ZION III Tile nandS OF unprlnclpleO
money dealers and spectators.
While there is more than one kind Of
money. spectators will stand be-
tween them and grow rich out Of the
people by changing their relative
values. There should be but one
kind Of money, and that made of ma
terial possessing no s'intrinsic value.
then it could never depreciate and
never demand a premium, and there
would be no inducement to ruin the
business Of the country by contract
ing it. All experience proves this
the true policy.-Kearney Graves.
The money Of this nation should be
issued by the general government.
The nation revenue should be deriv-
ed from loaning the money to the diff
ferent state governments; and the
state governments should derive their
revenue by loaning it again at a little
higher rate to the different countries;
and the county and N municipal govern
ments should derive their revenue by
loaning it at a still higher rate to the
people. The largest amount Of mon
ely should be kept in circulation that
would just bring revenue enough to
keep up the expenses of the different
governments-JoSeph Eastman.
While we are debtor nation, if
we subordinate our currency to what
is called the ''currency of the world,
we shall be at the mercy of foreign
nations. By having Il paper curren-
| cy, inconvertible with specie we will
become masters of our own actions,
and able to protect the price of the
| valuable and indispensable products
we create. With an inconvertible
currency, legal tender for all dues,
we shall be enabled to conduct all our
industries at home; and with cotton,
| flour, bacon, tobacco, petroleum, ETC.,
we can buy the gold and silver and
precious jewels of the old world and
become the wealthiest nation on the
globe.-Richmond (Va.) Wing.
1t is the duty, power, and peroga-
tive of the government to issue the
money of the people, and no one else
should have the right. But we
should not complain while we vote in
men to make such laws. The. banks
sent men to take care of their inter-
est, and they have done it. You
have the chance to send men to look
out for your interests. You ought to
hang your heads in shame if you
don't do it. Give us the power, and
if we can't use it in a statesmanlike
manner we will give it up again. We
don't want anything wrong, but we
want the workingmen to have their
turn and see if they can't even things
up.-Butler at New Haven.
The grandest stride civilization will
have made since the introduction of
steam will be when the nations of the
earth substitute cheap, convenient
paper money for the expensive,

The old parties. and the republicans
especially. are consoling themselves
with the thought and remark that the
Greenback party wont last long.
Don't deceive yourselves. You have
been mistaken all along and you are
wofully mistaken now as usual.

Ter.
The hard money champions tel
the people that the hard times arr
not caused by contraction Of the
currency; that there is more currenc,
now than there was during or i'm
mediately after the var; and ther
turn around and tell them that W.
must get down to hard pan; that there
was such an imitation Of the currency
