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
tional paper money.-HRSRY CAREY BAIRD.
WHAT HONEY SHOULD NOT BIZ MADE OF.
Money should he thing Of, or belonging to,
the country. An exportable commodity is not
fitted 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 one of the scarcest arti-
c)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-is full supply of national
paper money having the feature Of inter-
changeability at the option Of the holder, with
Government bonds at q low and fixed rate Of
interest. -HEHRY 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.
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 selfishness. Then the
thin gossamer which has SO long united mans
honest efforts against the unjust interest Of
capital, will be brushed away as . web, and
for all time, the value Of brain, hand, and
sinew will rank superior to past accumula-
ti0ns.-CHARL.s N. 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. GROOM:
WHAT PAPER MONEY WOULD DO.
Distribute a sufficient volume Of full legal
tender paper currency through our country,
and what will be the result Answer A pru
rata increase in the employment of labor
Why ? Because it will increase the demand for
the products of labor. McCnlloch's contraction
policy has smitten industry with paralysis
throughout the broad extent of our whole
country .-PLINy 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 tlIeir whole
estate. JUICE KELLEY.
THE PEOPLE ASLEEP.
The people are, as q great giant, asleep.
whose thews and sinews are bound with fragile
wisps of straw. Once aroused from slumber
to q 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 N. DuPCY.
HOW TO PREVENT MONEY PAxIcs
Give us national paper currency over
which the gold interest has no control. and We
have seen the last OF the financial panics. SyD-
