The children Of Israel are going forward
The energetic work Of the Independents
under the last campaign is not without fruit.
II has awakened the people from their deep
slumber, and they have AZ last commenced to
think for themselves. Men who never before
took newspaper or any part in political dis
cuSsiona are now alive End ready for political
action. The people are fully aware of the crit
ical situation the country has been brought
into through the mismanagement of their
rulers, who are under the control of the gilt
tering gold Of the money shsrks-the curse of
the nation.
Among the Scandinavian population this
great financial question has become more aud
more matter of discussion, and that too in
spite OF the fact that all their newspapers are
edited by partisans of either one or the ether
of the old parties. The Independents have
not, IN this whole country, got single Scan
dinavian organ to advocate their principles
During the last cam On both the old parties
distributed thousands Of campaign documents,
written IN the Scandinavian language, while
eur party had none; but still on the election
day, many votes were cast for Cooper Il Cary,
and the Independent party. think the num-
Der OF votes could have been much greater il
we could have had single organ in our own

THE SPECIE BASIS.

q. Mr.. Britton "A. Hughes recently pub
lished three very able papers upon
finance, in which he seeks to establish
the curious doctrine that the metallic
or specie basis is a mockery, delu-
sion and snare. He would exclude
gold and silver from circulation and
have the nation issue paper money,
resting or its faith and credit, legal tenp
der between man and man, and receiys
able for all taxes due the nation. We
quote an extract from his interestin 6
argument:
Universal bankruptcy, following the
return to coin basis, wills of necessity
prove the downfall of our republic; and
and il is on this account that tYou and /
are engaged in this crusade against the
revival Of coin despotism, and for the
permanent establishment of republican
legal tenders.
We did establishsthem.a nd with glori-
Gus success, at the commencement of the
war of the rebellion. We smaintaineo
that system gloriously during the whole
time OF that war Our country never ex-
perienced such a period of prosperit Y as
it enjoyedfthen. Millions were added to
our population, one territory after another
was organized into states, to enlarge our
Union our commerce, means Oh commu
nication and manufactures increased s
they had never increased before.
al, i Ior
and silver money system Of coins issued
or rather stamped by government had to
give way to the paper-money system
chiefly on account Of the scarcity and
lnsuticiency of the metals, but partly al
80 on account of its bulksomeness. its liza
bility to sweating" and counterieiting,
and on account OF the risk incurred in
its transportation. OF course, there were
a number Of people, facinated by the
glitter OF coins, who objected to this SUBJ
stitution OF paper for gold money and
to conciliate these, u compromise was
finally effected on the agreement that
there should be gold or silver basis for
the paperSmoney issued.
We, as well as number of other ma
tons, have tried this experiment of a
specie basis; and, like other nations,
have made signal failure of it. The
reason of this universal failue is sim-
pie enough, namely, that in the whole
world there is not gold and silver enough
wherewith to conduct its commercial bus
mess and that such basis must, there
fore, of necessity, be purely fictitious.
Whenever the holders OF paper money,
pretending TO be issued on specie basis,
grow doubtful as to whether the specie
basis OF that paper money is real, and
whether they can actually obtain the
specie for it at any time they like, they
make a run on the banks or government
treasures, by whom that paper money
is issued. and demand the specie for it.
OF course they cannot get it. No bank,
and no government, can exchange, Oh
redeem as it is called, its paper tokens il
gold tokens when such sudden run oc-
ours
Hence, | propose, that we shall abol'
ish the system of a specie basis altogeth-
er, and place our whole financial system
upon the basis of an absolute money, re.
deemable nosin gold and silver alone, bu
in every commodity of the land. includ
