wouid substitute therefor certificates
of value, based on the wealth OF the
country, and differing from our press
ent greenbacks little except in their
being made q legal tender for all ln-

yer should be regarded only as COM
modities of exchange according TO
their value as indicated by weight,
that % specie currency should never
be established by q free people, that
it has been the cause Of the panlcs
and financial difficulties known IN

may be prevented by a currency
based not only upon the gold IN the

and element OF national prosperity.
He urges that the present system OF

tenn nearly assimilates, was the
means Of swing the country, and he
believes that it will prove the safe
