trouble is, sir that you " no ask the question
don't understand what Greenbacker is y If
you find a man that goes for the good of all

a Greenbacker If you find man in the
community who goes for the interest of labor
and the laboring man, as have defined him,
that man is Greenbacker, and that is the
term that should he applied to him. 1t is a
term which covers everything, lust as the
word abolutionist once covered every man
that was in favor Of human freedom. If you
find a man that wants special privileges, that
wants to tive upon the earnings of others that
man is not a Greenbacker. | don't care W hat
he tells you. II he wants to get the advan-
tage OF his neighbOr. if he wants to cheat on
town taxes, that man is not Green hacker;

Again, a man Is a Greenbacker W hO believes
that the intelligence of the many is better

country than the culture OF the few. That
man IS Greenbacker, too, who believes that
this government IS for the many and not for

who leave it for the benefit OF the few any
longer, and if you de, your children and your
