The temperance women Of Ohio have
at last gone to work systematically, and if
they can only keep from quarrelling, the
prospects are that they may accomplish
something. A State convention was held in

The State is to be thoroughly canvassed,

exercises should be renewed, as also the per.

are also to be opened where cheap refresh.

This looks a little more like business, and
we trust we shall at last have a fair test Of
the merits Of the crusading plan.

TO me Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: Having read the inquiries of GA
Reader" from Easton, Md, OF Aug and your reply
the 18th instant with much interest," the liberty OF
asking you TO permit me to lay the following facts
before your readers.
First: Nothing can properly be called money but
what law declares to be legal tender for all debts
public and private Money is currency, but currency
bank promising payment in lawful money are not
money legal tender does not require redemption in
any other money nothing is superior to full legal
tender" each performing the same functions.
Second Money is not wealth, but simply medium
OF exchange. 1t is not necessary that money should
possess any intrinsic commercial value whatever 1t
is only necessary that IL should be issued by govern
ment having ample revenues, with billions OF property,
and able at all times to pay the interest on any bonds
into which iegal-tender money may be converted at
the option of the holder, which will always keep legal
tender paper money par or "0n an equilibrium with
COIN"
Third Making money is the most important preroga-
tive Of sovereignty and therefore 1t should be made by
the Federal Government the common agent OF the
States virtue OF the unlimited power given by the
several States OF determining what shall constitute
legal tender made in the of the sovereign people
of the several States and for their benefit
Fourth: Banks of issue have been curse TO the
country and gross fraud the people They have been
acurse by having the dangerous power expanding and
contracting the currency at pleasure, by which means
commercial revulsOns have been produced working the
ruin Of thousands upon thousands OF business men and
weathproducers, will cOnclusively prove. They
are gross fraud the people, because they are by
law authorized TO issue paper currency three four
and at present. TO twenty times the amount OF any
lawful money which they may possess. and with which
they promise to redeem their bank or currency;
greatly enhancing the interest their capital produc-
ing fictitious values and thus greatly increasing the
cost doing business and of living to producers as well
as to those who live liked incomes" and monopo-
lie an advantage which should be enjoyed by the
whole body OF the people.
FIN Legaltender par money produces real values
reducing the cost OF production, OF living and OF doing
business requiring less money to the same amount
Of business and enabling people who live interest
OF their money lend II securely ana live az well
lower rate OF interest than with q fictitious cur
rency and false values.
