to have paper as q currency take the place
of gold, whether issued by government
or chartered institutions, have only
brought ruin to the people in the end.
The continental paper of our Revolution,
the Assignats of France, and The frequent
swindling and ruin of our chartered prom
ises to pay, tell the tale.
For centuries prior to the establishment
of our present modern systems of bank
ing, Gold-smiths' (bankers) certificates,
passed from city to city as bills of ex-
change now pass. Merchants and others,
even in those days. did not burden them
selves with their gold: and if all paper
currency were abolished, honeat dealers
in money and exchange would still exist
and things would move along financially
and securely. ALI history prove that pa
per promises, as a circulating medium, on
ly render values moro uncertain and ir-
regular; and brings ruin in its train upon
every people resOrting to its "perilous
uAe," as Daniel Webster once said.
MONEY is . mere continuance for fAcili-
tating exchanges of commodities or val
ues. THIS contrivance should not affect,
and is not supposed to affect, the laws of
value. The value of q currency depends
upon the quantity or volume combined
with the rapidIty of circulation. When
the currency of a people, however, is in
convertible, it becomes sluggish in its cir
,cu~lation, and increasing the volume or
quantity only aggrAvates the evil.
The Grant Administration is now ag-
gravating the evil by additional expan-
sion, hAYing increased the volume of
~greenbacks by some twenty sightmillions
within three months. A ten dollar gold
piece passing through ten hands may pay
one hundred dollars in one day. This con-
tinued would pay twsnty-four hundred
dollars in four weeks. This AhO8s the
importanee Of activity in circulation an d
the inPOrtAnee OF acurrency Of inherent
value. not dependent m any Jay Cooke
gamblers, or any grabbing rulers,
H.SMtalks about specie being SO liabl e
to counterfeit by alloy, &c. This shows
how little he knows about the subject. If
the ring Of the specie does not salts fY. a
pair of small scales will. He also talks
about enlightened and barbara as
countries. 1t does happen doubtless. that
in the former. more successful schemes OF
kaAvsTy and 90 called legalised
robbery are got mp. VI need only again
point 60 our Jay Cooks gamblers and ring
managers: In Mexico, the robbers have .
little different mode. That is all. Eng
land and France and indeed all European
countries, have better arranged -currsncles
than We have. They have also cheaper
and more honest; administrations. Let II.
s. N. put that in his pipe. % i1a.

PAPER.

Resting upon the guarantee of q stable
and honest government, is best for this
country. Specie has no claim superior to
such as a representative Of value, when
used as q medium of exchange. On the
contrary tits quite as liable TO counterfeit
by alloy and dElawfui coinage. as Bank
Paper by counterfeIting. 1t is much more
trouble TO protect ito transport it-in
short to use It IN commercial transactions.
It has never yet been the medium of ak
chanRein any enlightened country. The
nearer q nation is TO barbafism, the more
metallic currency it uses, and the less wall
it be found TO possess the means, of easy
and rapid transactions Of business. MexI-
CO uses specie. Viii any one claim supe-
riority for its commercial system over that
of theU 81 Not another nation claiming
TO be. enlightened but has its paper money
its banks-its systems Of exchange. $50
Beyond all question paper money Is the
most convenient-most easily and safely
handled, and no more liable 70 counterfeit
than specie,-much less liable to deceive
the masses as to its valu9. -. paw al
If the u. IS. uses paper money it should
be of such a character as to be equally
good in every part Of it, IS all money has
q LeQdl Udtne-no absolute vAlue-Con-
gress should so legislate that there will be
no desire to establish State Banks, as in
anti-bsllum times, but the paper money
of the whole country shoald be national
in Its character and usefu1ness.-like our
U. S currency, and our National Bank
notes, the first as secured by direct
pledge Of the National fRith-the, second
guaranteedsby the United States, upon
pledge Of its own Bonds as security. 80
To US the above embodies our ideas ola
safe, conrenient and reliabla medium of
exchange, for national currency. From
the above We naturally glide into the quesr
