Show Silver SHyer By By ByL L L. A. A Hollenbeck Silver seems to be coming back I It was demonetized in 1873 1878 and was defeated with Bryan in 1896 and finally became a forgotten issue The result was that the silver silver silver sil sil- ver mines closed down and everything everything everything every every- thing in the money line was based upon gold It has been growing worse late years because India I and other nations have adopted 1 r the gold standard I The agitation in congress has I I been very acute and determined for the recognition of silver silver silver- either by or by a policy of extensive government and a bill is already about to be passed authorizing the I government to accept silver from fromm foreign governments on debts which permits foreign governments governments govern- govern I ments menns to pay debts on a depreciated j 1 1 J ed currency It seems also that that that the recognizing of silver sil is approved approved approved ap ap- proved by Ramsay Mac Donald premier of Great Britain and also by M. M Herriott the envoy from France So the situation is looking lookIng look- look Ing very rosy for silver which is isa isa isa i a currency inflation But that is I not the only inflation scheme before before before be be- fore congress and the President Is about t have the authority to issue greenbacks to the extent of three billion dollars if the banks banks' do not come through and expand tl the e credit of the country in a way that is about to be provided These matters in connection With with the plan now being agreed I upon to regulate the tariffs and the tho foreign exchange are being approved in purpose and seem to touch a responsive chord of all the nations including Canada As the writer has said many times that no nation can prosper by shutting off or ruining foreign trade Prosperity is a matter of business Business freely flowing will make any people prosper but business restricted in the Interest of greedy purposes will ruin any country This does not imply that we must not have a tariff but a reciprocity tariff as advocated by Jim Blaine Elaine 40 years or more ago is a proper policy That is wise regulation It is only unwise and I avaricious regulation that destroys destroys destroys des des- troys business And when you destroy business then the country I goes oes to the devil It seems that alot a alot alot lot of f these wise things are arc all I coming together this time A Ai I multiplicity of them In the effort to bring back good times implies that there will be a mistake or two but we have no fears of an honest mistake for that can be I remedied but an avaricious purposeful purposeful purposeful pur pur- mis mistake is hard to reme reme- r dy I |
