WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Con
gresham De La Matyr, in an in
terview with a newspaper man, re
plying to q question as to the polio
of the Greenback party, said: L

legal tender currency of the Gov
ernment not only kept where it i:
but increased to volume necessar
to transact the business of the coun
try. We desire the retirement {
the National Bank notes, but W
have no objection to the Nations
Banking system. 1t is mistals
common enough for people to SUI
pose we want the banks wipe
out, We have no objection to tn
system, except so far as n
CARDS the circulation. We wan
the Government only to issu
money. Then we want unlimite
coinage of silver-not hundreds {
millions of dollars, or any state
sum, but what we want Is sllve
placed on an equality with gold O
the mint. We want the nationi
debt paid with silver, and nor
interest bearing debt, If we are
have any debt at all. Anothe
common error is that we advocal
fiat money-an unlimited amour
of irredeemable currency. That
not true at all. We want the ci
culating medium fixed ut SUI
equal to the demands of our con
merce. L would rather have
per capita fixed than an irreguli
circulation"
