BEST METHOD OF PERFECTING BILL.
The proposition having been
lishei that a safe, sound, and stable
currency , that will pass on a parity
wim goiu, can oe issued on the great
staple cropland that flexibility or elas
ticity in the volume of the currency
of the country will tend to promote
me staouuy ot prices and keep down
the rates' of interest, we 'pass next to
the consideration of the best method
of accomplishing this much desired
result. Jt would not be difficult to de
vise a system based on the lin 3 sug
gested by the Farmers'. Alliance that
would require no large expenditure of
government funds and no great change
in the present methods of conducting
business.
Jt would be easy enough to permit
uny; responsible company to establish
a warehouse, and to give bond to th
government that it would issue no re '

A NEW SUGGESTION.
Now, if it can be demonstrated by
discussion that all this can be done
mrougn a currency issued on the great
staple crops without carrying the gov
ernment into either the warehouse or
banking business, I am satisfied the
farmers would promptly accept such
a modification of their views nri
every productive interest in the whole
country could be- brought into a
and harmony on the subject. The
short road to this end is for the d-ov-
ernment to establish at least one Sub-
