ED. INTELLIGENCER Permit few
words upon the timely question which
Port Madison correspondent desires
answered, to wit How it may be
practicable to increase the volume of
currency equal to $50 per capita 2"
I" How and for what purposes can it be
paid ont p We propose that the Gov
eminent shall issue this volume of cur.
rency-a full legal tender for all debts
and dues-just as it issued the first sixty
millions of greenbacks for its soldiers ::
just as it issues postage stamps, revenue
stamps, or anything else which it Gre
ates, and says that it shall fill such and
such field of service for its people.
We propose that this volume of money
shall be paid out for bullion, for specie,
for labor, for services. for securities. or
for anything else which the Govern
ment may require or the people de-
mand, and that it shall stay out, when
it gets ort. Look over the United
States and see the vast area of land

The Government has outstanding

SIX per cent. bonds, now subject to call.
aud Si01 100000 more that will be
payable inside of three years. 1t could
and should use the army greenbacks
it may issue in paying these bonds. To
ask what the Government could do with
more money is as absurd as to ask
what man heavily in debt could do
with money. The Government should
stop boarding any kind of money, and
should put every dollar il has of gold,
silver, or greenbscks to the use of OK.
