Within the next month or two, il
promises are kept, our citizens will
witness the greatest revolution that
has eyer been made in the size and
appearance OF paper money in the
United States. Each one Of the
1000, ZOO, 900 notes of that kind now
in circulation will be supplemented
by uniform pieces Of currency about a
quarter size smaller than that now
used. II the comment occasioned bv
the parcel post, rural free delivery
and every other innovation Uncle
Sam has made in the last 20 years
could be rolled into one, it would not
bring forth tenth part OF the popu-
lar interest which will be manifested
when the people realize that each and
every piece Of paper money il to be
changed. That day will sound the
doom Of the cUunterfeiter who now
raises a one to ten, ten TO a twen-
ty, twenty to fifty dollar hill, or IN
fact, misrepreseDts anv denomination.
The value OF the new bill will be ap-
parent on sight. Any note with
Washington's portrait will be ST.;
Jefferson's 81; LiDcoln's s5; Grover
Cleveland's $40; Alexander Hamil-
tons go; Andrew Jackson's $50;
Franklin's 800; John Marshal's 5000,
and so on. 1t would then be utterly
impossible for forger TO boost a one
dollar bill TO ten-dollar bill, as is so
frequently done, becaus within few
months after the system has been in
vogue every man. woman and child
will have learned that George Wash
ington's picture stands FOR 81 ami not
$40. We will then have the safest
and simplest system of national cur
rency in the world.
