Cheap Confederate Money

A southern firm advertises 15 varieties of Confedérate bilis for 25 cents, also a ' 'rare collection of 50 different bilis and shinplasters for only $2. ' ' Apparently the firm has millions of dollars worth of thia money for sale cheap. What a pity that our oíd fogy constitution is in tüe way! But for it the cheap money advocates in any state where they have a majority conld buy up this whole Confedérate outfit and start in business at once. The amount of prosperity and happiness that could be extracted from this old paper mine would depend upon the size (population) of the state fortúnate enough to secure the monetary outfit. For instance, it would probably give Nevada more than $1, 000 per capita and would at once transform her from ono of the poorest to one of the wealthiest of states. Instead of sagebrush and prizefights she would teem with grauaries and warehouses. Down with a constitution which prevents state home rule in monetary affairs and the manifold blessings of cheap money!
