OUR FUTURE.

The American people. of all other
people, should profit from experience
and example, because they are free
thinkers, and so far-with the exception
of when "Grant's" bayonets restrained
them-free actors.
In the mutation and disruption OF
parties revenges by political leaders are
more frequently sought than the good
of the people in the formation OF new
parties, or in the legislation of the old
ones, therefore it behooYes the masses
to be watchful of The current OF events !;
they know what it is that gives power
money! combined with or backing
official position. What President was
ever avowedly proclaimed 10 be the
representative of the money power
Grant! Who is that power and the gov
eminent vampires looking forward TO
now-Grant! Then, dear people, you
who value your political liberties, be
aware of the snares, the syrcn song TO
delude, will be TO crush communism,
Labor VS.. Capital, things that have not
and cannot exist to any effective extent
in this country, but which will be eeh-
oed to misIead and alarm the law-lov-
Ing people!

OUR DELEGATES.

We feel warranted in saying that the
delegates, Messrs. Lewis and Melvin,
who are elected to represent this coun-
ty in the next Legislature, are entirely
in accord with the Greenback party in
all of its legitimate issues. They are
first in favor of making the greenback
dollar equal in its paying and purchas-
ing capacity with the gold and silver
dollar. They favor the paying off of
the National debt as it falls due, accord
ing to the original contract. They ia
vor the government receiving its own
money in payment of its import dues
They are opposed TO the people being
taxed to duplicate the bondholders' cap
ital by paying interest on the bonds,
and then give him money on his bond
to loan or otherwise invest. They favor
the taxing of the bonds or the income
thereon, and are opposed to all class or
special legislation either by State or
general government. They are square,
honest men, cannot be bought by free
passes or the hope Of future political ell
ovation. They are not politicians-they
are farmers of high characters and intel
ligence; business men with 6rmness and
vim enough to decide upon their course
of duty and zealously execute it.

Standard says:-
Encountering Col. Frank Burr, yes
terday morning, looking as fresh as if
he had not just been defeated for Con-
gress, a representative of the Republic
remarked that he had seen it stated in
the New York papers that the Green
back party had collapsed.
COLLAPSED h-lT replied the genial
Frank.
"What! don't you think it petered
out in October?'
"Why over in West Virginia, the
Greenbackers have carried one District
in which there was seven thousand
Democratic majority two years ago,
In my district they polled an immense
vote for id old fool, and they would
have polled just as big vote for The
devil himself. There was Boyd Faux
ner who had 1900 Democratic major
ity in his Senatorial District. Yet the
Greenbackers brought that down to
nearly nothing, Notwithstanding that
Boyd had old Charles James, and all
the family working for him. Collapsed!
Why if the Democratic candidates
hadn't been soft-money men the Green
hackers would have carried the State by
ten thousand majority.
