Comradesl 1t is not expected that the
Government Will pay the above money. but
each soldier should insist upon it that the
bondholders, who only risked their money
while the soldiers risked their lives and
their all, should be paid in the same money
as the soldiers received. ly&al
The Radicals have always professed love
for the soldier, buttheir love for the bond.
holders and their money is stronger, and
has more influence in Congress. There
fore, the soldiers are paid in kind cords,
while the bondhoIders receive the 'sschink. .
Now, it is for every soldier to say if bis
limbs and life were not as good as the
money of the bondholders at the election.
Those who valued their lives below gold
will vote for men who uphold the presen,
system of fraud and corruption and those
whose lives were at least as good as gold,
will vote for men who think the man who
gave his all to his country eqnal to those
who only let money for the sake of getting
more, and that both should at least be
treated alike.
The soldiers would be as we'll off if the
bondholders would be paid off in green
backs as they would be if they received the
money referred to above, because most all
belong to the working and business men,
and that whole class would be blessed if the
money aristocracy should lose its power
over Congress- The capital that is lying
still now would no more fetch interest to its
owner out of the workingmen's pockets.
but it would be used to build factories and
to cultivate northern farms or southern
plantations. There would be plenty OF
work and good wages. The government
would reduce the taxes on articles which a
family needs every day in the whole year,
and, therefore, living would cost less. But,
should there be no change in the financial
matters of our government, then the pres
emit order of things will continue: The
poor man has to pay the taxes and the
rich man puts them into his pocket; the
poor man has to work for small wages, and
the rich man takes the profit the poor can
make but scanty living, while the rich
revel in plenty.
Therefore, soldiers, and all who have to
labor for your living-also, you rich who
claim to have kindly feeling for the poor
think over these few lines, and vote fol
none who support the present corruption.
Soldiers werkingmenl mechanics |! I
Be true to yourselves, and on the Sd Of
November next victory will be on your
side. A VETERAN. :

An Illustration.

The following case in point illustrates
the bond question: A party in 1864
rsa loaned tho government 100000 in greens
backs. At that time gold was ESQ, SO that
the government received the equivalent of
but $40, 0o0in geld. Upon this he has re-
ccived in gold 10000 interest, or fifteen
per cent. In four years upon loan of
a. $4,000 in gold, he has received
$4,000 gold interest, which added to his
u~pa tar exemption foots mp about $50, 900.
The principal of his debt was payable, un-
49,. der the law, in legaltender currency. To
- pay it now in greenbacks, wouId..give him
seventy -fve or eighty cents on dollar,
zsa7 whereas he only lent forty cents in gold.
aos' But this does not satisfy him. In despite
~ Of the agreement he demands 500, 600 in
gold from the government, in addition to
!. the $4,000 in gold which he has received
7. in interest and taxes, to pay that $40, 600
which he originally lent.

The Irish Church establishments.

The second debate in the House of Com
mons has sgsin resulted in the defeat OF
the Tory Ministry, and the passage, by an
increased majority, of Mr.. GLADSTONE
resolution for the abolition of the English
- Church Establishment in ireland. This
vote will probably terminate Mr.. Disraeli' S
eHreer as Prime Minister, tor it will be i'm
possible for him to carry on the govern
IS ment in the face of the powerful opposi-
-eI tion he must now encounter. If he dis
solyes Parliament and appeals to the peo>

Keep Your Eye on Your Neighbors

Take care Of them. Do not let them stir
without watching. They may do some
thing wrong, if you do. To be sure, you
never knew them to doanything very bad !;
but It may be on Your account they have
not. Perhaps, if it had not been for your
care, they might have disgraced themselves
and families long time ago. Therefore,
do not relax any effort to keep them where
they ought to be; never mind your own
business-that will take care of itself.
There is man passing .along-he is look
ing over the fence-be suspicious of him ;
perhaps he contemplates stealing some of
these dark nights; there is no knowing
what queer fancies be may have got into
his head.
If you find afy symptoms of any one
passing out Of the path of duty, tell every
one else what you see. and be particular to
see a great.uany. 1t is good way to circu-
late such things tho it may not benefit your
self or any one else particularly. Do keep
something going--silence. is a dreadful
thing; tho it is said there was silence in
heaven for 4the space of half an hour, do
not let such a thing occur on earth It
would be too much like heaven for this
mundane sphere If after all your watch
ful care you cannot see anything out of the
way 10 any one, you may be sure it is lot
because they have not done anything bad
perhaps in an unguarded moment you lost
sight of them-throw out hints that they
are no better than they ought to be-that
you should rot wonder if people found
OUT what they were after a while, then
they may not carry their heads so high
keepit going, andsome one will take the
hint and beginto help yoa after while
then there will be music, and every
thing will work to charm.
