HOPE FOR SILVER
Regardless of what effect the Reconstruction fin
ance Corporation may have upon present economic con
ditions, at best it will be but a stop-gap.
The plight of the nation is due to an overstepping o
the bounds of prudence in the utilization of credit, both m
supposedly legitimate lines and in speculation.
Thus the Reconstruction Finance Corporation is
merely a stretching of the credit. Y> hen something is
stretched and the tension is relaxed it rebounds.
It is in the rebound that one may expect the reper
cussion. On the preparation made for meeting it will de
pend whether we have struggled deeper into the mire or
got our feet upon a firm foundation.
Throughout ail considerations and discussions of
discussions of stabilization measures, one finds the his
toric words of William J. Bryan echoing above economic
thesis: “Crucified upon a cross of gold.”
Mr. Bryan might have overdrawn the picture at In
dianapolis when ne launched upon the battle to keep sil
ver as a subsidiary coin metal, but time has served to
prove that there was much merit in his arraignment of
the gold standard, in the years which have passed since
1806 marked contraction has been shown in the coin cir
culation and a steady entrenchment of gold to the exclu
sion of all other metals. This entrenchment and inelasti
city of circulating coinage has not been the result of pop
ular ehoce. Rather it has been the result of small groups
of international bankers, who have usurped the shoes of
Jay Gould and associates who once practically cornered
the American gold supply, and wrested tribute from the
nation through its power. Banks crashed along with in
dustry and business, and all that a few selfish men who
had amassed their first fortune by dishonorable means,
might further entrench themselves into what is now the
great money pow or dominating the nation. "
The entire matter is one of simple economics: When
a thing becomes so costly that it is not permitted of gen
eral use, it has no value save to the chosen few. This is the
position of gold: it’s too costly for four-fifths of the world.
There is hope that the matter may be solved at rhe
international monetary conference to be held in London
this winter. At this conference will be some of the most
•earned economists of the world, backed by some of the
greatest statesmen of all nations. They will offer a plea
to remonetize silver on a rational basis and thus open
oriental markets with their 700,000,000 odd population to
world trade.
Leading the battle for the United States will be Sen
ator Key Pittman of Nevada and Senator King of Utah,
backed by a strong sentiment throughout the nation.
It is needless to tiy and deceive rational beings that
temporary inflation of industry by capital and the pro
duction of goods will meet the national problem. The peo
ple must have something with which to buy and a greater
elasticity m the currency standard, even to a controlled
currency.
A mere change in administration is not sufficienl
With the change should come a complete reshuffle of th
national cards and a return to time-honored standards.

Honolulu, has a gay time, surrenders, is fined $5,000 and

Judged by similar announcements of stalwarts deserting

Through a recent issue of his J t(
personal organ, Mr. William Paul 11]
! has broadcast a personal attack ! e
! upon the undersigned in an article j t:
I packed with falsehoods so silly that j
i they are self-destructive; but he j ^
submits to me a series of nine I
I questions, which he demands that j
I answer. It gives me pleasure to f,
! accede to his request. After stating
I each question in the form he puts -
I it, my answer follows:
l Q— 1. “Why did he (Rustgard) de- (l
I fend the fish trust on the tax bill?”
A—The assertion that I appeared
i before the Legislature for or
; against any tax on traps is utterly
false. I have never appeared before !
; the Legislature except to answer j
; legal questions submitted. I did
! state, that in my opinion the $250 jj
! on non-resident trollers was so I j|
high as to make its enforcement 1!i
difficult. U
Q—2. “Why he opposed the John- ! i

n resolution?”
A—This refers to a resolution re
aring the Attorney General to
art suits to enjoin operation of
sh traps. I told Johnson that fish
aps were at present legal, having
?en expressly approved by Con
*ess in making regulations for
Dening and closing traps, etc., as
ell as by the Legislature in levy
lg a tax on, and issuing licenses
>r operating traps.
Only a man devoid of moral
mse would, as soon as he had col
icted a tax and issued a permit
)r operating a trap, undertake

re theory that he had no right to

ie tax
Q—3. “Why P. E. Harris endorsed

idgeship upon me. I did not ask
