The of1ishls NV the five banks in
the town met and decided to hold q
meetin NV the citizens, at wich steps
shood be taken to legalize our ishoos
The meeting wuz held, and NV
course we kerried it without any
trouble, for seven-tenths NV EN- had
our money in their pockets, and they
Wuz very favorable to any ackshen
that would keep it biin. To that
end we passed the follerin resolution.
" hereas, The Democracy nv Ohio
ana Pennsylvany, with singerlv
just appreshiashen Nv The wants NV
the citizens NV the Cross Roads,
have demanded more money and
Whereas, Five compinies hev ker-
ried out the idee NY the Democracy
NV Ohio and Pennsylvany by fur
nishin' the people more money, and
Whereas, NOTWITHSTANDING the on
paralleled prosperity that hez result
ed from the increase in currency,
certain men in tie cOmmoonity, by
refoosin to take it, decline to be bene-
fitted therefore, be it
ROsOlUed, That this meetin NV
citizens demand NV the Town Council
that it towunzt convene and pass an
ordinance making the ishoos of the
FIVE banks legal tender for every
thing from drinks down to taxes,
and that any citizen who refo ozes to
take it, or murmurs at it, or in any
way discredit5 it, shell be held ez a
public enemy and be immejitly
hung.

easier. With the power to hang all
who refOOzed to take our money, |

So far so good. But jist ez 1 wuz
feelin good oyer my success, that
onmitigated cuss, Jehial Perkins,
the man wat give his note to BascOm
for bari NV whisky with such dis
tinguished success, rose and Sed he
he'd n series NV wharasses and reso-
To II To-
that he he'd given this question NV
finance a great deal Nv study. He
indorsed fully the posishen NV the
Democrisy Nv Ohio and Pennsyl-
Yany. He bIeeyed in more money,
money .enuff for everybody. He
pinted with pride to the develop
ment NV the Corners since the crea-
shun wv more money, and he bleeved
that still more money would make
still more prosperity. The idee Wuz
correct. The Government shOOd
ishoo promises to pay and faith
shOOd make EN- good, without any
such nonsense ez redeemed; and if
the Government shOOd do it, why
shoodn't banks; if banks, why not
indiYijjiles? That's wat we wanted
to know. If there Wuz any such
thing ez redeemin it in gold or any
thing else the people might hev the
rite to ask them ez ishOod the gold
or anything else to redeem EN- with,
but ez ther ant no redemin proposed,
why that qu stiOn don't come in.
The people hev to hev faith, and
that's all the hevin ther is in the
transackshen. He Wuz a bleever in
more money, and he proposed to
hev more money, and he bleeved
that them ez had the greatest need CT
money shood hev the privilege NV
ishOoin it and so long as the people
took it from each other it ansered all
the purposes NV money, and Wuz
money. Therefore he purpOsed the
yoonanimus adopsun Nv the follOwin
whereases and resoloOshens
Whereas, Eff you hev a good
thing, you can't hev too much of it,
and
Whereas, The increase of currency
in the Corners hez bin productive NV
prosperity such as we never dreem-
ed NV and
Whereas, 1t is the DUTY NV all
earthly government to diffuse its
blessing ekally, thereby imitatin the
docs NV heaven, wich falls alike on
the just and the unjust and
Whereas, The manufakter NV mon

but shood be the privilege NV the
many and
Whereas. We recognize the iustis
and propriety Nv compellin the peo-
pie to take such money ez may be
