Fight for State Banks.

John l.. Williams, of Richmond
Va is a citizen who does his own
thinking but we are tempted to be.
Iieve that be is a diligent reader OF
The Greenvilie News because bis
political views are precisely those
held and expressed by this great and

State banks of issue with their
notes made safe by uniform federal
laws and supervision
No subsidies.
Reduction of the standing army to
police and nucleus basis.

force on militia system supervised
and literally supported by the federal
government.
This is sound democratic doctrine,

Ships, nowadays, are made of
steel; steel is made of iron ore and
coke and limestone; all of these
things exist in great natural
abundance in this country; we
have surplus of people eager to
mine and quarry the essential
materials; we have the finest
skilled labor in the world capable
of turning it into steel, and of
turning the steel into ships; we
have the money in abundance with
which to run the ships, and we
have a great foreign trade worth
nearly two billions of dollars
annually to carry-what, then, IS
there to stop US from doing our
own carrying once we begin?
We shall not be able to begin,
however, until Congress says the
word.
