well enough; but the officers will please
to remember that the people at home have
some interest in the perpetuity of our free
institutions. and that men do not act con-
trary to their own interests.
Resolved, That we regard any attempt
to injure or depreciate the value of the
currency of the Government, in which the
soldier is paid, as direct blow at the
soldier and his family, and a stab at the
very vitals of the Government itself, con-
duct of which no one friendly to the per-
petuation of our free institutions and the
would be guilty. aa
Good! Good!! But who is doing it?
Is il. the man who predicted six months
ago. that gold would command from so to
rs per cent. in Government paper, or those
who persist in issuing over two thousand
millions of paper currency, thus, by over
issuing, increasing the price of gold? Had
the bonds of the Government been sold,
even at considerable discount, aud the
soldiers paid in par funds, the loss by the
discount on the bonds would have fallen
upon the whole people, and not upon the
creditors Of the Government and the SOL
diers. But a different policy has pre-
vailed and now the poor private soldiers
family cannot buy with his thirteen dol
lars per month as much as they could
twelve.or eighteen months ago with eight
dollars. And yet men are to be denounc-
ed for having predicted and trying to pre-
vent this state Of affairs. OH you must
