The bottom is out of the hard.
money party at last!
Secretary Sherman takes the back.
track. After running the country
he now says some one else is response.
BILE for it. After plotting to wipe out
the6 Greenbacks, after burning $18,.
O0O, 900 of them in one month and is.
suing national bank notes in their
place, he suddenly realizes that he
loves greenbacks tenderly. dearly,
everlastingly. The other day in
Ohio he defended the national banks
as wise and necessary part of our
permanent financial system. Now he
declares that as soon as resumption
is accomplished he will let the national
banks slide! Verify, Maine has ac.
complished wonders!!
Here is an extract from an inter.
view with Secretary Sherman, pub.
lished Sunday last in the Washington
Sunday Republic:
What do you think, Mr.. Sherman,
will be the general effect of the Maine
election on the Republican party !
This was a leading question. but was
answered without hesitation. Il
think, says Mr.. Sherman, that, there
exists very great misapprehension
on the subject of national finance.
Of course. large number Of recruits
to the National party have been
1ra"n from the Republican party, in
Iact. some Of the very men who were
tne nrst to take up anti-slavery doe
trines, seem to be the first to imbibe
greenback notions. These men. in
becoming greenbackers, do not cease
20 pc Republicans, and can never be
come Democrats. Ny financial policy

back vote in Maine, some of our daily
papers have said that it was owing to
the fact that in some parts of that
State the people have no money, and
do all their trade by traffic. Be this
as it may, ali trade is but traffic, though
it be for gold and silver, if they have
not the fat of government on them
to make them money. Suppose the
article is wagon. A passes it to B,
and B to C, and so on. It is plain
that such traffic would be cumbersome
and not as easily conveyed from one
to another as a greenback. Let a
greenback then represent it, and the
wagon could be put to use, and no
longer be unproduct;ve capital as it
would be when passing from one to
another. Would yon not suggest to
the owner of the wagon to represent
it by paper, and he could keep the
wagon to use? Gold and silver, like
that wagon, are unproductive capital
so long as they are used as money
Let them be represented by paper,
and they could at once be turned into
channels Of use in the arts and scien.
ces, and our exchanges with other
countries. This would increase our
productive capital by the whole
amount of gold and silver in the
land. 1t would relieve them from
doing service as MONEY, and we could
apply them to other uses. These
metals locked up in the treasury OF
in the vaults of banks. are dead pro
perty, and so far from being nseful
might as we'll have remained in the
ores Of their native mines, or be sunk
in the depths Of the sea. Make them
merchandise, and use greenbacks fol
money, and it would increase our pro
ductive capital by the whole amount
we use. 1t would enable us to pay
our debts and yet have our money te
use. Then we need not take the wa
gon over to Mr.. b. s; we can keep il
to ride Improving that the economic:
of the greenback system of finance
are boundless multiplying capita
which is the great want of most peo
pie, and spurring industry into new
ane unwonted activity. Let us ther
demonetize gold and silver, and make
the greenback our only money, and il
would at once place all classes of peo
| pie on the road to wealth.

e The faith of the government is
the only guarantee for the payment
of our interest-bearing bonds, yet
these bonds are always above par.
The legal-tender greenback should be
worth IS much as the bond, for it has
the same guarantee. Then why should
the government pay over q hundred
millions annually as interest, when
the greenback is equally good, and
upon which there IS no interest!
