positions with aay one, and although

the challenge has never been ac-
cepted.
/. The national banking system 60

n 2. The demand for specie payment
on the part or the banker is not made
in good faith and is dishonest.
3. That the circulating medium has
been contracted more than one-half
since the close of the war. and that
all the ruin, bankruptcy, misery and
destitution is directly caused by this
enormous shrlnkage in the volume Of

4. That the currency was contructed
not for the purpose of resuming specie
payments, but to increase the pur-
chasing power of the money and to
increase the wealth Of the money

TIE EDITOR S RULES.

If an editor never Published any
thing but what accorded with his own
opinion his sheet would be Il very
tame one sided affair.
Every one has Il right to his own
opinion, whether that opinion be
right or wrong, and has right to
freely expresit.
No editor should be held response
bic for the opinion of IL correspondent;
but by admitting correspondent to
his columes, the editor should admit
auy one to answer him who wishes to
do so.
If a correspondent SANDERS any one
the person sllndered has a righn to
the name of the correspondent. unless
the editor will assume the SANDER by
endorsing the article.
Every one has right to his own
private reputation. To take it from
him is either theft or robbery. Yet
criticising and condemning the pub
lie acts of individuals is not neces.
sarily q smirking of character for
bad official ac.s may be simply an
error in judgment. and every human
being is lia' le thus to err.

| c. 1t seems to me that it is yo,
who evade the point, and this wa.
that there must be value in the

is in the cloth. and not in the yard

it good at its face value, as U,uch as
you are to make your note good; and
we had rather trust the government
than you or any other banker.
A.-But we want gold. standard
money that has value in it.
Give admit that some things
have more value in them than others;
for instance, a greenback has more
value than a National bank bill, for
the greenback is legal-tender and
will pay any debt, but your bill no
one is obliged to take.
B.-But how can we know the
value of any thing, if it were not for

G.-Then why not make your
measure of iron since this IS more
useful than gold, and more plenty
But cannot get the idea out of my
head that a piece Of broadcloth would
be worth just as much ii measured
with q stick Of wood, as with bar of
gold. Money should be made of the
cheapest material possible. because all
the value put into the material is SO
much useless capital. Paper is such a
material. and with the government
stamp as absolute money, will answer
all the purposes of gold, and thus per-
NIT that metal to enter into the
purposes of commerce and the arts.

Everybody knows that money must

ALL ABOUT MONEY,

Dialogue between Banker and
Greenbacker.
Banker ou Greenbackers believe
inan irredeemable currency, and are
rushing the country to ruin.
Greenhacker.-Ah, that's news;
where did yon get your information
BIN the tact that you demand a
kind of money that has no value in it.
Glow have you learned that it
is necessary for money to have value
in it. in order to be redeemablel You
give your note. and the paper of the
note has no value i'm it, but when it
becomes due you pay it, So the
Greenback is redeemed by the gov.
ernment every time it receives one
from any body. 1t is not necessary
for money to have value in itself.
It's Office is simply to declare value.
B.--But there must be value in the
measure. Sir. like the yardstick for
the cloth. The measure determines
the value of the cloth.
G.-Indeed. do you think a ward.
stick of gold, would make golden
cloth. or a yard stick of wood make
wooden clothi Would not the cloth be
just IS valuable measured with a
thread. as If measured with q rod OF

B.-You evade the poiat. A piece
Of paper though stamped dollar By
the government is Of no value unlese

and now repudiate them and retus. to
take them back for .nore than 80 cents.
Was this honest? Then they coined
subsidiary money and forced it upon
the people when dollar OF it weighs
only 3S5 grains instead of 412 IL.
Was this honest! What act has the
Republi .an party ever done in regard
to our finances which is honest !
What law have they ever passed that
is just and right! Have they not all
been in the interes.. of the bondholders
and against the interest Of the people !!
Take the national Banks: it may be
said that their bills are not money;
and they are not, but they were
printed to circulate as money. Was
this honest! And their bills can never
be at par with gold. The one can
pay a debt the other cannot, and
t lie government may resume
them out of being they can never be
81 good as gold. Was this honest! So
our present greenbacks must be made
afull gal tender-for that must be
dishonest money which the govern
ment forces a u.an to take whom it
owes, and then refuses to take it back
when the man owes the government.
The country has not seen any honest
money for the last sixteen years, nor
is there any p: :obability that it will
under Republican rule. Now Mr..
Window scratch your ticket from
beginning to end scratch it ALL
out. and then vote for the Greenback
and you will cast one honest vote.

BURROWS ON GREENBACKS.


Mr.. R. K. Burrows of Rice city
after quoting 80 lines from this paper.
which lie attributes 20 Mr.. Donnelly,
instead of the editor as he should
have done, adds:
"When in Pine City. Mr.. Donnelly
was asked in public how coin was to be
interest on bonds and provide a sink.
ing fund for redemption of green.
backs when its resources for coin
were cut off by making custom: duties
payable in greenhacks: He evaded
the question, but through his paper
we now get his answer and shall pro-
ceed to dessect it"
When the bonds are all paid up and
cremated. which the greenback sys-
tenn demands, the government will
have no occasion to get coin to pay in-
terest on them; and with greenbacks
made absolute money, a sinking fund
for their redemption would be as alb.
surd aa a sinking fund for the re.
demption of gold coin.
Ignoring the fact which he as a
man Of intelligence must know: that
this plan has been tried by France in
John Law scheme and the issue of
assignates by the directory; by Aus
tri.. in the issue of paper ilorians; by
Sweden in the issue of Il non-redeema-
bic paper currency; by our forefathers
during the revolutionary war in con-
tinental money; by Buenos Ayres a
South American state whose money
Is now worth three cents on the dol
lar. Even the negroes in uayti have
discovered this easy mode of making
money and are now blessed with il pa
per currency worth five cents on the
dollar and falling so our readers can
see that the thick skulled negro is Ca.
pable of comprehending and putting
in force this splendid financial
scheme"
The editor does not know that the
greenback system Of finance has been
tried by France or Austria, or Sweden
or Bueuos Ayres, or Hayti, or any
other nation; for not one of these cases
have come any nearer than our old
continental money, and how near
that came the reader may learn by
consulting an article under this head
ing in another column. Hence the
statement that this plan has been
tried is FALSE. The nearest approach
to lt.that ever was made (save our
present greenhack currency WAS that
of Ancient Venice which will be
found in another column. and TO
which we invite the candid cons; ;dera.
tion of Mr.. Burrows. We add anoth.
er extract, but it does not deserve a
kick. When Mr.. B. is better inform
ell he will be ashamed of such state
ments. R.T.
''But we or at leass some of us,
wish to go back to the good reliable
money our forefat..ers used, in colo
nial times. Continental money is
good enough for us. and we with u
currency which like that will pass us
quickly through these pleasing pro-
cesses. Imitation, depreciation. repu.
diation. This latter is just what this
greenback movement MEANS"

THINGS MOST SINGULAR.

Asa nation we are deeply indebted.
The aggregate is much more than
mGst people can easily comprehend.
The assessed valuation of all the
property both real and personal in the
whole state of Minnesota is less than
cne tenth part of it. 1t would take
more than ten such states as Min
nesota 10 pay it: and if we computed
the interest at 10 per cent, the interest
would eat up one whole state like
Minnesota every year. Minnesota
every year. 1t would eat I'D all the
farms, and houses, and barns. and
Cattle and horses. and agricultural i'm.
plements, and household furniture.
and cities and mills and every thing
else. The Ancient Egyptians wor-
sh!ped Il crocodile: bu. suppose IA
monster crocodile us big rs the half
OF our globe with jaws 80 extended
that they would reach from Iowa to
British America and from Wisconsin
to Dakota; should make Il dinner of
the State, and insist on repeating its
Its dinner every year; whata calamity
1t would be to the world How
many thousands would enlist at once
to Kill the monster Yet in "a Erura.
tive sense that monster lives and ia
making yearly meals of our fair
states! And yet So idolatrous are
the people that they worship the
crocodile; and will fight in maddened
rage every one who proposes to rid
the world of the monster! Is it not
most singular
1t is most singular that people want
to pay interest on a gread bonded
debt. when they can issue greenbacks
and pay off the bonds, and save the
interest.
ANOTHER srNGuLARITY.
This great debt is not going to one
person. 1t is divided up among 4
great many. and is represented by
little bits OF paper which bear in.
terest, and some crazv people propose
to change them into other bits of
paper which do not bear interest.
Now great political party comes in
and tells us that it was constitutional
to issue the interest bearing paper
but it viii be unconstitutional to issue
that which does not. In other words
that the constitution requires the
interest. the constitution upholds the
crocodile. the constitution prevents
his destruction, and enslaves the
people to this terrible idolatry. Is it
not most singular tha. this constitu
tion which the people made. is taking
the social life of the very people who
made it
1t is most singular that Republicans
admit that bond is constitutional.
but say that greenback is not. when
the difference between them is only 4
matter of interest.
Some very singular things exist.
