ADe easy transactiou OF, the sSUuSfJfeS5 done
within its borders yorssshouldsr empower its
citizens to supplystheir.o own needs in this
respect in the. most simple and advantage eous
manner practicable. y
This plan to repeal the tax of 10 per cent
upon al bills issued by other than national
bauks, and the establishment of State banks
of issue, is prac icable it decentralizes the
money power: it will prevent the control of
the currency by a few it meets the appro-
baton Of more people than any other
scheme; and it localizes our currency.
First, the tendency of these bank notes
will be towards home and not away from il =,
and in this will differ from any paper note
new in existence.
Second, when out of active use they will
go into the bank for redemption. aud not
accumulate at Chicago or New York to breed
unhealthy speculation.
Third, they will always be on hand to move
the crops because they will lodge at home
While we do net think the above plan will
give our people all the money that they
need, it is certainly stcp in the right
direction. 1t can be given experiment,
and amended from time to time as the ex-
igencies Of the country may demand. But
wo are glad to see that our Democratic

'cial reform, for it is a happy omen for the
success of our party in the agricultural
