If it were practicable to isk every

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

Various platis ok relief have been anid

ink, are mischievous ad dlangerons,
it they aire all sviptoms of disease,
popular discontent, and inrest.
lhese coiplaint.s of the pl-ople are nri
tiginary. They are well tmindted and t
med on a deep-seated catip. Our li I
icial system and pAlicy 1 dtf40!l ive,
-jrist, ruinous to large chsses oft the 1
ople. It viabiles a few ceiters and a I
w persons to get possession of the
rrency and i-Ad it, 1ron millions of' i
eir fellow-citizens tipon their own
rm11s. It enables them to hoard the
oney of the cmnt.ry. atid say how

riis. Yott may say that this will be
ie finder any system, bit the lilnaln
il history of this couitry does not
stain the prop,)sition. It was never
lie prior to lauJ -when the national
.uking system went into operation,
d the national government delegted
a few persons the power t.o issue the
.rrency for all the people-except
.ch as iL reserveil to itself the exciu.
Ve right to issue.
I have no war to make on the nation
banks. I have conceded their value
fit advantages. They were vattuable
(1s to the govern inent at tiht timlw
iey were orgaitized, hut they have

There are only two statements of mo

there was a bargain of which Ilayes
was cognizant. lie concludes his paper
As follows.
"The whole case is in substance this:
Mr. Haves' interests as claimant to the
Presideincy were the greatest possible.
I'hey were inextricably bound up with
he Interests of his warty, to his party

itipporters. Offices, eiotinents, honors

it the South were all at stake. The re
