tender for everything from drinks down t.
taxes, and that any citizen who refoosel
, to take it or murmurs at it, or in any way
discredits it, shell be beld ez public enemy
and be immejitlg hung.
The whereases and the resolooshen was
passed towupst, and I fek easier. With
the power to hang all which refooze to take
our money, 1 rather think 1 kin make il
current. A rope over limb Nv tree is a
persuader of rare merit, and it is the best
endorsement uv our paper that we kin pos
sibly hcv.
So far so good. But just ez wuz feelin
good over my success, that ommitigated
cuss, Jehial Perkins, the man wat give his
note to Bascom for barl NV whisky with
sich distinguished success, rose and sed he
he'd series of whereases and a resolooshen
to pass. He went on to say that he he'd
given this question of finance a great deal
Nv study. He endorsed fully the position
Nv the DImocrisy Nv Ohio and Pennsyl-
vany. He believed in more money
money enuff for everybody. He pinted
with pride to the development nv the
Corners since the creashun Nv more
money, and he believed that still more
money would make still more prosperity.
The idee wuz correct. The government
shood ishoo promises to pay, and faith
shood make em good without any such
nonsense ez redeemin and if the govern
ment shood do it why shoodnt banks ; if
banks, why not individuals ? That's wat
he wanted to know. Eff thur wuz eny sich
thing ez redeemin Nv it in gold or euything
else the people mite hev the rite to ask if
them ez ishood the money he'd gold or eDy-
thing else to redeem EN- with, but ez ther
aint no redeemin perposed why that ques-
ton don't come in. The people hev to hev
faith, and that's all the hevin ther is in the
transackshen. He wuz bleever in more
money, and he perposed to hev more mo-
ney, and he bleeved that them ez he'd the
greatest need for money shood hev the
privilege Nv ishooin it, and so long ez the
people took it from each other it answered
all the purposes Nv money. Therefore he
perposed the yoonanimus adopshun Nv the
followin whereases and resolooshen

WAREAs, The increese Nv currency in
the Corners hes bin productive of prosperi-
ty sich ez we never dreemed Nv; and,
WAREAs. 1t is the dooty Nv all earthly
governments to diffoose its blessins ekally,
thereby imitatin the docs of heaYen, wich
falls alike on the just and unjust; and,
WAREAs, The manufakter Nv money
shood be the privilege Of the man and,

propriety Nv compellin the people to take
sich money ez may be ishood therefore,

Resolred, That every man may ishoo his
notes Nv hand, in such sums ez may SCOT

notes shel be legal tender fur everything.

And the id ideots absolutely passed
the resolooshen without a minit's delay,
and they demanded that the Council meet
that very mite and pass the ordinance, wich
it did.
Ez every man NV en- commenst writin
notes to wunst. and buying all sorts NV
things with em, we're liable to have enuf
money at the Corners immejitly-ez much
ez our brethren in Ohio and Pennsylvany
wood desire, even.
Brerytbiug in the shape NV labor hez bin
abandoned, for everybody hez gone into
the manufakter Nv currency, that is, every
body who kin write. Thank Heaven that
they never favored skools here-the ina
blity to shed ink is the only limit to our
inhashen.
One singler result hez followed this
ordinance, viz; Nobody hez nothing to
sell. / went into shoe store yesterday,
thinking to treat myself to pare of boots,
but the deeler hadn't any to sell.
But 1 see a hundred pare on the
shelves, sed l.
They hev all bin bought by people over
in the next county, sed this viDin they
wuz bought for gold. Possibly eff 700 he'd
gold Good get one NV EN- to sell you a pair

And he sed suthin about bringin horse
to water, but 700 coodent make him drink.
1t is plain TO me that more legislashun
is a gOin to be necessary. Up TO certain
pint ,hey took our money, but somehow
them ez aint maxim it are fitin shy Nv
it. PETROLEUM V. NAsBY,

Z. S.-More trouble. 3ascom sez he's
got to bev something to 90 to Louisville
with beside our paper, or he'll bev to close.
Aud all the mechanics in the village, who
hey to buy things in Louisville, are clam
orin for suthin they kin buy with, and
threaten, eff they don't get it, to bust
things Wun NV EN- impudently sed that
afore the inaation period they didn't hev
much money, but they Good doc suthin
with wat they he'd. And the people ap-
plauded the disturber.
I'd P. S--Bascon hez jist come in. The
last drop NY likker il gone, and he swears
he'll close his bar eff we don't do suthin
towunst. l hev called meetin Of the Di-
rekters. Eff Bascom closes we are lost for
ever. The Corners kin git on with any
thing but that. kin get on awhile, for
hev a jug in reserve, but Heaven help
