ties.
From the winterset Madisonian.
The insincerity of the leading
Greenbackers in Congress was fully
demonstrated on the 18th of June on
the vote to concur in the bill which
had passed the Senate and read as
follows:
Bi it enacted, ETC., That from and
after the passage of this act United
States notes shall be receivable TIE
same az coin in payment for the per
cent. bonds now authorized by law to
be issued and on and after October
lst, 1878, said notes shall be receiva-
BILE for duties on imports.
Last fall the Greenback hobby was
that the government dishOnOred the
greenback because it would not re-
ceive it for customs and for bonds,
and thus help to depreciate it. Here
was the chance, yet their leaders like
Ewing, and Butler, and Kelley, and
their followers, are found in the neg
alive. There is but one explanation
of this, and that is, they preferred it
should remain an open question that
they might ride it 40 . political hob
by. Thus they banked, for political
capital, ON the best interests of the
country.
We give below the vote in detail,
and by party, that our readers may
study it. Observe how nearly solid
the Republicans were for the meas
ure, and what large majority of the
Democrat members opposed it. OBJ
serve, too, that the Greenbackers,
joining with the Democrats and hard
money Republicans of the East, de-
feated (two-thirds being necessary to
pass it) this important measure.

A correspondent Of the Des Moines
Leader attempts to break the force of
this damaging blow by saying that
until October 1st greenbacks could
have been received for bonds and re-
tired. Is he ignorant or trying to de-
ceive? Congress has already passed,
and the President signed, the Fort
bill, which reads 40 follows:
And they [the greenbacks] ]
shall not be retired, cancelled or de-
stroyed, but they shall be reissued
and paid out again, and Kept IN circu-
lati0n.
The greenbacks received in ex-
change for per cent bonds were to
be paid out and kept In circulation by
lpnrchasing 6 per cent bonds, thus "a
wing 2 per cent interest to the tax
payers of the country.
The Secretary Of the Treasury had
telegraphed to . member of the House,
Mr.. PHILIPPE, - follows:
II. My attention and expectation is to
apply the proceeds of per cent.
bonds, whether sold for United States
, notes or coin, to the redemption of
7 five-twenty 6 per cent. bonds.
II So the flimsy excuse of the CORES
. pondent falls to the ground. The
truth is apparent that 1t 10 the Demo-
