The Right Kind of Money.

We hold to the opinion so often exi pressed, that this country can never be permanently prosperous while its money circulation Is limited, and the little that there is, under the control of the money mongers of the country. The only safe money of a people Is that which the people create themselves and decree they will use. As long as they have confidence in themselves, and as long as they themselves use their own money and are satisfied with it, the other nations *of the earth will respect it in proportion to their respect for the commercial strength, and their confidence in the moral unrightness, of the nation. Money should be only a medium of exchange. It should have no intrinsic value, because then it becomes subject to the eternal law of supply antkdemand, and may vary accordingly. Furthermore, when a commodity, under our present system, it may be corralled, controlled and cornered by a few men and made abnormally i scarce or dear. This age demands a money for the sons and daughters of men, not a money for the few who may use it, for the impoverishment and . enslavement of the many.—Progressive Age.
