THE oREHNRAcKERs.

OF fuE fiedged party. What
they expect to accomplish is at
present involved in mystery.
1t is conceded that as the mat
ter stands now they are
playing into the hands OF the
Republicans, this party, except
in a few counties in the south
ern part of the State, is in a
hopeless minority as the two
parties now stand. II the
Greenbackers can succeed in
drawing off from the Democrat
ic party any considerable NUM-
Der they may in some localities
have it in their power to defeat
the Democrats in local Offices,
and perhaps manage to elect a
few members to the Legisla-
ture, but can only accomplish
this by uniting with the Repub-
licans.. The prime movers in
this Grcenback movement are
men of no prominence, or are
dissatisfied Democrats who
have failed to obtain political
preferment at the hands of the
Democrat arty. The mem
bers, of Greenback party, as
a general thing. are not men
noted in their respective locali-
ties for intelligence, thrift, en-
ergy or force of character. They
are for the most part individu-
ais who have to great extent
made a failure in life and who
feel dissatisfied, not only with
themselves but with mankind in
general. They say that by the
adoption Of their financial poll
cy money will be made plenty,
and with plenty of money will
come prosperous times. The
government has issued its sol
emn obligations in the way of
bonds; these bonds are to be
paid il xcertain kind OF money
arc. a specified rate of in
- 5 be paid in specified
I'd in a given time. 1t is
led by the new party to
gate the contracts entered
IS by the government, and
pay off the entire indebtedness
at one fell swoop F" by calling
in all the bonds and issuing
pieces of paper bearing the
legend this is absolute mon
ey." What is to prevent
the same power that creates
this absolute money from repu-
dating it in the same way it re-
pudiated the bonds which were
replaced by its issue? Gold and
silver has been the money of
the world for all time and will
probably continue to be for all
ime to come. The issue of an
irredeemable and inconvertable
paper currency would soon
make silver, dollar worth as
much as three or perhaps FIVE
dollars in paper.
II has been shown time and
again that the Democratic par
ty is not responsible for the
present stringency of the times;
every effort at the part of the
House of Representatives in
Congress to effect financial
Legislation for the relief of an
oppressed people was defeated
by Republican majority in the
Senate. This is abundantly
proved by the fate of the bill
for the repeal Of the resump-
ton act. The platforms lately
adopted by several democratic
conventions have the true ring
and are sufficiently greenback
to answer all reasonable de-
mands. The people demand
one kind of money for them
selves and the government:
they demand the equalization
of treasury notes and gold and
silver. If the Democratic party
is not disrupted by the machi-
nations of the new party this
result will surely be accom-
plished. The Democracy alone
can do il.

with more interest and pleasure, than
that Of the Literary Club. The last

listening to the reading of the Hawthorn,

was done with that self-possession, dig
nifty and grace, that have won for her so
many friends in Hartford. Soon after
