Paper Money Cheats the
EahCPOr.

ALL sound thinkers must agree with
Mr.. Webster, that cot all the contri-
vapces for cheating the laboring class
es OF mankind, none has been more
effectual than that which deludes them
with paper money. This is the mos.
effectual of inventions to fertilize the
rich mans field by the sweat of the
poor mans brow. Ordinary tyranny,
oppression, excessive taxation, these
bear lightly on the happiness of the
mass or the community, compared
with fraudulent currencies, and the
robberies committed by deprecia-
ted paper. Our own history has re-
corded for our instruction enough, and
more than enough, of the demoraliz-
ing tendency, the injustice and the
intolerable oppression on the virtuous
and well disposed, Of degraded pa
per currency, authorized by law, OF
any way conntenanced by govern
ment."
1t must also be manifest that for
the issuer of incontrovertible paper to
somnly set limit that he will not
pass is as absurd as to allow an opium
eater or drunkard to SET limits to
his own excuses. TO stop at any fix
ed amount is misery and constructing
torment there is no comfort except
in a continual flowing of stream, an
other Every last drop" a continual
"only a little more" If we wait till we
"grow up to the currency that we
now have, it will surely pinch us, and
then for relief we must initiate.
There is therefore, as Prot: Sumner
says, only this grim alternative, Ito
60 on Or to turn back" "To 90 on
to further initiation means simply
bankruptcy and reputation. Each
new issue Will produce only for time,
ease and apparent prosperity, to be
followed in a few years by a new
crisis and new distress, then new
issue and so on over again. II we
choose the other alternative, it is
useless to try to deceive ourselves at
all in regard to what it involves. II
we want specie payments, we must
have specie; and if we want specie,
the entire history before us repeats
to WEAKNESS that we must get the
papei out of the way" "These are
the alternatives and it has been well
