 A writer in the San Francisco F2dg, over

 the signature of !" CumEScY,' has many very

 sensible remarks upon the subject. Follow

 Now, although it may not, on nasty

 view, be a simple matter to trace through the

 various ramifications, how this unwholesome

 state of things is due to our metallic currency,

 which enables Che gold dealers to control Us all; still it may not be amiss to state the

 remedy, supposing my views to come home to

 the minds of your readers as being just, from their own experience. Let me suggest the remedy now, and in other articles, will pur- sue the subject further, but will conclude this by calling upon the general public, the people, to arise in their power, and demand an alteration in the law the gold system has been tried and found wanting. We are all grooming under the result of our opposition to the law of all the rest of she United States , we have erred and seen our error. Let us go to work reasonably, constitutionally but de- terminately, to obtain repeal of this obnox ous law, the operation of which is running our young State for the benefit sf the rich capi- tslists who laugh in their sleeves, whilst their organs hoodwnk thoughtless people by clap-trap arguments and distorted facts to confuse the public mind in the difference be- tween currency ana capital. We have a cer- tain amount of capital ih gold, but we have also capital of labor and industry, and prop erty other than gold, and we require a cur rency to do our business with, based upon our cap ,al of all kinds, which is just as good as gold. What nonsense 1t is to suppose that we are to have no circulating medium bes ond the amount of our gold capital A man can not always have large amount of gold lying by him for an unexpected emergency, nor can he afford to pay one to three per cent. per month for the use of it, although we have been such fools as to let these gold dealers persuade us to do so, and put money in their purses for furnishing it. Let Us demand of he Government to equalize our condition by currency based upon the property 'f the nation, and which, by means of real ,anks, (not establishments for usury,) can. be advanced for business purposes at mackenzie ates of interest, not to be fuctuating with he value for speculation of gold and silver. 'ullion and coin, which can at any time be ocked up out of circulation, or made artif- islly dear ly a combination of monopoizing capitalists. Let the dplarsat speculation be s the rect speculation is, in the value of gold cccording 10 the need there is for it a- an rticle of merchandise; but let US have our 'ational currency, here as elsewhere, to cir 1 ulste and pass commodities from hand to and; it will be used fos that purpose and hat alone, will not be hoaried, buried, or ,ckcd up in anticipation of, or for the pro uction of, gold famine. This is what we l ave been having here, and had our circnla- ion been afepresentation of value, instead of i he metal itself, we should have avoided the uinous experiences of the last two years, and ! cen riclser by all the exhorbitant interest l 'e have paid usures for the loan of their lstaLn
