Second Congressional District
NORTHFIELD Oct. *.

ANVIL OCUs 10. 1878.
Mr.. Henry Lindsey, chairman of
the National Greenback committee of
the second congressional district:
DEAR SIR:-I think it best to com.
municate to you what have to say
in reference to my being a candidate
for congress. through the ANTI-Mo-
NoPOLIsT. You say that you left the
convention on the 18th, at Mortified
with the expectation las I did not re-
fuse after the vote was made unani-
nous and so declared by the chair
MANI that l should be the candidate.
| also learn that this was the under
standing OF nearly all the delegates.
Now it was not for want of faith in
the greenback principles, for 1 believe
as believe in God that they are all
right; and if adopted. las l am sure
they will beg, they will give peace and
prosperity to our beloved country.
L wanted a candidate nominated with
! the ability, time and means to go to
every school house in the district and
preach the greenback gospel, and
| spend time and money in the cause,
expecting the honor Or profits of an
office. Now il my being a candidate
will help recruit and make effective
the great National Greenback army
that are pushing on to victory, then
1t is my duty and l will be subject to
the order of the committee, to meet
the electors at any point in the dis
trlct, and tell them Of our faith; and
you are at liberty to say to the Re-
publican or Democratic committee
that will divide the time with either
OF their candidates at any place in
the district mot less than three) that
you can agree upon, and let the cleo
tors judge who is right on the ques-
ton of finance.
Now, gentlemen, come out, the
time is short; let us make it lively.
The people are anxious to hear your
pledges.Iand if you betray them, and
should ever return that the people
will take just vengeance.

The Anti-Monop olist,

account of the meetings, respectively:
OF Mr.. Donnelly and Mr.. Marshall at
this place. The former spoke here on
the Sd to large audience, occupying
fully two hours, during which time
there was the most intense attention,
and at the close of the speech three
rouslng cheers were given by the de.
lighted multitude.
Gov. Marshall was here on the 9th,
the assemblage being so meagre that
it was not deemed proper to occupy
the hall where the Mr.. Donnelly had
spoken, and the little audience re-
NAMED in Mr.. Fusher's store, on the
counters and on boxes, while the ex.
governor blackguarded Mr.. Donnelly.

ment among the masses is strongly
for Mr.. Donnelly. There is no enIhn.
siasm for Washburn, and why
First-He killed off all respect in
the breast of all honest Republicans
by his treatment of Doctor Stewart.
Second-There is nothing in his per.
sonal business OF political character

Third-the principles he is suppos.
ed to entertain--for he advocates
nothing-are not popular amongst the
people.
On the other hand Mr.. Donnelly is
enlightening and electlifying the pub
lie mind. and the doctrines he so ably
advocate are spreading rapidly
amongst the people. Many Republi
cans openly declare that they wont
vote for Washburn. while others avov
their intention to vote directly fol

THE NATIONAL BANKS.

This is the way that five men with
mbined capital of only $50, 1000, star
e d a National bank with 100000 Of
capital, and which drew firm the gov
eminent $4,000 yearly in semi annual
gold interest, and yet had $40, 900 to
loan out on short time at one per cent
a month. This made the annual income
of the bank $25, 200, or more than so
per cent on the capital they had to
start with. In this consideration we
take no account of the amount they
save by their bonds being exempt from
taxation, nor the amount they gained
by purchasing their bonds at less than
their face value.
They 60 to New York and get a
friend to endorse for tho new bank
their note for $4,000, get that note
discounted, and take the money, with
their own $4,000, and buy govern
ment bond,of 100000, which they de-
post with the government and get $780,
600 in national bank notes. They pay
up their borrowed money and have 49,
600 left. These they get exchanged
into greenbacks, borrow again, this
tt m $50, 900, and buy second 100000
bond which they deposit as before, and
get their $50, 900 in BAN ~o+ne T
pay up their borrowed n.-.. !.
100000 left. Not satisfied with tn
capital, they repeat the process. Bor-
row again $4,000, add thir 10000,
and buy third 100000 bond, get
their 100000, pay their Indebtedness,
and have $4,000 left. They repeat
the same process once more, and the re-
suit is-they have 100000 of 6 per
cent bonds, drawing gold interest of
$4,000 yearly, and they have $4,000
left to do business with.
Now do we not see the reason why
the wealth of the country has not gone
into business instead of bonds. It u
because it can roll up its enormous in
terest SO much faster with banks and
bonds, and because it is so much safer.
The banks get interest not only on
what they OWN, but on what they actu-
ally OWE-even up to fifty per cent,
While the farmer cannot even average
three. And all this comes out of the
workingmen's pockets. We pay the
interest on the bonds, and then hire
money of the banks and pay them an
enormous interest for the use of the
money which the government furnishes
them for nothing. We becomes slaves
to the money power. 1t binds the
shackles OF interest upon our limbs.
shall we arise in our might and burst
them asunder! Or shall we tamely
submit to our degradation and servi-
tund, by voting the Republican ticket?

WHEREAS, the old political parties
offer no relief, but are, on the con-

sources of all wealth. We call upon

1t looks very much as if the Green.
hackers might carry several states this
fall, and prevent an election in some
others. Should this happen, we have
no doubt it would have good effect
upon business; for, persons who have
no confidence in the present admins
tration, and others who are tired Of
party rule, would begin to feel as if
we were to have a change, and cOnse-
quently take courage and make one
more effort to avoid bankruptcy. ANY
change would be better than to sub.
nit longer to bank rule, no matter
how poor. People are as tired of the
continued fall in prices as castaway
crew would be with neither food nor
drink. With Greenback success will
comeabusiness prosperity.
