The gold basis system is getting a black eye all over the world. The recent bank failures in Australia, where they have a gold basis, involved SIOO,000,000 of capital and $440,000,000 deposits. When a man borrows a bank note he pays interest on what the bank owes him instead of what he owes the bank. Nice scheme, this national and state business. “Best banking system in the world” —for the banker.
Between their promises to the people and the demands of Wall street the Democrats are in two pecks of trouble. As it is easier to fool the people, however, than to fool Wall street they are bending their energies in that direction.
Look out for “a restoration of confidence.” Congress meets the 7th of August. For the first time in thirty-two years, the legislative branch of the government will be under Democratic control, but the people will see no change for the better; the money power will have its way as usual. Before the election it was “repeal the McKinley Bill,” and silver was not an issue. Now it is “repeal the silvet (Sherman) law," and the tariff is not an issue. The politicians have got a true bill against the people for being fools, and if the people are not careful they will be convicted of the charge.
Says the Farmers’ Tribune: “Every boy born into the world, in this ‘land of the free and home of the brave,’ is saddled with a bonded debt of £I,OOO upon which he must pay interest all through life.” ‘The borrower is slave to the lender.” We need another Abolition party to abolish this other form of slavery and the People’s party will do it. What is the matter with the democracy of this county, no appointments from here yet and Cleveland has been in four months. When the Harrison administration was four months old four of the faithful of this town had received government appointments and every Democratic postmaster in the county, except Bates, were ousted. Cleveland is not so good a civil service reformer as Harrison.
The recent bank failures have been caused either by mismanagement or the inefficiency of the system. The old party papers are saying it is thi’ough mismanagement. In either event it only shows the necessity of a government banking system. We have dishonest post masters and mismanagement of post offices, but the people never lose anything thereby. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, and while you are smoking do a little thinking and you'll soon favor a government banking system. Railroad attorneys and owners charge that the demands of organised labor are unjust and foolish, yet these same corporations charge more for’ a short haul than for a long haul and make other discriminations. Now, what is more foolish and unjust than to charge more for a fifty mile hauj than a hundred
mile haul* No labor organization ever demanded more for a half day’s work than for a whole one, and no farmer ever charged more for a half bushel of wheat than a whole bushel. It is only justice the people are asking.
The advice of the President to the country to keep cool in the present financial emergency ought to have a soothing and reassuring effect, and would have, perhaps, if anybody but the gold bugs had any confidence in his future policy. As he has clearly outlined his purpose to force the single standard theory as against bi-metalism, he will find that his recent utterances counseling coolness will not allay the popular indignation that is rapidly rising in the West and South against his already defined purpose of handing this country over to Wall street.
The leading men of this nation are trampling its laws under their feet. Cleveland has arbitrarily set aside the Geary Chinese exclusion law. Attorney General Olney, whose sworn duty is to prosecute railroads and trusts that violate the law, is in the pay of two of those corporations as their attorney. Carlisle is paying out gold on silver certificates from the $100,000,000 reserve created expressly for the redemption of the greenbacks and nothing else. If such men openly and willfully violate the laws of the land how can it be expected that the people will respect them.
The Pharisees of the country are in a perfect rage over the opening of the World’s Fair gates on Sunday. Like their proprototypes of old they are straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel.” As a matter of duty the World's Fair ought to be closed on Sunday to give rest and recreation to the thousands of employes who labor inside the gates. As to the absence of the Sabbath, if the conditions of the producing classes were as they should be, there would be far greater respect for the Sabbath than there is, and until the churches address themselves to the duty of improving man’s temporal conditions, their loud professions of sympathy for his spiritual welfare will sound more of hollow mockery than anything else.
Republican papers and politicians that are charging Cleveland’s administration with the responsibility of the present financial distress of the country ought to give the people credit for having a little sense left, even if they have been foolish enough to allow the country to be brought to the verge of bankruptcy by trusting the news papers and politicians. Go back to March 4. 1885, and you find that Cleveland took up where Arthur left off. March 4, 1889, Harrison took up where Cleveland left off. March 4, 1893, Cleveland resumed business again, taking up where Harrison left off, and not a change in all these years that could distinctively be called Republican or Democratic, but carrying out, and continuing a policy that is jointly Democratic-Republican’; and one party as much responsible for it as the other.
Our Plea.
Until people learn what money is, how it is made, its absolute necessity in civilized life, and the power wielded by him that controls it, there is little hope of prosperity among them. Money is not a natural product, nor is it a v mechanical device. It is only a creation of law. Let us illustrate this point. Some may think gold and silver are money, getting that idea from the fact that that is the principal use made of those metals. But such is not the fact, for while gold of certain weight and fineness is money in Great B/itain, it is not money inUhin#. While silver is money ia it is not money in Eng-
land. The law and the law only of those countries make gold money in the one and silver in the other. In France, gold, silver and paper with the government stamp, form the money. Then money is made or created by law, and is the soverign act of the whole people, acting in their governmental capacity. A government is a soverign. It may make its money of anything, it is under no necessity or obligation to consult anyone in regard to the matter of which it is made and when made. It is only money within the territorial jurisdiction of that government. The moment a dollar or an eagle crosses the boundary line of the United States, they are no longer money. We are stating just what and nothing more, every reputable writer on finance has said from Aristotle
to the present day. Even so acceptable an authority to our Republican friends as John Sherman said that the government could put eight grains of gold in a coin and stifmp it a dollar, and it would be a dollar. The constitution has placed the entire control of the money of the Nation in the hands of congress. This has been affirmed and reaffirmed by the Supreme court. The constitution having given to congress absolute control over money, the material of which it is made, its legal characteristics, and the amount, the People’s Party maintain that it should be exercised for the benefit of the whole people, and not as at present, for a class. It is estimated that there are about fifteeen hundred millions of people on the earth. There are about sixty-five millions in the United States, or about Jime twenty third part of the earth’s inhabitants. The most liberal estimate that we have seen of the amount of gold and silver among all nations is that there is about seven billions, divided about equally between the two metals. We are less than one twentieth of the globe’s inhabitants, but suppose that owing to our superior advantages, that we are able to bring and keep among us one seventh of the world's supply of the preoious metals, it would give us only about fifteen dollars per capita; whereas, we ought to have fifty, which is the People’s Party’s demand. Fifteen from fifty, leaves thirty five to be supplied. Now who shall furnish this additional thirty five dollars per capita, if furnished at all. The Republicans say, receive state, county, municipal and railroad bonds, and let the banks issue it upon them. To this, the People’s Party objects, Ist, because it is a class privilege; 2nd, because it would make the money too cosfly: 3rd, it places the contract of the money supply in the hands of bankers, who can and will make a panic as now. The Democrats would furnish the additional thirty five dollars per capita by removing the tax from the state bank issues, and then to resume business. All the ob- , jections urged against the Re-
publican plan are of equal force against the Democratic plan, with two additional objections of a very serious character: Ist, they could not be made a legal tender, and nothing should be allow r ed to circulate as money or currency that is not a legal tender. 2nd, they would not have government backing, hence their liability to depreciate and unfitness for general circulation. Observe the superiority of our plan for supplying the deficiency over that of both -the old parties. We would have the government exercise its sovereign right in this matter, issue its own notes, made a full legal tender the coined credit of the whole people, and put into circulation by paying it out to meet the current expenses of the government. This is a constitutional way, an economical way, and one free from the objection of class legislation and class
privilege. Such money has the sanction of more than eighty years of experience, in all which time no pi an has lost a dollar by using it as money, nor has it ever depreciated, save where it had been made unable to perform the full monetary function by reason of legal enactment. The People’s Party advocates the government greenback dollar, brave and loyal in war, and honest and industrious in peace, a democratic dollar. (To be continued.)
