DEAR TRIBUNE: Are you willing sometimes
n hear from your provincial readersi Many thanks,
then for your Currency articles. They to the root
Of all our financial expressions. The demands Of the
Government in the form Of direct taxes are light bur
cens compared the demands Of the nerciess specu'
lators, whose vital air is redundant Currency. They
beg for mole time Time for what To shorten sail in
view of comm. storm ITO get of their heavy stocks
al reasonable ratosi o. no. They want time to add a
few more hundred thousands to their already immense
wealth. drawn from the blood and marrow Of labor and
poverty. Go on dear TRIBUNE, and hold up as hereto
fore 10 the gaze of the thinking the patriotic and hu
name the evils Of redundant Currency. The financial
history Of every oge and country since the invention %
paper money demonstrates the truth OF your docuine
that boaed Currency is the chief oanse Of me present
intOlorable cIactons from labor ana OF Tue tieAehcu
commercial ruin OF the country.
