young America Institute, raped the
money illusion" Of bankers and gave
praise to the monetary program Of the
administration
II can see several reasons for the
special hostility of American bankers
toward MI. Roosevelt and his bold, but
absolutely sound and studious monetary
policy" he said, adding:
smartinq me under fSs Their recent @ dose Of un- m
popularity, and they cannot forget that
Mr.. Roosevelt took Office with remark
about money changers.
Fear Business Loss.
In the second place, they fear that
some Of their business will get into the
hands Of the Government. Already. the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
inherited from Mr.. Hoover. is taking
over some of their work.
But chiefly the bankers swear by
gold. G0ld IS tnelr CraQltlOn OF StaDlIlty.
And the President to them seems to be
tampering with something sacred.
This view of gold is part of what I
call the money illusion and this illu-
sion affects, practically without excep-
tion, every human being who has not
specialized in the science Of money"
Mentions Warren.
Only a handful of people in the
world, Prof. Fisher said, have even an
inkling of the meaning Of money. Only
a minority of economists have studied
the subject exhaustively. A smaller pro-
portion of bankers have even reflected
on It and a still smaller proportion of
business men"
Among the notable exceptions" the
Yale economist listed Prof. George
Warren of Cornell, monetary adviser
to the President
Strangely enough" Fisher declares,
1--WE all recognize imitation when We
hear 1t talked up but not all of us can
see the def1ation right under our noses.
Hence, it scares some of us to hear
that Mr. Roosevelt intends to initiate
our circulation back to somewhere near
the point from which 1t was first
debated"

Vatican City newspaper, Osservatore

balism in Russia" today as Maxim Lit
vinoff. the Russian foreign conmissar.

The Osservatore's article included
what were called testimonials, attributed
to the Journal De Genev, saying that
cannibalism was being practiced on an
increasing scale In Siberia and other re-
mote regions as a result Of the people s
disillusionment and utter disinclination
to work under the Communist regime"
The newspaper asserted people were
dying of starvation everywhere while
desperate parents kept children indoors
to protect them from abduction and
death.
The article mentioned several alleged

The 80 years history of the United

count of an almost continual money

Even today, as arguments rage about
the Roosevelt administrator money
policies, echoes from the earlier struggle
come rolling on.

Cleveland perhaps the most hated and

ments, and finally witnessed the cli-
matte campaign Of William Jennings
Bryan in 1896.
Norman Angel writing in 1929 in
his boot Money" of early American
financial history, said, In some sense
hard money became associated with
Toryism, monarchism, and oppression,
and paper money with democracy,
freedom and rights Of the people"
This political cleavage originating In
Colonial days was accentuated In the
later agitations over greenbacks and
free coinage Of silver.
Greenback Battle.
The battle over the greenbacks had
It's origin in the issue OF $3.50 100000 OF
legal tender bills, unsupported by specie,
during the Civil War.
The first act of Congress in 1865, was
to provide for gradual retirement OF this
non-interest bearing debt, but two years
later Congress reScinded its action.
Finally after the Democrats had re-
gained control of the Lower House fol-
lowing the panic Of 1873, lame duck
Congress in 1875 enacted the resumption
act, providing for specie payments for
the greenbacks by January l, 1879.
The greenbacks reached parity with
gold in 1878
But continual need for fresh capital
in the West resulted in organization OF
the GTeenback party in 1876. The
party put up presidential candidates, In
three elections. and in the 1878 con-

We have not gone into the sit- uation extensively enough to dis cover what the composite or av- craze major ball player would look like, if anything, but our re- search department comes up with some rare exhibits, to show the extremes in the physical makeup of the talent now being assembled for spring testing.
 There is some question whether the rosters tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so far as the vital statistics are concern ed. If they do, the only real ri- vals for honors of the dread nought' class are Bob Fothergill, 230-pound outzielder of the Boston Red Sox, and Babe Ruth, listed for a mere 220 pounds.
 The suspicion is that the Bam- bino will be closer to 230 than 220 when the 1883 season opens, but this may be doing him an in- justice. We will accept the offic- ial figures, with notation for later check-up.

Modern BaU Players Are sBabied' Too Much, Asserts
 One Catcher of Old Days

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March II. Add to the chorus of baseball's $ ancients crying out against the "softness" of modern baseball the voice of Jack zalusky, star catcher for the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs 30 years ago.
 Modern diamond athletes are "babied too much for their own good" says zalusky, now a guard at a Minneapolis bank. Nova days when a player gets some mil nor injury they immediately drag him off to a hospital. In my day when someone got hurt they just wrapped rag around his wound and he kept right on playing.
 And not only that" Zalusky adds, too much care is taken to see that they don't get over-work- cd. When broke into organized ball with Louisville in 1900 I caught l74 games without losing an in- ming. This was in' spite of various split fingers and spike cuts.
 Our pitchers often worked three or four games in a row, and for one man to pitch a double header wasn't unsual. Today a pitcher working two games in one day or two successive days is regarded as phenom."
 Despite moder ntales of inside baseball zalusky insists the pres end-day game isn't as scientific"
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-03-11

as it used to be. He calls Willie Keeler the most scientific batter of all time.
 The game of today, Jack says, would be improved measureably if the players would put heart and soul' into their work.
 Their primary purpose now, 1" he says, appears to be making money, not playing ball. Tn our days we played for the love of the game, and practiced hours before and after the game"
 Jack would like to see a game between his mythical all-star team of -timers-in their prime-and the pick of the modern games protagonists His 'all stars would have Ty Cobb, Keeler, Ed Dele hanty and Iris Speaker in the outfield. Frank Chance at first, Larry LaJoie at second, Jimmie Collins at third and Hans Wag- her at short, Johnny Kling and Jimmy Archer as catchers, and Rube Waddell, Christy Matthew son, Walter Johnson and Amos Rusie for a pitching staff.
 ZaluSky, now B, played with the Cubs in 1901 and the Yankees in 1908. He also played with Louis- vile, Indianapolis, St. Paul and Minneapolis of the American As sociation, and at Spokane, Wash, | Denver Colo, and Luxbury, Pa.
