of the labOrers who come in from abroad
to help in haying and harvesting to re-
turn to their homes. Such complaints
are numerous from the towns about us /;

THE $40 BoNDs.-A western paper
gives the following concise and cogent
reasons why the 500 bonds should be re-
deemed with legal tender" currency of the
country.
Ist. Because the United States Govern
mcut never agreed to pay any thing else.
2nd. Bcca use the bondholder lent green
back to the Government, and it is cq1ita-
bic that what they lOaaed thry should re
ceive.
3rd Because to pay them in gold makes
the investment of the bonIholder the most
profitable one of modern times, and har-
der bargain for the Goveroment than was
ever before eXtorted by money-changerS
even from the weakest principtlities.
4th Because every other kind OF indebt-
cdness both by Government and private
individuals is paid in grccnbacks, and to
pay hondholders gold gives them an unjust
advantage over their fellow citizens.
9th Because gold cannot be paid for
them, unless the laboring and agricultural
Interests Of the people are taxed to an ex-
tent that will impoverish the masses, and
destroy the material ptospcrityof the coun-
try.
9th Because to pay gold is impossible
and to pay in greenbaeks prevents d fund
ing Of the debt into other bonds, and
saves the enormous amonnt of gold inter
est annually paid by the Government.
7th Because payment in grcenbacks will
increase the currency in circulation, and re-
move the financial distress which results
from the tightness Of money among bus
iness men.

The Money Changers In The Capitol.

The zeal which is manifested in the Sen
ate of the United States to pass John
Sherman's bill to add $2O,OOO,OOO more
national bank notes to our already redun-
dant currency, need occasion no surprise,
when it Is known how strong is the per-
sonal interest of many Senators in this
scheme Of finance. Cattell, who. by a
figure Of speech, is called the "Senator
from New jersey" is President of the
Corn Exchange OF Philadelphia, and has
already made very good thing out of the
system, and is of course, quite anxious to
perpetuate it. Sherman himself, chairman
Of the Senate Finance Committee, Nor
gan of New York, and Zach. Chandler, of
Michi san, are all said to be heavily inter-
ested in national banking concerns This
accounts for the sudden change of base
from contracting the currency Of the gov
ernment at $4,O0O,O0O a month to the is
sue of S20.0O0,O00 in national bank notes.
Unless this scheme is arrested, it will in
evitably end in establishing national bank
money as the currency of the country, and
put off to the distant future the return to
specie payments. The banks, already ex-
ercising through their money dangerous
influence in the legislation of the country,
will then be in complete mastery, and will
dictate every measure Of government
They will resist every effort to return TO
specie payments, as long as they draw iu-
terest on their bonds in coin, ard make
loans to the citizen ia deprecated curren-
cy at heavy rates of discount. Since we
must have paper money, let it be the ma
tional currency. and if more must be issu-
ed, let the bonds be retired, and stop the
interest, and thereby lower the taxes

...r RADICAL PURPOSES.
Thus Radical reconstruction proceeds,
and it is the open and avowed purpose Of
Congress to admit these States thus in the
hands and under the control Of the negroes
before this session closes. The great
crime is pressed now each dry and hour
with fierce desperation. And who so
blind as rot to see the odious purposes !?
A presidential! election is at hand, and the
first fruits Of this accursed conspiracy are
to be seventy electoral votes deposited for
the Ra licsl candidate by the hands of the
negroes. The negroes Of Georgia, in their
dense barbarity, are to Outvote the free
men of Indiana in the choice Of Chef Mag
istrate. The negro Oh the levees Cf the
Mississippi is to drown the voice of the in
telIige mt farmer Of the North. speak ad
wisely.
The Radical leaders, since the late cleo
tion>. expect 10 cary but few Of the North
ern States They despair of controlling
any longer the white vote of the country.
They seek no longer to govern this Repub-
lie by the white mans influence. They
yield all that to the Democratic party, and
denounce white mans parry as an intoI-
cradle offense. Bat with seventy negro
electoral votes, and to them added thr
votes of Tennessee Missouri, both bastard
off,prings Of the bayonet, they are prepar
ing TO rob the people Of their sacred rights,
and openly defy the legally expressed pub
lie will. The act Of Reconstruction is un-
constitutional, if there is a Constitution in
the land; it is fraud on the purposes and
objects Of the war, if that word has not
lost all its meaning; it is upheld by perjury
and dnress, if there be such a INC; and
yet we are expected to quietly yield to its
claim, that the negro shall make the nexy
President.

TAXATION.


In the midst Of these darkening days.
when the laborer goes about streets in quest
of bread, grinding is low, and skeleton want
looks in at the doors windows Of many an
honest household, you are taxed by Con-
gress for the support Of standing army be-
yound what any other countries endure be-
meath the sun.
The people of the United States are pay
ing over S500,OOU,000 Of annual
revenue. More than one-half of that E.
normous amount is swallowed up by Con-
gressional policy Of reconstruction. If the
farmer or mechanic pays twenty dollars to
the taxgathcrer, ten Of it goes as a tribute
to vast military government, which exists
in plain, open and confessed violation OF
the Constitution. If your property is ad-
vcrtiscd on the trees at the crossroads,
and On the doors of public houses for de
liuquent and unpaid taxes, remember that
they wouli not have been half so heavy
and you might easily have paid them, il
