kind enough to grant me space in vour valua
ble paper sufficient to vindicate my dead father
from the groundless imputations that are being
cast upon him by tbe country papers of your
ftate, in tbe future I will spare you so far as I
am concerned. As the AUegan Journal baa
denied mo this privilege. I would request edi
tors who bave published articles relating to
this subject to copy tbig one also, so that the
ruthc may bave both aides of the case beforo
pronouncing tbe verdict.
There appeared in tho Allegan Journal of the
lath mht., a compiled article, under the caption
of"Moaea II a wkB 'Financial Ileform,"' which
uoubties would, if left unncticed, create a

are short of money not because there is not
enough, but because they bave nothing to
offer for it.
This doctrine of inflating the currency by
issuing an unlimited amount of greenbacks
reminds ua of ono Moses Hawks, who used to
livo over in Allegan and run a newspaper and
a shingle shanty. Tho newspaptr waa run
during the period of publishing the tax lists
and Mobos shaved shingles the ret of tbe
year. Hawks was a great man in that burgh
and as currency was scarce in tho community
because no one bad anything to purcbaBO it
with, a bright Idea struck him. ne went into
bia office ono morning and printed a large
batch of promises to pay quarters, halvea and
dollars and occupied himself for several days
in affixing the autograph of Moyea Hawks to
every one of them. Hawk, tbat ia. Moses
was now a wealthy man and pobaeBed of un
limited resources. Ho bought evervthini? nf
fored for sale, and paid Lib new currency, and
also loaned to bis neighbors. Tho thing work
ed like a charm until tax time, when something
bettor was required. Everybody bad sold their
"truck" and taken Hawks' currency mpay
meat. Tbe people flocked to Hawks and de
manded redemption. He redeemed by issuing
a new batch of scrip and more of it. Prior to
this the scrip bad passed currently among tbe
people, but the new issue bad so inflated the
"currency" the people refused to receive it
longer, it having become so plentiful aa to bo
worthless. Merchants and dealers bad sold
their goods for the stuff, but could not buy
more with it. Hawks was bankrupt and could
not redeem, and the people were in a bad
plight. One morning a straneer nrfntArl
himself to Hawks and demanded that be should
redeem some that ha (tho stranger) bad re
ceived at Saugatuck. wbero be had boon to look
aftor soma business matters. Hawks declined
the accommodation. The stianger then asked :
" This is good, is it not, Mr. Hawks '.' " " Good I

"But. Mr. Hawks, you redeem, don't you

Tbia is the original story which was widely
