Io proclims that Stato Sovoroignty s "ifi doctrine, aud that tho States may mecodo at will. “ Dut, wmving this queation, the ono which now itmmnediately intorests tho poople most s that of the finauces, ''his question now claims tho at- tentlon of every clavs of our people.

Some of theso farmers claim that 3 por cont intorest is too much ; they-say 2 per cent intorest, avith tho pledgoof the Govornmont to redeem {he noto and intercst in gold in two yenta, would bo enough. 'Tliese partios hold that tlus plan would gavo tho Goverument thoexpenso of mak- ing any now form of paper or bonds just now ; and that, inatend of contracling the volumo of money, it would nctuslly expand it to tho oxtont of tho'interost allowed; that its own poopls would havo tho benefit of this interost; aud that, insido of & year and a hulf, our greoubacks would bo ns good'n gold.
