THE H0NE8T DOLLAR OF
The, Plutocats. What Does it
Mean? Uow Did it Cone?
T0U8TONE, August 27, 1897.
Editor Pkosfector When I v. at iu
Bibe about ten days ao I met an
old fiiemt, a man of more than average
education and intellit;ci.co, nho i
peared to be very much surprised that
I bad bedme a Populitt.auJIo etroue
terms bemoaned the possible tlectku
of W. J. Bryan to the office of presi
dent of the Uaited Stat', and the
coasequent triumph of what becalloJ
populittio heresies, end aid : '! hti-
you will get all you want (uieauiog
the election of Bryan, free coinage,
etc.) and thenjoa will see 4 years of
iuch stagnation, distress and sufftring
that the p op!e will rite up and drive
out Of politics all these modern dem
agogs and cranks with their heresies
and fads." These are not his ex.ot
words, but I think I give bis meaaing
fairly and moderately.
Now, it appears to me that this gen
man, whether from his early training
or from the reading of gold-bug liter
ature, has imbivcd false notion that
no dollar can be honeat except a gold
dollar, or a paper dollar purpoiting to
hae gold behind it to redeem it when
called for and, as it also appears to
me, that this gentleman and other of
bis kiud, are honest In expretasd
couyiotioci, I think it becomes me to
state for their their benefit my views
i this so-called "honest dollar" and
my reasons therefor.
SOME HISTORY.
In 18C1 at the break eut of the war,
cengress by tot authorized the enlist
ment of 90 days volunteers, belietlng
that sufficient to suppress the rebel
lion, and also authorized the treasury
io issue one hundred million dollras
in treasury notes (tome say more some
lesi, but the amount is aot material)
to be a legal tendtr for all demands
public and private. These treasury
notes were never discounted though
there was no gold to redeem thm nor
any expectation of redemption in gold
or silver, and they could not be dis
counted because they were as good as
gold in payment of eustoaas duties,
internal revenue and taxes, and all
men were glad to get them.
About this time all, or nearly all
gold and silver had disappeared from
circulation and been hoarded by the
banks, with the expectation of con
trolling the curreuey and all b'liiuess;
but soon the banks found that their
gold ad silver was lying idle on their
handr, as nobody needed it, treasury
notes being good enough for all other
people. Tbeu it was that the money
ehangsrs of London with their agents
in New York and other cities of Amer
ica seeing that a continuous issue of
these treasury notes would stop their
profits and curtail their power, be
elegtd congress with whttle battalli os
of lobbyist?, male and female, and
rbetber by persuasion or bribery, or
both, I cars not, persuaded that body
that the treasury must have gold to
suppress the rebellion. The old story
"Try wbal you please, but tbete is
nothing like leather." So the next
issue and all issues of treasury notes
contained the joker "excepting duties
on imports and inUrsst on the na
tional debt" from its legal tender
qualities.
This of neoea.JJy cre:Ud a dssssnd
for gold and silver eoia as an import
ers must have it to pay duties and the
treasury must have it to pay interest,
and thereby gave the money changers
the power to reduce the treasury note
to a discount of from 95 to 34 cents
on the dollar as measured in coin.
Thus the treasury had ta issue bonds
payable in coin, and the money chan
gers bought the treasury notes), called
greenbacks) at the discount men
tioned, probsbly averaging 50 ets. on
the dollar, and then got another act
of congress paved by the same means
authorizing the treasury to issue
bonds, dallar for dollar, payable in
coia to redeem these SO cent dollars,
So that by this thimble ring gametbey
got ooe hundred dollars in bonds for
very fifty dollars paid, and oa all
these bonds, except these redeemed,
they have already drawn over thirty
years interest at aa average of 6 to 7
per cent, making nearly two hundred
dwllara ia interest for every fifty dol
lars paid out.
Bat that was not enough, it was
barely enough to what the appetite of
the S.ivlocks, and they again lobbied,'
persuaded and perhaps bribed, andjgot
another lawpsssed allowing tbess to
deposit thee same interest bearing
boads ia the national treasury and to
draw ikertea 9 tor eaeb 4108 f
bonds; the national bank rote to he
lent out to the people at 8 te 18 per
coat per annum, for about thirty
years, an avenge of about 12 per otnl.
per annum, or more than $320 for
for each $50 first paid out. Makiiik
all tcld $&30 In interest paid iu
coin for every f 50 in cein paid out,
and they still have the one Lundred
dollar bond wliioh they want paid in
gold alone, though the bond calls fer
U. S. coin, wbich wa at the date of
the bond goM and ilvcr. And this
was net all the prtGt of the money
changers, for of all the National Bank
notes thus Usu'd and loaned out by the
ban Is a considerable amount, some
my more than one per cent per year,
but at lcut one-half of one per oent.
u burned uf'worn out, rotted or oth
eiwisw destioj ed, aud the banks lave
all the benefit o( this loss, making at
lease fla more on eaeh elVU; a
grand total of 9&J3 at least in in
terest and lds profit on this f 00 tent
to the nation in it's so-called seed.- ,
Again these cormorants were not
sati.fied tor in 1873 they again .lob
bied, and I btlieve bribed, fori eannot
believe that all the members o! both
houses of congress were ignorant ef
the effect "f the law, tbongh a'l except
a few who were on the inside, were
deceived, and got- the law passed de
monetizing silver, thereby depreciat
ing all products ef the people of
Amerioa. which were the only means
of paying the interest on these bonds
and the only hope of finally redeem
ing tham, without issuing more bonds;
and this is the '-honest dollar" that
eur treasury is now paying interest on
in gold alone and issuing more bonds
to get the gold.
New, if weoonsult statistics, we find
that the bended indebtedness of the
U. 3., including states, territores, mu
nicipal and private corporations Is
more than forty billions ef dollars
bearing interest, averaging 5 per cent
or two billions per year; in plainer
wordi", two thousand millions per year
for interest alone.
Now, a, the press nt lira, states, ter
ritories municipalities and railroads
and other corporations are annually
issuiDg more Londs, through inability
to pay tiii great interest oharge, and
even the U. S. in the last three jears
baa '.curd 502 millions of bonds to
pay iu share of that interest between
40 and 50 millions annually.
Now, Mr.MHoaest Dollar" man, with
wheat at 50 cts., oats and corn at 5 to
10, and cotton 5 to 7 cents, and all
othsr products of the industry and en
ergy ol seventy millions of people at a
corresponding price, when will we sue
ceed in paying this debt? How loDg
will we be able to pay the inUrtst
without.iuuing more bonds, orimpoi
ing excessive taxes on a people already
tax ridden?
The bond holder can answei these
questions thus: He don't waa t these
bonds paid. Ha ast wants the Inter
est, no more, and it we can't pay when
any set of bonds become due be only
wants a refunding act issue new
bondr so that he and bis childrsn
and children' children can keep you,
your children and children's childrsn
in industrial slavery for untold gensr")
ations. So that thsy and theirs may
live in royal state on the sweat of yeur
brow and that of your descendants.
Friend, -'Honest Dollar" man, do
you want IhisT Are you one of those
fcho, being well to do. say the present
system will last for nsy life and after
me let the deluge come?
' Respectfolly,
Jamxj Skilly.

A Report of the Robbers Beiatr
ia the Dragoons.
The Star has an account of several
suspicious characters smsrgiog from
the Dragoons and takes the circum
stance to be a suspicion that they are
the Nogales bank robbers. From last
accounts of the pursuit it is not pos
sible that these are the robbers and
the account may mislead many.
Following is thu item :
P. B. Yates, of the Wells Fargo who
came iu yesterday from the east, says
that day before yesterday four or five
mounted stranger cams out ol the
Dragoon mountains on the north side.
There is a suspicion that they are the
Nogales bank robbers and there is
some apprehension that an attempt
will be made ou a railroad train. The
read through that part of the country
offers greater faeifitlra to train robbers
than any ether seolien along the Hue
the only disadvantage being that it
would have to be a daylight ro'.bsry.
The Nogales rubbers are supposed
to have gone into Mexico and the
sheriff's posses tailored in that direc
tion. The country toward which the pur
suers were headd is so remote from
telegraph or mail stations that it is
not thought a messenger would have
been sent back until ths robbers were
taken or the pursuit abandoned.
Last biht the soldier boys had
possession of the town. They bad re
ceived their pay at Fort Huaehuca
juat tefore leaving on their homeward
trip to Fort Graut, and most of it was
put ia circulation in Tombstone. Ol
the 75 men in both companies, nearly
half were most beautifully jagged.
This morning however all were on
band when the bugte sounded for
their onward march, but it was plain
that many in the ranks thought
''things are not what they seem" wear
ing a dejected look and making
numerous assaults ea their water can
teens. Tbey go from here to Dragoon
camping there tonight.
The boney crop so far reported
through our railroad companies is
simply enormous. The M.A P. re
pot la fifteen carload?, and the S. F. P.
A P. six oars," 'amounting in , rounds
figures, estimating 27,000 pounds te
the ear, to f67,000 pound. In the
course of a few years this industry, in
this valley, will crawl up to colossal
proportions. Pbeaix HearlJ.

There is
a full money's-worth in every
package of Schilling's Best
tea; but the little book in the
package is worth even mora
to you if you do not know
how to make lea exactly right.
The difference between tea
made exactly right and not
made exactly right is greater
than we dare to say you
wouldn't believe it.
We will send the book to
you (free) if you ask for it;
but you'd better have the tea
too quick grocers sell it
(money-back tea).
Schilling's Set coffee, soda, baking
powder, spices, and flavoring extracts
