Be Independent.

Our gold, silver and paper money are intended for home circulation, and when the difference between our exports and imports is settled it takes the shape of an exchange of American and English securities as the case may be. Everybody knows that if our gold goes to England it is held as a commodity and does not get into circulation side by side with English sovereigns. Then, why adopt the English gold standard? England did not quit trading with us when we had only paper currency, and she is not likely to do it when we have gold, silver and paper.—Exchange.
