The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1876-08-12
SUBMITTED TO THE PEOPLE.

The Democratic and Republican parties,
and the Senate and House of Represent
atives of the United States, have shown
themselves Incompetent to settle the finan-
cisl question, and it is now submitted to
the grand jury of the People.
1t is being discussed IN every township,
on every corner, in every tield-by Me-
chanics, Farmers, Miners as well as by
Manufacturers and Merchants The pol
iticIans tried to ignore this subject they
tried to keep 1t out If the Presidential
canvas, which they desire to be simply a
contest between two gangs for SIX hunured
thousand offices, national, state, county,
town and municipal, which generally go
10 the members of the winning party.
This time, however, they have reckoned
without their host. The two parties.
Democratic" and Republican $50
called, are for themselves and for the
Rothsohilds and for their co-partners
Neither of these parties know or care for
the interests Of the people. They do not
know that millions Of skilled and willing
men are unable 70 get employment, and
that millions 81 other men are suffering
for what these men might produce, if EN-
ployed.
They donot know that nearly all the ma
chinery in the great workshop, the Nation,
is standing idle because for years Congress
has been employed in the destruction of
beitig, tor money Is the betting Of indus
try.
Greenbacks have been burned aud ma
tional bank notes driven out Of circulation
at the rate Of from three to five millions of
dollars per month under the operation of
the Resumption Act" passed January
IA, 1875.
The main belt that runs the principal
shaft has been renewed and reduced in vol
ume and power, so that the machinery
stands still until machine after machine,
industry after industry, is disconnected
and stopped.
Currency is Just ss essential to movement
and activity in trade and industry, as belt
ing Id q printing office, factory or mill is
necessary to move the machinery. The
politicians have been burning up betting
(greenbs1ks), and trade and industry stand,
and men seek Job in vain.
These circumstances called for the organ
ization of the Independent Greenback Par
ty, to represent the interests Of the PEOPLE,
and al over this great country, people are
rAllying and joining themselves with
Greenback Clubs, demanding that the
destruction of greenbacks shall cease,
and that a new system Of money shall
be adopted, securing for industry at all
times a sufficient supply of currency in
order that it may never again be brought
TO Astand-still, by reason of the insufficient
cy Of the currency.
Tilden, in his letter, tries to cover up
the issue with sophistry. He wheedles
and cOaxes, as he is constrained to do by
the unmistakable evidences of change of
public opinion among the producers, which
he cannot ignore. But the people are be-
ginning to understand that both the Dem
ocratic party and the Republican party are
but sections Of the Rothschilds' party, and
work and legislate in the Rothschilds in
terests, and that the only party Of the peo-
pie and for the people, il the Independent
Greenback Party, Who have put in the field
a. candidates Peter Cooper, for President,
and Gen. Samuel Cary, for Vice President,
and we hope to have none but good friends
Of the greenback elected to Congress, or to
the State Legislatures.
The Independent Greenback Party will
hold grand National Ratification meeting
at Chicago, or the I'D Of tLis mouth, Au-
gust. A vast assembly is expected to be
present. and let every one who sees this
article consider himself or herself person
ally invited to be present and swell the
thrOng and lend voice and influence for the
great cause Of the people. Let the great
meeting on the 23d strike terror to those
VINO are working in opposition to the inter
ests and the opinions Of The PEOPLE.
