Are the Germans Wrong i'm Want
fu ing our bonds?

MS OAAH 1bOnuS u
Not bit of No shrewder, thriftieI
people, in matters of money, exist on earth
Our Jersey people and New England people
are frugal, industrious people, but they
can't save money like the Germans. All
Germany is great savings bank. tits true
that their working men are not so rich, on an
average, as our working men, because they
don't get more than one quarter of the wages
of our men. But German can save money,
and he knows when it is safe. Now these
shrewd, thrifty Germans want our bonds.
They want them by millions. They turn
aside from the great beggars of the world in
Europe, and come to us Republicans. They
treat the notes of Napoleon and Joseph and
Maximilian with Indifference, but want to
discount all the American notes they can
get The London Times says this is all
wrong-that The Republicans in America
are all bankrupt, and the Germans must be
crazy to slight British and French beggars,
and go begging, themselves, to America.
Are they crazy? We asked Poor
Richard what he thought about it.
"Why," said he, show can they be
crazy, when they are doing Just what
i did q little more than year ago,
when 9nput my little savings into
Government six per cents? Now see
what have got by it; just countaup. I
have received six per cent. in gold, which
averaged 100per cent. in currency, making
IL per cent income. Now, to-day, my
bond is salable in the New York market at
10 per cent. premium. Put these together,
and to-day have 22percent. for one years
use of my money! What do you think Of
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-09-22

The Queen of Spain is almost as bad as
Washburne in prosecutions of newspapers.
QUEEN Victoria made $4,000 by preparing
her dead husbands letters for publication.
That's modern royalty.
FORMERLY the symbol of this government
was U. S,-meaning Us, the people. Now
it is " |" written on the small of mems backs,
meaning 81, Abraham Lincoln"
Mr.. LINCOLN is evidently intending to
give his personal superintendent to mil
itary operations. Hehceforth he will have
his 81" upon every soldier in the army.
OUR soldiers will hereafter not be liable to
a surprise from the rear. Each man is
henceforth to have an II" in the small of
his back, by order of A. Lincoln.
