that II il proposed 10 run a candidate

currency is the best We have ever had.
Il has now, or soon viii have, q per-

all parts of he country. In former
days, within the recollection Of many
of our readers, we had State banks aud
local blmks, with circulating notes,
current only in certain localities. \
man might start to travel over the
country with a pocket fall of money.
but lac would have to change his cur
rency every time he crossed Il State
line. Ever and anon these banks were
breaking and whoever had these issues
when they broke lost them. We had a
| notable example here in Knoxville IN
the ease of The bank Of East Tennessee,
which failed about twenty-five ycaas
ago. u was just after the farmers in
thi. section had disposed Of their wheat
receiving for ii the issue Of the Bank Of
! East Tennessee, all of which was TO
them a clear loss. There are doubtless
farmers who read III CLr2ni:'e who
| have some of these issues GA hand yet,
worth no more than any other waste
paper. Now, we prefer gTccnbankN
or National Bank notes 10 such "A cUr-
rency us that. If National bank fails,
as many of them have, their circulation
remains good and the notc-holders lose
nothing, because The Government has
made them secure their issues before
allowing them to circulate.
We want grccnbacks, and "plcnty Of
thcm;' but We want them issued 81
they will have fixed value. We want
the dollar Of The poor man to Do equal

Hedeeming Fractional Currency.


Afew years ago Congress passed Il bill,
prepared ana presented by Senator
Sherman, To redeem the fractional cur
rency In silver, and the whole country
.joyfully accepted it. The fractional
currency outstanding was about $50,
O0O, 900 and Of this $3l 600, 900 has been
redeemed in silver. The silver used for
the puIlo'e Is subsidiary coin, OF
pieces smaller than one dollar. The
subsidiary coin is of lower standard
than the silver dollar. For example
the half dollar contains about l73
grains standard silver; two half dollar,
contain $50 grains, which is 25la grains
or } per cent. less than a silver dollar
containing 4l2l& grains. Herr, then.
was an "act of reputation which the
gold par isans MOI only failed TO de-
nounce, but actually %applauded at the
time. According to these gentlemen,
it was perfectly Legitimate and proper
t. redeem the fractional currency in
base silver; and according to Secretary
Sherman, it would be fair to redeem
the grcenbacks ii silver not quite SC
base: but when it comes to the govern
