[Written for the North Georgia L'ltlacn.] To tlio Commercial Convention, to moot tu Louisville on tho tilth Oetohor. Tho Sonata's Committee of l-'innnce, lu their report of tho 17th December, 1907, imi.v: It should bo the effort of Congress not merely to declare tmd obey tho existing law, but to ndopt a comprehensive policy that will preserve tho nubile faith, restore confidence to tho people, stability to our business interests.iiiidyetwlllappeal to tho sense ot' Justice of our constituents, if it is unhappily drawn Into tho nretin of party polities. Financial matters ought not to lie in any senso partisan, but they may be come so. Unless Congress can adopt n policy meeting nil tho requisites nnmed, tho contest on these most difficult ques tions may lie transferred to thu hustings, where the heat of party strlfu may lend to dangerous results,’’ The snmo Committee say: “Your commllteo are therefore of opin ion that no legal tender notes beyond the nmount now limited by law, should bo is sued under any pressure of financial or political necessity, until they nro convert ible into gold nml silver. Our duty Is to elevate tho ‘greenback,’ the standard of national credit, to the standard of gold, tho money of tho world. Until then we nro not on a substantial foundation. Let us make the dollar of our promise, in tho pocket of a laboring limn, equal to tho dollar of the mint. The rapidity of tho process Is a question of public policy. It inny bo by-gradually diminishing the vol ume of currency, or be left nt Its present, until increased business or Improved cred it bring it up to tho specie standard.” Such is the theory of nil Influential, if not-n controlling, part of tile present Con gress!! Such Is their plan of elevating the “greenback, the standard of national cred it, to the standard of gold, ” which they de clare to bo “tho money of the world.”— Such Is their plan fur maintaining tho value of national credit, and regulating tho value of our money The Constitution gives to Congress pow er “to coin money, regulate tho value thereof, and of forciijn coin, and fix the standard of weights and monsures. ” Tho Constitution requires Congress to regulate tho value of national credit, and the value of foreign coin. The purpose of the Con stitution was to create an American mon ey atid to regulate tho value of foreign coins, by the value of American money thus to be created. The States bad issued paper money which they liml made a le gal tender. The Constitution provides that no Stale Bhnll coin money, emit bills of credit, nr make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; but It does not prohibit the issue of bills ofcrihjltlpupor money) by Congress, nor does ft forbid Congress to make tlio bills t-vb. D. n. slows, of credit (paper money), issued by C011- J J Kixu. s ya. Daitoh, gress, a tender In payment of debts. The power td issue “greenbacks,” and to make them a legal tender, is admitted by tlio lommilt'-c. The pucstion is not tlntpow- :r or die expediency of issuing paper nton- y—it is how to regulate its value. The 'ommiltcc would reduce the sum in circu lation until the value of n paper dollar shall be equal to the value of n gold dollar. Tho National Labor Union, iu tliclr Convention, held In New York In Septem ber, 1808, adopted a platform from which the following Is an extract: “We further hold that while these lin M aiik I..

The first and most im portant step towards the establishment of the rights of labor is the institution of a system of co-operation between non-pro- (lucing capital and labor. That to effect this most desirable object, money,.the me dium of distribution io capital and labor, must be instituted upon such a wise and I just principle, that instead of being a pow er to concentrate the wealth in the hands of a few bankers,'usurers, middlemen and non-producers generally, it shall bo a power that will distribute products to con sumers, in accordance with the labor or service performed in their production.— The servant and not the master of labor. * * * * hold that tills can Iks ef fected by the issue of Treasury notes, made a legal iemlcr lit the payment of all debts, public and private, and convertible, nt the option of the holder, into government bonds, bearing a just rate of interest, suf- Llmrh'stnn, s. c.

They arc op posed to the present system of National Ranks, because its tendency is to concen trate, in the hands of a privileged few, the profits created by productive labor. Tho Senate's committee say: u Jt is impossible to overstate the im portance ot these questions. Next to the existence of government itself, and the se curity of personal rights, coma tho pro tection of property, tho preservation of the public credit, the adjustment of taxes, and the regulation of tho currency. Near ly all the legislation of peace Is the legisla tion of finance. Tlio action of Congress on these subjects afreets the value of all property in the United States; the reward of nil labor; tlio incomo of the rich; tho wages of the poor; the pension of the wid ow; the enterprise and -industry of all classes of our peopic, and thus touches the homo and heart of every person in tho U.

Believing with thoSenata’s Commllteo that “Finance matters ought not to bo iu any sense partisan,” I care fully refrained from every word or urgm ment, which, being properly considered, will tend to provoke partisan objections, and tlie Memphis Convention having em bodied It with their proceedings, I beg lenvo respectfully to ask your further co operation, and thattho printed Memorial, with the accompanying address to the people of tlio United States, be referred to a committee with instructions to coushlcr and report upon tlio propriety of adopting a resolution asking Congress to enact thu bill submitted in tho Memorial, and also to consider nnd report upon tho plan sug gested of national subscriptions in aid of tlio construction of I tail Hoads, and to suggest such measures, or proceedings, pn tlie part of tho Convention ns may bo deemed expedient to secure an efficient co operation iu tlie efibrt to obtain from Con gress the legislation requisite to achieve tlie objects contemplated by tho Memorial. Wliat those objects arc may he briefly stated: 1. Tlie issue of a national currency which shall be a legal tender, and convert ible at the will of the bolder into four per. cent convertible Bonds. 1. Tlie bonds to be payable ill nntional currency, at tho pleasure of the govern ment, nml convertible at tlio will of tho holder Into currency. !).

The Bnnk notes not to lie a legal tern dcr, nnd consequently not receivable in payment of public dues, hut convertible, ut'tho will of tho holder, Into national cur rency, which shall be lawful money of tho United States, 5. In ease any bank shall fail Ip. give specie, currency, or four per ceiit bonds In payment for their notes, when demauded in sums of fifty dollars or any multiple of fifty dollars,- it shall bo the duty ortho Treasurer of the United States, upou reas onable mitieo of protest, to give tho na tional currency or four per cents or specie therefor, and charge the same, with the cost of protest, to the defaulting Bunk. 0. plat the Secretary of the Treasury bo authorised to issue a “Jievcmic Curren cy’’ for nil nmount equal to the customs duties, nnd other current annual Hevonuo, which shall be receivable on a par with specie in payment of all public dues what soever, nnd to givo tho Revenue Currency at par in exchange for specie, Which shall he used iu payment of tho prescut spccio debt. 7. That so much of the several acts of Congress ns provided for the assessment uml collection of Internal Revenue, except as much ns provides for tho assessment and collection of the tax on cigars, and on tobacco, and on distilled spirits, and on incomes, be repealed, nml that for all pay ments on customs duties nnd for taxes made, in tlio “7?ccentre Currency,” tlicro shall be allowed and paid to tlie tax payer in national currency, or in four per cent convertible bonds, such drawback as Con gress may from time to time allow, nml until other wire provided, that drawback slmll not bo less than fifty per cent on the sums paid.

A causual peep Into tlm Prayer-books which lie scnltorcd about in tho pews of somo of our fashionable churches reveals tho fact that what has hitherto been look ed upon only ns a means uf communica ting with God may lie made the channel for nt least four tilings which have a.very remote connection wllli religion, vlnt crit icism, love-making, gossip gAU poetry.— Under tlie first heading: "Who Is that gentleman that has just camo in with An- nio Brown?” "I don’t know, but slio looks like n nerfeot fright hi that sheperd- ess lint, withHint great bunch of curls underneath, livo shades lighter than her own lmir;” or this, In a fair, clerky hand: “I wonder whether that old gentloman in tlio gown is going to prenoli all night?”— (X. B.—This reverent remark 1ms refer ence, of course, to the officiating olorgy- mnn.) Under tlio second heading: “Docs your mn know you nro out?” “No, but my sweetness does!” “You needn’t go to-night when pa shuts up tho house; he always docs that nt nine o'clock,” “you bet.’ 1 (Tills touching conversation Is car ried on through t lie medium of a lend pon- cll, ami tlie replies are wrllleit in a bold, masculine hand, with many flourishes,). Under thu third bending, “Just look nt Mary in a pink silki Site is thirty if she is a day, nnd will be wearing bibbs next.” “Hilo lias turned her dress and died It.” (These rcmnrks are made in a line, point ed lmndwriting, which betrays tlio wri ter’s sex.) Under the fourth heading we find .various fragmentary verses, which were certainly not taken from Watt’s Hymns, such os “If yon love me ns Ilove etc.; or. “Perdition catch my soul, Ido love thee;” or, “Would thou wort mine own, love. ” If pcoplo will be snere- llgtous, Miy not attach slates to every pew nnd pay tlie sexton a small fco to dnmpcn the sponge every Sunday just before tlie service begins? Seriously speaking, it is time for such evidences of Irreverence nud ill-breeding to cease.
