CHAPTER II.
Being now promoted 10 the pocket Of
| the gentleman from the Metropolis OF the
county. we soon reached our place OF DIES.
tination we were slightly delayed BY
stopping every man TO talk politics with,
but rs there were not many who felt much
interested in the subject "e were not long
delayed by this cause.
The county seat Of w. county We will
call Mobile. No insult offered to the city
of that name in Alabama. This town
contains Il population "f four or Eve huns
dred souls. and in some respects. is the
most remarkable town in the, S ate. l
have learned all the facts which shall
narrate from an old Copper Cent. which

Mobile aud the competition runs so high
that the merchants ~ill sell their goods TO

their sales they take notes after allowing
their debts 70 stand reasonable length

Latin word tucGs is so called; for the pa
per is never cashed. But there is one
advantage in this kind OF currency. il
won't leave the country. II is like the
money which was coined in accordance
with Senator hunters I" Specie Bill
some years ago. il is worth more at home
than abroad II also does away With the
necessity for Protective Tariff for no
matter how much the. people oOer trade,
their money will mot be drained from
them. ,ti ...s.t ,...i .,;.t-s...-..

Why. in this way q A man sells u farm.

when his money is gone he goesto Bank,
and when he wants thatsin cash paper. he
goes 10 Bank again. a. But" says some
