VICTIMS OF CHEAP MONEY. MacanU)’i I>»««-rlpt lon of Tho»« Who Nafftrtd l> j Cllppod Oln*. Free coinage at 16 to 1 la equivalent to clipping from 45 to 50 cents from the present dollar. It would give us a debased dollar of varying value. The world baa had experience with clipped coins. Poorly minted coins during Queen Elizabeth's time made It easy to clip them.

The evil was felt dally and hourly in almost every place and by almost every class, in the dairy and on the thrashing floor, by the anvil and by the loom, on the billows of the ocean and In the depths of the mine. \ Nothing could be purchased without a dispute. Over every counter there was wrangling from morning to night. The workman and his employer had a 1 quarrel as regularly as the Saturday came round.

Even men of business ' were often bewildered by the confu sion Into which all pecuniary transac tions were thrown. The simple and the careless were pillaged without mercy by extortioners, whose demands grew even more rapidly than the money shrank. The price of the necessaries of life, of shoes, of ale. of oatmeal, rose fast. The laborer found that the bit of metal which, when he received It, was called a shilling would hardly, when be wanted to purchase a pot of beer or a loaf of rye bread, go as far os six pence. Where artisans of more than usual intelligence were collected In great numbers, as In the dockyards at Chatham, they were able to make their complaints heard and to obtain some redress. But the ignorant and helpless peasant was cruelly ground between one class which would give money only by tale and another which would take it only by weight.—" Macaulay’s His tory of England.”
