JAcKsoN's CURRENcY PoL1cY Col Ben
ton has written a long letter on the currency.
in the course of which he repeats the five
distinct measures proposed by Gen Jackson,
in relation to the currency, as follows;
l. To revive the gold currency, by correct
ing the erroneous standard of 1871.
2. To create demand for hard money by
making it the exclusive currency of the Fed
eral Treasury.
3. To make sure of this hard money by
keeping it in its own treasures.
These three reforms have been accom-
plished and Col. Benton urges the remainder
a. To suppress all paper currency under
$50 by stamp duty
5. To wind up all defauting banks by a
bankrupt law against dolinquents.

standing on the threshold of life, buoyant in
hope and untred energy, don't drink Your
