This consideration may be really OF but
little value to some. Another may be
vastly more importont in their estimation
and may show the utter folly OF the 10
crease of the forced loan by the farther
increase of greenbacks. These solccists
say give us more greenblc&s and make
the laborers' and bondho'ders' money oil
equal value not allow the bondholders
money 10 be % per cent. better than the
laborers'. This purpose, all will admit Is
proper and desirable. L, is q purpose
which every rational man would desire 10
a.ain. Aad the only defect IN the pro
posed scheme is that it will DO slre TO
defeat itself aud produce precisely the
opposite effect from what is intended aud
promised. More greenbacks is simply
more inflation-more reducing OF the
yalue of each dollar. rhe value OF the
greenback comes down and the bond OF
the bondholder goes mp. When $780,
10000 of greenbacSs have been issued
rs proposed. greenback dollar will be
worth ftly cents; and the bondholder 5
bond dollar-based on gold-will be
worth lust t,C0 dollars. What will the
laborer think of that? VIII he pray or
vote for such a state OF things? Then let
every man discard this miserable TRADE
about the tendency OF the government 10
give the laborer one currency and the
bondholder another; and the shaun non-
sense OF encouraging sedition by repre-
sentiug that one class OF the community
are aristocrats with grip upon the
throats OF another.
The process OF equalizing The paper
money with gold has gone into operation
and with some fluctuations is gradually
accomplishing this desirable end. Ii al
parties would be agreed on this IN pSt lm'
portant question, and each wolId advo'

bab5ling about initiation, the appreciation
Of the greenbacl to gold could not long

IN another portion oil this paper we
publish a somewhat lengthy article
upon the Secretaryship. We have re-
ceiyed numerous communications upon
the subject, bu. think their substance is
embraced in this we'll written and manly
toned article taken from our neighbor.
In this County we find strong feeling
in favor of Mr.. Perham, and a general
desire that the Legislature will invite
him to continue 10 the Office 10 spite Of
the frantic efforts of those who favor
another party. This is our excuse for
devoting so much space to a subject, the
control of which has virtually passed out
of the hands OF the people.

How STRANGE. week man
stepped up to us and said he
would ray us every cent he owed
us if he lived to Saturday night
We presume the man died. An
other said he would pay us in a
day or two as sure as we were
born. Did the man lie or was we
never born? Another said he
would settle as sure as shooting.
We are led to the conclusion that
shooting is uncertain. Another
said he hoped to go to the devil if
he did not pay us in three days.
Haven t seen him since, suppose he
has gone, but we trust he has
hoped in vain Quite number
said they would see us tomorrow.
These men have been stricken
blind, Or else tomorrow has not
come. One man told us six months
ago that he would pay us as soon
as he got some money. The man
would not lie, so, of course, he
has not had q cent since.
