R0y~ On the back of the greenbacks
are engraved these words, This note is
legal tender for all debts, except duties
on imports and interest on the public
debt; and is receivable in payment of
all loans made to the United States, ="
The northwestern papers argue that
these notes are legal tender in pay
ment of bonds Of the United States, be-
cause those bonds constituted the chief
public debt, and are not one of the ex.
cepted cases. The fact that the interest
is excepted, proves that the principal is
not, or there would be no reason for the
distinction. Why the bondholder should
receive gold, when it costs 81 40 to buy
dollar in gold, and be exempt from all
taxes on his bonds at the same time,
and another citizen, for debt due him,
be compelled to take the paper at par,
and pay taxes all the time on all his
money, the plain-minded country people
find it difficult to see. 1t is estimated
that paying off the public debt in legal
tender notes at par will save to the tax
payer $2OO,OOO,O 900 per annum. This is
a snug little sum to be paid to specula.

such thought is revolving 20 the white
race. Other States should have the
right to act as they please upon the sub

right but she claims the same privilege

To my friends Of the so-called Third
party, / have n word to say. For their
late standard bearer Judge Kinkead, |
have the highest respect and regard, and
| believe that a large majority OF their
rank and Gle are honest and patriotic
men, but must say, in all candor, that
there are few selfish, ambitions and
designing men belonging to that organi-
cation, who, through IL, are attempting
to bring dishonor. disgrace land ruin
npon the State. am satisfied that nine
tenths Of what are called Third party
men fully agree with the Democracy in
principle, and there is no good reason
why there should be any enlargement be,
tween us. You are for the restoration OF
the Constitution and the Union, and so
are we; but to give full force and effect
to your efforts in behalf Of these things
you must become part and portion of
that great, energetic aud living party
whose principles are one and the same
from the frozen lakes Of the North to
the Gulf of Mexico, and from the bleak
shores of the Atlantic to the golden
sands OF the Pacific coast. Come TO us;
we extend TO you the greetings OF friend
ship and brotherly love, and, IN this
crisis Of our country's danger, let us join
hands and work together for our country's
good.
1t is the province of the Democratic
party now not only to guard the Consti-
tuition but to warn the people of the
danger of central despotism. That
great apostle of liberty, Thomas Jeffer-
son, who so we'll understood the work
ings of our government, in a letter,
which he wrote to Gideon Granger on
August 18th, 1900, uses the following
forcible language: "And | do verify
believe that if the principle we're to pre-
vail of common law being in force in
the United States, (which principle pos
sesses the general government at once
of all the powers of the State gov
ernments, and reduces us to q
single, consolidated government 1t
would become the most corrupt govern
ment on earth" These we're the prin.
ciples of the illustrious sage of Month
cello, the great author of the Declaration
of Independence, aud are the vital
principles of the Democratic party of
to day. No party deserves the confidence
of the people whose principles are not
based upon truth, justice and the Con-
stitution. These are the great landmarks
to which statesmen should look, and, if
the people will firmly and steadfastly |
adhere to them, our government will |
stand through countless ages a monu-
ment to the wisdom of our revolutionary |
sires.
