OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,

HENRY cAREg BAIRD.
The amounts Of money.needed in a county
sheuld be determined by the wants of the PEG.
pie, and can only be done by means OF ma
ti0nal paper money.-ERxRY CAREY BAIRD.
WHAT MONEY SHOULD NOT BIZ MADE OF.
Money should he thing of, or belonging to-.
The country. An exportable commodity is not
lifted to be money. And nothing could be
more monstrous than England's principle
followed by the United. States-of forcing her
people to be buyers Of gold, and making their
possession of gold-oae Of the scarcest arti-
ts!es in the world-the condition of their being
able to furnish themselves with food and
clothing. Hon. ISAAC BUCHANAN, of Canada.
The most beautiful, most perfect, and most
certain plan ever devised or suggested by man
for the accomplishment of this grand object
financial stabilily-isa full supply of national
paper money having the feature of inter-
changeability at the option of the holder, with
Government bonds. at . low and fixed rate of
interest. -HExRY CAREY BAIRD.
THE PEOPLE MUST STUDY THE QUESTION.
This currency question must be studied by
the people. A more profound knowledge must
prevail-not Of books of science, of literature,
but Of the effect Of a 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 understooa by the
people true men everywhere regardless of party
will unite to overthrow selfshness. Then the
thin gossamer which has SO long united mans
honest efforts against the unjust interest of
capital, will be brushed away as a, web, and
for all time, the value Of brain, band, and
sinew will rank superior to past accumula-
tions.-CHARLss N. DUPUY.
"a BARBARIsN UNWORTHY OF TEE AGE"
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
unworthy Of the age.-WALLAcE p. 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 pro
rata increase in the employment of labor
Why Because it will increase the demand for
policy has smitten industry with paralysis
throughout the broad extent Of our whole
county. 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.
A DISHONEST SHAME EXPOSED.
The attempt to force resumption Of specie
payments by contracting volume of currency
which is actively, legitimately, and proiitably
s. scA< :
its projectors pause not, though they discover
that it robs millions of laborers Of their whole
estate. JUDGE 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 slumber
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 demand that interest shall be
more justly proportioned to tho gains of labor
CHARLES NJ. DrPur.
now TO PREVENT MONEY PAxrCs.
Give US national paper currency over
which the gold interest has no control. and We
have seen the last Of the financial panics. SYD-
xxY MYERS of Chicago.
PRoPuEsY BY HENRY CAREY BAIRD.
Instead Of transferring $500, O00, ono Of our
debt abroad and paying * per cent. in gold
on 1t for thirty years, we can borrow t5yO, Co.,
600 from the people Of the United States ct an
average interest Of 2 per cent in currency,
and by this process We will have the means Of
yitalizing our industries. Of producing things
by the sale OF which We can pay our debt
abroad instead Of getting deeper into debt, and
at the same time We will keep our people
employed, and prevent general ruin and de-
moraliz1ti0n among them. II we do not It
will not be three years before the name Of the
American Government will bs by-word and
a reproach in the minds and hearts Of all the
best people in the world. To sum up. Get
our people to work; get them 70 work at any
cost. If You do mt, our whole fabric Of society
and government goes down in one crash never
to rise, except under some form Of tyranny.
HExEY CAREY BAIRD.
THE DIFFICULTY Is NIT SHELL.
The unemployed arr willing to work and
create wealth, Bet while they arc crsatiDg IL,
they need some one to give them something
that the farmer will accept for food-that
the farmer could pass his neighbor shop
keeper for cloth-fhat that neighbor could
then pass to the city trader in satisfaction Of
his debt. That thing, however. is scarcely
anywhere to Be found and its generic name q
messy. HEsRY c. CAsEY:
JUDGE KELLEY OF CONTRACTION.
Contraction Of the currency, If continued,
will prove . failure, bat not . harmless one. It
