Farwell, Prin John V pendent the Me , Protests Against 1t Parwell in the New York Inde Haviog had in my business ox perience of over forty years in Chicago, some opportunities of observing the results of state and national legislation affecting the cur rency of the country, I wish to protest, in the name of all interests, against tho present craze for the “free coinage of silver’ by the government, to which the United States has affixed its official endorsement, If this measure becomes effcetive luw, it must inevitably marshal all moneyed institu- tions, which control the money of the country, against all other business intorests, simply to protect thir own property from the inevit able depreciation which must follow the fia of the government, that debtors can pay their obligations with siiver, at about 80 c¢ the dollar. Can anyone blame them 1f every gold coin and gold Certiticate in their reach (and they have most of them). is takon out of circula. tion and held for the premium, whict gold must command 1 the fuce of such a law? The silver legislation of the past (not re ferring to the vresent law, which utilizes sil- ver on 4 gold basis, to the'extent of #5200, 000 per annum), has had the effect to monetary institutions to make their time con- tracts payable in gold, Probably i per cent at least of the western farm mortgages are thus payable, The farmer is bad enough off now, as the result of rapid utilization of aravlelands since the war; but with gold at a preminm of per cent, and his mortgage, principal and i terest, payable in gold, what woula then be left of im but a financial corpse, without uenetit of clevgy for burial Raulroads have almost universally issned gold bonds for their construction, ' If they have to collect freight and passage money in silver to meot their indebtedness, they must necessarily collect 30 per cent more to meet their obligations, which the dear people must pay. Do the present dividends on railroad stocks and the hereulean efforts of rwiroad managers to make them more sausfactory to their owners indicate that it will be job, with the business mteresf cast into the vortex of a tion Our vast_acreage has been turned money making machines till the Uni is supposed to be the richest country 1 the world. Farms aud railroads have been mudo just alittle too fast in the past decade, aud as is always the case, farms have to suffer first, when corn and potatoes won't bear transpe tation for want of remuncrative markets. It is not too little money, but too many railroads and too many farms, as compared with other interests, that ails the country just now, and & demagogic legal patent o retire immediately several hundred miilions of gold from our circulating money, and wait due process of law to fill tie vacuum with silver, as our only lawful money, and to discount our obligations at 30 per cent for the richest people in the world this looks to me like political, financial and business cishonesty. It is the full team which bogus democracy expeets to pull it into power by the farmers’ votg in 18502 without reference to results in the meantime. It does not follow, because the farmer said in unmistakable lanzuage at the polls that an increase in our tanff (which should have been reduced) was a republican blunder, that tic blunder two years in advance cction, which oy ils operations will make them all paupers, will put the blunde ers into power by their votes. If anyone thinks so, let him wait rand sce how the farmers will vote in 1802, with a free silver coinage law that will certainly creage the most colossal panie that ever cursed our country In 157 and *58 “stumptail” state currency was the heritage of Illinois, and my f adopted”wheat us the then best currency, be- cause it would, and aid, pay its debts, while “Sstumptanl” state bank bills would not. We got through the panic of 56 and 58 by the aid of the farmers’ wheat. From the panic of 1801, with silver as our only money, no farmers'’ wheat will deliver and so, for one, 1 expect our senators to get wisdom, by the way of a white house veto, provided the other house does not r lieve the presiden by giving the country un- limited coinage of American silver tender certificates on a gold basis as a com: promise measure instead of £4,500,000 per wonth. Such u measure would bo endorsed by monetary stitutions until the volume of such currency was equal to the demands of commerce, ane such use of silyer, by both bankers and people, demonstrated as benef centby fair trial, 'would probably open the way for an international agrecment for un- limited coinage at rn agreed ratio with gold, which, to my mind, is the only cure for s city of money and periodical monetary panic Scnator dones, in proposing such a method for the litea use of silver, Las become the John the Baptist in monetary scieuce, if such @ result shall follow its unliimited use on the busis as it very likely will. England ds bi-metalism more than Am discussing it now vigorously. She borrowed £4,000,000 of gold from France at 3 per cent wlhien her own rate was 6 pe money squecze. France has mo wold, but was able in the late panic to lend Eogland at one-half her own per cent. Allow me to add that unwritten law may intervene to prevent the realization of our worst fears. Cool-headed bankers know that panics and business failures procceding from monetary changes will react upon_them, and hence ll their skill will be challenged to counteract the bad effects of unwise written law, untilealm public sentiment can repeal it, Congress cannot enact a perl nent em- bargo upon the busiuess interests of a free people. business ts on an easy of the country monetary revoli- into d States —— EDUCATIONAL, Drury college in southwostern Missouri has a property worth §200,000 with a debt of $44,000.
