plans of Others people, but propose
none myself Bear with me briefly
for a moment. We have now five
hundred millions of five-twenty bonds
payable in five or at the end oftwentY
years. They are about payable now.
Tho five years have really expired.
They ean be paid now OF. at any time
within theaneSt fifteen years. Sprinkle
the next fifteen years with an issue Of
currency, and we should be able to
pay these bonds in better money than
the debt was bought with. Applausel
Do you say that would initiate the
currency and raise the price of COM
modities? Let me appeal to this as
sembly. I judge from the faces turn
ed towards me that you are from eve
in life. Do YOU want
money! Was there ever such cry of
distress for, a circulating medium as
there is to-day, irrespective of party7
The cotton crop alone calls for three
hundred millions of. f.circulation to car
ry it off,, This is what was told when
1 was in New Orleans in September
by commission merchant of that
city. The sugar crop needs one hum
dred and fifty millions more. TheIrice
crop needs fifty million, making five
hundred millions which is needed by
the South alone The whole circula-
ton now is seven hundred millions.
By the opening of this country west
of us. nearly to the golden gates of
California, a circulation is demanded
in the interests ofthe trade of this re-
gion greater than that of the whole
country before the war. We are
growing, advancing, and powerful peo-
pie. Instead of seven hundred mill
ions to-day; thisrountryco could absorb
twelve, hundred. millions and not feel
any undue imitation. This is pow
erful question for the people, espe-
ciaIly whenyon consider the Nation-
al banking system, and the irregular
distribution of the, currency. Massa-
chnsetts has thirty six dollars per cap
ttd, while here in Indiana we have
but six dollars. We are the step-chil-
dren, of the household who haveto
take the leavings of others and more
favored ones. .7'@ s. = - 7tit''i'..i iEt'ti
