During the past month, gold at the Ne"
York Gold Exchange has huctuated from
1898 to 1884 while sterling exchange has
only huctuated between 4S2 and 4s6.
Apparently this political economists
know ledge OF the money question Is con
fined to the recent newspaper defence OF
the national banking system, but MIR.
Hayden X. Smith, Of the Times, is per
fectly familiar with the fact that Ricardo

greenbacks, last Saturday, at the New
York Gold Exchange, were only worth
glt. as compared with gold coin, but
we're worth more than their face value, As
compared with London exchange Now
We want the Solons Of the Tribune and
| Times. who have 50 constantly and uni
formlv abused the greenback men, 70 meet
this point. or for ever after remain silent
upon the real merits Of the money 4ues-
! tion
Just now there are certain men in nom
| nation for seat IN Congress. who believe
IN the merits Of the greenback cause. The
| Times and Tribune ignore these men en-
tirely. but denounce all greenback men as
A pack of Idiots and knaves, While they
are both working teeth and toe nail to
elect men who are owned body and
breeches By the moneyloanIng sharks,
and those who demand that every measure
which they have bribed through Congress
shall be held as valid claims The Tribune
is urging the election Of William AldrIch
knowing that Aldrich is only tool to reg
lster the will OF the Chicago national bank
ers; VINO is one Of the hardest Of hard
money men, and who believes that the
bullion ssindle Of demonetIzing silver is a
/ piece of legislative wisdom that mast not
be disturbed; and yet this single act Of
| demonetizlng silver has, or viii, II not re-
pealed, cost more than all Of the rebel
! claims that have been introduced into
! Congress amount to. II Aldrich and other
bullionists get control Of the House, they
| will legislate in such manner as to force
/ labor to put forth double the efforts 70
meet the demands of the money sharks
that would be required q pay every rebel
I claim that could be drummed up. The
Republican speakers are bowling them
selves hoarse over the payment ef rebel
claims, while Republican fuglemen are at
work arranging nominations SO that the
national bank interests and the money
lending interests shall be properly cared
for. no matter how much the people may
suffer.
Mr. Aldrich has two opponents, Mr..
Hoxie, who is running on the Democratic
ticket, and who Is supported by all the
worst elements of thar party, and GEoRGr
5. Bowen, a thoroughgolng business
man and phllanthroplst, who represents
the peoples interests, nominated by the
Greenback party. Ii Mr. Bowen Is
elected, he will vote against the payment
Of rebel claims he will also vote against
the extortionate demands Of the bond
holders, the unholy demands Of the ma
tional bankers, the British Jews, the
blood suckers and Shylocks who are drain
ing this country Of the rich and glorious
inheritance which a bountiful Providence
has given I, us. Mr.. Bowen alone repre-
sents the people, and i'll voting for him no
Republican takes the least risk, for he is
better Republican that Aldrich, as pure
and upright a representative business man
as Aldrich, and he has no entangling al
lance with the bullionists and bankers
and, furthermore, no Republican in vot-
ing for him endangers the head of the
ticket. Voters, remember these facts
