The Mosquito.

he does for a living, and how he is
produced. ItiS an interesting sketch
but by no means a compensation for
the mosquito bite. or the "small hor.

says:
1t is unscicntiiic to say mosquitoes
bite, for they have 10 teeth aud
they have no need OF teeth to seize
upon and prepare their food, for
they are dainty, and take food only

if paid in legal tenders. Speaking of
this money, Mr.. S. says. For two
years the greenbacks we're the most
popular currency ever used in the
United States, and had there been
no other, would not have failed
to buy every necessary commodity
for every use, public or private, with
out complaint, and if it swelled the
currency Of the country, it also
swelled business of every kind. for
eigu and domestic, agricultural and
manufacturing. So also swelled the
income of business men. and thereby
vastly increased the revenue of the
Government.
The great question now at issue is
the right of the Government to pay,
and the policy of paying the debt in
greenbscks, lawful money. Upon
this he remarks: Various methods
are suggested to redeem the 5-20s in
currency. one very able writer sug-
gests a loan in greenbacks to their
amount, so,that afterwards the green
backs may be redeemed with the
others If we are satisfied that there
is no more than a sufficient cur
rency to do the business Of the
country with its probable increase.
then that would be a proper method
without influencing prices as a coun-
ter balance to the saving; but il its be-
lieved that the present and prospect
i've business of the country would
fairly absorb an amount large enough
TO redeem those bonds as they come
due, and not injuriously increase
business, the true way would by for
the Government to issue legal tenders
equal to the amount TO be redeemed
aud thus save the interest both of the
old and new loans. With these views
he deems the contraction of the cur
rency of four millions a month, as
now authorized, highly impolitic
Finally he believes the true way, if
not the only one, to reach specie pay
ment, is to reduce the debt as propos-
ed before any attempt be made to
contract the currency.

which we can readily dispose of to

There cannot be a time when, with

1.-THE Government has the consti-
tutional power to make money Of
whatever material it choose, whether
metal or paper, leather, tin, or green
backs, and to regulate its value: and
therefore legal tenders are, Eo all in
tents and purposes, the lawful money

debts, public and priva e, may be
legally and justly paid. Money is
Just W hat the law makes 1t.
He refers to the fact that the Gov
crnment has at different times re
duced the price of silver, and that
when so reduced it was made to pass
to every creditor as well as debtor at
the original price, and argues that
there IS the same power to issue and
regulate the value of any other kind
OF money; consequently that it was
just and proper for the Government
to pay the national debt in green
backs-lawful money Referring TO
the debt he says: Now let US come
to the Government loan, and for a
single moment consider it, which.
even without the monstrous doctrine
of Greeley and Cooke, is the most
profitable investment ever made by
money lenders, and is a monstrous
swindle on Americans. On the part
