The Greenback Issue.

May we not liken the greenback issue to
that of merchant who, at certain time
when the ex!gences of his business required
large amounts of money, his credit being IN
questionable. gave his note for two, three and
five years with interest, and thus enabled him
not only to keep his people busy and things
alive all about him, but to keep the honor OF
his house and his credit good?
But how did he do this? He knew he had
to,pay these notes with interest as fast as they
nlatured, and he had to work late and early to
do it; he had to practice rigid economy the
while, to contract his expenses, and to develope
his resources; the waste lands that he had were
sold for what they would bring; his cultivated
lands were worked to their full extent, and all
the produce sold to pay the maturing notes,
which, as they were paid, were thrown into
the fire, as so much done and finished; and he
never would be free again until every note was
thus cancelled. So far the sober, sensible mer-
Chants
But the Greenbackers would have him 90 on
without the exigency, forever and ever! They
would have him repeating the operation, keep.
Ing himself continually on the tenterhooks-
reissuing his notes! He did strive; he did
move heaven and earth to pay those notes; and
ne does not care to go through that ordeal
again. No, he gsays; now L will pay as l 60
and never, L hope, shall see such a time
again. Common sense says, when your note is
paid it Is of no more value, its cause for exist
ence is over, and in the commercial world it
has no value, but must 60 to the waste basket
or the flames.
But if the Government borrow twenty mil
lions land it did borrow four thousand millions)
and issue its bonds at five per cent, payable in
twenty years-and pays them at the end of
that time, principal and interest, it has no
right to reissue them, Their reissue is a rob-
berry of the people; For the people would have
to be taxed to pay the interest, and future
generation would have to pay the principal
again. This is what the Greenbackers would
do-this is the logic of their theory.

Written ON Both Sides.

Very frequently we see newspaper CORE.
spondents admoMshed to write on one side of
the paper only if they wish to see their articles
published, and it must be admitted that this is
a very wise rule, but of course it has its excep-
tions. For instance, we received a 'pome"
Monday evening, and had the writer been care
full to write on one side of the paper only it is
very much to be feared that her literary effort
would have found congenial fellowship in
the waste basket, but under the crcum.
stances we cannot refrain from giving speci-
men stauza from each side. The poem was
headed "The Country" and the poetess struck
her gait as follows:
Oh. love to bask in Natures smile,
Under the greenwood tree,
With naught in view save the rolling fields.
Oh, the country's the place for me.
This was all very we'll Of course, and no one
could justly complain of her desire to get under
the greenwood tree and bask in Natures smile,
but the other side of the page told different
story. 1t was the commencement of letter,
and in prose the poetess talked as follows:
Dear Pal wish you would come down here
and get me just as soon as you can. The coun-
try is perfectly horrid, and would rather bake
in the city than stay down here in this poky
Mace. Aunt Jane says that I will get used
