Little Statesman

J. Schulte Francis

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. One of these vital questions, and the one which presents itself just now for immediate solution, is that of Money. The attitude of the two leading parties on this subject furnishes a most glaring instance of political dishonesty. In spite of the efforts of the politicians, however, the money question will not down, and that phase of it which appeals most strongly at this time to the people is the proposition to again open the mints to the free coinage of silver. Money is the public credit, stamped or imprinted upon, or represented by, metal, paper, or any other convenient substance recognized by law or usage, and employed as a medium of ex change and a measure of values. Money is money only so long and in so far as it represents the public credit. Moses, as well as the early fathers of the Christian Church, undoubtedly adopted this view of money when they denounced usury, which is the de vice whereby the drones in humanity's bee-hive, monopolizing the public credit, have in all ages exacted tribute from the workers.
