That the contraction of tho money curren-

resumption of specie payment, has already
brought disaster TO the business OF the coun
try, and threatens general bankruptcy. We
demand that this policy be abandoned. And
that the volume OF money be made and kept
equal to the wants of trade, leaving the re-
storation OF legal tenders 10 par to be brought
about by promoting the industries OF the PEG
pie, and not by destroying them.
That the policy already initiated by tho
Republican party Of abolishing legal tenders

. power of IN already dangerous monopoly

are as follows:
MIR. Robinson, who occupies the house
next north Of MegTils'S grocery, was engaged
in shovelling tho snow from the roof INTO
the street. Daring the work he hearo
scream from below, and looking over the
coruice he saw q man with hair, neck, ana
clothes full OF snow dancing up and down
on the walk and shaking his fist towards Mr.
Robinson.
"What do you mean by throwing your
blasted snow ever me!" gaspcd the straL-
ger.
Who threw snow on you:" very ma
furaly ir,q'lired Mr.. Robinson, there being
every probability in the world that it was
thrown on him several days before.
"Tou did: just this minit," asserted
the stranger most positively.
"WeH, / didn't mean TO throw it on you.

stranger.
Both men were now talking at the top OF
their yo;c.S-bclng some twenty feet apart
and several windows in the ncghb0rho0d
went up.
"Wnat do you mean by talking to me that
way:" screamed Robinson.
"l'll show you, il you come down here,
YOU dou.hficcd guiliotue," shrieked the
stranger.
"Don't you call me Names" roared Rob

screamed the stranger with the snow in his
