General DURBIN WARD, OF Ohio. lead
ing Democrat and platform man,
has Just delivered an able speech at Mans
field, Ohio, upon the greenback subject. He
brings to bear upon it a great amount Of
common sense aud practical experience.
Some OF his sentences are very spungent.
We gave the speech yesterday, but It will
do no harm to reproduce . ewsentences
g Wealth is not wind, but the substantial
product Of labor. Wealth is the legitlmately
begotten child OF industry and economy:
Labor needs money that will buy at par,
not sell at discount. A llour dollars should
be equal in value. Value money IS the
friend OF the industrious poor fat money
is the vision OF the dreamer or the tool OF
the asmagogue. OF real money the conn-
try can never have too much; OF sham
money it can never have too little.0
