was delivered oy Dr. Sheldon The subject was the
''Orgin and Use Of Money" The lecturer, after
short review Of how money first brought into
use for tho purpose OF trade and barter, sud
denly stated the object Of his lecture which
was 10 prove that greenbacxs were the best money
ever known. He said that paper money had often
been used by government, aud sometimes this paper
money had been repudated, such the Continental
money aud the French Assignats; but the present
greenback money OF the United States hal to back
the wealth and immeasurable RESOURCES OF the
greatest nation II was necessary that the govern
should Issue this money aud plenty OF H. in order 10
develop the great resources 0f the country. These
hard money men were nothing but trcksters pauder-
my to the appetites OF foreign dig srchy who were
drawing the life blood Of the country and making
them pay double and treble interest Tor Tie use OF
their gold The newspapers were subsdiz zed lc2isa-
lures were bought and even the Congress Of the
proach oi these hard money grahhers DR..
the United States aud endcavorcd to show how much
good had been done and how much the country had
developed wnen the system WAS irecr oven than II Is
now. But DR.. oheldons main argument WAS that the
people ought 10 be able 10 30 direct the government
