THE NEBRASKA INDEPEDENT June 10, 1897 THE GOLD STANDARD. HA3 IT NOT BEEN FULLY TRIED IN THE UNITED STATES t fr At foliar ef VfoJncU and Bayer of Cmcjt Henr We Want tke Latter . CkajIf Dollars Ar gaum. Tbctr Arc ' Ctrf U Oct, and tha Producers Suffer. If it is tree, as alleged by Steward P. Ileed in the April number of Tbe Gen tleman Farmer, and by other supporters t tho gold standard, that Its effects are Oeneficent and universal, tho farm, above all other industries of tbe United States, ought to be in a prosperous con- . ditioa. The farm, furnishing as it does flve-oightb of all the articles of export for which that precious metal is re ceived and also affording employment to 8,000,000,000 persons as against 4,000,000 engaged in manufacturing and other industrial pursuits, might to fairly reflect the bcuefits of the gold tandard. To simply say that it has been beneficial without pointing out some of these particular bonefits will not suffice in times like these, when facta and figures are at the command of all who can or will read. If there is one characteristic more than another that tbe average American possesses it is fairness. That spirit insures a respect ful bearing to all, so that there is no occasion for silence on tbe part of any one, possessed of the secret. If the gold tandard is a good thing, tbe American people want it; if it is not, they do not The way to determine whether or not it is a good thing is to note its effect upon the greatest number and not upon the few who make tbe greatest display. Anything in order to be good must be general. If gold is a good thing, its beneficent results ought to be some where manifested outside of New York or Boston. The fact that money is plen tiful in theso places is no evidence of na tional prosperity. On the contrary, it is more apt to denote a dearth of money elsewhere. Money, while it possesses a magic gift in the matter of accumula tion, does not possess the power of be ing in the hands of the people and in tbe bands of the pawnbrokers at one and the same time. When one has it, the other is necessarily without it. If tbe theory that wealth is a -good thing Without reference to any other condi tion is true, then highway robbery, in stead of being nnder the ban of the law, would receive its sanction.' Tbe man who Jbolds up a train could say at the conclusion of bis work that no wrong bad been committed, because there was Just as much money on tho train as there was before he commenced busi ness, but that plea, while true in a gen eral senso, would not save him from the penitentiary. The only case where a thing can bo said to bu good is where it produces good to the greatest number. The fact that property in New York city has increased in value would be a good thing for the owners and not necessarily a bad thing for the nation if it bad not depreciated in the great states of the west and sonth. If it can be shown that those who lived, not by toil, but by tribute, have dono so at the expense of the nation's builders, then the system is wrong and should be righted. Those who live in New York deal ex clusively in money; those who live in tbe west deal in products alone. The value of the former's product is estab lished by the limitation of law -no one can make it but tho law itself -while tbe latter is open to tho competition of the world. As money has no procreative power of itself, being an inanimate ob ject, it can only increase by use. That service and the value of that service will necessarily be measured by the number of dollars that are bidding for employment. If the dollars aio few, the price will be high; if plentiful, the price will be low. This is the interest that tho Yuoney lenders have in scarce money. Money is their stocft in trade; they sell it just as labor is sold under the law of supply and demaud. When it is scarce, the price of it is high that is, it will buy more of a given amount of property of every kind und nature except its own kind than it will when it is abundant In its operation, money runs pnrallol with labor, being cheap when abundant and dear when scarce, but in the matter of its creation it is diametrically oppo site. The law places a limitation upon tbe amount of money, but it does not exercise any control over tho number of people who come into the world or the number of acres of cotton or wheat they cultivate. In this respect the money owner or tho money lender has an ad vantage by law over bin fellow mau, who nnder that same law is obliged to use money. Tho price that he pays for tbat mouey will bo determined by tbe amount cf it in existence. The price, of course, is not determined in dollars, as dollars are never wed to buy dollars, bat by the amount of property it takes to ixjuirc the dollar. A ;'0 goldpiece, even though it doubles in value, will never purvbasa morn than another fao Coldpieco, but it will purchase 40 trortb of everything due. This is tho only wy that money tiilmiictg in value, It canuot be placed in an incubator, lik C2t and made to bring forth more money. Lecauim it has no reproductive power, It must b done through tui- DCM agl'UcU'S.

Tbe United States, while liberally endowed with the spirit of philanthropy, Is not doin 1 business wholly upon that Nations, like individuals, engage in business primarily for profit This is the motive that actuates every man and every nation in their efforts, and until such time as the world by "interna tional agreement" declares its will ingness to accept tbe Utopian theory I am opposed to. making the American farmer and the American cotton grower feed and clothe Europe at a figure be low tbe cost of production, as they are now doing. Philanthropy is all right in its place, but it has no place in tho trade relations of nations. A recent poster of the "Prosperity Show" see small handbills for partic ulars announces that the New York banks contain $350,000,000. Boston can bo credited with $150,000,000 more, while Philadelphia and a few other cit ies on the Atlantic hold enongh addi tional to make the total $000,000,000. This is 100 per cent of all the gold or priaary money and 83 per cent of all the money in tho United States. How that money ever got there in such quan tities is a question I shall leave to the Lexow committee, while I proceed to show that no part of it is in the section that produced it As tho states of Oregon, Washington and California form a fairly representa tive section of the Union, both in the character and volume of their products, their condition can safely be said to represent the condition of all states en gaged in tho production of articles of export. During the 50 years from 1854 to 1894 tho state of Oregon produced wheat, lumber, precious metals and canned salmon to the amount of $400, 000,000. Ninety per cent ot this was sold in foreign countries. It went direct from the point of production to the point of consumption in Europe. More than two-thirds of this exportable wealth was produced on laud that was the outright gift of the government and was transported almost wholly up on natural waterways. The railroad, which may be to somo extent responsi ble for agricultural impoverishment in Kansas and other interior states, plays but an insignificant part in the impov erishment of Oregon. Two-thirds of all this wealth was produced convenient to waterways, was transported by such and paid no tribute to railroads what ever in its primary condition. So far as the railroad is concerned, every dollar of tho money received amounting to $360,000,000 passed direct from the consumer in Europe to the producer in Oregon, During that same period the country that is, tho United States enjoyed in turn free trade, a high pro tective tariff and tariff for revenue, so that whatever was good or evil in these measures the country experienced. Gold during all theso years enjoyed equal privileges as money with silver, and for many years at least has enjoyed all privileges, so that its relation to trade is most clearly defined. If it was a good thing that is, a thing calculated to en rich those vho produco wealth some tangible proof of its goodness will some where bo in evidence. If production of wealth constituted ownership of that wealth, San Fran cisco, Portland and Seattle would be tho richest cities in tho world, while New York, Boston and Philadelphia, if measured by the same law that is, their power to bring dollars from other countries would never have been born. But what is the condition today? Tho sections which have brought the only foreign dollars that ever cume into the United States (except the proceeds of a cargo of wooden nutmegs sold by Con necticut) are practically penniless, while the sections that never sold a dollar's worth of produce to the outside world ond could barely supply their own wants with the staple articles of life are pos sessed of all the wealth. The states that now own all the gold and nearly all of the silver and never produced an ounce of either and never sold a dollar's worth of wheat, cotton, corn, lumber or beef to tho world are rich beyond meas ure, while the states that produced and exported these things to tbe extent of $13,000,000,000 are so poor that a strict interpretation of tho vagrant law would land all of them in jail. J. T. Flynu in Knights of Labor Journal. The Cruwi of Truats. The politicians of both tho great old parties have agreed with tho peoplo that trusts are a greut evil iu our body poli tic. It is strange that it has never occurred to any of these statesmen to look for tho causes that produce trusts and to point out to tho people these causes and to look for a means to remove tho causes. If we could tomorrow break the cor ner on the money market, if we could in fuse new lifo into the veins cf com rm roe, if prices should begiu to rixo, nearly every trust in existence would crumble and viuiUh like fog before the riling sun that is, rvery trust except those thai havo ln formed by collu sion with trtuixrtation line y receiv ing relate. to.

Seeing in The Express that many in dependent or private mints are spring ing up over tbe country, these enter prises not only being profitable to them selves, but of public benefit by increas ing the currency, I cannot see why th r should be so much objection to them when we consider that prior to the Rev olutionary war tobacco was currency i:i the colony of Virginia. Tobacco was made currency and a legal tender by tho house of burgesses, with tbe concurrence of the governor, who was appointed ly the crown of Englund. Yes, tobacco was a legal tender for all debts both public and private. The planter paid bis merchant's bills with it Taxes were paid with it Tho sher iff's fees and the minister's salary were all paid in tobacco. Tho planters were both the miners and coiners of money, and a plantation was then better than a silver mine is now, for its owner had not only the liberty of mining, but also tbo liberty of coining into money, and any man who had sufficient musclo and en ergy to handle the plow and the bee could be the producer of legal teller money. And during the time thac to bacco was currency the citizens of tho colony of Virginia grew in wealth, in intelligence and in influence more rap idly than any other people ever did in the same time. They outstripped all the other colonies iu wealth and influ ence. Even at the present day her de scendants now residing in the far west are continually writing back, tracing their ancestors into Virginia, looking back with pride and honor to those great grandparents who used tobacco as currency. Now, Mr. Eaynolds, bow is this? Wo bad privileges then even under the Brit ish crown that we do not have now if the miner has not tho right to coin bis silver into money. What was the Revolutionary var fought for? Were the privations and hardships endured by tho continental soldier for the purpose of replacing the despotism of the crown of England with a worse and moro oppressive one, the despotism of land sharks and usu rers? It is said the continental soldiers could bo trucked by the blood from their bare feet upon the frozen ground or snow, enduring hardships that no other sol diers ever did, thinking, no doubt, that the precious blood thus spent would one day bo repaid by tho blessed freedom en joyed by their descendants. Now must we admit that this waa all a farce and a fraud? As an illustration of the facts given above I will copy an order of tbe county court which 1 found some years ago in a record book in old Uuppahan nock, now extinct This is copied ver batim: At a court held for Ruppnhnnnock Co. the 2nd duy of Junuary Anno Dom. 10U8.

To tho end therefore that it may be done with all the ezproHHioiiH of joy this county is capa ble ot, tho Court hath ordered tliat Capt. George Taylor do provide & bring to the North Bide Court Houho for the county as mutch Bum or other strong Liquor with sugar pro portionable as nhall amount to six thousand five hundred pound of tobacco to be distrib uted amoiigKt the Troops of horse companey of foot and other Pcrmum that xluill lie present at the sd solumnitie.

The foregoing order may seem queer to some of your readers, but it only shows that tobacco was tho lawful mon ey of that day and that all Virginia planters raised it und cured it, or, in other words, coined it into money and stood in tho very place of tho silver miner aud independent coiners of money of tho present day. Mouey being raised by tho planter, there were no usurers or money loauers in those days to eat up the profits of the producer, for tho producers produced their own money directly. J.

POPULIST RAILWAY SCHEME. Oovernor Ied7 OflVn a Flu For Stat Ownership. The scheme of a people's railway waa broached by Governor Leedy at an in dignation meeting of 3,000 Populists beld here to discuss freight rates, and bis proposition was enthusiastically re ceived. After referring to tbe recent supreme court decision further curtailing the authority of the interstate commerce commission, be declared that tbe time bad come for the people of the west to act, and he said tbat tbey mast them selves furnish the needed relief from ex orbitant freight rates. He proceeded to outline bis plan, which, he said, bad been maturing for four months. He announced tbat be ap peared as the representative of a com pany of railroad men, who desired to go into partnership with the pubho in the building of a railroad from some point in central Nebraska, through Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas, to the gulf. He said the company waa able and ready to complete tbe road, provided tbe public would take the majority in terest in it, and tbat the public need not put up ono cent until tbe railroad should be completed. The proposition is tbat tbe states and municipalities shall bold the majority of stock. The men associated with him did 'not propose to take in any outside capital save that of tbe states And mu nicipalities, which would be tbe ma jority, and they proposed to run the railroad themselves or to allow the ma jority interests to run it. The stocks and bonds of the company it if proposed to issue through the Tex as railroud commissioners or the other states owning, as might be agreed. " Prominent Texans, tho governor said, bad expressed 11 willingness to take bold of tho scheme, and he believed that Texas was willing to invest somo of her 122,000,000 in surplus school funds to secure more equitable freight rates. It is asserted, too, that the 4,500 con victs in Texas could be put to work on the roadbed, the state receiving pay for their labor iu first mortgage bonds. Mankato (Kan. ) Press-Dispatch. Wanted A Thunderstorm. There are times when nature seems languorous and sick. There is no life in tbe air, the heat is oppressive, the cor rupted atmosphere teems with malig nant life which preys on vitality; we pant and gasp, and yet tbe lungs do not got what they seek. This is rhe condition of the globe to day. The mouey lenders are absorbing the vitality of tho world. A cowardly breed of cruel brutes has got humanity by the throat It moans and gasps, but cannot rise. . , With its newspaper wings the great vampire of greed fans the troubled vic tims into an unhealthy sleep, while the blood, the snbstance of the people, flows into insatiable gullets. Day by day things grow worse, and tbe power of the peoplo to defend them solves becomes feebler. Wo need a thunderstorm not a sum mer shower to simply wet the gilded crowns of kings, but an earth rocking burricano, that shall sweep away dy nasties aud syndicates -Rothschilds and Rockefellers that shall level nations while the whole heavens are alive with tangled lightnings, but which, when it passes away, shall leave tho air as sweet as on the morning of creation, while amid tho dripping trees of a new Eden mankind shull ariso glorious and free free forever. Ignatius Donnelly in Representative. National Hank Safety. Logansport, Ind., has furnished an other illustration of tho infamously rot ten financial system which curses the country at the present time. Business everywhere is dependent on the banks, and tho banks are dependent on depos itors for their capital. Whenever it pays better to quit business than to continue, a suspension is the natural course in this ago of business activity. The pres ident of the national bank at Logans port raked in $300,000 in cash from his patrons, largely farmers who thought it very accommodating of Uncle Sam to establish a national bank where they could deposit their money safely. When be bad secured as big a haul as ho could, the bank closed, and he now pro poses to plead guilty to a charge of em bezzlement, will probably recoive a sen tence of three years in tho pen and re duco the term by good behavior under prison rules to about two yeura Tbe farmers around LoguniMiU havo learn ed that it national bank hi not any moro safe iu any way than a private bank, und tho lost 300,000 will bo a coustant reminder cf the fact.
