And nov jeff Dayi- comes to
the front as a champion of worthless
rag-mouey," and clinches his srgu-
ment by Stating that the currency in
France is S4l.9l per capita, when in
fact it is only little more than on e.
third OF that amount. He also stated
that the currency in this country is
only Sl4.34 per head, while in reality
it is $24.05. The ICON federate chief

There is q man in Illiuoi. whom the
Ohio Democrats should secure At once
and put upon their STUMP. His name
is Forsyth, and he j. chaplain OF a
Grange. The Changers held pic nic
last week, and the erudlte chaplain
made speech, in which he unfoldt d q
financial scheme which totally eclipses
that of Judge Kelley. He thought the
best kind of money would be made 10y
the Government taking piece Of
blank paper and stamping on 1t, The
United States. Ten Dollars, or any
other desirable sum. There is no ~.
convenient promise redemption
about that, and every man could have
all he wished. 1t Is a beautiful plan
We print this morning letter
written by Bishop Capers, of thu
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, t.
MT.DuPre, of South Carolina, nearly
quarter of a century ago. 1t will b.
interesting to our Methodist friends, il
both branches of the Church. 1t j
remarkable for its prophetic character
and for the spirit of profound piet!
which permeates every paragraph o
the letter. 1t has just been published
in the New York Methodist and tn
demand for it was so great that the en-
tire edition was exhausted, and tina
paper proposes to reproduce 1t in 1t
next issue. The letter is "voice from
the grave" TO the great Methods
family in the United States, in behsl
of fraternity and unity.
The farmers of East Tennessee
are not so short-sighted a. to wish
return to the system Of banking whic
prevailed before the war. Hundred
of them remember very well how
about twenty years ago, almost tn
entire surplus wheat crop in this vi
entity was sold and paid for with tn
issues OF the Bank of East Tennessee
Soon after the bank broke, and thou
sands of dollars remained in the hand
of the farmers and proved to be tots
loss. May the Good Lord, in Hi
mercy, deliver Us from the domination
of such irresponsible, " wildcat con
Germs as that proved to be! Let u
have such q currency, that when tn
farmer gets dollar he knows that h
has dollar that will pass as such any
where in the country, and not lyin
"promises to pay" signed by Ton
