Government, waa to turn over to private control the privilege of making and distributing the I Nations medium of exchange. Thii error ahould be corrected f without delay. The money iaauing function! does not belong in the list of personal rights at all. It ia entirely a government duty to print its own money for ita own purposes. Every day that passes, no doubt every Congressman increaa-- . ingly feels that private control of the money in the past haa I taken an interest toll by which the American I people have loat their lands and their Lomes; and in addition have had heaped upon them a bonded debt that is an actual disgrace to any government. Our great need ia that Congress assert itself and say: this abuse of private private privilege must be ended, and every Congressman knows that the only way this increae-- 1 iug disgrace can be wiped out is for Jongreu to coin or print its own money for its own purposes.
