HENRY CAREY BAIRD
The amounts of money needed in country
should be determined by the wants of the peO
pie, and can only be done by means Of ma
tional paper money.-HRNRY CAREY BAIRD.
THE PEOPLE MUST STUDY THE QUESTION.
This currency question must be studied by
the people. more profound knowledge must
prevail-not Of books Of science, of literature,
but Of the effect of 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 selfshness. Then the
thin gossamer which has so long united mans
honest efforts against the unjust interest Of
capital, will be brushed away as q web, and
for all time, the value Of brain, hand, and
sinew will rank superior to past accumula-
tions.-CHARLEs M. DUPuY.
"a BARBARIsM UNWORTHY OF THE 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
other merchandise as money is a barbarism
unworthy OF the age.-WALLAcE P. CROOK.
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
the products of labor. McCnlloclls contraction
policy has smitten industry with paralysis
throughout the broad extent of our whole
country.-PLNY FRgExAy.
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, IS it is not
likely to have its value reduced by exporta-
ton. BENJAMIN franklin.
A DISHONEST SHANE EXPOSED.
The attempt to force resumption of specie
payments by contracting q volume OF currency
which is actively, legitimately, and probably
employed, is Is dishonest as it is unwise and
its projectors pause not. though they discover
that it robs millions Of laborers Of their whole
estate. JUD0E KELLEY.
THE PEOPLE ASLEEP.
The people are, Is great giant, asleep,
whose theNs and sinews are bound with fragile
wisps Of straw. Once aroused from slumbef
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 viii commence its perfect work and
maiOrities will demand that interest shall be
more justly proportioned TO tho gains Of labor.
