citizens will become vastly more

general between the people Of the
various nations hence the money for
convenience OF travellers especially
should be simplifed instead Of re-
naming so confusing and so difficult

a universal standard would mate

with the complications now caused
by each country having its own coin

some other method Of settliag our

crude and unecOnomic method of
gold shipments. Why send gold to

ceived by the officers OF the Amer

demonstrate the fact that a Ia

Oppose Injunctions.
Another tendency is the growing

The congress of the United States
has voiced this opposition in amend

The stock market stood up against

may have been accounted FOR by be-

were exceptionally prosperous, or
further than the market itself was in
