IN FAVOR OF THE GREENBACK.
The Republican State Convention of
Kansas, in session at Topeka, the other day
made the following emphatic declaration
in favor Of a greenback currency to take
the place Of the National bank notes:
Fifth--That experience has shown the
g~reenback currency, the creation OF tho
Republican party, and under whose foster
ing care it has been brought to a par with
coin, to be admirably adapted to the a
Of trade and, to the end that there may
be but one class Of paper currency, we
favor a withdrawal of the National bank
notes, substituting therefor a ~grccnback
currency issued directly by the Govern
mcnt as the sole paper currency OF the
country; and we demand hat it be issued
in sufficient volume to fully meet the wants
Of business without depreciating its value,
and that it shall be received in payment of
all debts and dues, public and private, ex-
cept as otherwise specified by contract; that
we are in favor Of an honest greenback that
shall always be worth its face in coin, and
that it be issued in the largest volumes
that can be kept afloat at par with coin, to
which end we favor the passage Of q law by
Congress by which the volume of green
back currency in circulation shall always
obey the natural law Of supply and de-
mahd.
The significance of the adoption of a
declaration Of this kind by a strong Re-
publican State lies in its indicating infalli-
bly, the drift Of public opinion on the cur
rency question. As we have said before,
Senator Thurman has performed great
public service in endeavoring to confine
the financial issue to the single question
shall greenbacks be issued in place Of the
National bank notes? In each of the
parties there are now three smaller parties
Ono in favor of an exclusive currency of
| gold and silver and bank notes issued by
| the ordinary mercantile agencies-banks
| OF circulation and discount; another in
favor Of q uniform paper currency issued
by the Government-equal to the wants Of
trade and kept at par with coin; and q third
in favor Of continuing our present mixed
- - Nv, alan oos1a IF nrl1 and all
yer. The first party want to retire in
time both greenbacks and National bank
notes.-the ~greenbacks first and have the
country to depend upon banks organized
under State laws for currency the second
wish to retire National bank notes and
substitute for them greenbacks, and the
last want to continue indefinitely the pres
ent mixed currency. The first party is
small in numbers but Of considerable abil-
ity ; the last is led by Secretary Sherman,
who has . large following but in view of
the spread Of the greenback movement
| and the deliberate choice of the Senator
| Thurman's lead by the Republican Con
yention Of Kansas, there can be little
doubt that, if the matter were referred to
. popular vote, three-quarters Of the peo-
pie Of this country would vote in favor Of
the substitution Of greenbacks for National
bank notes. 1t will not do to quarrel with
facts, and the fact is that g~reenbacks are
popular and National banks very unpop-
ular. For our part. we are opposed to
