A Natural Consequence.

When the greenback craze first struck Maine
Mr.. Patten OF Newport was an early convert to
the plausible theories of the lstter-day political
economists, and being a man of local influence
was made President of greenback club. At
that time MIR. Patten had not examined The ques-
ton, but his interest being excited, he began to
study the subject. A, he proceeded 10 hi, search
for the truth, he became convinced that gree D.
backism as propounded by Messrs. Butler, Voor-
eees, Pomeroy snd Sam Cary was not only a
wild deiusion but a fatal snare. True to his con-
vcton, Mr.. Patten Withdrew from the club, and
now proposes to go forth in the pending campaign
and tell Others the reasons which impelled him to
leave the iofation quasmire and come up to the
safe, hard ground OF al honest money. Mr..
Patterns conversion has led to the resignation of
other prominent men 10 the Newport club, and
will be followed by general reorgan il alton.
This is only a natural consequence. Wherever
there is Greenback club that contains members
with degree of candor which will lead them to
impartially Investigate the subject and the intel
ligence to weigh facts and results, all such will
withdraw rs soon as they have given attention to
the matter. In few weeks the Greenback parly
in Maine will be mainly made up of those business
and political Mcswbero who are waiting for some
thing to turn up.-Boston journal.

From the Saco Independent.
Who are the Greenbackers.
We answer.


First. The glib tongued, cunning demazogues,
who think little Of and care less for the good of
the country, who have pinned and figured many
years for otlce-have been ready to join any com
bina'ion TO obtain it--who have outwitted them
selves and Away, faing, have grown truculent,
and fancied they have been moderated.
Second. Many of those who never think at all
for themselves but take then religious creeds from
their ministers, and their politics from their lead
ers. These men are honest in the main, but cred.
Observation-Disclosures weak
Third. The schemers who are always coniry-
ing new ways to do old things. They always
adopt the newest theology-the W ldest systems
of government They believe in outdoing AL
mighty Power. in the possibility Of navigating the
sir-extractng rays Of light from cucumbers-in
converting dirt into gold, or making a substitute
they firmly believe in Symms' hole at the North
pole 10 them, Jules Vernes trip to the centre of
the EARTH the Arabian Nights entertainment and
the midsummer night dream, are veriiable his
tory. These vlsiOnsries are all gree nbackers-
Neophyte Socialists, and are TO be treated com.
passlonstey Ike other monoms iacs. You can't
reason with them but you can ridicule and shame
them.
Fourth. Those who are too lazy to wotk-the
imbeclIes who cant wOrk-the fathless who will
engage TO work, aud cheat their employers-eye
servants; those who denouce all rich men as rob
befs--cail ihe widow aud orphans whO have To-
vested 'he pltisncs lsft them 10 government stocks
boated bondholders-those who dcstry moving
and reaping machines and are ready to set fire to
buildings for the sake of plumber. Every man of
these is = greenbacker first and a Soc list soon

A Communist Cornered.

Hewitt's labor invest eating committee
in New York has examined several labor
agitators. Friday. Robert Bartholomee,
chairman of delegation from the Social
istic Labor Party of America" was before
the committee. The question was asked
Bartholomew, whether. if a man earned
$4,000, he should not be paid that
amount. The answer was. Certainly"
''Then suppose man earns $4,000, he is
to be paid that amount ?' Certainly"
again said Bartholomew. Then suppos-
ing that the man that earns Sl0,0 don t
spend but $4,000. what is he to do with

SCION Chase in 1871 and 1878.

Scion Chase is coming to kennebec
county to speak in favor of absolute
money! that is, irredeemable currency.
In 1871, this same Scion Chase issued a
Poor Mans Tract" in which he dis
coursed of the hardships and difficulties
under which The poor man then laoored.
and attributed them to the lying paper
currency, -greenbacks-whlch he then
opposed vehemently bat now advocates as
strongly as he once opposed. In the tract
which we mention above, after kindly pro-
vidng a surplus revenue of Sl1OOOo,OoO
annually for the government, he gives his
testimony in favor of specie payments, as
follows
with this sum specie payments can be resumed
at once, and the promise that Is written on the
face of the greenbsck to pay the dollar, made
good. This would give Bill good dollar for his
work. and the wounded veteran good money for
his pension which is only justice and fair play to
Bill and the veteran, that is, Bill not only would
work for gold wages he does now, but would
buy his goods at gold prices, and thereby save an
other large item of the 1854 81 that is pressed ont
of him annually. SPECIE PAYMENTS Is
THE ONE THING NEEDFUL IN OUR PRES
ENT CONDITION, AND WILL CURE Us OF
MANY FINANCIAL ILLS. The moment you
have got specie payments Pendletons and Buffers
theory of pay ing the bonds 10 greenbacks, which
means neither more OF less than more aud meaner
money, becomes obsolete If Congress in its
blunderings, did not agree to pay the principal of
the bonds in gold, it ought to have agreed to, aud
specie payments will make the agreement what it
ought to be. The wit of man cannot devise any
scheme that will bring about specie payments
other than redeeming gresnbacks with gold; that
is, let somebody else have some good money be-
sides the bondholders."
In 1871 Scion Chase argued that specie
payments was the one thing neediul, that
greenbacks were mean money. that they
were unjust TO the laborer and the pen
sioner, that gold was the money of the
bondholder; in 1873, when the govern
ment is just on the point OF realizing all
that Chase desired seven Years ago, our
former demag0gue turns up an arrant
Qreenbacker. red-hot for more paper
money, and denouncing resumption AS a
scheme in the interest of bloated bond
holders! Let us hear from Mr.. Chase in
relation to Poor Bill, the bottonier," in
1871.

A Christian View of 1t.

From lions Herald (Methodist.)
He Is true friend of the laboring man
who seeks to awaken the community to
his real sufferings, to show the inpoicy
aud poor economy, on the part of capital
lists, In limiting TO starvation prices the re-
Enumeration of his services, to secure mu-
tual interest by particip ition in the profit
by the workman with his employer, and
to elevate by every possible intellectual
stimulant the industrial class in the COM
munity. But he is an insane man and an
enemy to the laborer and to the communi-
ty who simply uses an unlicensed aud in
cendiary tongue t. arouse the passions OF
men and combine the ignorant and vicious
classes of the community in crusade
against civilization and the rights of 9TH
ers, who, by'industry, thrift and temper
ance, have accumulated properly. There
is yet much 10 be done to equalize the di-
vision OF the income of capital and labor
between the capitalist and the workman.
Their interests are really common, al
though capital has the temporary advan-
tage in struggle for mastery. The
leaven of the Christian religion has al
ready removed slavery, feudalism, and
largely the tyranny of kings; it can solve
this most delicate question, even against
the selfishness of man. Here is the true
tribunal Of appeal. The Christian states
man, minister, and capitalist, should
be the willing apostles of this gospel of
goodwill to man but such narrow,
vicious, unprinciped revolutionsts as
Kearney. living without work upon the
hard-earned money of their beguied and
betrayed clients, should only receive the
reprobation Of all the real friends of the
laboring man.
