THE GOLD STANDARD.

It Enable* the Creditor Nations to Dominate the Debtor Nations. Ab there are in all the world but about $3,600,000,000 in gold; in money, on a gold basis, Great Britain completely dominates the world. Worldwide financial disorders are prevailing, owing to the efforts of money lenders, for their own profit, to establish gold as the single and universal money standard, without the gold being in existence to meet such extensive and universal use, even if gold were equally distributed among the nations of the earth. Much more serious than a general lack of gold for all the world’s monetary uses, is the unequal distribution of gold among the various nations. Some have much, others but little, some nene. As related to us, Great Britain has the financial strength of a great creditor nation; the United States the financial weakness of a great debtor nation. Our gold can be called from us, whenever the interests, necessities, or caprices of foreign investors, or creditors dictate the call. And we are helpless to resist these calls, as long as we, in practice, maintain the single gold standard; as witness the current financial history of the day. On the single gold standard, with the present great demand for, and limited supply of gold, no debtor nation can maintain such gold standard, as against a creditor nation, except by sufferance. Practically, the United States are borrowing gold on call. In this regard we have no independence, whatever. Let the United States, by legal enactment, or otherwise, make gold the exclusive money basis, and we will be a completely ruined people. As the result of what has been done by the government of the United States already, and as the result of what is foreshadowed, the industries of this country have been paralyzed; business men have been thrown out of employment, and a universal depreciation of property values has occurred, east, west, north and south; everywhere throughout the, United States, and to an amount, within the last six months, equal to the whole money cost of the late war. For whose benefit is this? Not the people of industry, for they are suffering. This wreck and ruin is for the profit of the money lenders of Europe and the United States. Out of the depreciated property values in railroad and other kinds of investments, the money lenders select their prey at their own prices, and those who before were exhorbitantly rich become richer at the expense of and by sacrificing the men of industry, who are the stay and support of the nation. The money lenders and their advocates say they do not want cheap money. For once, they have not lied. They do not want cheap money. They want it as dear as by any possibility they can make it. But there is no cheap money in the United States. Of whatever material it may be; in whatever form it may exist; to whatever issue in money form the laws give the money function; all is equally money in the United States, to pay all debts and obligations, and to purchase all kinds and forms of property. In the effort to exclude silver from the mone5 r use in the United States, which the money lenders falsely call eheap money, the money lenders have made cheap labor, cheap farms, cheap factories, cheap wheat, cheap corn, cheap cotton, cheap everything, among us, that has its value measured by money, and a cheap nation, for all we have seems to be in the market, at the depreciated prices fixed by the money lenders.—Cor. National View.

THE CONSTITUTION AND SILVER

The Framers of Our Constitution Had No Idea of Regulating the Commercial Value of Gold and Silver. But the constitution could not permanently fix and settle the law of values for mankind. The position of silver and its commercial value throughout the world have changed greatly since the constitution was formed and adopted. Silver was indeed recognized by the constitution as money, and silver is still recognized by the country as money; but its commercial value has undergone so great a change that it can no longer be kept at parity with gold but by limiting its issue.—Oregonian. The above is an extract from the editorial columns of our morning contemporary in which silver advocates are accused of “suffering from a misconception of the situation.” We have no misconception of the language of the constitution, as our contemporary admits, in recognizing silver as a part of the money of the country. Nor have we had any misconception as to the inability of that instrument to fix the commercial value of any commodity. That is the point the silver advocates are contending for. They say that congress has no constitutional right to either appreciate or de* preciate the commercial value of gold or silver by legislation. Congress has no power in the premises except within the limitations of the constitution, which makes it imperative unon that body to provide for the coinage of both gold and silver and to fix the ratio of one to the other. It is there the power of congress terminates, hence our argument that congress has not the constitutional right to demonetize silver in order to depreciate its commercial value. There was never any depreciation in the commercial value of silver until congress assumed the unconstitutional power of demonetizing, and as soon as congress gets back within the limits of the constitution and restores silver to its proper use as money, the white metal will again appreciate in commercial value. But the question of regulating the commercial value of either gold or silver did not enter into the minds of the framers of the constitution. They had no such purpose in view. If they had, congress would been invested with that power. They no more thought of regulating Ahe commercial value of gold and si Mr bullion than they did of fixing an unalterable price for wheat, corn or cotton. They are all commodities, and it does not comm

within the purview of legislation to fix the commercial value of any one of them. But it was the purpose of the constitution to determine what should be the money of this nation without regard to the commercial value of the material from which the money was made. Money is an artificial something created to be used as a medium of commerce and a representative of commodities. It is not supposed to have an intrinsic value, hence the framers of the constitution did not bother their heads about the prospective rise and fall in the price of gold or silver bullion. They merely selected the two metals most in use among the nations of the world, both of which had been recognized as money from time immemorial, and directed congress to provide for the coinage of the two metals without discriminating against either. When congress shall have performed its constitutional obligations the money question will be settled. —Portland (Ore.) Telegram.

GOOD SILVER MONEY.

The Difference Between a Good and Bad Circulating Medium. There is good silver money and bad silver money. Silver money is good under two conditions. The first is when the basis is gold and the government maintains the parity by being always ready to redeem silver with gold. That is the present condition, and the silver dollar, like the paper dollar, is up to the present perfectly good. The other condition is when silver is part of the standard and is redeemable in itself. Silver is a bad money when it rests upon a gold basis and the government is unable to maintain the parity. Any money is good which is what it pretends, to be. Any is bad which is not. Money may be good when the basis upon which it is issued is thoroughly vicious. If diamonds were the basis and the government kept plenty of diamonds to redeem all its dollars, the dollars would be good, though the standard of prices might be ruinous. The viciousness of any system is in fear that the government will not maintain the gold value of its silver. Nobody can tell at what point the drop to a single silver standard will occur. Therefore, nobody likes to make contracts ahead. An uncertain currency is the worst currency. Good silver money must either be on a gold basis, strictly maintained, or must be itself money of final redemption. —St Louis Republic.

THE AMERICAN POLICY.

Eet There Be a Pan-American Monetary Policy. Senator Stewart is the advocate of an American monetary policy. His proposition introduced in the senate to hold a Pan-American conference at Washington next summer, is worthy of more consideration than it is likely to receive from the senate. The crowning triumph of Mr. Blaine’s administration of the state department was his effort to bring about closer trade relations between all the countries of this hemisphere. His celebrated PanAmerican congress was the first organized movement in this direction. Every day the chain of commercial interests which link us to the countries south of us is being tightened, and in time complete commercial unity will be established. If it is a good thing to be linked to Mexico, Central America and South America by commercial ties, why wouldn’t it be an equally good thing to have us adopt a common monetary policy? Then it would be America against the world. We would then be in a better condition to dictate policies for the old countries, instead of having foreign powers dictate our policies. It would bring about a complete reversal of conditions and would make us masters of the financial situation.— Portland (Ore.) Telegram.

What the People Want.

The only duty of congress is to coin money and regulate the value thereof. They cannot refuse, constitutionally, to coin silver any more than gold, both being the money metals in use at the time of the adoption of the constitution. As soon as the legislators of this nation learn that their sole duty is to admit silver or gold to absolutely free coinage at the mints, leaving to the people to choose which they prefer in their business, we shall have prosperity. It is a novel argument in the United States that we must arrange all our business to suit England, because, forsooth, we want to borrow from her. “The borrower is servant to the lender.” Let England keep her money or loan it in Australia or the Argentine republic.—Cor. N. Y. Press.

What We Owe England.

The monetary commission, appointed by the government of the United States in 1876, estimated that the foreign indebtedness of the United States could not then be less than $2,000,000,000. Since 1876 foreign investments, mostly English, have continued to increase very largely. Mr. Gladstone claims for Great Britain outside of Britain to the amount of ten billion ($10,000,000,000) dollars, which is mostly on a gold basis. That indebtedness, including ownership of different properties, cannot now be less than 14,00.0,000,000 or $5,000,000,000 in the United States.

Silver Coinage Easy.

The report is now going the rounds of the press, that it would take many years to coin the silver bullion now in the treasury. The mints could be put in shape in thirty days to coin five million dollars a day. It is no more difficult to make gold and silver coin than it is buttons, and a single button factory can furnish one hundred buttons per capita in one year for every man, woman and child in the United States.—Chicago Coin.

What Folly,

We coined $150,000,000 in silver before 1873 and had in circulation SIOO,000,000 more of foreign silver made full legal tender under our laws, and begged the world to send us more of their silver, and yet we hear the misleading statement made that we only had $8,000,000 of silver in circulation prior to 1873.—Coin.

He leaves a large estate. Indiana lays claim to having within her borders the oldest man in the country, he being Alexander Hockaday, who but recently celebrated his 114th birthday. He was born in Virginia in 1779, the date it is claimed being authenticated by the record of a family Bfble now in the old man’s possession. When quite young he went to Kentucky with his parents, but removed to this state when it was a part of the great Northwestern territory. Seventy years ago he removed to the farm in Harrison county, where he now resides, and has lived continuously since that | time. i The Columbian Athletic club, of In- ’ dianapolis, filed its bond for $20,000 in ; the supreme court the other day.

W. 11. Durham, who until a few days ago was president of the First National bank, of Crawfordsville, made an assignment the other night to O. M. Gregg. Mr. Durham was owner of the Muncie Nail works, and was surety for Frank P. Nelson and T. J. Darnell, of Greencastle, who failed. Their failure is supposed to have caused Mr. Durham to make the assignment. The liabilities and assets are unknown. But it is thought the liabilities will reach $200,000, with assets sufficient to meet them. Mb. and Mrs. John Fehner, Muncie, while passing the Midland Steel works, were attacked by a gang of drunken iron workers and nearly killed. The men attempted to take Fehner’s wife away from him.
