Ftum lle N. 2. Dailr Adusrtiser.


nlaRy deem and CUTE and f make you understand
H. then Won may be sartn don't understand II myself
and If that is se case Il wont be the FIRST time that
man has undertaken 10 explain thing that ne makes
darker THAN il was afOre. But tn try q, and u You
don't SEQ IT, I'LL take my share OF the fau'i ~ explain"
ont, and you must take tother share, and that Will De
about right.
Well now to begin--you know that good deal has
been said OF Iaie about paper money and hard money
and some folks aboat the Government are trying 10
make il out that the GneyoL is gOin to make all the
money 10 the country hard money! andi 81 r'd OF al
paper money.
If folks don't look well into this matter, and UNDER
stand what the ont is, 80 out Of 100 on em w
get puzzled moet slockin, aud g 80 much dns thrown
in their eyes, that i might take considerable work
10 explain and git naters right agini and am goIn
nOwto give my notions RtD1UE IL and then let every
man take his course, aud if things git crooked
cant hepit want to see things "slrai', aHd that's
the reason write yer ths letter.
II this country sHlni country, like nm island,
where man could eat his breakfast one side oDt
and walk across tie other side to his supper,
then perhapsir wosrdR he much out Of the way to
have all the money in il gold and silver. But seem
that il is somehin OF cOnsiierable Of country, and
man has eat good many breakfas and suppers
aore he gifts from side ont to the Oiher then my
notion is that IL necessary toiook ont aud see we
can gi, money from pint TO the other lee.le
easier than carrying ont in hard muney-now lei ns
suppose there warnt bank note in the country, and
all the money was hard money, aud suppose you wan
ted 10 buy 100 bales Of cooa in Tennessee-well 100
bales of cotton would cost about four thousand dollars
nigh kalkate; and oOr oars in silver
ffs nsuney i'm The cheapest way tom New-York to
Tennessee? A horse cant very well carry H. ami 50
the only way is 10 hire wnggon--wef now you have
got 10 Tennessee, and after you have bought the cot
ION, the man you bought il of wants 70 buy goods with
the money at the place where the goods are cheapest,
and ten 10 one he inds New-York is thai place and
so back he sends these dollars agin to New-YOk 10
buy goods. 80
Well, the next time you want 10 buy cotton, you'll
begin To figure how you can Save this expense and
risk 81 sendin dollars, aud You'll find out that folks IN
olin in York
st mach yon want EN- IN Tennessee ior neir cot
ION; and if you put your dollars IN good sale
I'm, them are dollars shall he delivered up when that
are resale is presented, then all you have got 10 do e
cvry that resate with you, send in letter, and
accordn 70 The safety and security and good character
safe for EN-, list will pass from hand 20 hand and
be s good the dollars, an! iestle better, be.
cause il is easier carried about than the dollars ana
at less expense aud il the nature of our people TO
do oil kinda Of business at the least expense possibe
and lhns the reason why they 60 ahead OF all the rest
Of creation. -
is as trne as Daiur, then folks would make banks
right of, without law, and without Known ont, for
every bit of hard money would 60 right into the hands
OF folks known 10 be rich and secure, and honest or
supposed he so, and their resates for IL would be
handed about jist rs hank bills are now, promsin to
spay The bearer on demand, and 80 we should have
as many on we have Bank bills now.
Our folks IN Cong and in Legislatures snw this
a long spell ago. and they from the very natos Of
things that. business all aboatthe coua,ry would go
right into that channel and nothing could help it, and
,ey right work plan things that the peo
pie should not be deceived in takng these resates for
be plagy bard Tor mar to git one in pay for his
goods, and when he Cal for the money, 10 git an an
swef sayin the marchahi or Broker could NOT pay IT,
andlhal he was broke alto bits and 50 forth. And SO
the Legislatures Of the States turned 70 and made
ns che; = they .6 TGs to op
and 70 issue their bills 10 save the people the expense
of carrying the, hard money about. And as these
sT R had great eaia ey were "o% esr 70 lend
ney and 70 take The peoples noles so as 20 allow ac-
rive industrious folks to work along and git ahead in the
world; well this was found SIGH profitable business,
the State legislatures were overrun with applications
t,r Bank elarlers aud 10 little while there
banks than hard dollars, and il got that the
people warnt sale ~ ,akin aay o. The bills there
mp, and the constitution gives Congress the right TO
"regulate the currency Of the country" WCongress
had said right off that all these baok notes warnt mo-
Dey, and nothing but hard money money, there
would ben trouble enufas bad freein the niggers
right off but they hooked ONT evil 10 be cured
i' like The bic Of Frost and that was " pnttin iros
10 go.to work and clear out this trash The Bank Of
the United States went to work, and arier scll il
otihings gon pre,y slick. soon as one o. these
than had power 10 pay when the people brought
hack-aad that Is the naur Of Banks with small cap
itas--he U. .. Bank would by havn lie branches all
about ookn arier this trick pick up these bills from
the people, and make the Stale Banks pay EN-. and il
they didn't, then they would burst their hier This
was 10 be pretty dirty Job for the United States
Bank do, aud they got Bit ry often; hut its
duy by law, for the law said The U. S. Bank must reg
ulata the currency.
The State Banks got into pesky had hamor ahou,
itespcciay those tina, had capital, and who
ted 10 make money out of the people by sen,n out
their bills that they could pay when called on, and
50 they all gotio work pcken al the U. s. Bank, and
called monster, and forth; and then the polite
cans so 10 work, and that's the Of them too,
get hold Of any Thing to give boost, and MIR. Van
Buren, nj the head en oil cryin agin the u y.
Bank, for they see that Bank conld stand no
chance agil 20 many State Banks-First they said the
U. - Bank warn: safe, and got committees appinied
70 examine into ~ aud when turned out it lee
e safer than they said was and all the rest or tile
Banks put together, then they changed tune and
got to cryin out that nohn hut hard money was the
right Kind Of s!uf-ihinkin that good many people /
would agree with en- on this pint, and suppose they
will-bn what Is the naiur on'ta You see il we ri,
hack 10 hard money olks will go right TO sesases aRn
Jest as have been teilin, and Congress will have 10
90 something to correctit, and regulate IL and make
~ safe for the people.
