of this country will not suffer for
the want of q President ? The ac-
tual reason why the great body of
American women r against wo-

that some time IN the course CT

Schuyler Colfax was c reading
a newspaper at the foot of his
throne, and if be gets any comfor.
out of his position it must consist
in holding the gavel suspended v

of the country. And yet there is
no chance of bringing these Sena-
tors to order as in the case of the
unruly members of the House.
The Senators are always in order !;
there is no chance of enjoyment for
Schuyler COlfaX, except to crawl
out of his seat and read q newspa-
per-. And what does he find in that
newspaper Oh, sorrow and con-

MORE CURRENCY NEEDED.
The Platform of the Coming
Party.

The Laws of Trade should regulate
the currency, and each bondholder
should have the option of selling back
to the Government his bond, receiving
therefor currency. The currency
should be redeemable at the pleasure
of the holder in Government Bonds.
Practically there is less currency in
circulation now (1S7O) than there was
ten years ago. Ten years is but g very
short time, yet what has it produced ?
The country, by the adoption of the
blacks as citizens, has increased its
free population 100000. These five
millions of people now need more mo-
ney than they did ten years ago. No
ney is now spent for articles that, be-
fore their liberation, they know moth
ing about.
The population of the country has
also augmented by its natural in
crease.
Emigration has brought twice as ma
ny people to- our shores in the ten
years bounded by 1860 and 1870, as du-
ring any previous ten years.
During this decade new territory has
been gained, with a new population.
Civil war has brought US, what from
al time it has brought to other ma
tons, namely, extravaganza in thought
and expenditure. Every citizen re-
quires nearly double the money to
bear his yearly expenses now that he
did in 1860.
There is twice the number of miles
of railroads in process of construction
in 1870 that there was in 1860, and
other Improvements in the same pro
portion.
When we take these things into
consideration, we can now plaialy see
how the people at least double the
sum of money that they did ten years
ago:
Why do they require this increase
Of money Let US see. Let US anal
we the currency, show what is curren-
cy, and what of the so-called currency
is not a circulatin& medium. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury designates as
currency
l.. Gold and siIAer;
2. Compound interest notes;
The Conservative. (M'connelsville, Ohio) 1866-1871, 1870-04-01

new Bonds. These 4 IL per cent.
Bonds should be free of taxation. and
the income from them also. This
would render them attractive, and
WOULD be paying the holders of them a
fair rate of interest.
1t is proper that the Government
! should ever sell gold We think not.
All persons in legitimate trade have
felt the evil influence of "go'd sales"
These can be avoided by not collecting
any more gold than is absolutely ne
cessary. Let the Secretary of the Urea
sury estimate each year, or each quart
er of year, how much gold will be
needed then let a careful estimate be
made of how much gold will be col
lected, and allow the difference to be
paid in currency. 1t is better for the
Treasury of the United States to buy
one hundred millions of gold per year
than for it to sell ave millions.
The sale deranges. The purchase
has effect. Make it imperative on
the Secretary of the Treasury TO carry
out this law, and to cancel every inter
est-bearing Bind as soon as it reaches
the Treasury. Within three years we
will have changed the larger portion
of the Debt from 6 to 4 IL per cent -
We will, by giving to the people plenty
of currency, create new prosperity.
We will have taken away from the
moneyed few the power to make arti-
fetal stringency in the money market.
and thereby to check trade, and ali
improvements.
Most States have laws by which sew
en- per cent. is the highest rate of in
terest allowed. By such a bill he will
have relieved the General Government
from the charge of being a law breaker,
which it is now, in offering, virtually,
nine per cent, which is breaking down
the laws of interest as regulated by
States.
