A QUESTION OF FACT.

The Pet Gold Dollar Has Been Driven Oat of Ciaealation bat the Dollar of Our Dads Is Here to Stay. We quoted the other day the assertion of a gold standard newspaper that op to 1878 “there was practically no silver coined by this country, the amount during the whol e eighty-nine years being slightly in excess of SS.000,000.” We took pains to direct attention to government reports showing how false and preposterous was this assertion. We asserted that these reports plainly showed that up to the opening of the California gold mines the government had coined more of silver than of gold. A reference to this report would easily have prevented the repetition of such an ignorant assertion as the one we quoted, but instead of profiting by the opportunity to obtain a modicum of information with very little exertion, we find the same statement repeated with emphasis. There is no arguing with a person in love with his own ignorance, but if any one really desirous of knowing the facts cares to examine the report of the director of the mint, he can easily learn the truth for himself. The report We happen to have before us is that of 1892, and the coinage of the mints by calendar years is set forth on pages 196 at seq. A very little skill in arithmetic will enable any one to add up the figures and learn that from 1793 to 1853 the government coined and put in circulation full weight, unlimited legal tender silver money to the amount of 879,000,000. In addition to this, between 1853 and 1873 the government coined 860,000,000 of light weight silver coin, of limited legal tender. In regard to gold, the facts are that up to the opening of the California mines in 1847 the government had coined just $57,000,000 in gold and no more. But, in addition to the silver coinage we have named, the government had adopted the Spanish-milled dollar (silver) as the standard of the mint, and made it full legal tender, and Spanish dollars were therefore coined in large quantities and circulated in this country. For this reason the government did not coin dollar pieces, either of silver or gold. Up to 1849 not a single gold dollar had ever been coined at any United States mint. But all coinage of silver of all denominations included in the amounts specified was, during the period named, unlimited legal tender for all debts, public and private.. In view of these fifets, known to everybody that has any acquaintance whatever with the coinage laws and coinage statistics of the country, one doesn’t know whether to be most amazed at the colossal ignorance or the unblushing effrontery of persons who make such assertions as the one we have referred to, and then sneer at other people’s lack of information. Another “argument” put forward and reiterated as though there were something in it is the assertion that only a limited number of actual silver dollars are in circulation. The answer is that their representatives, silver certificates, are doing the work. If the gold standard man thinks that it is due to popular prejudice against the silver dollar, what has he to say in behalf of his beloved pet, the gold dollar? So strong and universal was the prejudice of the people against the gold dollar that it would not circulate at all,and the government was compelled in 1890 to discontinue its coinage altogether. Indeed, there has been less than 20,000,000 gold dollars coined in this country from the foundation of the mints to the present time, and there are easily a hundred men in this town who would not sell their property for all the gold dollars that have been coined in the last ten years. The gold dollar is simply an abomination and people won't have it. —Memphis Commercial-Appeal.

A CHANGE OF HEART.

The Eastern Press on Silver Certificates and Coin Notes. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, having received information that President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle have placed the United States mints in motion to coin a small portion of the silver seigniorage, makes the remarkable statement that “under the policy of the government to maintain the parity of the metals it is as incumbent on the treasury to redeem silver certifi cates in gold as it is to redeem ‘coin’ notes in gold.” Western people find it very discouraging to learn financial lessons from the east and then have the lessons reversed at the very moment when they have been received and accepted as fact. Only a few short months ago the statesmen of the west and south suggested that if the treasury should redeem a few silver certificates in gold it would tend to place silver somewhat nearer gold in commercial estimation, but the eastern press cried out with a loud voice that such certificates were not only not redeemable in gold, but ought not to be redeemed at all, because they were subject to reissue, and, hence, redemption would not help silver. They even went further and actually proved that to redeem silver certificates in gold would be to make an unoalled-for and inexcusable demand upon the gold reserve, which was then trembling upon the verge of $100,000,000 —whereas it is now down below $60,000,000 and yet the world is still going round —and that the consequent damage to the financial credit of the government and' to our bond interests would be almost irreparable. They also produced a copy of a silver certificate and called western attention to the reading upon the note, especially declaring that “this certifies that there has been deposited in the treasury of the United States One Silver Dollar, payable to bearer on demand,” and that bv no stretch of the imagination could this be construed into authorizing the treasury to redeem it with a gold dollar, even under a question of maintaining the parity. And now the Springfield Republican faces about and squarely says that a silver certificate is equally redeemable with a coin note in gold. Why, in the midst of the artificial fright over the reduction of the gold reserve there was even a claim that the coin note ifc»

self was by right redeemable only in silver, and that the government never intended the gold reserve for any other purpose than that of meeting its bonded indebtedness. Why this sudden appreciation of the silver certificate? It is because the situation has changed. The new issue of bonds has been amply stowed away, and it is now to the eastern as well as to the western and southern interest to have silver increased in value. Six months ago the bottom would have dropped out of New York and Boston if the treasury had gone to redeeming silver certificates in gold—at least they led us to so infer. Now a silver certificate is just as good as a coin note. But it imposes upon the ignorant west and south an obligation to learn its financial lessons over again.—St. Louis Republic.

WAITING FOR ENGLAND.

Why Should We Wait Until England Has Foreclosed Before Protecting American Interests? The London money lenders will favor silver when they have closed out Australia, the Argentine Republic and a large portion of the United States and placed the trade of India entirely at their mercy. They will then meet us half way on the silver question, because they know that silver must come into general use in the coinage before prices advance, and without this advance in prices the property they have grabbed would be eaten up by taxes. The News has never believed in waiting for England on the silver question, because her interests in the premises are opposite to ours. It is pleased to find the great newspaper of the middle west, the Cincinnati Enquirer, on the same side of the topic. In a recent editorial on the subject the Enquirer said: “Ours is the greatest silver-produc-ing country on the globe, and the best interests of all who are producing wealth will be immeasurably promoted by its universal use as money. The Enquirer is ready to advocate any practicable, honest, honorable and statesman-like mode to make silver a universal standard of value. It is in the power of the American congress to make it to the interest and profit of all commercial nations to join in the coin--1 age of silver at a fixed ratio with gold. We heartily concur in the opinion of Balfour and other distinguished English statesmen that if the United States persist in the coinage of silver England and other European monometallist nations must conform their money to ours or lose their most valuable trade. With common standards of value and universal reciprocity, the peace, happiness and prosperity of the whole family of man are assured, with the continued favor and blessing of a common father.” The London money power does not meet the Balfour argument—it simply ignores it. One end of the gold string rests securely in its hands and when it pulls that string its puppets will dance to the music furnished, let the logic of the silver men be what they may. Power of any kind has respect only for the class of logic which is evolved by power, and when the American republic became a blind Imitator of the British government in its financial policy it acknowledged before the world that all semblance of power had departed from it. It stands now as a beggar at the gate—holding the gold in its treasury by the kind permission of the Lombard street usurers.—Denver News.

THE REMEDY.

It Is the Free and Unlimited Coinage of Silver. Let us have free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver and there will be plenty of metallic money with which to redeem notes and maintain credit. With silyer coinage unrestricted, there will be abundance of gold in the treasury—much more than enough to provide for all the transactions in which gold must be absolutely used. Gold is hard to get because there is not enough of it for money purposes, and the policy of the government has been to destroy all competition with it. The only redeeming agency that the treasury recog* nizes is “cornered.” Let silver take its legislative place as money and speculators in gold will find their occupations gone. Gold coins will go into the avenues of trade and finance as money, and not be hoarded as a means of compelling the secretary of the treasury to issue bonds for investments. There will be both gold and silver, and no more in the aggregate than the country actually needs. Gold coins and silver coins will flow into the treasury in exchange for paper, which is more convenient for business; and there will be no more bother about a “reserve” of either metal. The present policy results in the encouragement of the hoarding of gold, not by the people, but by the speculators, who are thus at all times prepared to play upon the public distress. —Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Disease in the System.

Financial panics are not of sudden growth. They may burst suddenly on the public like a great storm out of a clear sky, but their causes have been gathering force and effect for many preceding years, even as the storm is the result of remote and perhaps far distant atmospheric conditions. They result from a violation of the natural laws of business, the neglect or abuse of which laws are as certain to bring disaster and ruin, as is the violation of physical laws to bring disease and death to the human body. The germs of typhoid are festering in the system for weeks before the fever and the delirium prostrates the strong man; and so the cause of the prevailing hard times must be sought not in the immediate present, but traced back to the time when prices began to fall, which is coincident with the act of 1873 by which silver was demonetized.—Denver News.

The Gold Dollar.

Many people who are now suffering from the appreciation of the gold dollar argue that the value of money and of commodities should bear a fixed re* Ution.

Our Modern Woes. * Oh, deep and learned doctors, can you not permit us, pray, To have old-fashioned ailments In a good oldfashioned way? The language you employ's designed to take away one's breath; Your terms am quite enough to frighten timid folks to death. Our good old grandmas never dreamed of dreadful things we see. But pinned their blind and simple faith to herbs and boneset tea; They never guessed that when their friends from earth were called away ’Twas all because of microbes and the dread bacteria. ’Twas well they never ran across these later fearful germs, Nor ever had to look upon these brand newfangled terms. Those days a patient never guessed of what was just inside, And that Is why no more of them turned up their toes and died. But now we realize that we are one great seething moss Of awful animalcules that scare us till. Blast The thought Is fatal, and,beneath a cold, white stone we’re lain, With scores of others who have died at microbes of the brain. —Nixon Waterman, in Chicago Journal. For Her Dear Bake. For her dear sake I’d have her skies As bright as are her own bright eyes, And all her day dreams warm and fair As is the sunshine In her hair. The fates to her should be as kind As are the thoughts in her pure mind, And every bird I'd have awake It's gladdest song for her dear sake. For her dear sake I’d have each dart Grief fashions for her tender heart Aimed at my own thrioo hnppy breast, That hers might have unbroken rest. She feel life’s sunshine, I Its rain; She steal my pleasure, Z her pain; Bvi- path of roses I would make And rains of thorns, for her dear sake. If she should fall asleep and lie So still, so very still that I Would know her soul had slipped away From her divinely molded clay, Then looking in her fair white face I’d pray to God: “In Thy good grace, O, Father, let me sleep nor wake Again on earth, for her dear sake.” —Nixon Waterman, In Chicago Journal. The Task of Life. It is not death but life I fear! If all the other things were don* 'Twere not so hard at last to hear The summons of the sunset gun. But all the chance, the seeming fate, Dull and unconscious, hold us back; When I have conquered these, I'll wait In patience for the last attack. —P. H. Savage, in Youth’s Companion.
