THE GREAT DEBATE

As to the Currency Supply Goes on
The Views of Southern Friend.
MARSHALL N. c., June 19.-Editor Rep
resentative: A few days past gentleman
passed me and handed me copy of your
valuable paper. Time only permitted me
a casual look for several days.
First read was Mr.. J. B. Coxey's letter
and reply to same signed by 81. D." That
done me 50 much good I carefully read
every word in it. and as this and Mr.. Jo-
seph Goars' and others hits the times so
square on the head with the truth, looks
like 1t should be kept in print by every
paper and journal and give every man a
chance to know the right side Of the ques-
ton. Your platform demands free and I'M
limited coinage of silver and gold, Is to l.
Right. And a per capita of $50. Right
You demand a sound government currency
and non-issuing of any more United States
bonds. If we had plenty of money there
would be no use of issuing any more
county, state or United States bonds
l note Mr.. Francis H. Clark's letter on
the currency question that is interesting.
Financial improvement from fine chairs
and cushions are first cousins to snails
To Your Consideration
Banks.
A Bank in each county and state in the
U. s.,
To be known as the
Union Of Counties and States of the T. S.
Good for all dues, private and public i'm
port and export duties, land colaterals
First let every man q years of age bond
his land to the county bank for 500 and
draw $780, record of same duly registered at
county seat; interest payable every six
months at per cent per annum, with an
unlimited time, at option of redemption of
stakeholder to lift this bond with same
hr1o
lifted, making no difference as to what
series, numbers, counties or states issued
it. You observe tiller must be good. You
also see your money is based on land, the
only solid collateral in the world of dura-
ton. One hundred cents to back it, This
per cent goes to pay for charter banking
mouse and all necessary equipments and to
pay men living salary to attend to the
business, books, etc. After this is paid
for, l per cent of this interest for school
purposes in the respective counties
and then what is left over of natural ex-
penses same to be credited to each mans
account. If you get one right all is right,
as all entries are recisely the same thing,
as no man has the ascendancy over an
other The land still remains yours. If
your land is only worth 500, give mortgage
or bond for that and draw $50 If your farm
is worth more In each case give mortgage
bond for 800 and draw $50. So likewise
with the widowed ladies and single ladies
IS years of age This money to be issued
by the respective states or at the capitol
of the United States, as may be best Now.
IN order to do this. you observe this should
be brought before the public and elect your
county representative and all state Of
fees, as we'll as United States offices. and
by two-thirds majority the president
VIII sign the repeal Of the 10 per cent mon
archical law for the privilege of banking,
and you have the thing complete, and then
ready to act. Swear your respective men
to act and vote as per your demands of
platform. and if any deviation exile for
life or have them pull hemp at the dis
erection Of the court
Also same penalty if they are bought I'M
by a lobbyist.
1t Is always safe to have your business
guarded in this trying time. Your good
Judgment sees many other points too tedi
Gus to mention.
owing to the nature of my business lust
now have no particular location Enclose
20 cents for which please send me a few
issues of your paper to this place, and later
you will hear from me as a subscriber.
With best wishes, I am very truly yours,
J. ]. CAMPBELL,
