GOLD AND GREENBACKs.

Let every tax payer remember that the
republican party and platform are in favor
of paying the principal Of the fve-twenty
bonds in gold, although the law of congress
under which these bonds were issued
makes no stipulation that they shall be paid
in any other than lawful money-such as
the lsborer, the mechanic, the farmer the
soldier, the sailor and others are obliged to
receive.

THE SOLDIER AND THE BONDHOLDER

co,tbo ,,se ofhis money four times the amount Of

esivs from the government only slx-tenths Of the
| wages promised, and at the termination OF the
strife, BY his industry and toll, pay all theeIPeH'
es aud debts Of the government
This statement Of the case is not too high
" colored. No wealthy bondholder served
in the war, unless be held some exalted and
profitable position. No bondholder loaned
to the government any money except depre'
ciated paper worth on the average less than
sixty cents on the dollar and according to
the bill which passed congress at the close
Of the late session, every bondholder is to be
| paid his interest in gold every SIX months
for the next thirty or forty years IS to be
exempt from taxation all that time, and, in
the end, is to be paid dollar for dollar in gold
for all the deprecated currency he original
~ loaned the government. In the meantime
he is authorized to make his bonds a basis
for banking business which enables him to
realize an additional interest Of ten per cent
per annum on his original investment.

1t makes no difference how we look at this |

HOW PEBBLES ASKED THE
-iviO OLD MAN. .,r. .,.-

PEBBLES had just asked old
Merriweather's daughter if she
would give him a lift out of
bachelordom, and she said yes.
1t therefore became absolutely
necessary to get the old mans
permission, so PEBBLES said,
that arrangements might be
made for hopping the conjugal
twig. H. ..
PEBBLES said he'd rather pop

Merriweathers, and his sisters,
and his female cousins, and his
aunt Hannah in the country,
and the whole of his female re-
lations, than ask old Merri-

and so he sat down and studied

Merriweather the very first
time he got a chance. g
So PEBBLES dropped in en-
him one Sunday evening when
all the family had meandered
around TO class meeting, and
found him doing a sum in beer

many quarts his interior could
hold without blowing his head
off Of him. r ... sill.
"How are you, Peeb?" said
old Meriweather, as PEBBLES
walked in, as white as a chunk
of chalk, and trembling as if he
had swallowed a condensed
earthquake. PEBBLES was afraid
to answer, because he WASN'T
sure about that speech. He
knew he had to keep his griI
on it while it was there, or il
would slip away from him like
an oiled heel through an augul
