Mr.. OWEN said he was glad we should now
have something like order With regard TO
the plan OF having men claim all the public
lands as his, he was for paying for these lands.
as inns was the least part of the outlay for these
new socleles-altho some want these lands
without money and without price. As TO the
Government making circulating medium. he
objected; for it would lead back TO the DAYS of
HE assignats in France, and oppression by
the Government! No! the circulating medium
should be supplied by these sclfsupportcd
Commemorative societies oil ours; we shall have
honest labor notes to be circulated: the notes
lssucl shall bc precisely equal To- the surplus
wealth which the community has to distribute
and thus the notes and wealth will precisely
equal and balance each other at the end of the
year As to Mr.. Ryckman's rules for debtors
we sliah have no debtors in the new world
Applause Ii is not want of wealth that

And The only bad times known i'm Europ,
since then, has been when the barns and tha
