Thos. c. Hoy. Verona. Miss. July
2'.-Times are very close--no money
IN the hands of the people until after
the cotton crop begins to move. The
Greenback cause is gaining ground
very fast, and likely to become popular
with the people.

people are waking up. Go on with
the glorious work. Let the greenback
wave roll on until, like the deluge of

zens of Martins Ferry met and organ

gaining strength rapidly. The light

much gratified to see the firm stand
you take for the peoples cause

j. $. Barnum. Princeville. H.,
July 23.--Our Greenback Club no.
49, is doing splendidly. Have been
around among the people considerable
lately, and find more awake to the
perils Of the times than | had looked
tor or expected. The great destiny

not find words to express my graft
tude for the bold and vigorous course
you have taken in favor of one of the
most important measures (the curren-
cy question:, which agitates the public
mind. With your continued efforts
in the cause of freedom, united with
those of the producing classes, the
yoke OF the money autOcracy must
surely be cast from our necks before
1879.
Jas. II. Wood, Detroit. Mich,

is an enemy to their interests. and
neglect to read papers working for
them. | am determined to patronize
none but Greenback papers.
Geo. T. Colcord, Sheldon. Iowa,
July 2l.--We have astrong greenback
element all though this section,
which would be much greater if the
people could be enlightened upon the

that the friends of the Greenback
cause in this place have concluded to

men the best fight they can this fall.
1t strikes me that now is the time to
work. when there is no important
election on hand. Experience has
taught me that but little can be accom-
pllshed by a new party when every
effort IS put off to the eve of an i'm
