democratic party proposes to undo, VIII JUSTIFY
this option.
The republican party, during the civil war
devised national currency, consisting of
CnitedSta.es notes. issued and redeemable by
the government. and OF national bank notes
based upon the security of United States bonds.
A tax was levied upon the issues OF state banks
and the intended result, that all such issues
should be Withdrawn, was realized There are
men among rs now who never saw a state bank
note. The notes furnished directly and in
directly By the United States have been the
only and tbs safe and acceptable paper currency
Of the people. Bank failures have brought no
fright. delay or loss to the bill holders. The
note Of an insolyent bank is good and as cur

but IN some foreign countries.
