7, order to make his paper more ae-
osn,ab,e TO the public the Gazette has
.ommeuced publishing the opinions OF
il. sup errors at the head Of its columns
The idea will strike it's readers at once
As being eminently sound and aa'isao'e'
It's an improvement whereby lis patrons
will get the worth of their money
This is homeland We hope the prac-
,ice will be sustained. But while ouI
ue,ghbor Is in the business would II not
be well once in a while TO publish tho
opinion OF gres. men Of It's own party
for instance those Of Lincoln and M
woois We would sngges. an extract 81

Tie readers Of the Gazette Who have
watched kirkwood's course for the pat
tseive mouths w.ll 10 astoHished to fiud
such language attributed TO BIS Excel
lency and, indeed, they may question
the veracity Of their i" family Journal
but in that case the Gazette can refer
them to the documents.
Let the Gazette give the people some
Information.
lHE proposition oil the Committee on
Ways and Means TO issue an enormous
additional amount OF legal tender circu-
iatlng notes, seems 10 us as exceedingly
short-sighted. The result would be
such flood Of these notes that they
would become drug, aud their dcpre.
CATION would initiate prices TO such an
extent that the government and the peo-
pc would be burdened beyond eudul-
anee, aud to general bankruptcy. We
should profit by the disastrous expert
iment OF the reiel c uiederacy in this
wildcat plan aof finance Chicago
Journal.
How can this be possible? we have
been told all the while by the abolition
sheets that Treasury Notes represent
the true standard Of value, aud that the
fright upwards Of gold was merely the
result OF the spirit of speculation. The
Gazette has long been fooling away It's
time trying 10 convince its readers that
legal tender notes constituted the true
basis, and that specie was all humbug.
The Committee on Ways and Means, il
would seen, had the same option Of
the matter that the abolition sheets have
been endcavoring to indicate. They
thought it best to flood the country with
new batch OF legal tender TIA amount
ing to some three or four hundred MI
lions, drawing no interest whatever, and
never redeemable in specie. Secretary
Chase had the sense TO see that this
game had played out that the more
OF the trash there was put ont the low
er 1t would tall in the scale, and the
higher would gold 60 up. Hence we
see that he makes the new batch shade
