cles in the worid-the condition. Of their being
able to furnish themselves with food and
clothing. Hon. ISAAC BUCHANAN, OF Canada.
The most beautiful, most peSfect, and most |
certain plan ever devised or suggested by man
for the accomplishment of this grand object
financial stabi1ily-is full supply OF national |
paper money having the feature OF inter-
changeability at the option Of the holder, with
bonds at q low and fixed rate Of
interest HENRY CAREY BAIRD
THE PEOPLE MUST STUDY THE QUESTION.
This currency question nanst be studied by |
the people. A more profound knowledge must |
prevail-not of books Of science, Of literature,
but Of the effect Of q few simple Laws within
the comprehension of the most unlettered. No
constitutional objections have force. for the
people may change the constitution. When
the question is thoroughly understood by the
people true men everywhere regardless Of party
will unite to overthrow sel6shness. Then the
thin gossamer which has SO long united mans
honest efforts against the unjust interest OF
for all time, the value Of brain, hand, and
sinew will rank superior 70 past accumula-
tions.-CHARLEs NJ. DUPUY.
PAPER money would be much nearer perfect
measure of value than gold or silver ever
have been or ever can he. The use of gold or
other merchandise as money is barbarism
unworthy of the age.-WALLAcE F. GROOM:
WHAT PAPER MONEY WOULD DO.
Distribute sufficient volume Of full legal
tender paper currency through our country,
and what will be the result? Answer: A pro
rata increase in the employment of labor.
Whv Because it will increase the demand for
the products of labor. McCnllocll's contraction
policy has smitten industry with paralysis
throughout the broad extent of our whole
country-PLlXY FREEMAN.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
Gold and silver are not intrinsically of equal
value with iron. Their value rests chiefly in
the estimation they happen to be in among the
generality Of nations. Paper money has great
advantages over gold and silver, as it is not
likely to have its value reduced by exporta-
| ton. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. !.
DISHONEST SHAME EXPOSED.
The attempt to force resumption Of specie
payments by contracting volume Of currency
which is actively, legitimately, and proftably
employed, is as dishonest as it is unwise and
its projectors pause not, though they discover
| that it robs millions Of laborers of their whole
estate. JUDGR KELLEY.
THE PEOPLE ASLEEP.
| The people are, as great giant, asleep,
| whose theWs and sinews are bound with fragile
| wisps OF straw. Once aroused from slnmber
to conscious sense Of bondage, and the letters
will be rent into thousand fragments. When
they generally know the integrity Of their cause
the ballot will commence its perfect work and
majorities will denand that interest shall be
more Justly proportioned to tho gains Of labor.
CHARLES d. DCPuY.

| Instead Of transferring e6OO, 00O, ono Of our
debt abroad and paying * per cent. in gold
on 1t for thirty years, we can borrow $500, OW,
COO from the people Of the United States 1t an
average interest Of 2 per cent in currency,
| and BY this process We will have the means Of
vitalizing our industries, Of producing things
by the sale Of which We can pay our debt
abroad irstead Of getting deeper into debt, and
| at the same time We will keep our people
employed, and prevent general ruin and de-
| moralization among them. II we do not II
| will not BE- three years before the name Of the
American Government will be . by-word and
| a reproach in the minds and hearts Of all the
best people in the world To sum up. Gel
| our people to work; e.. them to work 1t any
cost If you do not, our whole fabric OF society
and government goes down in one crash neve,
to rise, except under some form OF tyranny
