20 Urie the Importance or Parins STATE
Dues in Money.
The following correspondence is oi
importance TO all OF our people, and
fully explains itself:
To The President and Directors Of M,
Chamber Of Commerce
Dear Sirs.-Whereas the Circuit
Court Of the United States has recently
issued an Injunction to restrain the OF
fcers Of this State from refusing TO re-
ceive coupons for payment OF taxes
thereby requiring them to receive the
said coupons in payment Of taxes. not
withstanding the laws Of this State
which prohibit them from doing So and
it is believed that whenever a case can
be made up and carried to the Supreme
Court Of the United States this decision
of the Circuit Court Of the United
States will be reversed and whereas
the decision of the said Circuit Court
of the United States is greatly preju-
dicial to the interests Of the State OF
Virginia, and is calculated, if not re-
versed, to bring about another agitation
Of the public debt,
We, the undersigned. therefore re-
spectfully urge and request that you
will call a meeting Of the tax and
newspapers of this city and urge
upon them the Importance of paying
their dues to the State in money instead
of coupons, and foregoing any tempo
rary gain that may be made by paying
in coupons, which cannot be done with
out entailing great loss upon the State
and making the State debt again an is
sue in politics.
