OBJ. lie Chamber Of Commerce, City If Nashville:
2 have the honor 10 suggest that some ac-
as, Doe promptly taken by you LOOKING 20
IN. rr51lpt suppression Of the large amount
.-.-tsI or fractional currency now IA cir
rt5u ia this city.
There are quite number Of merchants and
.F.rkecuers ia this city, who are IN the
....fnugl habit Of declaring that they
.T5 "a anon have a counterfeit as a genu-
...,,.stal currency note, that there Is 50
--,.t7 of IL IN circulation that Is impossible
g.-them 10 tell the counterfeit from the
Tie practice has become an evil which
..-sr h.. remedied. Would not 1t be well
fhe Cham Der of Commerce torecommend
r.tbe merchants and business men Of the
city q, unite iu the at empt 10 drive THIS
.u.Trlaus issue from circulation.
The National Banks here can ana VIII
Furnish ali the postal and fractional cur
-..ev demanded. The notes furnished by
tte BANKS would not only be genuine, but
-...IB moi be bedimmcd and mutIlated as Is
most of the circulation.
Tine wisdom Of the chamber viii perhaps
-..+Tre better plan for the accomplish
-..ut of the plan than i have suggested.
r.. r1atter is before the Grand Jury now IL
...-.1u. and prosecutions may be common
..Ia-siust a number Of parties, who are
,s-Hags. without any felonious intent, lend
rai In increasing the volume OF this
SPURIOUS stuff.
... NOT my desire TO bring these prosecu-
..-. errfpt where the accused appears TO
b. .n-ryed in the business OF circulating
-rterreits. Many persons here are, how
over. guilty Of violation OF the act OF Con
--..4 Uroviding for such offences.
ia also shown that ia addition TO hav-
Ind. ..uuterfeits in their possession they
nave declared as many Of our citizens have,
arat fbev would as soon have counterfeit
asa genuine note" the guilty intent TO pass
would be inferred, and they VIII upon trial,
host likely be convicted and sentenced
T-rstfng that your Chamber will give
,.1 .ublect which have brought before you
r0rr earnest attention,
