Development of Sound Money
(Wallace (Idaho) Press-Times
Although at different times
in the world’s history nearly
all the metals have been used
as money by one people or an
other, the two precious metals,
gold and silver, have been em
ployed to a far greater extent
than any of the others. The
Chinese at one time used cop
per and iron. The ancient Spar
tans hammered coins out of
iron and the ancient Romans
copper. Lead has appeared as
coinage at times and early Brit
ish kings had coins made out
of tin. Nickel and aluminum
also are used. Gold and silvei
were adopted for coinage by
the United States in 1792 and
by France in 1803. The goh
standard was established by
England in 1816 and since that
time, one by one, it has been
adopted legally in most of the
nations of the civilized world.
History has furnished many
examples of financial depress
ion and economic disasters due
to the failure of governments
and peoples to maintain sound
money standards. The present
disparity in value between
gold and silver unqestionably
has been due to the fact that
governments adhering to the
gold standard have not sup
ported silver by making it ex
changeable with gold at some
reasonable ratio of value, and
also due to the debasement ot
their money systems through
the unlimited issue of papei
currency without having be
hind such currency the solic
foundation of adequate re
serves of either gold or silver
P. A. O’Farrell, Montreal
Canada, independent writer, ir
his address Monday on “Mon
ey and Metals” at a luncheon
-of the Northwest,Mining Asso
ciation in Spokane, said: “Give
back to thp peoples of Asia.
Latin America, Canada and
the United States their silver
money” and “all of the pros
pectors of the world would be
going out to find gold and sil
i ver” and above all, “it will
bring back prosperity.” We
have paraphrased Mr. O’Far
rell’s remarks, but we believe
I this accurately conveys his
idea. And we have no less au
thority than Francis H. Sisson
of the Guaranty Trust com
pany, New York, for the state
ment made in 1925 in the
American Bankers’ Association
Journal: “Unless silver is sup
! ported by being made ex
| changeable with gold there is
; oon apt to be a growing dis
j parity in value.” And this
tatement was made at a time
when no one anticipated such
r discouraging situation as we
have today.
If our people want sound
noney and a stabilized purch
asing medium throughout the
world, they will set the exam
ple for other peoples of l|ie
’ world by demanding remoni
ization of silver.
What We Need
There are many things we
need in Hyder, but a few are
vital and outstanding above all
; others.
We need stability— the will
power to determine what is
right and a determination to
;ee that only that which is
right prevails.
We need a spirit of unanimi
; y—the ability and willingness
:o agree upon what we want
and then go after it and get it.
We need aggressiveness—
| tor without aggressiveness, in
: iolence and stagnation will be
j >ur lot.
We need loyalty—for with
>ut loyalty we will be enrich
ng commercial interests at
distant points and impoverish
ing our people at home.
Some communities thrive and
grow because of their natural
advantages. Others are made
