Show THE NEW PAPER MONEY. The new paper money which the government will distribute about July 1, will look surprisingly small. Bills only six and 6-16 inches long, and two and 11-16 inches wide, will not seem as if they could do much work at the grocery store. Before the war old Dollar Bill looked look-ed quite respectable, as you offered him to the tradesman. But now, does he d'o a decent days work when you send him for your food and clothing? cloth-ing? He does not, and he can not complain if he is required to occupy less space in your limited purse. Pictures of our most famous statesmen states-men will decorate the new money. We must pay some respcet to Dollar Bill, since George Washington is not too proud to occupy the seat of honor on his face. Every Republican will gather in all the two dollar bills he can find though they carry the picture of Jefferson, founder of the Democratic Democra-tic party. And no Democrat will decline de-cline to accept your fiver with its cut of Abe Lincoln, arguing that the boy who rose from the log cabin proves the truth of Democratic theory. |
