General Morgsn-Neither party pro-
poses that We shall have 9 metsllc cur
rency. All men agree thst IN any event
there mus: be paper currency, even
should there be specie resumption. Inc
difference between Us and the Republi-
cans is, that they desire National Bank
notes, while We prefer legal tender notes,
issued directly BY the Government and
based on its good faith. 1t is conceded
by the bankers themselves, and by those
who advocate bank pasper currency,
that the legal tender note Is the su'
perior in value to the bank note,
and people. in whose interest all
Legislation should be made, are
entitled. to the best currency, The green
back is superior to the ban k note IN this
that il is exempt from taxation, and Is
therefore, worth two and half per cent
more than the bank note. In substance
it is declared by lsT 10 be the more val
liable currency Of the two, for the law
provides that the bank note shall be re-
deemed BY the green back. There Is an
other reason why the people are entitled
to this substitution of the greenback Tor
the bank note. The green back Is legal
tender in the payment Of debts between
individuals. the bank note Is not, and
the people have right 10 demand IN
payment tor their property and labor
currency which will buy property and
paw debts and which the creditor has not
the right TO refuse.
