A Good Mnrd for LiInr Nom

Not long before his death Canon
Kingsley drew attention to the strpri-
sing number Of small men in 4 l.uidon
crowd. According to him i; was Il sign
If the deterioration of The race. But
there are twD ways of looking ut every
thing, and for the comfort and c"rSola-
tion of small people we would point out
that il might almost lie taken as an
indication of intellectual progress.
MaDy-we might almost say most-of
the great men of history lav" been of
short stature, from the days Of that
ancient philosopher, who, as the story
goes, was so diminutive that lie had to
carry lead In his pocket to prevent his
being blown away. Canute the great,
for instance, was Il singularly small
man; Napoleon, too, was little; Nelson
had no height to boast OF, and the great
Condo was short enough. Hild,hrand
Gregory NII-the mightiest of all
the Popes, was also quite II diminutive
person. Then, among men of letters,
poets and phil ,sophers, Moutaignr, the
cssayist, was little; so WAS Porr-"a
little crooked thing that asked ques-
t%ions;' SO was Dryden; so was DR..
Watts, who insisted, as We all Know,
ON the mind being the stature of the
man; and so was Scarron, who, when
he alluded ut nee 10 his i'll health and
his little size, called himself san
Itbridgement of human miseries.1 Will
any one, after such names rs these
and the list may be Indefinitely extend
ed-look down on little men with dis
,lnin?LCassell's MngaZiRe.

Editor Anti Monopolist:
Time and again / have been think
ing about writing for your valuable
paper about what q nOn-pOtltlcal
Scandinavian thought Of this country's
politics, and the natural consequences
of a corrupt government. But | have
hesitated to do SO for not being
posted enough, land also, because am
poor writer.
If your party leaders had the peO-
pies confidence your victory would
come at once. But to-day no party
leaders have the peoples confidence
even among their own party, which
was plainly shown on the 18th day OF
June last.
should have worked for your
party last fall if there had been a lit
tie more prospect of success, and to
split the difference / did not vote for
any president. If | knew that the
Anti party could make
much Roadway, would spend part
of my time next fall for it. IT con-
venient read my article in Col.
Mattison's paper,f for June 10th, signed
"Farmare' l tried to get up pOllt-
ical discussion and | would have sue
ceeded if not for it's being a strong
republican paper. These hard times
are the right time to change the one
sided Scandinavians. Hard times are
the consequence of bad government,
from county officers upwards. Nine
ty-nine per cent.Of the ScandlnavlanS
dare not look at any paper unless 1T be
a republican paper. Is not that hor-
rible to think of! But we must ex-
cuse them. Next winter our Scandina-
Wan representatives shall not sit in
our State Legislature like mummies,
and only dream ofhaving a good time.
Take my word for that, Mr.. Donnelly.
They forbid us half-starved people
to catch fish with nets last winter; If
we keep still they will forbid us to
catch any kind of game. Has not
Kandiyohi county had great loss and
damage in what was done by the
grasshopper subject last winter in the
Legislature when we consider the
experience and knowledge that they
should have had on the subject.
don't like to see the Pioneer Press and
other leading papers trying to make
outsiders believe that this hopper
visit is not as bad as reported, and sc
on. l think the truth should be known
all over the Union so as to let the
poor have chance to get little hell
from more prosperous people.
/ am sorry to know that my time
has run out some weeks ago on your
valuable paper. but, am now no
able to keep it. / have seven small
children to support, and I feet too
proud to ask it for nothing.
Yours.

A Straight and Short Road to
Specie Payment.
Put GreenbackS on Par with
Gold and Gold will Be plenty
for all Purposes.

TRENTON, n. j.. June 1877.
Editor Irish World
Hypocritical politicians and wise
fools are perpetually talking about
specie payment, as if such a cheat as
,Uhat is called specie payment would
cure all the misfortunes of the times
revive trade, stimulate manufacture
ing, create prosperity, and set forced
idleness into wellpaid and Industrious
labor.
Well, let us try the experiment. We
can do it, even though the silver is
demonetized, and gold is forever fly
ing from market to market, as the
rich gamblers in public credit order
it from city to city, from country to
country, as the attraction of moneta-
~ power controls it, to speculate on
the misfortunes of mankind.
But how to do it, That is the ques-
ton. The answer is plain. Repeal
the law making revenue duties paya-
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1877-07-26

BILE in gold, and pass law making
greenbacks a legal tender for every
thing but the obligations we have
pledged our public faith to pay in coin,
and the thing is done at once.
What makes you think so! asks Mrs.
Grundy. It is no thinking-the reason
amounts to demonstration. The mo-
ment gold is not wanted to pay duties
there will be no demand for it, nobody
will have any special use for it. 1t
will be like fifth wheel to a coach,
too kbulky to carry, too inconvenient
to use. People will not use it, because
they can get along better without it.
All that keeps the greenback below
gold in the market is attributable to
two reasons:
First-The government which Gre
ated them repudiate them. they
repudiate them by refusing to take
them for revenue duties.
Second-Duties, as the law now
stands, must be paid in gold; gold does
what greenbacks are. forced not to do.
Put them on par, and you will not
find Jew or Gentle that will not
prefer government paper to govern
ment coin.
And why! The reason is obvious to
the weakest intellect. Government
paper, unhampered by government
reputation, is worth more than gold.
1t is easier handled-it is infinitely
more conveniently is safer to keep.
Our bonds are worth ten per cent more
than gold! Why! Simply because the
whole commercial world, that is, every
body, have absolute confidence in our
absolute ability and our absolute hon.
esty. The greenback is just as good
as our bonds; there is no possibility
of their being otherwise. The basis
Of the greenback is the exact basis Of
the bond.
The greenback being receivable for
duties the same as gold, nobody will
want gold. Greenbacks being more
convenient than gold, and worth as
much, or more than gold. We can re-
sumo the day we repudiate the repudi-
ating law. Isn't this plain common
sense! Why, then, does not congress
repeal the odious reputation OF the
greenback! The answer is too palpa-
BILE to be mistaken. Gold spectators,
Wall street gamblers, bankmen, the
miserable tWaddlers on finance hold
| up their hands in holy horror, and
staggering around congress ask,
| "Where are you to get your gold to
pay your interest on the public debt!'
Our answer is buy it-buy it as you
would any other article in the market,
for the moment it is not demanded
| for duties it will be cheaper than
greenbacks.
The balance of trade is $40, OOO,O 900
in favor of the United States this year;
all in gold. That is enough to pay
the interest. Gold will be drug, for
greenbacks will bring more than gold
the day congress repeats the law
| which repudiates them.
It is easy to redeem. Let us do it.
The way is straight, the road is short.
S. D. D.
p. SIT is often said that post.
| cript is the most important part of d
letter. So be it. To resume in this
way will be to demonstrate the supe-
riority ofgreenbacks over every other
form of circulation. It will kill the
clamor against paper money. The oc
cupation of the gold gamblers will be
gone--prosperity will return. The
greenback will triumph. Let us try
the experiment. 5. u. ID.

cREENBAcK ITEMS
Platform Of the Independent
Party Of Minnesota,
Adupted at their State Convention held at
FaribauIt June goth 1877.

Mr.. Donnelly from the committee
on resolutions made the following re-
port, which was unanimously adopted:
s.Resolred, That we reatfirm the
principles of the National lndepen-
dent Party, as proclaimed at Indian
apolis on the 18th of May, 1876, and
point to the present financial condl-
ton of the American people as the
best evidence of the necessity for the
reforms therein demanded:
Resolred, That we charge that the
course of national financial legislation
for years past has all been in favor OF
the holders of our national bonds and
against the taxpayers:
|. By changing the terms OF some
of the bonds so that they were made
PAYABLE in gold and silver coin, instead
of ''lawful money of the United
States
2. By subsequently enacting that
the same bonds should be paid IN gold
alone.
3. BY Increasing the weight of the
gold dollar.
4. BY contracting the currency OF
the country so rs to make money more
valuable, and the property of the peo-
pie less valuable.
5. BY decreeing forced resumption
of specie payments upon the lst OF
January, 1879, thus conslgnlng our al
ready impoverished people to greater
depths of suffering in the future.
Resolred, That we regard the DEM
onetiZation of American silver coin as
the result of a conspiracy, and crime
against the prosperity and industry OF
the American people, and one of the
chief causes of the present suffering;
and we demand that silver coin be
once more restored by Congress to the
place which it held for over eighty
wears. as legal tender, in all sums,
for all debts public and private.
Resolred. That we endorse the pol
icy of reconciliation and peace pro-
mulgated by the present national
administration, and hail the era OF
good will among all the citizens of oul
common country as suspicious for 9
proper consideration of the great
financial questions upon which depend
the prosperity of our people.
Resoired, That we protest against
the financial policy now being enforc
ed by Secretary Sherman. Which i:
rapidly increasing the bonded debt O.
the United States by withdrawing
s.greenbacks. the people money ant
substituting in their place natlona
bank notes, based on bonds upon which
we are taxed to pay interest.
Resolved, That while we are no
ayerse to some reasonable and equlta
BILE settlement of the so-called Mime
sofa State railroad bonds. we shall
demand of our candidate for Governor
and of our candidates for the Stat
Legislature, unequivocal pledges tina
they will not favor or support an
proposed settlement of the said bond
unless the same is first fully and fairl
submitted, at a general election, to tn
people of the state for their approve
or rejection.
Resolved, That in the present distres
of the taxpayers of this state we d'
mand the strictest retrenchmenti IN a
public expenditures and a reductio
of salaries to correspond with the d
minished incomes of the people.
