Air. 'rosideil, I pro C0 pose to discuss this question in a sIpirit ji. of perfect t iankness, with no prile of' opinioW but with t he sole obj it, of e i deavoring to afford r-elf i1) the peple. m and wit I I lie hope of secti ri ii for it 1 that carel'iii consideiat ion so essential n to a clear iiderstiding of the relation p it bears to the economic (Iestionis flow ki agitatinr the co1utry. It should not it be flouted by t e Coiniittee lon Fiiice of this body beCiHe soIe of its mem- tl bers enterlain views in opp-isition to Ia the princip!es involved, or to the en( at sought to be obtained. 'Thie people n want the subject fairly anld fully con- re sidered, andi their wishes are entitled to respect. If it were practicable to isk every maleadult in the I tll ed Stales whether " in his opinion, the volume of our cur- l? rency is stiflicient to meet the reasoii- ui able dmanids of biniiess, seven-tent h, Lt perhaps eight-tenths of them), would of answer in the negative. And if the ex same persons coubi be interrogated as .o whether, under our present linam- er cial system, there is a fair and equita- m ble distribution of what cirreicy we S( have, nine-t-nths of them would ai- i swer in the iiegative. I mean by a iir and equitable distribtition, such a dis o tribution, as that every honest. man pr would five it in his power to procure a1s mntuch money as his credit at.d cir- 4s1 cuistances would just,ily, and he coold ()1 prolitably use in his business and do- til iestic concerns. thi According to our present tinincial i policy the greater part, of I lie circula- by tion is peri >mically drawn away Irotio il 4 the p)eople and hoarded in coimmercial Cr adfinancial oentres, to be let out d1 again upon such teris, in stich t amiomiiits, andl whenever those who control It m-ky determine. As matters now go millions of men can not get of nioney for their legitiiniate biisiness Pn transactions, however good their credit A3 or inanciil standing, ecaise the cur- y rency irtnot within their reach, or it p< within reach, is beld with such severe vL legal restrictions s i a large eiv;mtre er to dest roy its iisofu laess. bi I aml not one of those dreamers who it hols t i,it therk!

The idea of It person with a hitnl e fu|l of sense torginr the nan )1 a Inewspaper man is laiugiable in the xt,rene; but I am willing that the mublic shoutl-i kno w t he whole tita uh Lhout that "Craddock" Ieti ter: Mr. ames 11.
