In the columns of TUB Br.n of late I no
ticed a letter from Mr. Avery , which , I pro
hiuno , was a reply to my former article. Ho
would have the dear people Impressed with
the Idea Unit In onlor to capture the golden
calf and retire to the nge of Jubllcothoymus
resort , totho use of that currency la whlcl
itsdoir.ois only n rainbow of hope. After
much deliberation on the Kcntlonun's manl
festo I llml it lias boon weighed In thobal
_ nnbo nnd found wanting.
Thorols nouso sum tnarixlng Mr. Avery1 :
etateiiionts , asvo are well acquainted wit !
tlio theory of the greenback party. As
example of"greonbackistn and tbo demerits I

There Is n poncration of people who believ
jnoney Is "a purely creation of law.
I regret thut Iho Aladdin palace made by th
green back party consists only of a Rlorltle
mist. I wish it had been n reality. If thi
Rovornitiont could make money what a ric

Tlio controlling Clement of tlio nlllnnco tell
us the government has the pov/orto put it
sovereign impress on a pi ceo of paper an
jimko it good money. There would seem the
xiobononeed of the governmentcollcctln
laves from us. It needs simply to start th
presses and grind out ship load
of paper and abolish poverty by pa >
Ing its own taxes , 'Thousands of fnrmei
"have been misinformed by their leaders o
the money question. They nro Informed tha
the preen back is the money for the poor man
Did anyone ever hear before of money thn
sought out only the poor man and despise
money kings nnd banks * Aldcn tins trul
oald : "Uoforo anything is money It must b
Bilch thnt its possessor fan go into inarku
nnd immediately use it In purchasing con
inoditles or pay ing debts. It is of the cs
scnce of money that It Is capable of makin
immediate payment cither to satisfy hello
'
or creditor. 'Whatvo are familiar wit
as tlio most approved form of money
ns the thing that will most certain !
TOO received in payment all over tt
\vorld , Is com of the precious metals. " It
ohvious , I think , why the claims of thcso ar
so universally accepted ; ilrat Is , thnt they do
not merely represent value , as wo shall find
other kinds of money do , but they really are
vidno.
What wns the cause of the great .national
calamity in 18571 It bad its root through
land and rnilroad speculation , bv converting
the irredeemable paper cucnidcy , which was
issued with authority from state govern
ments , Into something of a stable valuo. That
tvas the disaster that come from the luck of
a speclo basis. The panics of 1M7-7T1 were
caused by the fluctuation In the volume
and value of the national currency.
Out of this had arisen n wild
era of speeulatlon , which sapped the founda
tions of business , destroyed ilnanclal confi
dence nnd ended in disaster. Joseph II ,
" \Valkrr , an eminent economist , lias truly
said : "lu all departure from a sound cur
rency , such ns out country made , tlio suitor-
ins and loss of the wngoworkors are many
fold moro than any other class. "
Advocates of cheap money always claim
that such measures will bcnollt tbo man in
moderate circumstances , nnd particularly the
a.wontciii. MIIU UXIIK umuiny
fact , as the foliuxvlng- tables indicate.
While wages slowly increased from
1681 In ttio number of dollars
paid the workman , tlielr
power the real value of his wages , incas-
Tireu by what they would buy just ns surety
decreased. Per Instance , ' 'dyers who re
ceived 07 cents a day In 18(50 ( and $1 in 1S04 ,
could onlv buy with their 51 in 1804 what
they could buy with 50 cents in 1SOO. " Their
real wngos , therefore , In 1SU ( were one-
quurter less than hi 1800 , while nominally
one-third moro. And today , In 1S91 , they are
receiving ono-hnlf moro than in IbiW. to-vviti
$1.50 In metallic currency , which will buy
twice ) as much as 11.50 would In ISG4 under
nn Inflated currency. J , B. Horold Hogcrs
in Work and Wages says : "Whcii prices of
the necessaries of life rise , wages do not rise
with them. No crime against labor is more
injurious than expedients adopted on the
part of govern mint which tends to rniso
prices. "
'The experiment of depreciating the cur
rency was never tried in any country unuer
circumstances moro favorable to the wage-
workers than hero , A war was In progress
during four years of tbo time , of such vast
proportions that the consumption of the ag
gregate products of labor was increased
by fully one-tenth , besides while inoro
than ono-tci.th of the mm wlio competed
with cnch ether In the labor market were em
ployed in military operations , which was the
equivalent of increasing the market for the
lauorcr by one-fourth. Under these
apparently favorable conditions for
the wnjro worker , the value of his
\vagesouKhtto have materially increased , in-
etcad of depreciating. If It is possible for him
to ever save himself from loss in periods of a
debased currency.
Any in Jury to the credit or class Is an Injury
J to the debtor class. IjYllow farmers , beware
! ofnn irredeemable currency.Vo nro not
1 ' counted out of tbo class Injured liy inflation.
AVhat wo demand Is a sound currency , so
that It snail bo Insured tbo payment of its
credits In the best moiioj money ns good
mid of ns great , purchasing power as that of
the most favored creditor class. Then on
the Justice of the next great demand , fora
fairer distribution of tlio benefits of wealth.
1'rovont It from being concentrated In the
lands of centralized power. I moan these
\vlio have accumulated millions from ttio
hands of their follow men , nnd not those who
necu nuilatcd their wealth in a legitimate and
honorable way.
While the farmers are demamllnpr reform
from the urlovauco they now endure , they
jiced no loRislatlon 011 such defunct schemes
ns Jerry Sockloss Simpson has proposed , to
nbpllsh poverty .among the Impoverished
fanners , n it wlllcnd only in disaster. There
nro many radical lenders who are dictating to
the nilsla formed farmers visionary schemes
for their redress. The resumption act of
1870 brouphi a depreciated currency to par
nnU strengthened our national credit. 1 be
lieve nntional credit is national wealth.
Today by virtue of the gold redemption fund ,
tvhlchhiid been maintained for several years ,
every irrconback Is as good as gold. Among
the foremost duties of the treasury of tlio
United States today Is to preserve n sound
currency , to maintain public coiilldence. and
to preserve all rtu basis for the sound busi
ness of the country.
The country was laboring under a disad
vantage In 1873 of a paper currency. It wns
involved In meshes of paporwitb tlio metallic
currency at a premium. The greonbackcr
believes' that congress can say , "LoUtlicro bo
a dollar , " and there la a dollar. lauinot an
iutlatlonUt. I have no respect for the absurd
dogma of the supreme court that congress
lias power toranko anything a legal tender ,
because not prohloltcU by tbo constitution
from so doing1. Tib' supreme court never
licld that it greenback could work out Its own
salvation nnd redeem Itself. Tiioro must bo
spcdobehind it , to be liiul on askingor tlio
greenback will depreciate.
I reiterate my former statement : "By the
constant usp ol paper representatives of
money wo come to regard the symbol ns the
thuiR itself , and mistake the shadow for the
substance. " Franco has a stronger basis
for a paiter circulation than any other nation ,
llor metallic currency exceeds the paper by
more than a lhlnttha , doe.i not wish to resort
to paper for her circulating medium , Tlio
United State * , with her banking facilities
nnd present pcr'caplta In circulation make it
nearly adequate with that of Franco.
lly referring to jho past history of Iho
monetary system \vo will find the rudlmon-
tary commerce In the early j-tagos of clvlllzn-
tlon was conducted solely by barter. The
people would exchange cither hor'cs , slicep
and cattle for grain or somelhlnfi ; of pronor-
onal value. Very curly la the world's hls-
ory , so early that'tho date is lost , in oblivion ,
illvcr and pold bec.ni to bn used for this pur-
> osc. TJltlmntoly the coin has coma Into use.
Vow , the fact must bo ilxcd , la the mind that
.ho net of colnlng-tho governmental stamp
in the colu-ts merely the Government's
Kunrantco of the weight of the
III nnd tha fineness of the racial ,
or Instance , the stamp on the
Kold dollar telU any one lo whom it may bo
( ITcrcd that it weighs S.'i.S pralns of metal ;
.hat Is , nine-tenths of Its weight is of nuro
cold and one-tenth of alloy. Kccolleut this
hat the tfovorruncnt stamp confers no
value upon tbo coin. It merely ccrtlllcs to
Its weight and purity. The history of our
colnnso shows clearly the fact that , when
two r-oliu are put In circulation stclo by side ,
and the metal in ono Is worth moro than the
metal in the other , the ouo worth the moro
wlllluavo the country. Tlio less valuable
drives out the more valuable. The same
with paper currency.V'o must bear
in mind that the trade dollar
wni not madon legal tender , became , lint , It
was not Intended ntnll for circulation in this
country , but to bo nn aid to foreign trade ,
where It wns hoped II. wotil'l ' ciivulato the
Hnmo as the Mexican dollar. This hope was
not realized , however , and congress rupoalod
that portion of the law relating to their coinage -
ago , called them in and molted thorn into bul
lion , which is now In the treasure vaults.
Wocannoth.ivo In this country thu larRO
issue of tlio national notes during the civil
war without any considerable amount of gold
and silver in reserve , either In the bunds of
the people or in the vaults of the gov
ernment. Its rapid depreciationw-as not
from a want of faith In the tprornmont ulti
mately paying thcso notes , but because It ,
was apparent that the government could not
then pny In coin. It is not tbo amount of
money or its cheapness that makes good and
prosperous times.
The step to make cheap money out of
paper is easy. Massachusetts Bay led the
way in this country in 1090. Ifor 10,000 in
pnpor , as ono of her own historians tolls us ,
made n legal tender for taxes , was the fore
runner of that avaiauclio of colonial and con
tlnental paper money so disastrous
in its results before and dur
ing the war for Independence. Soon cutno
the recognition of. the true principles of
monoy. They W TO no moro deluded wltn
issues ot unconvertible paper. Experience
was their teacher and it taught them mi irre
deemable paper currency was a delusion ami
a snaro. They could tin press their sov-
orelgntyon npieco of paper , leather or tin ,
but thu question confronted them whether
or not It would bo good policy , nnd their
answer was no. I-'rom all these and other
evils caino the constitution , with its great
money chart. A chanpo for bettertimcs liad
.sot In before 1787. Such wns the schooling
06 our ancestors , nnd such the sit
uation when they came to form
the constitution. Ko people ever hail
better reason to desire reformation in their
monetary laws ; none wiser or abler states
men to Uovlso nnd formulate the charges
needed. They 'wrote in the constitution
and tholr words cannot bo too closely
studied In tholiRlit of their situation and ex
perience , by every Intelllgcntrltizen of today ,
Mr , Justice Clifford says : "Tbat the pur
pose of Iho framcrs of the constitution waste
to provide n permanent standard of value ,
which should at all times and under allcir
cumstances consist of coin , fabricated nnd
stamncd from sold nnil silver. "It was to
Riiard against liexlblo money that Webs to
pleaded so eloquently and it Is the horribli
recollection of assljjnats , as well as
John Law's Mississippi buDblo that causoi'
the French to have no faith In paper inone\
and the prolonged sufferings which resulted
from too much "flexibility" In the currency ,
Ouphtnot wo Americans to have equallj
as lively a recollection of continental money
confederate money and thclwiRon loads ol
shlnplastors nnd paper frauds that circulated
in this country before tno wars Air. Aver
says bo "has touched lightly on the subject.
It is evidently seen that ho has , for if ho bad
touched very hard ho would have touche
the corpse ot the greenback party. For i
has hail its day.
The statistics I have In my possession af
fords mo the following facts : As near a.
can bo ascertained , the greatest amount o
United States notes , commonly callct
"greenbacks , " in existence July 1,18M , ( , was
S-I47,3)0,20U ( ) , but of that amount tiioro was in
thnUnited States treasury gtf..lS ' 1,213. Tha
left in actual circulation SHill5)9U. ! ! ) Then
were in circulation at the same tlmo othc
forms of paper money amounting to$239U7 , : ,
of flW-MfiS.S'U July li IW , there was in
existence of paper money formerly issued in
the U nited States the following amounts ;
State bank notes $170,157,717
Compound Interest'notes ' 0.000,000
Fractional currency 22,89-1,877
Greenbacks 447,300,20 ; !
National bank notes 31,2115.270
Total * CSOW3.0fi7
Of this amount there wore in the United
States treasury $31,235,270 of ureenbacks ,
leaving in circulation as before stated , $ G. > 4.-
4(13,85-1. ( The population at that time is esti-
matea to have been ' 14,040,000 , which made
an average of $19.S3 of paper money for each
man , woman and child at that time in the
country. It must bo borne In mind that at
thnt time neither gold nor silver was being
used as currency in the United States. Both
were then at high premium , and were bought
and sold as commodities. Gold was used in
payment of customsdutlos , anil the govern
ment paid the in tcrcst on its bonds with gold.
There wns estimated nt that time to bo of
gold cola In this country the sum
of f' 03,000,000. Thor.e was in the treasury nt
tnat date ? 18,05i,5SO. : Tliero was also esti I-
mated to he $10,000,000 , of silver in the United
States at thut tlmo , of which ? ( V25TO5 was la
the treasury. If tlieso amounts of gold and
silver wcro nddod to the pa per money then In
circulation the sum would bo increased to
S3I8,1S4,90S , , , which would have been $ J4.01
for each person in the United States nt that
time. There was outstanding July 1 , ISO t ,
ono and two years' notes of 1S&J totho
amount of ? 1K,471,450. ) These notes were not )
Included as paper money , because they wore
Interost-boarlnK obligations of the
govern
ment , were nt that tlmo ut a premium and
were bolncr rapidly funded In 5-20 and 10-40
bonds. Of' course such obligations could
In no sense bo called currency , but
If treated as circulating medium
and added to the paper money then In circu
lation , it would hayc raised the amount of
paper money to $ ' 24.74 per capita. If the gold ;
and silver not In the treasury at thnt date
bo added to thnt sum , it will iiukofl,001,050-
SW , or f29.43 ! per capita. You must bear in
mind , as thcso notes wcro not money , and us
the metallic currency wns not in circulation ,
tlio real amount of circulating medium at
tliat tlmo for each person wus $10.21
Now , Mr. Avery , the amount of greenbacks
was decreased from year to year , up to Ib73 ,
and then there wns a now issue of f 20,000,000 ; ,
soon July 1 , 1874 , there wcro outstanding
StfS'J.OOO.OOO. . From thnt date there
was a gradual reduction in the
amount up to Juno 1 , 1S78 , when
tbo sum outstanding ivas 110,031.010 I } ,
At thut time the law was approved which
forbauo the retirement of any moro of these ;
United States notes , and that K the amount
of greenbacks now In existence. From these
statements It is evident that there is now
5100,019,287 , less of greenbacks in existence
tban were outstanding July 1,1SO-I. when
tno highest was probably reached. The I1O
tnl amount of money outstanding and In cir
culation July 1 , 1ST8. w s ? 7M,70r , S07. There
was iu the treasury of the United States JOl- -
OlO.StHl , Deducting that amount from the entire -
tire sum Issued , it leaves SOW,704,911 , which
\vos the amount of money in circulation July
1 , IS7S. Gold is not included In the estimate ,
because it was still at a premium and not ftat
general use as monoy. The population at :
that tlmo was 47r.93OOU , which shows atat
on that date there was In circulation as money
only ? l4.5t5 per capita.
The lenders of the farmers' alliance vo
informed us that the volume of currency has
been constantly contracted for many years
past , which I presumed was the gospel truth , ,
lly referring to tbo documents in my posses -
slon , under the ofllcial signature of the treas
urer , Illud ttio amount of circulating medium
In oxlstenco February 1 , lb9I , was * 3,143 , .
Qtf.DlM , and the amount la the treasury was
Ol ! > ,7'JI,74tt. , Deduct that amount from
S-JH-M7IKM and it leaves the quau-
tlty of money in actual circulation
among the people , which Is $ lr& > ,7 ! > 0,251 ,
The census just taken shows tliut wo bavo i a
population of IM.OOO.OOO. So that today there
is In actual circulation for every roan , woman
and child In tills country the sum of $34.SO ,
as against I13..V1 In 1S7S , and $19.23 in 1604 ,
provided you Include as money at tboso dates
only such currency as was In actual use lesas
inouoy at the tlmo. It prove * that wo really
have vastly moro money in circulation nnd
half 03 much again as In thu good times from
1173 to 18S5. Some may rofnto tlifl e-jtlmato
ns to 1801 , and claim there was then In use
$20.40 per capita , which I deny far the rea
sons formerly given. 1'rlces were good and
thhss were then prosperous.
Is It not sunlclent evidence for us to look
somewhere else for the cause of business de
pression than to the amount of circulating
medium ! CSood holiest dollars , the money of
the constitution , is what wo want , and want
will bo bettor for the entire people In the end
of any nation , So long as our currency Is till
convertible , without expense to Iho bolder ,
into trc best , It will all be good. Uo to the
Argentine Ucpubllc for Its history of paper

Tlio "Way Holler liispeclloii'ls Alleged ,
tn I5c Done.
Joseph H. Stntidoven is city nollcr inspco
tor at a salary of ? lSOO and has ono assisti
nut , .John Clair , who receives a salary of
§ 1,200. ,
Clair was seen Thursday at the oflico of the
insDOctor inasomi-intoxicatcd condition. Ho
stated that the work of inspection was done
principally oa Sundays ns most establish
ments wore closed on that day and the boil
ers cold , Ho declined to state how tlio week
days wro spent.
hi reply to the cRiestlon ns to how often a
holler was inspected ho said they "got nearly
around in n year. " Sumdevcii kct ) ; nil the
records , ho said , uud liu knew nothing about
the average number of boilers Inspected yer
month ,
Ho was nskcd about tlio ordinance rolutliiR
to "safety iilups" und stated that ho did not
want to talk on that subject "as ho wanted
to hold his Job. " Ho expressed tlio opinion
that the things wore useless as a need engi
neer who understood his business had no
need of thorn , licsidcs that , "scales formed
oil the inner enU of the plugs and prevented
them from fusing. "
A visit to Hie ofllcos of the city clerk and
comptroller shovoaPtliat the boiler inspector
liad made no report to the council since the
Jlrat of the j-car. Ho made a deposit of $ SO
with the treasurer on February JJ , covering
fees collected durinfi January. The ordi
nance requires him to make reports of In
spections quarterly , and "monthly If ro-
eiulred. "
The accounts of the boiler inspector are
checked by the comptroller to sco chat the
amount of money tunica over to the treas-
mor corresponds with the stubs In tha uoote
o ! receipts ( or Inspections and lieensos Is
sued. There is no check in the oflico except
the quarterly reports and these stubs. The
system of receipting for fees is the same as
that In the ofllcc of the superintendent of
plumbing. Til ere is nothing to prevent the
inspector from giving his "personal receipt"
for fees and pocketing tlio latter ,
William B. .Austin , engineer at Sillier < k
Gundcrs6n's sash and door factory , and sec
retary of the Omaha led e of stationary engi
neers , stated that tlio "safety plugs"vvcro
useless contrivance : * . Ho had hail experience
'
with them and' was satisfied they wcro of no
practical utility. The formation of scales ou
the inner end of tlio plujr prevented It from
fushigwhcii the water was low. Tlieso pliiRs
had lioen in use for years on river steamers
and uud proved a failure.
Spealdngof Standcvoii , ho said ho ( Stand-
oven ) was a poor excuse for aimiKineor , as
ho ( .Austin ) knew o ( several Instances in
which ho had asked applicants for onsinecrs'
licenses very foolish ciuostious , and there
wcro other cases in which licenses had been
( ranted without asltlng the applicants any
questions at nil.
Austin produced Standeven's ' certificates
of inspection , which showed thut the hitter
had inspected tlio boilers at tlio mill on No
vember 1 , 1SS7 , and again hi August , 1MK ) .
No inspection had been nmdo by Standovea
between those dates.
Nearly all the Inspections of hollers are
made by Clair , Stinidevon not doing much of
anything , according to Austin.
Tlio board of engineers consists of Btando-
ven , D.ivld . Gilbert and Arthur I'cndcr. The
two Jattor receive # -t each for each meeting
of the board , Their duties tire to examine
applicants for licenses us eiiKlneCM.
There nra no regular questions , the appli
cants being subjected to un oral examination.
There are no records of the proceed
ings of the board except the stubs
showing the licenses issued. No ono ,
except members of the board , knows whatnot *
nil applicant for an engineer's ccrtillmte has
Icon asked one or ono hundred questions ,
A little stub in a book is the only chcclc ou
the lluancial work of the inspector.
