lease.

the Penitentiaay and promised Cannon, who is
confined there, to use their influence to pro-
cure his release. The Gentiles here are indig-

TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST IL.

searching them for every strange note? The
sharpest bankers and dealers lost something
every year by taking bad notes. One keen bus
mess man kept the bad notes taken by him for
five years before the war. They made roll as
thick as mans arm, and pretended to be
worth more than small farm. BY lar the
greater part of the loss fell upon the millions
of workingmen and plain people, VINO na Ni
small chance to protect themselves. some iost
money by counterfeits, some by noteS Oh banks
that never existed, some by notes OF banks that
never were good, many by notes OF banks that
failed. Much has been said OF the panlcs and
great disasters caused by bad banks, but all the
losses at such times of special distress were
small, compared with the constant waste and
loss, day by day, and year by year. which no
history records and no man can measure.
Not man has ever lost dollar by holding
note of the kind we now use. Great loss there
has BEEN because those notes were not SO good
at one time as at another, but that is now ended.
For the first time we have currency the worth
of which bankers, money-dealers and exchange
brokers cannot fix as they please, at one rate
for one place and another for another 1t Is
uniform, fair to all, and so well guarded that
no man looks to see whether the note he takes
is one of the United States or OF some bank
near or far off All the notes are at all places
and at all times as good as gold, because the
holder can at any time get legal-tenders for
bank notes and gold for legal-tenders. What
reason is there for going back to the use OF
notes which were not good anywhere, and not
uniform even in their badness?
