AS General Cary sat down on the

Convention of the National Greenback
party, will the bullion papers still con-

The farmer who has 500 acres of
land and help enough round him to
carry it on, if he can be protected by
steady prices. adds pile of wealth to
the nation every year. But if he is
robbed by law that shrink his cattle
as fast as they grow and cut down
the price of wood 80 per cent. in a
year, while his debts and taxes re-
main the same, he soon becomes land
poor. He discharges his help. and
bushes grow up in his fields. While
the farmer is driven by falling prices
from the home he has created by
honest toll, the bondholder grows
richer, because one of his untaxed
bonds will buy 80 per cent. more
wood than it would last year.

A correspondent in Wilmington, n. |

IS entirely unorganiZed, and few of |
US propose to get it in shape under |
the National Labor party banner.
How shall we proceed!" Let as many
as interested in the matter come to-
gether, choose a president, vice-presi-
dent, secretary, and treasurer, adopt |
a finance and labor reform platform
and constitution and bylaws, and |
then go to work to build up the Or
ganization and extend it as much as
possible. There is good field for the
new movement in North Carolina, and
if our friends in Wilmington make a
good start we may look for rapid
progress and great results.
"We want speaker to set the
going here is a common
from Greenback-Lab men.
This want is not sufficient to keep the
back anywhere. Let the
believer in our principles go among
his neighbors, talk over what he has
read, lend his Greenback paper and |
re-lend it again and again, and never
lose an opportunity to make a point |
for Greenbacks. This IS the best way

him fresh spirit, and this spirit goes |

Kelley made Greenback speech in |

when he got it and read it. he deter !

result of Mr.. Chase's investigation
into the subject was his conversion to
the Greenback belief, in which he
has been growing stronger and strong

some thirty or forty thousand of the
men of Maine to the same way of
thinking. Now. the question is.
