The anti-monopolist., 1877-11-15

The first gun in congress for cur.
rency reform had no uncertain sound
or effect. Ewing manned it and he
had millions at his back.
The People of Pittsburg says very |
truly: "The Sheriffs are the busiest
men. The bankers are making the
most money. The industries are dy-
ing. and yet there are people who say
we do not need a new party.
The Labor-Greenback movement
has this year captured the people
sympathies: next year it will have
| two-thirds of both houses OF Congress;
and in 1880 it will capture the White
House. After that Shylock will take
back seat.
| The executive committee OF the
workingmen's party of the United
States Social Democrats), whose head
quarters this year are at Chicago, mas
announced that a congress of the par
ty will be held at Newark, \. ). on
November 26.
The New York Times is advised
from Washington that the committee
on banking and currency-composeu
of seven Greenbackers and tour Dui-
Ilionists-means business. and VIII aD,

the country at once.
The largest demonstration that mas
ever taken place in Scranton. Pa, was
that of the Labor -Greenback party on
, the night of Oct. 25. Over three tnou
sand persons marched in PROCESSION

WHERE is THE GREENBACK
TOT'E?

This is the question some will ask.
Here is part of the answer:
Meeker county used to give 500
republican majority. Now the returns
read as follows:
Litchfeld-Pillsbury LAG; Banning $50.
aGreenleaf-Pillsbury %; Banning o.
Manannah-Pillsbury II; Banning 7s
Cedar Mills-Pillsbury 19; Banning %.
Forest Clty-Pillsbury &c. Banning 81:
Harvey-Pilsbury 26; Banning 78. Ban
ming carries the county.
Look at these returns from Olmsted
county, which formerly gave 1000 Re-
publican majority:

United States bonds, which are ex-

interest it is to make a special STUDY
Of the legislation contemplated ny
Congress, has discovered that the DlllS
for silver reconciliation and the re-
peal Of the resumption act Will pass
both houses of Congress, but that the
president will veto them and the
two-thirds vote needed to pass them
over the veto cannot be obtained.
Elections for congressman make
1879 important to the friends OF cur
rency reform. They should prepare
for them forthwith. In congress the
great battle is to be fought, being
fought at this moment by Ewing,
Kelly, Butler, and the other cham,
pions of the people. No time should
be lost in organizing for next year
contest. The bankers are united ano
vigilant; if the people are not so they
deserve defeat and will have 1t.

tivate the same, it has been proposed by
several, that County Literary Associa-
tion be organized, and that an annual
competitory meeting be held in the
county under the control and auspices of
such Association, upon plan approx
mating the Oak Hill Eisteddfod, or any
other plan that may be agreed upon,
that will induce all in the county to par
ticipate in the exercises, and for the pur-
pose of conference upon the subject. and
If thought advisable to organize such an
Association, it is suggested that meet
ing consisting of one at least from every
community, say every Church or Sabbath
School in the county be held in Jack
son; therefore, meeting will be held in
Jackson on the 9th day of January,
1877, at l o'clock P. NJ, and every Sab
bath School in the county is requested
20 send at least one representative. Let
there be full attendance of all that feel
an interest in movement of the kind.
