The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1876-02-26

The issue is not between gold and le-
gal tenders, but whether our currency
shall consist of all bank circulation,
doled out to the people by combina-
ton of corporations at exorbitant rates
of interest. or of legal tenders, issued di-
rectlv TO the people in the payment of
the debts and current expenditures OF
the Government. The issue admits OF
no compromise; for, upon the result de-
nends the question whether we are to
have a Government of the people or
money oligarchy 1t is one OF the
strongest convictions of my life that, up
an lis decision, are suspended the fate Of
our civilization and the destiny of the
country.

THE GREAT POWERS, it is reported, are
not quite at Que rs to what should he done
in Herzegovina. Austria wished for the
Province large measure of self government,
while Russia is not thought to demand more
than a faithful adhesion to his promises of
reform by the Porte, The Russian Embassy
at Constantirope is believed to have been
the most influential for some time past, and
it is probably with view to retaining that
influence, as the time has not come for more
active measures, that the st. Petersburg su-
horties seem inclined to treat the Porte
with more consideration than those Of the
country nearer to him.
