Honest Grover for Honest Money.
[Grover Cleveland’s Letter of Acceptance.] The people are entitled to sound and honest money abundantly sufficient in volume to supply their business needs, but whatever may be the form of the people’s currency, national or state—whether gold, silver or paper—it should be so regulated and guarded by governmental action, or by wise and careful laws, that no one tan be deluded as to (he certainty and stability of its value. Every dollar put into the hands of tho people should be of the same intrinsio value or purchasing power. With this condition absolutely guaranteed both
gold and silver can be safely utilized upon equal terms in the adjustment of our currency. In dealing with this subject no Hellish scheme should be allowed to intervene and no doubtful experiment should 1)6 attempted. Thd wants of our people arising from the deficiency or imperfect distribution of money circulation ought to be fully and honestly recognized and efficiently remedied. It should, how ever, bo constantly remembered that the inconvenience or loss that might arise from such a situation can be much easier borno than the universal distress which must follow a discredited currency.
