THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
A few days ago paper was received b.
the Secretary OF the Greenback Club at thi
place, petitioning Congress to make no de
. in repeating the resumption act and
putting stop to the further destruction o
the peoples money. We sent back the pc
tition with the signature ofevery solid ma,
in the neighborhood. II there are petition
going the rounds for the re-enactment o
the income tax, and the re~toration of tn
paper fractional currency, we will sigI
them too.
Ibelieve it is the policy Of the Govern
ment to impose the

and what luxury is greater thas a goot

inquirer, has not lately been in good
health; at all events We seldom hear rom
him.
The other day an enterpriing map pub
Usher at Chicago sent me DOte, inquiring
about Loring. For the benefit Of politi-
clans, commercial travellers, and Eastern
people about to 60 West and grow up with
the country, he wanted that place correctly
and conscieniiously located on his forth

albeit there is a suggestion of the aborigines
in the first syllable. We chose the name
"Loring" because it was unique in the P o.
directory; and, then, it is neither a long
name to write, nor bad one to spell, like
Tonganoxie, or susceptible of a variety OF
