Taxes In Gold and Silver.
ALPH0NSo HART.
JAS. w. SohERvILLE.

1Hte Cincinnati Commercial has written
an able article, advocating the payment oil
taSes in gold and silver. In aluding 10
this, The Newark Advocate says:
"Such step may all be we'll enough af.
ter :while; but go long as the State, by the
creation of paper money, drives coin out of
clrcolaI7on and puts rags into the hands of
the people, law requiring the public to
pay thefr taxes in gold and silver, would be
unlikely to met very hearty ucquescence.
a better plan would be to confne the re.
celPt Of paper money to the notes of Ohio
banks, and to resire their prompt conysr.
sloti by the Tseasursr Into Did and silver.
This plan was carried successfully into ei.
feet FOR six years by ne Treasurer of c..
iumbiaHa county, in this State, and me, the
hearty approval of the public in general"
The Adrocate is right. The Legislature
by an enactment has brought these banks
and this paper money into existence. The
bills have been sown broadcast over the
country as money; the tar payers hare re.
;eived them as such. Now having called il
iito fife, It would be most unjust in the
State to compel the taxpayers to bear loss
lPon every dollar they hdy Hold. Under |
hese circumstances the gold should come
rom the banks, and not from the people,
rhe establishment OF tEe banks and their
Exemption from taxation was swindle I'D. |
N the public, and it would be an outrageous
raud in the government to give sanction
nd circulation to notes, ard then when they
re in the hands of all the farmers and mo.
hanics, refuse to receive them in payment
{ debts or taxes.
