two acts Of open and aagrant robbery aud bad
faith on the part of the Government ITSELF
viz: first, II would involve a violation of the
pledge made by the Government in the law
providing for the issue of the present green
backs and national loans, that only S400 900, 600
of greenbacks should in any event b. issued;
and secondly, it would be a usurpation of
power by the Government to compel the banks,
as public creditors, to take their pay in green
backs for bonds which, by their terms are
payable in gold.
The whole plan, therefore is not only desti-
tute of any element of economy, but is pre-
posterously base and dishOnorable. IL shows
brain blunted TO all sense Of distinction be-
tween meum and tuum, or right and wrong, to
advocate so evident an act OF national swind
ling. If the Democratic leaders wish to make
this the financial issue they show large faith
in the stupidity, gullibiity, and dishonesty of
their followers. Whether this faith is justi-
fed by the facts, we leave them TO decide
