THE HAZARD CIRCULAR.
Slavery is likely to be abolished by
the war power, and chattel slavery
destroyed. This, l, and my Euro
pean friends are in favor of, for Sla-
very is but the owning of labor and
carries with it the care for the labor
er, while the European plan, led on
by England, is for capital to control
labor by controlling the wages. THIS
CAN BE DONE BY CONTROLL-
ING THE MONEY. The great debt
that capitalists will see to it is made
out Of the war must be used as a
means to control the volume of money,
to accomplish this the bonds must be
used as banking basis. We are now
waiting for the secretary of the treas.
ury to make the recommendation to
congress. 1t will not do to allow the
greenback, as it is called, to circulate
as money any length Of time, as We
cannot control that.
This one afterward issued by New
York bankers to national banks:
THE BUEL CIRCULAR, Oct. 6, 1877.
DEAR SIR; 1t is advisable to do all
in your power tc sustain such promi-
nent daily and weekly newspapers,
especially the agricultural and relig-
ious press, as will oppose the issuing
of greenback paper money. Let the
government issue the coin and the
banks issue the paper money of the
country, for then we can better pro-
tect each other. To repeal the law
creating natieal bank notes, or to re-
store to circulation the government
issue of money will be to provide the
people with money, and will there
fore seriously affect your individual
profit as bankers and lenders. See
your congressman at once, and engage
him to support our interests that we
may control legislation.

100000 extra for examiners. The
public printer wants 100000 extra
for a deficiency. The treasury de-
partment wants 100000 extra for
collecting duties. The land Office is
calling for $4,000 as contingent ex-
penses, and even the register Of the
treasury, who can't earn a thousand
dollars year at any business, wants
his salary raised from $1,000 to 5000.
