mcnt aud People share the same fate and usa Tho
same money and tIiat the Government perform is
duty otrtudcring the money, the currency oil tho
People, sound aud good.
It's this e,lublns which desire; not that Govern
ment should take bad money but that 1t should take
such proper measures that there may he no bah
money II take ! That the People first. ana
then tho Government. may have and receive gooa
money. This can oily be done by regulating the
currency. It cannot be done by continuing wild
warfare against the credit, the currency. the money
of the People, This has been dane--il Is tho duty
