FACTS VI ORTH REMEMBERING,'
1. We could keep gold and silver
on a parity, at any ratiq, if we made
the laws applicable to both metals,
It is the law that determines their
coinage values.
2. From 1792 to 1,892 the United’
States produced gold to .the amount
of §1,397,881,216.
3. That we produced inly $i,146-,5
869,000 of silver,
a
4. The United SMte^has coined'
gold to the amount of $1,596,0^9,143
in the hundred years from 1792 to.
1892.
5. During the same; period the.,
coinage of silver? has been $663,906,-,
171 or $2.30 of-Jold for each dollar of-
silver. Wheti/i th® tife cry of an
over-productio^bf suver.
6. When the silver dollar . was
dropped from ;thp JLr'W“. in 1873
and -esseutia+iy =ne'.noflteytfào(l, -the
bullion value of a silver dollar was
three cents more than the gold bul­
lion in a gold dollar. •'
7. The interest on our bonded
debt- exceeds $30,000,000, and that
we have only produced an average
of $19,378,817.
8. The time will come unless sil­
ver is restored, When labor in this
country will not earn enough to pay
the interest on our debts..
9. The bank note for $100 is a
promise to pay the bearer $100 on
demand, and is, therefore, a debt to
the bearer;* and when the banker
issued the note he loaned his
debt to the bearer at an interest, and
the more he owes the richer he be­
comes on the interest of his debts.
10. There never was a financial
panic when business men were
“driven to the wall” when gold and
silver coin were abundant and in­
creasing in volume.
11. There never was a money
panic in this countiy which was not
produced or greatly agrevated by
banks of issue.
12. If a bank currency is- ever
flexible it is always when it is not
needed.
13. That the greenback saved the
Union from dismemberment. Gold
ànd silver, like a miserable coward,
sneaked away at- the approach of
danger and left the government
powerless and helpless until the
“rag baby” was born.
14. The greenback is the friend
of the millions in
in war,
and is a perpetual ijenace only to
bankers who are anxious to loan
their debts at a good interest.
15. Greenbadks are more reliable
as money than eithewsilver or gold,
because based on the ¡entire property /
of the nation and redeemable in any
property which the posessor desires.
Here is a prophesyfrom John A.
Logan which will doubtless prove
good reading. It- is an extract- from
a speech by him while senator from
Illinois, while in the United States
senate, January 19, 1874,
“I can see benefit only to the mon­
ey holders and those who receive
interest and have fixed incomes. I
can see as a result of this legislation
our business operations crippled and
wages for labor reduced to a pittance.
I can see the beautiful praries of my
own state and the great west-, which
are blooming gardens’, with cheerful
homes rising like white towers along
the pathway of improvement, again
sinking back, into idleness. I can
see the mortgage fiends at their
hellish work. I can see the hopes
of the industrious farmers blasted as/
they burn corn for fuel, because its
price will not pay the cost of trans­
portation and dividends of millions
of dollars of fictitious railway stocks
and bonds. I can see our people of
the west-groaning and burdened un­
der taxation to pay debts of states,
countiesand cities, incurred when
money was abundant and bright
hopes of the future Were held out to
lead them oil. I catt^te^^^^bple
of'our western states, who are pro­
ducers, reduced to the condition of
serfs to pay interest on public and
private debts to the money sharks
of Wall streeii .New York, and
Thread-needle street, London, Eng­
land. And this will be accomplish­
ed- by withdrawing the Treasury
notes from circulation and destroy­
ing them until the banks can control
the entire volume of money and
then to compel the people to use
personal checks in lieu of money­
checks passing through ths clearing­
houses,-which the banks will estab­
lish in all the large cities, to enable
them to make a fictitious showing of
prosperity and fool the people with
the great volume of business, which
they will cause to be published in
the daily and weekly newspapers.
But remember checks are not mon­
ey.”
