and which was again paid out to the people by
the Treasury
.. The Independent Treasury Act, which re-

and thence exported to Europe
9. lhe democratic opposition to small notes,
whereby the amount of these notes in crcula-
tion mas been greatly diminished, and their place
niled by hard money. N. b. One half of the

less they refuse to touch such trash.
%. The dimfnution Of the quantity of gold and
siiser melted up for plate and jewery, since "a
per money has lost credit, and ro,d and silyar

~. The quantity 81 plate sent TO the minis to
De coined INTO money, since the cessation Of the
luxury and extravaganza which grew ont ofthc
folly and crimes of the paper system,

democracy shall be successful in the State and
federal elections; for the increase dates from the
accession of democracy to power, and will cease

democracy. which have co-operated with them.
