GENERAL wAsHINGToN's OPINION.

| To THOMAs SToNE-
Dear Sir-Your favor Of the 3Oth ult. came duly
| 10 hand. To give an opinion IN case OF 50 much
importance as that which has warmly agltated the
two branches Of your legislature, and which from the
appeal that is made, is likely 10 create great and
! perhaps dangerous divisions, is rather a delicate
matter but as this diversity Of opinion IS on a sub
ecl which has, believe, occupied the minds of most
men, aud as my sentiments thereon have been fairly
and decidedly expressed, long before the Assembly,
either Of Maryland or Of this State was convened
do moi scrupe to declare that, if | had voice in
your legislature Il would have been given DECl-
DEDLY AGAINST A PAPER EMISSION, up
on the general principles OF its nutIity as a repre-
sentative, and the necessity of il as a medium.
To assign reasons for this opinion, would be as
unnecessary as tedious. The ground has been so
often trod that hardlya place remains untouched, in
word, The necessity aristHS from the rant Of spe-
cie srepresentcda as greater than rcaly IS. CON
TEND THAT TITS BY THE SUBSTANCE
AND NOT BY THE SHADOW OF A THING,
THAT WE ARE BENEFITED The wis
dom of man, in my humble opinion, cannot at this
time, devise plan by which the c,edt OF paper
would be long supported consequently DEPRE-
CIATION KEEPS PACE WITH THE GUAM
TITY OF TUE EMISSION, AND THE ARTI-
CLES FOR WHICH IT Is EXCHANGED,
RISE IN A GREATER RATIO THAN THE
SINKING VALUE OF THE MONEY
WHEREIN THEN, Is THE FARMER, TIE
PLANTER, THE ARTIZAN BENEFITED!
The debtor may be, because, as have observed, he
gives the shadow instead olthe substance and, in
proportion to his gain the creditor or the body poll
tic suffers Whctherit be legal tender or not, it
viii as has been observed truly, have no alternative,
Il must b. that or nothing An evil equally great
is THE DOOR IT IMMEDIATELY OPENS |
FOR SPECULATION, BY WHICH THEl
LEAST DESlNGlNG, AND PERHAPS MOST |
VALUABLE PART OF THE COMMUNITY
Is PREiED UPON BY THE MORE KNOW |
ING AND CRAFTY SPECTATORS.
But contrary to my intentions and declarations
am offering reasons in support Of my opnion-rea-
sons too, which, ofa others, are least pleasing to
the advocates of paper money. | shall therefore,
only observe, generally, that SO many people have
suffered by the former emissions, that like burnt
child who breads the fire, no Ipcrson will touch it
who Cal possibly avoid 1.-THE natural consequence
of which will he, thar Tic specie which remains UNI
exported, will be licked up.
With great esteem and regard,
am, dear sir. &c.

cine when in health; but let none mistake. The
markisl bitter taste and husky throat In the NOR
ming the coated tongue, the morning headache,

on the contrary tell ola quick coming fever unless
the foundation is removed. And while it is

THE PLANTER.
Tuesday, October 23, 1888

We are glad to see, even at this late
day, our state banks eyincing adisposition
to resume the specie payment of their
notes. The LIST of January is spoken of;
they were the first to decline and will be
the last to resume. Our bank advocates
in this part tell us that it is the fault of
the governmental government-the
specie circular--the whole blame is to be
thrown on the government; but does not
(the federaD the same government
exist here that existed in Louisiana, in
New York, and other places, where they
have good money. In these places they
have no "U. S. Bank to regulate the cur
rency," yet it is good. The cause of our
rotten system must be found at home-in
bad management and over issues: this is
seen and felt. Truly has the Gallatin
Star said: "a strong and just spirit of OPP
position is every day manifesting itself to
the shameful abuses ofourpresent wretch
cd banking system"
