Grccnback NOMlina tiOns,

The National Greenback party of
Portage county held their nominating
Convention at Citizens Hall in this
village on Wednesday of last week.
The attendance was not large, but
there was considerable earnestness
and enthusiasm manifested. The fol.
lowing ticket was put in nomination
Sheriff-R. Phelps, of Atwater.
Probate Judge-Jas. w GODDARD, X ent.
Clerk-Geo. p. Ticknor, Ravenna.
Commissioner-C. Blair. Mantua.
Coroner-Dr. Sloan, Rayenna.
The Resolutions adopted indorse
the State platform of the National
party, adopted at Columbus, and de-
mand the reduction of the salaries of
State and county officers. Mr.. Barry,
of Kent, made a speech bitterly de-
nouncing the State platform of the
party as being entirely too tame and
conservative; but it was endorsed
pretty unanimously all the same.
1t would seem as though men who
SO nearly agree as do the Democrats
and Grcenbackers on the great and
material issues of the campaign ought
not to fritter away their power by di-
vlding their votes on two tickets,
when by united and earnest action we
might repeat in Portage county the
result that has been accomplished in
Maine.

WAsHrNGroN dispatches announce

WASHINGTON dispatches announce
that the Republican Congressional
Committee are preparing circular to
be sent to the National Banks through
out the country, calling upon them to
contribute literally to the Republican
campaign fund. And yet the Repub-
lican patriots will continue 10 assert
that it is safe to intrust to these insti-
tutions the entire control of the finan-
ces of the country, which would place
the Government and people entirety
at their mercy. When the people SUBJ
NIT to this they will have greatly en-
dang cred their liberties If not entirely
lost them. The power to "coin money
and regulate the value thereof" is con-
| fided by the Constitution to Congress
alone, and Congress has no warrant to
delegate it to any other power or body.
The idea of Garfield and his follow
ers that Congress is more corrupt and
less to be depended upon than the fa-
vored parties to whom they might del.
cgate the power, is absurd. If the
agents of the people, chosen by them
cannot be trusted, how ridiculous il
is to suppose that they can trust
the delegation of the power to those
who are In no wise answerable to the
people for its exercise. To say that
the peoples Representatives cannot be
trusted with the exercise of the SOW.
ereign power of creating money con.
fided to them by the constitution is to
argue against the very theory of our
Government, the basis upon which oul
Institutions are founded.

Try were never so fOurishing; that
labor found steady employment at
remunerative prices; that the child
rcn of the humblcst did not need 60
barefootcd, and that the cottage and
cabin had never before been so we'll
supplied with the comforts of life.
Money was abundant: every body
knew it, and felt its inspiriting influ-
ence. And that condition Of prosper
ity continued until the fatal policy of
contracting the volume of currency to
enforce specie resumption was cstab-
lished in behalf of the interests of the
Money Power. These arc facts, winch
no figuring can shut from the rcmcm'
brance of those who lived at the close
of the war and who vet remain.

GARFIELD, in bis speech at the Ope-
ra House, Saturday night. insisted
that the times are good and the country
prosperous; to be sure, some large
concerns that have been improvident
and reckless have met with wreck and
ruin, but the masses of the people were
never more thrifty. Does such nom
sense require more than to be noted ?
Does not every section of the country
furnish indisputable evidence of its
utter f. !sity2

"From the best data attainable from
the statement of the public debt, it ap-
pears that when Secretary Sherman

the total funded debt of the nation was
officially stated at 81 ,697 ,697 500. On
the first of the present month it was

traction.
From the Gin, matt Enquirer.l
Mr.. HAYES, in his speech on the Fair
Grounds, near ST. Paul, MIMI, on the
9Th inst, stated that in 1865 the paper
currency OF the country consisted Of:

An itemized statement, showing the
amount of State, National Bank and
United States notes, &c, outstanding
at the close of each fiscal year from
1860 to 1878, inclusive, prepared tthe
Treasury Department July Is, 1878,
and extensively published, gives the
following as the paper money exhib-
tied for 1865:
State Bank 'ccu'ation. slt2.al96,s
National Bank circula-'o -..---- ii6.l3,.S

To.:,... ........-................s SOS, .5ls6,5
Now, which tells the truth, Mr..
Hayes or the officials in his Treasury
Depa: tment? There is Il discrepancy
of S247, ,599, ,lf9 in the two statements,
and both cannot be right.
Let us look further into the state
ments of the Treasury to see if they
sustain Mr.. Hayes. Secretary McCui-
Tough, in his annual report of ,ile
Treasury Department., December, 1865.
says that there were of outstanding
legal-tenders August 81, 1865, 1884,
1885 Add to that sum the two
items of State Bank circulation and
National Bank circulation, as we haye
given them above from the Treasury
statement of July Is, 1878, and we
have:
State BanS G 'cu'ation ........-...... In,Sls,6:s
Naton.', Bank c."cuiation 1l6. .l5' 500
Total 1913. l96. Isl
Those figures are all from the Treas
ury Department, and yet Mr.. Hayes
says the paper circulation of 1863
amounted to only $73J, us, ,2G6.
Bullionist insist that the Treasury
statement of July Is, 1878, gives the
State Bank circulation entirely too
much--dOuble what it really was.
They say S75,Gjl,G)O is the correct
amount. Let us sec how that Will
help Mr.. Hayes:
Lcgal-tender circulation, 1861. 1854 13s $50
National Bank circulation, lS'6 6.l3I 500
State Bank circu !ation 1865 ...-...-.. .500o,UoU
.Iota.. a.....-...-..... ..--.--.--. S'uZ'h,oi9
Eyen with that showing there is a
very noticeable difference between
Mr.. Hayes $745, ,7lS. 2GG ald $9O3, ,276,-
$40.
Now, what is the use of all this ef-
fort by Republican leaders to make
the volume of circulation in 1865 ap-
pear as small as possible? Every man
of age at that time, and who still lives,
knows tina money in his day and gen.
