MONEY.
The people Of the United States are en-
titled TO sound, staple currency. ami I,

opposed TO the policy and practice o.
other civilized States, nor is Il justified
In permitting an exaggerated and un.
reasonable reliance on our national
strength and ability to ieopardize The
sonndness Of the peoples money. This
matter rises above The plane OF party
politics. II vitality concerns every bust.
ness and calling, and is Of interest to
every household 10 the land.
Here is one important aspect Of the
subject which especially should never be
overlooked. At the same time like the

II Is Of the Utmost Importance such
