SCIENTIFIC JIONEY SUCCESSES THAT ACCOMPANIED CUR* RENCV MADE OF PAPER. It Hm Bm«lt Victory In Wnr nnd Prosperity In ftae*—Wbat History, Ancient and Modern, Tenches Us In This Bespeot. Will We Ever Leant Wisdom? In a republic every voter is a statesman, or ought to be. * By his ballot lie helps to make or destroy his country’s prosperity. He should study the history of nations and discover the canker-worm that has from time to time destroyed the tree of liberty and caused the downfall of popular government To this end let ns briefly examine the lesson so plainly taught in the world’s history for the past 8,000 years, that government paper money is the Aladdin’s lamp that gives victory in war and prosperity in peace to the nation that adopts it Allison, the great historian, statesman and philosopher, in his history of Europe, second series, volume 1, chapter 10, thus calls attention to the first dear demonstration of this economic truth: “The great contest between Rome and Carthage, which Hannibal and Sdpio conducted and Livy has immortalised, was determined by a decree of the senate, induced by necessity, which postponed the payment of all obligations of the public treasury in specie to the conclusion of the war, and thereby created an inconvertible paper currency for the Roman empire. More even than the slaughter on the Metaurus, the triumph of Zama, this decree determined the fate of the ancient world, for it alone equipped the legions by whom those victories were gained. ’’ In other words, Rome issued greenbacks, and these gave her victory and prosperity. But the learned author adds, * 'Rome itself, saved in its utmost need by an expansion, sank in the end under a still greater contraction of the national currency. ” The next lesson is furnished by Venice, whose government bank received the people’s coin on deposit and gave them credit therefor on the books of the bank. Instead of issuing a paper money the same result was practically accomplished by transferring these credits on the bankbooks from one person to another in making payments and exchanges. The coin, except subsidiary coin for small change, was used for foreign transactions, while these bank

crams were cue nome money. ims permanent^ uonfluctuating home money was the prime secret of the power and prosperity that Venice enjoyed for 600 years. When Napoleon captured Venice and raided the bank for its supposed wealth of gold and silver, he found only books of accounts—wealth to them, but worthless to him. Ne^t we notice the assignats, the pa* per money of the French revolution. Issued by the assembly—a mob of revolutionists—and in quantity that would seem excessive, yet this paper money overthrew the French monarchy, cut off the headB of Louis XVI and the queen and the “young rooster” king, broke the power and oppression of the nobility, confiscated their vast landed estates, and, in fact, made the revolution a suooess. Without it the revolution would not have succeeded Then came Napoleon on the scene, conquering and plundering the nations of their gold and silver. He seemed a veritable apparition, indomitable, irresistible. As in the case of Rome, necessity compelled the Bank of England to suspend specie payments. A paper money was issued guaranteed by the allied powers, and it circulated at par from the seaboard to the Rhine With all his gold and silver, this paper money overthrew Napoleon at Waterloo. Our own Revolutionary war was fought with paper money. Our fathers had no other kind England, finding herself unable to conquer by other means, attempted to break down the continental money by counterfeiting it She flooded the colonies with the counterfeit, bringing over at one time a shipload of it Thus made so plentiful, it became very cheap, hut it still circulated and was the money of man, of liberty and patriotism, and it finally whipped her and drove her off the continent In our late civil war both sides adopted paper money, and the contest became cme of numbers and other resources. Had one adopted paper money and the other had not, the contest would have been of short duration.

Hiat-ory also records that when the j war has ended the nation that is amply j supplied with its own paper money finds its laborers all employed, and the ham of peaceful industry, childhood’s merry laugh and cheer of happy homes are heard throughout the land. History also tells us that when the patriot soldier lays down his arms and returns to the peaceful walks of civil life the goldbug ghouls and Shylocks get control of the government, and the paper money that has given the country j victory in war and prosperity in peace ' is retired, and the bonds and coupons of ! greed, of avarice and slavery are substi- I toted. And this is what is being done in otxr j country now, and it is being argued I that it is just the thing to do because it is what has been done by others. Why should we travel this road that history • so clearly says leads to the grave of lib- ! erty and the cemetery of dead nations? I —John H. Cherry in Chicago Express, j That BUwd Mr. J.
