Each pupil had the choice of representing a wealthy busi- ness man, or a farmer of about that period. The best in each case are be- low. They contributed by Martha Spring, and Erwin Larson. Box 415 Punkinconter, N. Y. Jan. 26, 1790 Dear Si; I ain't heard thy much about this here plan you call a Funding Bill, but I dont want it. I had three 10f these here government bonds and some critter on horseback came out here and bought the whole bunch fer fifty cents. I payed three hundred dollars for them bonds and I thought they were- n't worth anything and when a man came out and offered me fifty cents for three pieces of paper, I thought he was crazy. But I wasn't goin' to argue with him so I sold 1em to him and now I find out he's gettin' six dollars apiece each year fer tem. I am writing this letter fer tall the folks here in town and they say fer you to vote against it 'cause they think it ainit fair fer the people who - bought the bonds from to get the money that should be theirs. The whole town sends greetings. Yours truly, Joshua Hayseed Dear Representatives; I am a well to do East New Yorker and I think that the Funding Bill should be passed because I think that it is the only way that public credit can be sustained. No country could endure unless its people and foreign countries have confidence in its gov- ernment and assurance that it will pay its debts. We are greatly in need of confidence at home and abroad. The soldiers who fought and se- cured for us our independence should be given assurance that our debts to them will be paid. We cannot encourage or stimulate foreign tarde unless foreign countries have confidence in our ability to pay our debts. The exchange of bonds will revive business and put a lot of money in circulation, The people will gain more confidence in their government and more goods will be bought and sold. gold and silver will start to cir- culate among the people, and business Will soon become prOSperous. Therefore I hope you will cast your vote for and not against the Funding Bill. Respectfully yours. Erwin Larson
