So much has been said about French
financial matters, and so many ques
tions asked that we append the history
of the famous Assignats. Our farmer
friend, Thornton, says they want the
books, the authorities; this is from
Chambers' Encyclopedia, a standard
work as all will acknowledge. It is a
perfect epitome of the history of paper
ciedit money, unlimited, the world over.
summing the matter up in terse lan
guage it covered the ground better than
any other authority we could fiud.
" Assignats. After appropriating to
national purposes the land belonging
to the church, the French National
Assembly instead of bringing it into
the market, at a time of insecurity
when its value was depreciated issued
bonds on the security of it which were
called assiynuts, as representing land
assigned to the holder. This pa
per money consisted chiefly of noes
for a hundred francs each, though
many of them were for sums as low
as ten or five francs. The first issue
was 400,000,000 francs; this was in
17:)0. They bore interest, other issues
did not.
'hv. facilty of this plan of providing
government income led to its being
repeatcJly had recourse to, as the prop
erly of wealthy emigrants 'who had
abandoned it), fell into tho hands of
the rulers and was confiscated till the
amount ro;e to the enormous sum of
43,373 million francs. Great numbers
of assignats were forged and smuggled
into the kingdom. The value of the
Assignat declined, confidence once
gone, it became fearful; In June 1793
one franc silver was worth three in
paper. In Angust one was worth six.
The state undertook to compel the
acceptance of the Assignat at their
full value. The effect was the Ass re
mit Hew back into the treasury, raising
the price of all commodities and mak
ing every one averse to having any
dealings with the state.
This was attempted to be metbyfix-
j ing a Uiaximun of piice3, but no one
could compel producers and dealers to
produce ard sell at a lo-s. All busi
ness became elisoreanized. Assignats
came down to nothing; millions of in
dividuals suffered incalculable loss and
only a few who had bought public
lands with the Assignats that cost
them little or nothing enriched them
selves at the expense of the communi
ty." In March 1796 a louis d'or (24 francs)
brought seventy-two hundred francs,
in assignats.
A similar scheme to take up these
and issue Jfandats was tried. The
Mandats fell to one seventieth of
their nominal value. In July 179Gthe
system of paper credit so obstinately
persisted in by government and so dis
astrous in its results to the public
came to an end. A law wa3 passed de
claring that every one was entitled to
transact business in whatever circula
ting medium he pleased; that the Man
dats should be. taken at their current
value, and that taxes be received eith
er in coin or Mandats at that rate. (We
have italicized some words from the
original.) Ed.

Read the finale. All business be

down to nothing; millions of individ

rich at the expense of the many the
universal result of irredeemable pa
per money here, there, the world over;
mark well the pages of History.
One step more, six years after the
first issue 21 francs gold would bring
7,200 francs paper. The Assignats
were taken up and Mandats issued
The mandate of the government as one
may say declaring this money must be
taken, the extreme of legal-tender.

do as they pleased? Sublime.
Many of these steps we have passed
through duringour inflation days; all
reading persons will recognize each
phase up to a certain point. The south
ern Confederacy's money followed the
French Assignat all the way through.
to the final end of utter worthlessness
What saved us? Simply and only that
our money and bonds were redeem
able, it was believed that we could and
would some day redeem this money,
pay this debt, in some coin, some mou
ey known to the world, recognized as
such and that had intrinsic value.
That was all that did save us, that is
all that now saves us, or to-day a cart
load of the "best greenbacks the world
evei saw would not buy one bushelof
potatoes or one pound of pork. The
success of the war, our boundless re
sources, our very mines of Gold and
Silver gave us the confidence of the
world, and ourselves that we could pay,
and we are paving. Announce that
we cannot, that we will not pay ; that
we will only take up one noto and
give another to all time, and ourvauu
ted currency system, our grandly en
dorsed Greenback becomes but worth
less rags. It is their paying promise,
their "staying" qualities, a3 the horse
man says, that gives them life and
credit. This the Republican party is
pledged to. It gave them to the coun
try, it promised to redeem them. It
will redeem them if in power, by mak
ing them as good as coin. No other
way is open. No other salvation for
the people is at hand. Look well to
your vote then, Republicans, "make no
mistake" if you would win prosperity
and gladness to the laud for the future.
the life tI a Nation, (as in lids coun
try and France), the only condition un
der which it is excusable, is at best a
c u re to the laboring man, the poor
man, inuring constantly and all tho
time to the benefit of the capitalist, the
rich man in this, that during the rise
ii prices the rich man alone can fully
take advantage of it, having the capi
tal to purchase. Having purchased in
lots, erhaps, lands and merchandise,
he sells in quantities to suit to the
poor man at the increased rates, thus
making money in the sale, and again
when the prices come down he buys at
his own figures, '-bed rock" as it is call
ed, or forecloses his moitgage and again
has the poor man at a great disadvan
tage. The last thing to go up during infla
tion Is the poor man's wages, and the
first to be reduced when hard times
comes on is his meagre pittance. Re
call the past and see if this is not true.
We are on the eve of genuine -prosperity,
hard earned and secure prosperity.
We have waded through Inflation,
Gold-ism, Granger-ism, Bond-ism, and
all the evils that too surely follow a

The morn is breaking. The sun-rise
of a sure, an unfluctuating currency,

This was three quarters of a century
ago, the description of its effects, above,
was written before the results of our
experiment in paper money could be
known, and yet observe how exactly
similar the steps have been up to a cer
tain point.

1 heir basis was land assigned to the
holder: our3 was bonds or notes (based
on the faith of the government) as
signed to the holder; the very process
es followed each other closely. The
first Assignats bore interest, after is
sues did not. The first issues of our
money bore interest, after issues did
not. The first bonds were payable in

of this plan of creating money led to
its being repeated. Just what the
Greenback craze demands exactly; the
facility with which paper money can
be rnade.theapparentand momentarily

great portion of the nation becomes
infatuated with this felicitous means
of creating wealth.

ed in such illimitable quantities that
the security (though land) became
swamped. Let us see what she did in
her next great emergancy.
Perhaps some will say this i3 a coin
argument, the gold bug side and only
gold and silver should circulate as me
diums of Exchange. By no means.
For 50 years after this France circu
lated only gold and silver. In 1803 the
bank of France (and it alone) wa au
thorized to issue notes, and they were
made a L "gal Tender for the purpose
of convenience of exchange. No oc
casion for an unusual supply of paper
money occured until the war with
Germany. As in our own Country, in
every country France needed more
money in war than in peace. Tner.
too she was conquered and had a large
indemnity to pay. She paid it She
used paper money to do it, Bhe, paid a
portion of it in paper.
This is often misquoted by our
Greenback friends as an instance of
the benefits of an irredeemable issue,
an unlimited issue of paper currency.
France paid her debt off with it.
She did nothing of the kind. Ac
cording to Victor Bonnet good au
thority to meet her war expenses she
did increase her legd tender paper
money issue till it reached 1,800,000,000
Francs, but it was kept at par by a
coin reserve of 600,000,000 francs (or
33 per cent of coin, a pretty fair bank
ing reserve) and besides it was al
ways a promise to pay ; It was always
redeemable and the law of 1876 ex
pressly provided that the Bank of
France should resume tpecie payments
when the public debt had been reduc
ed to 300,000.000 Francs; or in other
words, when the debt was reduced to a
point where it was possible to redeem
it in coin if really necessary.
A great Nation, a nation of mighty
resources, like ourselves, she could pay
her debt off, she did make her money
good but it was never by an issue of
irredeemable paper.

Follow France in this if you like but
not in her first experiment.
France, a country of wonderful re
sources, a country whose exports have
exceeded her imports as a rule by
millions of dollars, could pay her debt
off or did do it by heavy taxation in a
few years. We do not argue that we
should do this, we do not favor any
further contraction, we simply protest
against the absurd and desperate the
ory that an increased issue of paper
based on no new want, no great need
would obviate hard times and better

An Astonishing Fact.
A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from tho ef
fects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver.
The result of these diseases upon the
masses of intelligent and valuable peo
ple is most alarming, making life ac
tually a burden instead of a pleasant
existence of enjoyment and usefulness
as it ought to be. There is no good
reason for this, if you will only throw
aside prejudice and skepticism, take
the advice of Druggists and your
menus, aim try one bottle of Green s
August Flower. Your speedy relief
is certain. Millions of bottles of thii
medicine have been given away to try
its virtues, with satisfactory results in
every case. You can buv a sample
bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses
will relieve the worst case. Positively
sold by all Druggists on the western
continent. 281y-eow

In our style of climate, with its sud

in a single day, it is no wonder that
our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neglect

your home for immediate use will pre
vent serious sickness, a large doctor's

three or four doses. For curing Con
