GreenSacks for Bonds.

The BondhGlder demands gold for
his bond !; the soldier mast take
greenbacks for his pensi IA.
The Bondh0iler demands gold for
his bond /; the lah0rer must take
greenbacks for his daily toll.
The BondholdeF demands gold for
his bond the farmer and the me-
chanics must take greenbacks for
their productions. The soldiers pen
sion of$i5 is worth about $40 in gold;
the Bondh0lder's S15 in gold is worth
So in greenbackS. 81 in gold viii
buy as much as $l.50 In greenhacks.
The B0ndhoi,ler obtains his gold
and he grows richer; the soldiers,
the lahOrer, the farmer, and the me
ehanic, must take the greenhacks,
and they grow poorer.
The lSondholder pays no taxes ~
Oh his bonds, for they are exempted
by law; the soldier, the laborer, the
farmer, and the mechanic, pay their
own taxes and the bondholders too.
The BOndhoidcr gave greenbacks
for his bonds. He has daYn the
interest in gold, and now he demands
the principal in gold.
In 1863 the average of Il greenback
dollar was seventy-one cents; in 1864
fifty cents; and in 1855, fifty-nine
cents.
In 1864, the bondholder paid $3.50
in gold for a $3.50 bond. He has
drawn interest in geld upon 1t to the
amount of $l20, which was worth at
least 500 in currency. If his bond
Is in gold he has cleared $3.50, worth
now 1878, and this added to the in
terest, makes neat profit OF S575 in
four years on an investment OF $2J /,
The gold TO pay both principal and
interest comes from the tariff that
thu govemment lays on the poor
mans tea, coffee and sugar, for all
other taxes are paid in currency.
Every pound Of tea pays twenty
five cents In gold tn the bondhold-
er
Every pound of coffee pays Ave
cents in gold to the bondholder!
Every pound OF sugar pays four
cents in gold to the bondhollerl
The whole debt Is now twenty-six x
hundred millions of dollars. In the
month of July the interest bearing
portion of It increased sixty-seven
millions, thus add ng In one month
nearly four millions Of annual inter-
est to the burthens of the people.
Sixteen hundred millions or the
debt are, by this contract, payable in
greenbacks; IT this Is paid IL gold it
adds eight hundred millions to the
value Of the Bnndhoider's claim, and
III the terrible load that now oppres-
ses the people and destroys their hu-
siness.
The Bondho,lers demand that la
Dor and production shali be taxed
for their benefit; they claim that
they are a privileged class, and ex-
empt from taxation.
Pay the debt in greenbacks, and
You reduce the burthens OF the peu-
Die. Everything we eat, drink and
wear, are now taxed TO pay the bond
holder.
PAY the debt In greenbacks, and
Won nav Ii In the currency the Bond
holder gave for his bond.
Pay the debt In greenbacks, and
you stimulate industry and invigor-
ate business.
Pay the debt 10 greenbaeks, and
you pay IL according to the contract.
The Radicals say pay the Bond
holder I'm Gold. The Democracy say
pay the Bondholder according to his
contract Wntchnsfzs.

No. The Council BIufs Bsloze

ticularly favorable TO the interests OF

You have not exactly got the idea,
neighbor. We think that the idea
that any Of the Eastern trains win
cross on the railroad bridge, is Sim
ply ridiculous, and that the men who
contend, knowing as you do that it
will not be 20, that there will be o
general crossing of the Eastern rail-
road trains over the bridge for the
purpose Of transferring freight, are
AaaOes, and that those who believe
their assertions are fooss, yet we ad-
nit that II the knaves succeed In
making the fools believe that the
trains will cross on the bridge, and,
and that the transfer of freight win
be on the other side Of the river, that
1t viii not be particularly favorable
TO the interests of Council Bluffs. p
Do you understand as now, neigh
