The widest statements have been
made by the National Greenback and
Labor reform speakers and papers in
regard to the number OF men out OF
employment, all the leading organs
and orators Of that party putting the
number at from two to three million
persons. That the facts relative to
the unemployed might be known and
the people thus be able to know for
themselves when reckless and and
inconsiderate assertions are made,
the Bureau OF Statistics OF Labor in
the State OF Massachusetts began a
thorough canvass OF the State on the
oath day OF June last and the canvass
was completed on the 18th of August.
The official report shows that the
population Of the State Is 1851 ,912 OF
which 5S4. 500 are classed as skilled
and unskilled laborers. The total
unemployed males and females as

The officials say that the public can
rely on this report as being correct,
as it includes every town, city and
village In the common wealth. The
demagogues have been constantly
asserting that there were 100000 per-
sons out of employment in Massa-
chusetts, and have made the asser-
ton that there were more than
10000 persons in the city OF Boston
alone who could obtain no employ
ment. The testimony of the officials
shows that a majority Of those
unemployed could get work
If they would work for the wages
that other men are getting, and are
consequently idle from choice and
not from necessity. Taking Massa-
chusetts as basis it is apparent that
there are not more than half million
unemployed persons in the country
and majority of these could get en-
ployment il they wanted to work.

The poor man tolls in his weary lot
while the bondholdcr sips his wine and
sends his family to fashionable watering
places. Vote TO change this.-Herdtd
How men by their votes are going
to reverse the order of things and
have the poor men sip the wine and
send their families to fashionable
watering places, while the rich men
do all the toiling is what we would
like to have the Herald explain. Yet
this idea that the poorer a man is,
the better will be his chance to see
and enjoy all the wonders and luxur-
les OF the world, and appropriate to
his own use and the use of his family
all that can be purchased by the
wealth OF the land, is no more absurd
than the idea that the government
can create money out OF nothing.
When the fiat fellows control the
government, the less property a man
has the richer he will be, is the
teaching OF the Herald, and yet we
are told that there are men In this
county silly enough to believe such
things.

Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1878-08-29
The Republican Party the Ouly Real
Greenback Party.

Mr.. Gorham, secretary of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee,
recently said to a New York Tribune
correspondent:
The Greenbackers will not make
much, in view of the following facts:
First. The Republican party origi-
mated the greenback currency.
Second. The Democrats denounced
the legal tender act as unconstitu-
tional at the time of its passage.
Third. The Democratic Supreme
Court Judges decided the act uncon-
stitutional, the Republican Judges
holding directly opposite views. 1t
is only few years since the Demo-
cratic press was donouncing General
Grant for packing the Supreme Court
of the United States, as they said, on
the question.
Fourth-Mr. Fort, a Republican
member of Congress introduced the
juintresolution to prohibit the further
retirement of greenbacks, which was
adopted by both Houses; and re-
sumption now only means that the
holder of a greenback can have the
specie il he prefers it after next JAN
uary. The greenback so redeemed
cannot be retired or cancelled or de-
stroyed, but, under the laws, must
continue to be part of the currency
of the country. This puts an end to
contraction. So far from being hos
tile TO the Republican party, the real
greenback people throughout the
country will naturally support the
party which gave that currency an
existence, and which, by law, contin-
ues itin existence.
Fifth--The Republican Senate vo-
ted to make greenbacks receivable
for customs dues; the House refused
to concur. In the last hours of the
session the House went through the
form of passing a similar measure
when they knew it was too late
for it to pass the Senats. They took
good care not pass the Senate propo-
sition, which would have ended the
matter and totally destroyed the pre-
MUM on gold.
1t is the belief OF the committee
here that when the greenback men
fully understand the attitude OF the
two parties on the greenback ques-
ton they will not trust the Demo
Gratis on the one hand. nor find any
necessity for a separate Greenback
party on the other.
Mr.. Gorham in response to an in
quiry, said that the charge that the
committee was circulating hard-mon-
ey documents in the East and the OPP
posite in the West was silly false
hood. The speech Of Senator Ferry
on greenbacks, he said, does not at
tack resumption, nor does the speech
OF Senator Morrill, on resumption at
tack greenbacks. The legislation OF
the last session concerning the ques-
ton as above cited constitutes the
platform of the Republican party in
the campaign.
