The Karate Afnicnn, in the wilda of
his natirf home, takes a few sticks and
home cloth, and out of these rude ma-
terials makes an idol which he calls
Mumbo Jumbo, and before which he
falls prostrate, in devout worship.
Whereat we civilized fools all laugh
at said African, and call him a barba-
rian,—as, indeed he is.
Nevertheless, it Is Quite apparent
that whilo we tuako no gods out of
sticks and calico, we worship Mumbo
Jumbos, of our own make, just the
same.
Take for instance the "Gold Re-
serve ' Nature did not produce It: U
has no life, no motion, other than that
which we lunatics give it.
One day it occurred to old John
Shertnan that it would be a (food
scheme to stack lip, in the treasury ,<a
cool one hundred million dollars in
gold, anil keep it there, idle.
Acting upon this idea, he straight-
way created tho fund known a* ^he
gold reserve.
Any law for this?
No.
Any necessity for it?
No.
Any popular demand fof it?
No.
Ilia excuse was that he wanted a
gold reserve out of which he could pay
off the $34ft,0OO,OOO in greenbacks when
presented for redemption.
Was any body clamoring for the re-
demption of greenbacks?
No.
Was there any law under w hich any-
body had a right to go to the treasury
and demand gold for greenabeks?
No.
Was there any enstom or policy
which authorised this setting apart of
gold to redeem greenbacks?
No.
Hut Sherman did it, juat the aame,
and it soon appeared that he had made
as a Mumbo Jumbo whieh we all wor-
shiped, and before wbeae mvwterione
power we feO prostrate.
As I on J aa Sherman was aecretarr
of tha tj-ea#Brr the geia rraerve vft*

awe. The President did it reveranee.

if they bnt had conrape and co-opera
tinn patiently padded their knees,
and likewise knelt In mute snbmlsfion
to the yellow god which John Sherman
had condescended to make for them.
When Hherman went ont and other
secretaries came In, the sT>eIl was al-
ready upon the pnbllc, and Mumbo
Jumbo reigned by the omnipotent titlo
of universal consent.
The gold reserve was a national in-
stitution—like Washington monument.
It was not to be desecrated. It was
to be recognized, supported, defended.-
Senators in their speeches alluded to
it as they wonld to Plymouth Rock or
Mount Vernon. It was a fixed fact
which nobody disputed and all re-
spected.
Congressmen referred to It aa they
would to Arlington or Hanker Hill.
It was, In their eyes, consecrated.
Statutes referred to It, in passing, aa
they would to AVest Point or Yallovf*
stone park, aomethlng that waa per*
manoBt, national, and inseparable
from the life of the republic.
There nevar waa a law for the gnld
reserve, there never was a necessity
for it, there never was any antecedent
discussion in regard to it, and there
never was a particle of financial sense
in it.
O Nobody ever presented greenbacks
for redemption until Mr, Carlisle made
his famous ruling, under which gold is
paid ont for paper money, and bonds
issued to get the gold back again.
The gold reserve was absolutely use-
less nntil it became, under Carlisle's
mling, a bait to aet tha boad trap
with.
To show that it has no In finance
opon the value of the greenbacks we
need only to point to the fact that al-
though the aire of the gold reserve has
constantly fluctuated for abont a year,
the value of the greenback has not
varied at all.
If the greenbacks depend on the gold
reserve, their value wonld riae and fall
with the gold reservec
The greenbacks no not, and never
did, depend on the gold reserve They
depend on the government, and the
known fact that the credit of the
government Is based on *70,000,0 )0,000.

We shirer and we groan when we
rrad that "the treasury has lost $4,000,-
