Good Suggestions.

To the Editor of the Sun:
Allow me, If you please, through the columns
of your paper, to make few suggestions for
the Peter Cooper campaign. In the first place,
an effort should be made i'm mediately to large
" increase the circulation of our papers. If we
expect to succeed, our papers must be more
generally read throughout the country. A
asm which few other things will create. The
Sun should receive million subscribers
within the next 80 or 40 days, and all other
Greenback papers should receive wide circu-
lation. This can be accomplished if we 20 It
It right; and every subscriber will come right
down to work. Let every Greenback paper
be offered at ten cents q month, postage paid,
during the campaign. Then let every SUBJ
scriber become an active agent for circulating
the papers, free of charge, paying his own pos
tage for ordering papers and sending money.
put greenback paper in the hands of nearly
overy one of their neighbors.
In tina next place, let every Greenback voter
decide at once to make sacrifice OF from 10
cents to 81, 90 and upwards, according to his
ability, for the good Of the cause. Let this
money be sent to some headquarters for print
ing campaign documents; and used to pay for
paper, printing and postage. Let set of
hands keep good press going night and day
until election day, striking off the most ap-
proved campaigd documents. Then let an
other set of hands be employed in learning the
names of the voters and their addresses through
putting up the documents and mailing them
free to these voters. Each package should
contain an advertisement of all Greenback pa
pers which have national reputation, At 10
cents month, and also of all book publications
devoted to currency reform.

Editor Anti-Monopolist.
Why should candidate to office be re-
quired to spend time or money, to get
an election. Ishould think the time has
come when we should send our agents
to do our business, without, they having
to impoverish themselves to get to be
our agents; and by SO doing, lave to
steal to make up for lsoses.
And again,if an office costs moneyit is
only the monoyed classes that can get
offices therefore, it follows that all our
laws are made in favor OF that class.
Now. Mr.. Editor, as you are the can
Gidate ofthe Independent party in the
I'd District tor Congress, believe you
will get the election by a large majority
of the laboring and self-thinking voters
of the District; and for that reason you
do not need to spend any more time and
means than you would ii you were not n
candidate. There never was party
shorter of means than this new party,
and, in fact, that is the reason why it is in
existence. All we ask of you is to do all
you can to let the masses know what
the principles OF the Independent party
are AS far rs it is in your power.
We expect to pay you for your time
and expenses SO incurred when elected
for Congress, and we have chosen you
because we believe you right upon this
financial question and also honest and
capable to carry them out, whereby they
will benefit the whole country.
We are done with class legislation. l
believe there is no man in these United
States will sacrifice as much personal
comfort Us PETER COOPER, il elected,
President. And if he is willing to sacri-
flee his personal comfort for our good let
each and every one do all he can to en-
tighten his neighbors. because just so
soon as our policy is understood the
masses are with us. Let every man do
as Hon. Joseph Goar and Capt. G. l..
Smith OF Rice Co., are now doing.
would say to you work and you are
sure TO go to Washington. There never
was a time that the people thought and
read more for themselves than at the
present time; and PETER COOPER is
going to get that class OF voters. The
seed that will be sown in 1876 will be m
abundant harvest in 1880. We know We
are right and '.rorward" be the watch
word. Yours.

elected it will save world OF trouble to
have his supporters here confined to this

MINI. We have had = grand old time

stantly in sight on our ride from Shef>

We spent week 10 lovely Paris feast
ing in the good things that France alone
can produce. The beauties of Paris and
Versailles with their arts and sciences
cannot be imagined without seeing them.
We have been nearly two weeks in and
around this, my native place. have seen
the great demonstration of the apprentice
boys Of Derry, on the 18th OF August, in
commemoration of the relief and raising
of the siege, which passed off very quite

1000 people took part, report of which

as in Scotland and France and are not
very abundant in England
