The issue between the friends of sound money and the believers in 50 cent dollars is at bottom a question whether oheap goods or high prioes are best for the whole country. Until the people understand that their iuterests will be best served by a gradual reduction in the cost of all kinds of conimodities plans for getting rich by payiug more for goods will be advocated and seriously considered. There is no doubt but that an artificial increase of pricew would benefit some persons. But the people as a whole would be injured, and the principie of the greatest good to the greatest number forbids the granting of fa-vors to one class at the expense of all otbers.
