Now that the silver question is settled, and
we are to have the dollar of our dads, let the
Greenback question be agitated and settled
also. The prosperity and progress ola nation
depends, to great extent, upon the ease by
which the exchange of commodities can be
effected. Now it follows that any impcdi-
ment, either natural or artificial, that is
thrown in the wav OF Tree exchange of COM
modities among our own people is detriment
to the nation. And isn't the scarcity ola CIR
culating medium the greatest artificial inlped-
imcnt that can be placed in the way OF q free
exchange of commodities Then why should
the prosperity of this nation depend upon the
supply OF the precious metals when It is tact
that there is not one-half enough OF those
to do the business OF the country.
