Gold Versus Paper.

Why should there be any difference
between gold and greenbacks rs q cur
rcucy? Is the one more secure than
the other ?
There is on intrinsic value 10 gold.
So there is in iron, tin, and other
metals.
Gold as a currency must FIRST re-
ccive tho Government impress. so
must paper.
The gold dollar is regulated by
weight, and it matters not how much
gold or how little there is, its nominal
value is the same. The same holds
good with regard to stamped paper.
An excess Of gold would enhance
property; its scarcity dcprCciatc it.

Is gold any more safe : Its intrin.
sic value is in proportion to its useful
ness only. So Of paper. Gold us q
currency redccms itself. Greenb acks
do tho same thing. Both get their
nominal value stamped upon the face
by tho government. Gold has itself,
only, as security. Greenbacks have
the faith Of the government, all the
gold, all the silver, all tho metals and
oil tho property that has intrinsic value
Us security.
With this amount Of security can
grcenbacks depreciate? Then what
right has the government to mako q

tue greeubacks, because the security
behind it is Of more intrinsic value
than gold.
Tho grconback pays its own way
that is all that gold ever did.
There is time enough to discuss tho
question Of preference for gold or, pa.

Is reasonable prospect Of supply Of tho

Commenting the Chalice to Their

The Circuit Court of Carrot county,
Maryland, and its officers, are Radi.
cal concern altogether. In drawing
for jurors for the coming term they
drew a negro. Upon this becoming
known to the rank and flc Of the Gar.
rett county Radicals, they "swore like
tho army in Flanders" denOunciug the
Clerk Of the Court and damning him to
all the hot places above or under the
earth. The Clerk becoming alarmed,
tried to crawfsh out Of it BY dropping
the nigger's name from the list. Thus
the niger is to be denied his rights by
q Republican Judge and by Repub.
licau Clerk. We very much mistake
the character Of the Democrats of Gar
rctt county if they do not see that the
niger gets bis rights, by having him
put in tina, jury box. Nothing short
Of a civil rights bill would satisfy the
hypOcritical radicals, and now they arc
the first to violate its provisions Mar

cans, who arc responsible for the paper

ators, who have always been q paper

age their own currency; that they

the government has not one dollar in

while tho Democrats who have always
opposed paper money are doing their
best to sustain their present currency
