HENRY CAREY BAIRD.
The amounts of money needed in country
should be determined by the wants of the PEG
pie, and can only be done by means Of ma
Eional paper money.-HRSRY CAREY BAIRD.
WHAT MONEY SHOULD NOT BE MADE OF.
Money should he thing of, or belonging to,
The country. An exportable commodity is not
more monstrous than England's principle
followed by the United States-of forcing her
people to be buyers of gold, and making their
of gold-one Of the scarcest arti-
cles 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 stabi1ily-is full supply of national
paper money having the feature OF inter
at the option OF the holder, with
Government bonds at q low and fixed rate of
interest. Henry CARRY 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,
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 selfishnsss. Then the
thin gossamer which has SO long united mans
honest efforts against the unjust interest OF
capital, will be brushed away IS web, and
for all time, the value Of brain, hand, and
sinew will rank superior to past aocumula-

"a BARBARIsM UNwORTHY or THE AGE"
Paper money would be . much nearer perfect
measure of value than gold or silver ever
have been or ever can be. The use Of gold or
other merchandise As money is barbarism
unworthy OF the age.-WALLACR 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: A 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
country. -PLNY FRRRMAx.
BENJAMIN YRANKLIN.
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 SHANE EXPOSED.
The attempt to force resumption Of specie
payments by contracting volume Of currency
which is actively, legitimately, and profitably
employed, is Is dishonest as II is unwise and
its projectors pause not. though they discover
that it robs millions Of laborers OF their whole
estate. JuDoE KELLEY.
THE PEOPLE ASLEEP.
The people are, as q great giant, asleep,
whose theWs and sinews are bound with fragile
wisps Of straw. Ones aroused from slumbel
to conscious sense OF bondage, and the letters
will be rent into a thousand fragments. When
the ballot viii commence its perfect work and
majorities will demand that interest shall be
more Justly proportional to tho gains Of labor
CHARLES N. DcPuY.
HOW TO PREVENT MONEY! PAsIcs.
Give No = national paper currency ovel
which the gold interest has no control, and w
have seen the last OF the financial panics. SYD.

HENRI CAREY BAIRD.
THE DIFFICULTY IN SrT SHIELD.
The unemployed are willing to work and
create wealth, Bet while they are creating IL,
they need some one TO give them something
that the farmer will accept for food-thai
the farmer could pass his neighbor shop
keeper for ci0th-that that neighbo4 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 &
money. HKyRY c. CAR.T.
JUDGE KELLEY ox CONTRACTION.
Contraction Of the currency, il continued
will prove failure, but not harmless one. Il
will be fatal to . majority Of the business mer
Of this generation and strip the frugal laborerl
Of the small but hard earned sums they have
deposited in saving banks. Its object i to re-
duce the amount Of working capital in the
country, and by thus unsestIing values il will
parzlyze trade, suspend production and deprive
industry Of employment. Jrpos KRLLEY.
