BROWN took a Seidlitz powder it two doses, and let the elements inflate within him. Of course he never put his sayings at interest. »r

CONTINENTAL MONEY. The continental money with which our soldiers were paid, and bur liberties were won, was neither more nor less than rag money. True, the manner of its issuance was a mistake, and its form was bad, but the continental money did good Bervice it distributed the expenses ol the war of the revolution among all the people, and eventually wiped itself out of existence without anybody being the lo»er.-(Ben. Butler.

It is, perhaps, worthy of remark that the continental currency, to which Ben. Butler refers above, as in many respects model money, was not redeemed and wore out in the hands of the people, a dead loss to everybody who had it. Our phrase: ''Not worth a continental," was derived from it. And yet Ben. wishes revive justthat thing.

DON'T FORGET.

Don't forget that the bondholders have drawn in iuterest since 18t2 the stirii ol *l,S81,7G4j272» a sum greater than the assessed value of x!l the property in tho States of Indiana, lows," Kansas, Louisiana and Vermont. The bondholders swallow a goodsized State every year.—jFiat editorial in the Express.

What we print above i£ one ,£- those inspired fiatic utterances which the GA ZETTE'S esteemed but erratic mo(u)rning contemporary* is constantly evolving, and rolling, so to speak, as a sweet morsel in its mouth, and gloating over just'asifit

k.*-

proved something. If this sort of thing satisfies our esteemed etc.,'contemporary-^ and whets the? already keen appetite of those whom it is leading against all who have property which they have labored for and saved, o~ inhe rited, we marvel much that it does not inadeflnitely inflate its issue of such fiat argument. As Hamlet says "It is as easy as lyi ng.

For example Don't forjyet that only a privileged few were permitted to invest in government bonds.

Don't forget that the government reused to sell its bonds to common peopie,'.-, .. 4. IvJi**

Don't forget that the government elected foreigners to sell its bonds to because it loved them more than it did its own people-

Don't forget that the object the government had in yiew when it sold bonds was not to raise money for itself but to give bondholders an opportunity to oppress the people who were not permitted to buy bonds. ,™«....

Don't forget that when a bondholder has drawn in interest an amount of money equal to his original loan, or nearly as large, or so large that a fiat paper can print it in big type, or as big as the assessed value of property in some counties or states, or so big that it makes a person feel poor when he reads it, and this interest has accrued during any number of years, few or many, it makes no difference, then the bondholder is an infamous 6croundrel and should forfeit his bond.

Don't forget that this sort of thing worries the bondholders, which is a big tiling for people who have been using their money to do, and makes the borrowing of money in the future at a low rate of interest an easy task.

Don't forget that when an individual has paid in interest to his private creditor an amount of money equal to the fac of the note he-gave, or an amount greater than the debtor then has injhis pocket, or so great as to make him wish he had so much money, or an amount greater than the assessed value of something or other, or an amount that woul^ look large in big type, then the private creditor is a Shylock and should be made to give up the note.

Don't forget that this docfrine increases in logical force if the creditor should happen to be well off and the debtor should happen to get poor.

Don't forget that when a person has paid in rent an amount of money equal to the assessed value of the house, or what the renter thinks is its value, then the owner, of the house should give it to the tenant.

Don't forget that when a person has paid in hire for a horse an amount of money equal to the assessed value of the horse, then the horse don't belong any longer to his owner.

Don't forget that when any fttimber of persons have paid in subscriptions or for advertisements an amount of money equal to the assessed value of a paper, then they own the paper.

Don't—to 6um all up—don't forget that the fiat has gone forth that what was honor i6 dishonor, that wisdom is folly, that honesty is dishonesty, that truth is a lie, that corruption wins more than honesty, that honesty is not the best policy, that whatever is is wrong, that from all who have labored shall be taken away what they hare &ayed to be given to those who have not labored and who have saved nothing that "all is jest and ashes and nothingness, for all things which are, were born of folly."

BEN BUTLER AND THE ASSO CIATED PRESS. Among the many unique specimens of nonsense evolved by the fiat convention which nominated Butler none, perhaps, were more &b6urd than the resolution about the Associated Press monopoly. Butler never did like newspapers—possibly because the newspapers early in his career discovered what an arrant humbug he was, and have not failed for y«ars to hold him

v^,up

to public

contempt. He i^seeks to retaliate by opposing an association organized by the press for securing news, an association which has made the modern daily newspaper the marvel of the times. If one thing in this fiat campaign of bluster and bravado is more ludicrous than another, it is to see the author of that resolution hobnobbing wi hour erratic morning contemporary, which is an equal partner with the GAZETTE in controlling the franchise of the Associated Press here in Terre Haute. It is safe to say that at least one Fiatic accepts this gospel according to St. Benjamin curm grano salis, and lays the flattering unction to his soul, that, however sincere he may be about the other planks of the platform*, this one is all in Benjamin's weather-beaten eye. The Rochester, (N. Y.) Union prints a sensible article on the Associated Press, which we here reproduce: "The state convention of the "Independent Greenback party" of Massachusetts met at Boston yesterday, nominated General B. F. Butler for Governor, and adopted resolutions which, with other things, we are told, "maintain that the liberties of this people imperatively demanded that toe far-reach n^' and dcadi hand of capital, as-it appear ia the infa­

a THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE

mous monop'.y known, as the Associated Press, must be torn from the throat of public intelligence the telegraph com panies must be forced to sell daily news upon equal terras to any paper." More dense ignorance concerning anything made the subject of public expression was never displayed than is here shown bv the"Independent Greenback"conven tion of Massachusetts.

In the first place, there is no such thing as "the Assoc:ated Press." There are half a dozen associated presses in the country—the New York citv. the New York State, the New England, the Western, the Southern, &c.—and there is nothing in the world to hinder the formation and existence of a million of them if there be those who have the requisite ability, industry and means to organize and maintain them. There is no more monopoly about an associated press than there is about an associated firm or company of individuals thus joined in carrying on for their mutual benefit and profit a business that is open to the competition of the world. An associated press is

SIMPLY A NUMDER OF NEWSPAPERS which, instead of employing, each independently and at its individual cost, agents and instrumentalities for the gathering of news, unite their effo/ts, divide the expense, and share products. A newspaper not in such an association can no more charge admission to it as aright than it can demand as aright admission to any other association, or any firm for carrying on any business, or any club, or any family for that matter. The news of the day is as open to all who seek it as the light of the sun, and the business, of gathering and furnishing it to those who desire it, is as free as the air.

In the second place, it might as well be "maintained" that telegraph compan ies should be forced to sell the most private and confidential messages of any person or number of persons upon equal terms to any paper as to "maintain" that the telegraph company should be forced to sell daily news belonging to an associated press upon equal terms to any paper. The telegraph company has no news to sell. Its relations with an associated press are the same as its relations with an individual or a number of individuals. It transmits the messages of an •associated press as the agents employed by the association to gather news furnish them, is paid for the service, and has no hingmore to do with the matter. "We make this explanation of the nature of an associated press and its relations to the telegraph company, not that the resolution of the Massachusetts "independent greencack" convention is of any consequence to either, but that the general public may not be misled by allowing this latest development of Kearneyism to go uncontradicted.

SOME OF BUTLER'S FALLACIES In his speech on Saturday night Gen. "Butler went over the old story that the panic of 1S73, and the subsequent hard times, were the result of a contraction Of the currency. This fallaey, so often repeated, has been so often refuted by the logic of facts and figures that it is not worth while to dwell upon it. He is careful in this, as in most of his assertions, to give no documentary evidence in support of it. In speaking of the Continental money he made this statement: "Our continental money failed because it was made redeemable in gold and silver,—Spanish milled dollais and every body knows that there was not a Spanish milled dollar, or gold and silver dollar, to redeem it. Therefore, as com pared with gold and silver money, it went down. But what it did do wa6, it distributed all the expense of the war among all the people, and relieved them of the burden of the war debt. The sol* dier took it it went down in the revolution ten per cent, on his hands. The merchant took it it went down ten per cent. more. And so on, and so on, until it went out, thereby distributing the whole burden among the people. Every body lost some, precisely as our greenback, that was made redeemable, went down and down, until it got to be thirty or forty cents only and then we passed a law putting it into a bond at per cent, interest, and making it a burden upon ourselves and our children forever. Our revolutionary fathers were too shrewd for that. When the continental money got down to thirty cents, they let it go and go foreyer."

First, as to the statement that "everybody knew that there was not a Spanish milled dollar or sold or silver dollar to redeem it "Pelatiah Webster, a merchant who lived in Philadelphia at that time, wrote several essays, which were printed in pamphlet form, and give considerable light upon the subject of continental money. He makes this statement: "From the beginning of the year 178J till the close of the war, hard money was very plenty. This was occasioned by large sums, by various means, coming froui the English army in New York, and spreading through th.e States also by large sums remitted by France to their army and navy here also by large importations of hard money from the Havanna and other places abroad so that hard money was never more plenty, nor more easily collected than at that time." In a note to an essay of a later date, Mr. Webster says, "the States were really overrun with an abundance of cash. The French and English armies, our foreign loans, "Havanna trade etchad filled the country with money

The continental money ceased to circulate in May 17S1. If Mr. Webster's evidence istrustworthy, which there is evry reasons to believe, the depreciation of the continental money was not owing to the scarcity of Sphanish milled dollars, which camc from Ilavanna, and other gold and siiyer money from France, and England,'--hich of course.

circuated at a fixed rate, so that But ler misrepresents]) the facts, either fiom ignorance, or intention. The real cause of the depreciation of the money was its immense overissue,—350 millions with a population of about 3 ^millions,—and the fact that the government lacked the power,'or t"-ie will, to raise a revenue by duties, or direct taxation, to redeem the biUs. 1

The fiat of the government was not sufficient to keep them in circulation. The certainty of ultimate redemplion in money wa» what they lacked to give them credit with the people.

It appears however that there were many persons in those days who held the views of, our rrodern Fiatists, for Webster relates that, "when a proposition was before Congress to establish a

regular

revenue system, one member ex­

claimed, "Do you think gentlemen, that I will consent to load my constituents with taxes, when we can send to our printer, and get a ifragon load of monev one quire of which will pay for the whole." The fact is, our own beloved greenbacks would have gone the way of continental money, had not Congress resisted the clamor for their unlimited issue, and had not the people the utmost confidence that the pledge would be fufilled, and that the paper promises would ultimately be redeemed in real money.

In some repects, notably in regard to this continental money, Butler is an op timist. In his opinion, its depreciation and final collapse were rather beneficial, on the whole, than otherwise. "It distributed the expenses of the war among all the people and relieved them of the war debt." This is the language of a man who assumes to be a statesman, and wants to be Governor of the good old commonwealth of Massachusetts. Does not the experience of all countries show that the burden of a depreciated currency falls principally upon the ignorant, the, poor, and the improvident? Th shrewd the intelligent, and the wealthy, those who are often led to consult the financial barometer, can predict the coming 6torm, and be prepared to meet it but those who have to depend on their daily toil for their daily bread, are the persons principally upon whom this tax falls. In this case it was the soldiers in the field,—

,, "Tho old continentals Wi'h their raggad regimentals."

upon whom this burden fell with peculiar hardship. In the history of American currency, Sumner says, that "it," the burden, "fell most heavily on the most patriotic and most helpless." 'st

Web6ter Says: "While we rejoice in the riches and strength of our country, we have reason to lament with tears of deepest regret the most pernicious shifts of property, which the irregularities of our finances introduced, and the many thousands of fortunes which were ruined by it the generous patriotic spirits suffered the injury the idle, and avaricious, derived benefit from said confusion

Thos^ who remember the days ot onr wild cat currency, know upon whom the losses principally fell who submitted to the shaves of ten, twenty, fifty per cent., and that the brokers and money sharks made their harvest in dealing in the money. But the loss of money was not the only evil with which our revolutionary fathers had to contend. There was a loss of confidence in the government, on the part of the patriots, and a corresponding rejoicing of the tories there was a loss of public virtue and morality a repudiation of its just debts by the Government, gave an excuse for individuals to do likewise, in their intercourse with each other. Speaking of continental money, Webster says, "If it saved the State, it has polluted the equity of our laws turned* them inlo engines of oppression and wrong corrupted the justice of our public adminutiation destroyed the fortunes of thousands of those who had the most confidence in it enervated the trade, husbandry and manufactures of our country, and gone far to destroy the morality of our people."

This is the state of things which Butler advocates when he declares that the greenback debt should have been repudiated, when it had reached its lowtst value as compared with gold.

Such statesmanship is consistent with the advocacy of the Credit Mobilier, and the salary grab. It points the way to the final solution of all difficult financial questions, and shows the creditors of the country what they n.ay expect when Butler's party attains power in the government. We may laugh at, and caricature the rag-baby, but behind it looms up the indistinct outlines of the gaunt spectre of REPUDIATION.

It might be shown what disasters a repudiation of the greenbacks would have brought upon our country, overtaxed at that time, and still engaged in a devastating war, and to what a small extent a repudiation of $400,000,000 of inflated currency weuld have reduced a permanent debt of $3,000,000,000 and it is worth enquiring why those who bore the heat and burden of the day, should not transmit a portion of this burden to their posterity, together with the precious iegacy of an undivided nation.

THE powtfifbi: INTEREST." We give a practical example of the acumulative power of interest which has been used with telling effect before country school house audiences by some of our local speakers, and it shows conclusively how some men get rich in what seems an unaccountable manner. Capt. John 1. Campbell was the first, we believe, to use the illustration publicly, which he did in his labor reform speech at Dowling Hall, in January, 1872.

We give the dollars only—leaving out the cents—and aUo changing the remarks to correspond more completely with the pre^entt pol,itico-.fiaancial situa-.

Both are "hail fellows, well met"—and it is always "How are you. Jones?"— "Bully, how are you, Brown?"

In the editorial columns of the ZETTE'S esteemed but delirious and dyspeptic mourning contemporary, we find the following choice chur.k of fiat wisdom. Itisoneofthc most convincing arguments ever yet produced by our en thusiastic contempoiary, showing the necessity of letting Butler and Kearney loose upon the country to devour the substance of the bondholders and destroy the earnings of such as are so foolish as to labor and to save. It shows the aims and aspirations, the purposes and principles cf the beautiful band of brothers mustered by sand lot Denis generaled by white plumed Benny of Navarre, and championed by the GAZETTE'S mornful but knightly contemporary, which has the courage of its convictions—a quality of courage of no mean sort when the principles are considered.

We do not purpose to at^jue the question presented by our courtly but courageous contemporary. We merely invite to it the attention of hard-headed, slow-thinking men whose pulses beat under one hundred and fifty a minute, who are unversed in alchermy, and whoj prefer walking and working on the earth lo chasing an ignis fatuus in a balloon. We recognize the argument of our esteemed contemporary as good fiat doctrine, the very best and most cogent reasoning capable of being adduced to support the claims of that party. We publish the editorial of our eccentric contemporary and an extract from a book called the Bible and invitejj the reader first to

Has

a great deal to say in favor of re-

urjui^Aa nr

sumption, and quotes largely from eastern^ hard money journals.' Brown has become a "pestiterous agitator'' and having cultivated his brains more than his monev is a thorn in the side of the county court house ring. He knows Jones •'too blamed well to talk about."

Here we see that in forty vears Jones, the money lender, has cleared $JJ:,OOO of which $2,000 i* savings, like that of Brown's., while $22,000 is interest—gath— ings in from other people's earnings, for interest is nothing less than that.

Had Jones loaned money as the bankers do, renewing notes every three months, his accumulation at 10 per cent, as before would have amounted to $26,441 had he shaved the notes, patronized sheriff's sales, foreclosed mortgages, etchis gains would be still ldrger.

We are not finding fault with Jones for putting his money out at interest, but we must beg leave to say that the financial system which makes it possible for a man to make such great gains by usury is susceptible of improvement, notwithstanding the assertions of many "no-more-agita-tion" agitators.

In the meanwhile, do not forget why it is possible for some men to get ricti faster than some of their less knowing neighbors. j'f'f
