The Father, Friend, and Guard
ian of the Greenback.''

The "greenback" originated in 1862
as a purely Republican measure, sug-
gested by a Republican Secretary of
the Treasury, passed by a Republican
Congress, approved by Republican
President, as means whereby long
and bloody war, brought on by the at
tempts of the rebel wing Of the Dem
ocratlc party to rule or ruin this IN
ION of States, might end in a triumph
OF union and freedom. The first bill
authorizing the issue of legal-tender
notes passed the House February G,
1o62-yeas, Sc Republicans and I
Democrats: nays, 20 Republicans and
~ Democrats among whom were S.
5. Cox, Holman and Voorhees,, of In
diana, and Vallandingham and Pendle-
ton, of Ohio, and most of those, who
are yet living, have at this late day
suddenly become the friends and sup
porters of the greenbacks In the
Senate the bill was passed by an affirm
ative vote of 80, Of whom 25 were
Republicans-only three Republicans
voting against it. The opposition of
the Democracy then was intended to
help the Rebellion and cripple the I'm
ion Treasury. The pretended love for
it noao Is only bait thrown out to
catch the Observation-Disclosures vote.
The Democratic opposition to the
greenback drove it into the United
States Supreme Court, where it was
met by the opposition of Justices
Chase, Nelson, Clifford, Grier, and
Field, who decided that the legaltender
act sis inconsistent with the spirit of
the Constitution, and that it is pro-
hibited by the Constitution, . while
the Republican Judges-Miller,
Swaync, and Davis-dissented, and
held the very decided opinion that
Congress ''acted within the scope Of
its authority and declared, in their
opinion, 1.-The law to be constitutional"
This is known as the legal-ten Ter de-
cision in the famous case of Hepburn
vs.. Griswold in 1869. 1t was not
made by full court. Subsequently,
with full bench, in the cases of Knox
VS. Lee and Parker vs. Davis, the Su-
preme Court made what is known as
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1878-09-05

amelioration of the condition of the
laborer, feel it our duty and God given
right, Independent of any past or

the action Of said committee in its
sanction of having its work done at

ResoIUed, That this Assembly, the
representative body of all the trades
unions in the District Of Columbia,
independent of past or present individ-
ual party feeling. most emphatically
denounce the action Of said committee
in aiding and recognizing the Post in
its system of pauperizing the laborer.
RrSoL0ed, That committee of five
be appointed by the president of the
Assembly to prepare and issue circu-
lar-letter to ali workingmen's associa-
tions, labor. unions and grange lodges
IN the United States, setting forth the
action of said committee in its sane
ton of pauperizing the workingnen,
and ask their withdrawal Of all sup
port from said party, and the sum of
one hundred dol as is hereby appro-
priated to be used by said committee
in the printing and mailing of said
circular letters
ResoLUed, That the corresponding
secretary Of this Assembly be, and is
hereby instructed to forward copy O
the above pre- lmble and resolutions to
all labor papers in the United States
and ask their immediate publication.
The Democratic Committee through
its agent the Post, pays less than one
half the amount paid by the Republi-
can Campaign Committee for folding
campaign documents. The working
men of the country should pause and
reflect at the contrast of the Republi-
can and Democratic parties upon the
labor question as carried out by the
campaign committees at the National
Capitol. The Republican party pay
ing such prices for its labor as is just
and right, and the Democratic party
taking advantage Of the necessities OF
the great number of unemployed la
borcrs and getting their werk done at
"paupnrized wages
[ sincerely hope the Congressional
,, Republican Convention Of the Eighth
, District which meets next week will
re-nominate the Hon. Thad. G. Pound
who has proven himself such a watch,
full industrious and energetic member
OF the 10th Congress. Although the
Lake entrance to the Sturgeon Bay
| Canal is not in his District, but as il
would be used by many of his constlt
ents as their outlet to eastern market
he took very active part in securing
an appropriation of thirty thousanc
dollars for a harbor Of refuge at tina
point. Although a new member, Mr.
Pound can compare, with satisfaction
to his constituents, the results he &C
complished with any other Republican
member of the late House of Repre-
scntatiyes.

Besides opposing the Republican
greenback in Congress by speech and
vote, and condemning it in the United
States Supreme Court as unconstitG-
tional, Democratic leaders have talk
ed and worked against it down to the
inception of the Greenback- Labor In
9 hation movement.
And now the Democracy not only
claim to be in favor of the Greenback,
but go so far as to lead the people to
believe that the Republican party are
opposed to their further use as money,
and are about to retire and cancel the
entire greenback circulation. Said
Judge Thurman. in his keynote
speech, few days ago:
When the currency part of the Ohio
Democratic platform is carefully scru-
tinized, it will be found that it's princl-
pal feature is the proposed substitution
of greenbacks FOR national bank notes
/ think that I do them no inj lStice
when say that the leaders Of the Re
publican party are in favor Of directly
the opposite course that is to say,
they would retire all the greenbocks, in
order that their places might be filled
with national bank notes.
When Judge Thurman made the
statement to Hamilton (Ohio) aud
fence that the leaders Of the Republi-
can party would retire all the green
backs" he knew that he was imposing
upon them by stating what was direct
| ly opposite to the truth, as we shall
show. On the Goth of April last, Mr.,
Fort, Republican member Of the
House Of Representatives, presented
bill, which passed both Houses, and
is now a law in force, that in future
legal-tender notes, when received into
the Treasury, ''shall not be Cancelled.
retired or destroyed, but they shall be
rG-issued and paid out again and kept
in circulation" This Thurman we'll
knew, and his position now is a new
dodge, and fair specimen Of Demo
cratic consistency.
Under the suddenly inspired love
for the grcenback, it need not surprise
any one to hear Thurman, Ewing,
Cary, VOORHEES, and their party claim
next that the greenback is the very
best of all kinds of money, reaching
this conclusion by the specious argu
ment that for money nothing is better
than gold; but greenbacks are better
than nothing; therefore graenback'
; are better than gold. But even ther
| the fact still remains, and cannot b.
/ disputed, that the Republican party /,
the "father, friend, and defender o
, the greenback - that the party has
by wise and economical Legislation
raised the purchasing value or powe
Of the greenback and the nationa

Our National Debt.

The total National Debt is now ST.
035, $50, 524. OF this amount, only
about $250,000,00O is held in foreign
countries, and this amount is being
rapidly decreased. The rapid sub
scriptions to the four per cent, bonds
is having the effect to reduce the in
tcrest of the Government at rapid
rate. These four per cent bonds
take the place Of the 5 20 six per cent
bonds that are now taken up at the
rate of something like S25, 000000
per month. Thus is there large saw
ing in interest, and the National debt
is being rapidly transferred into the
hands of our own people. The reduc-
ton of interests on the debt amounts
to about 100000 per month. This
presents an encouraging view of the
Government credit. State Journal.
