This came very near the ideal cur
rency. Some might think it should
have a legal tender" clause, but
doubt its necessity. When a nation
will receive its own currency at full
par for every obligation due it, its citi-
zens will do the same thing, provided
the government is a stable one. The
credits of the Bank of Venice were
maintained at above gold value for
several consecutive centuries-until
the government fell before Napoleon.
We now have numerous kinds Of
currency. Please read carefully the
text on all the different kinds Silver
certificates, gold certificates, green
backs" national bank notes, treasury
notes, United States notes, etc., and
then consider something like the fol-
lowing, appropriately embellished by
the finest steel engraving, as substi-
tute for all the different kinds of cur
rency now in circulation:

On the reverse side there might be
a form to be filled, stating to whom
each individual bill was paid, and what
Service or materially the government
received In return for same.
In the present depleted condition OF
the treasury, why not issue few mil
lion dollars of the above as an expert
ment? It would soon be proven that
gold is not necessary as a basis. Bal
ancing the pyramid on the little end
has always led to panics and disasters.
Call the above currency bonds If you
wish Clearing no INTEREST,". Do you rea-
lie that If our national bonds drew no
interest they would go into circulation
as money, and be blessing instead Of
a burden? Place interest upon green
backs" or postage stamps, and they
would be taken from the channels Of
business and locked up as investments.

Sounds Like Sarcasm.

Extract from Gov. Sheldon's mes
sage:
wv. w. Taylor, our eficient and
faithful outgoing treasurer, is entitled
to the thanks of the people for the zeal
and energy with which he has at all
times displayed in the management OF
his Office, and 1t is a matter Of pride
to him, as to the state officers with
whom he has been associated for the
past two years, that he leaves the pub
lie service. carrying with him the I'M
bounded respect Of those who had
known his business methods and his
desire to preserve the credit of the
state"
He carried with him not only the I'M
bounded respect Of those who had
known his business methods but all Of
the states money as well. Sheldon
