Then fell and cut her chock ;

John V. Fat-well In the Now York Inde
pendent : Having hnd In my business ex
perience of over forty years In Chicago , some
opportunities of observing the result ) of state
nnd national legislation affecting thu cur
rency of tlio country , 1 wish to protest , Iu the
inline of all business Interests , ngainst the
present craze for the "free coinage of silver"
by the government , to which the United
States has nftlxcd Its ofllclil endorsement.
If this measure becomes effective law , It
must inevitably mnrsluil all moneyed institu
tions , which control the money of the country ,
against all other business Interests , simply
to protect thir own property from the Inevit
able depreciation which must follow the Hat
of the government , that debtors can pay their
obligations wltti silver , nt about bO cents on
the dollar.
Can anyone blame them if every gold coin
nnd gold certlllcato in their reach ( and they
have most of them ) , is tnkon out of circula
tion nnd held for the premium , whlcl- gold
must command in the face of such a law I
The silver legislation of the past ( not re
ferring to the present law , which utilizes sil
ver on a gold basis , to the extent of Sf > ' . ' ,000-
OUO per annum ) , has had the oITcct to induce
monetary institutions to niuko their time con
tracts payable in gold. Probably 75 per cent
at least of the western farm mortgages are
thus payable.
The farmer is bad enough off now , ns the
result of rapid utilization of nraololauds since
the war ; but with gold at a premium of i0 !
per cent , nnd his mortgage , principal nnd In
terest , payable in gold , whnt would then bo
left of him but n llminclnl corpse , without
Hcnellt , of clergy for burial I
Hnilroads have almost universally issued
gold bonds for their construction. If they
have to collect -freight and passage money in
silver to meet their indebtedness , they must
necessarily collect ! U ) per cent more to moot
their obligations , which tlio dear | > coplo must
pay. Do tbo present dividends on railroad
stocks and the herculean efforts of railroad
managers to make them more satisfactory to
their owners indicate that it will be nn easy-
job , with the business interests of the country
cast Into the vortex of a monetary revolu
tion ?
Our vast acreage has been turned into
money making machines till the United States
is supposed to bo the richest country in the
world. Farms nnd railroads have been made
just a little too fast in the past decade , and as
is always the case , farms have to sutler llrat ,
when und won't bear
corn potatoes transpor
tation for want of remunerative markets.
It Is 'not too little money , but too many
railroads and too many farms , as compared
with other Interests , that alls the country
just now , and a demagogic legal patent
to retire Immediately several hundred
millions of gold from our circulating money ,
and wait duo process of law to fill tlio
vacuum with silver , as our only lawful
money , and to discount our obligations at : < 0
per cent for the richest people iu the world-
tills looks to mo lika political , financial and
business dishonesty. It is the full team
which bogus democracy expects to pull It
Into power by the farmers' vote in 1S92 ,
without reference to results In tlio meantime.
It does not follow , because the farmer said
In unmistakable lancuago at the polls that an
increase in our tariff ( which should have
been reduced ) was a republican blunder , that
n democratic blunder two years in ndvnnco
of the election , which oy its operations will
make thorn all paupers , will put the blunder
ers into power by their votes. If anyone
thinks so. lot him wait tand see how tbo
farmers will vote in Ibiy , with a free silver
coinage law that will certainly crcaVo the
most colossal p.mlc that ever cursed our
country.
In 1-57 and ' 58 "stumptnll" state currency
was the heritage of Illinois , and my Ilrm
ndoptcd'wheat us the then best currency , be
cause It would , nnd aid , pay its debts , while
"stumptnil" state bank bills would not. Wo
got through the panic of ' 515 and ' 53 by tbo aid
of tlio farmers' wheat.
From the panic of 1891 , with silver as our
only money , no farmers' wheat will deliver
us , and so , for one , I expect our senators to
get wisdom , by the way of a white house
veto , provided the other house does not re
lieve the prosldonj by giving the country un-
llniitod coinage of American silver into legal
tender certificates on a gold basis ns a com
promise measure instead of $ tfiOO,000 per
month. Sueb a measure would bo endorsed
by monetary institutions until the volume of
such currency was equal to the demands of
commerce , ano such use of silver , by botli
bankers and people , demonstrated as benefi
cent by fair trial , would probably open tho.
way for nn International agreement for un
limited coinage nt rn ngrecd ratio with gold ,
which , to my mind , Is the only cure for scar
city of money nnd periodical monetary panics.
Senator."ones " , in proposing such a method
for the Inniteu use ol silver , has become the
John the Baptist in monetary science , if such
a result shall follow Us unlimited use on the
same basis as It very likely will. England
needs bi-mciallsm moro than America , and is
discussing it now vigorously. She borrowed
iJ,000OOOof gold from Franco at a per cent
when her own rate was 0 per cent in the late
money squeeze. Franco has moro silver than
gold , out was able in the late panic to lend
England at one-half her own per cent.
Allow mo to add that unwritten law may
intervene to prevent the realization of our
worst fears. Cool-headed bankers know that
panics and business failures proceeding from
monetary changes will react upon them , and
lienco all their sitill will bo challenged to
counteract the bad effects of unwise written
law , until calm publio sentiment can repeal
it. Congress cannot enact a permanent embargo
barge upon the business Interests of u free
peoplo.
