1.-THE Monetary Conflict"

~'''NN' |
Chase's Enquirer.
Under the above head the New York
Financial Report prints the following:
among the issues that have become
sharply defined by the friction of DO
ftical agitation, we note the now ire
Z pressible conflict between the national
bank note amt the greenback. This
has become y combat Il l'outrance, with
the adfantago decidedly in favor of
the Jank note, particularly since the
h%donal election has been decided in |
favor of the party in power We may
reasonably expect that the national |
banks, which have aided so materially
in the election of successive presidents |
since the nomination of Grant for
second term, and which have hitherto |
reaped such advantages from the price |
less services they have rendered the
Republican party, will now turn in |
their assured seat of power and crush
out the greenback by depriving it Of
its only vital quality-that of being
legal tender"
