The nomiaces Of the Democratic par-

enunciations OF their party platform,
the unrnistakable declarations of their
party leaders, and the demands Of
those with whom they associate and

Greenhhcks for Rnnds.

The bondholder demands gold for his
bond the soldier must take greenbacks for
his pension The bondholder demands gold
for his bond the laborer must take green
backs for bis daily toll. The bondholder
demands gold for his boud the farmer and
the mechanic must take greenbacks for their
productions. The soldiers pension of SIS
is worth but about SIC in gold the bondhol-
er's SIS in gold are worth S22 in greenbacks.
81 in gold will buy as much as 81 so in
greenbaoks. The boRdholder obtains his
gold and be grows richer; the soldier, the
laborer, the farmer, and the mechanic, must
the the greenbacks, and they grow poorer.
The bondhOlder pays no taxes upon 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 bondholder gave greenbacks for
his Bonds. He has drawn the interest In
gold, and now he demands gold for the
principal. In 1868 the average of green
back dollar was seventy-one cents and in
1864, nifty cents and in 1865, ffty-nine
cents. In 1864, TIE bondholder paid $3.50
ih gold for $500 bond He has drawn
interest in gold npon it to the amount of
Sl2O, which was worth at least 5000 in cur.
rency. If his bond is in gold he has clear,
Hd $3.50, worth uUW 1915, and this added
10 the interest, makes a net profit of 1915
in four years on an investment of $780,
The gold to pay both principal and interest
comes from the tariff that the government
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 TO the bondholder Every pound
of coffee pays five cents in gold to the bond
holder Every pound of sugar pays four
cents in gold to the bondholder The whole
debt is now twenty six hundred millions of
dollars. In the month of July the interest
bearing portion of it increased sixty-seven
millions, thus adding in one month nearly
four millions of annual interest to the bur>
thens Of the people. Sixteen hundred mil
lions of the debt are, by this contract, pay
able in greenbacks if this is paid in gold it
adds eight hundred millions to the value of
the bondholder's claim, and to the terrible
load that now oppresses the people and
destroys their business. The bondholders
demand that labor and production shall be
taxed for their benefit; they claim that they
are privileged class, and exempt from tax
alton. Pay the debt in greenbacks, and you
reduce the burthens Of the people. Every
thing we eat, drink and wear, are now taxed
to pay the bondholder. Pay the debt in
greenbacks, and you pay it in the currency
the bondholder give for his bond Pay the
debt in greenbacks, and you stimulate indus
try and invigorate business. Pay the debt
ln'greenbacks, and you pay it according to
the contract The radicals say pay the
bondholder in gold The democracy say pay
the bondhOlder according to his contract. 4"

SPOKANE BRIDGE, september zli Aooo'
Ep1roR STATESMAN The Indians about the
Occur d'Alene Mission have, of late, been annoy
ing the travel crossing the mountains. Mr..
Murphy, who lives near Salem, Oregon, and
was on his way to the Blackfoot country with
band of horses, 10 in number, was stopped BY
six armed Indians and insulted in shameful
manner. He was called all sorts of hard names !
such epithets as horse-thief, and mussatchie
Boston," were freely INDUCED in, and revolVers
were presented at his head, and be was COM
PEELED to march before them to the Mission,
where be was made to give an account of him'
self to the Priest, by whose interposition he was
released, and suffered TO continue bis journey.
Mr.. Murphy was accused of stealing the horses
he had from the Nez Perce Indians. 1t was q
good band Of horses, many Of them half-breeds,
and raised by Mr.. NJ, in the Yakima Valley,
under the charge Of Mr.. Chapman. Mr.. N. is
one of Marion countv's best citizens his friends
and acquaintance will be not little surprised
and chaerined at the vile treatment he had! to
submit to by these lawless Indians. Similar out
RACES have been practiced towards others passing
through that country, in the vicinity of the Mis-
sion, but being of less magnitude they have ellie.

emboldened of late, and if they are not checked
in some way, some persons may lose their lives
whilst travelling in small parties along the road.
They made a raid on Boise's house, a short dis.
tance above the Mission, short time ago, and
gutted it of all its contents that they thought of
any value TO them among the articles captured
was keg Of whiskey This is the second attack
upon Boise about one year ago they went
through his premises and took everything of
value, whiskey and all. 1t is conjectured by
some, as they are pious cusses, that they are inl
cited to commit these misohievous acts by white
persons, who have them completely under their
control. ! hope such is not the case | have a
better opinion of the attaches of the Mission,
than to think that they would lend themselves to
the commission of such lswlessness. There Is
strong talk, by some persons, of raising the Miss
sion premises, if these assaults upon the public
are continued. | am no advocate of mob law
! should deprecate any such movement but
give it out to let the public the state of feels
ing that exists among the travelling people, If
the practices of the Indians are persisted 10 no
one can foretell the consequences that may ensue.
1oursI D. ]. g.
Those who are acquainted with the Fathers
of the Mission, will not for a moment credit the
charge that they are in any way connected with
these Indian outrages.-ED. STATESMAN.
