We desire TO call attention to the short
prospectus OF the Leavenworth TINES in this
issue. II is no desire to give a gratuitous puff
that prompts US to give THY TISiEs credit for
being one OF the most ably conducted jour
mails in the West. Neither is the publication
OF the pr spectus herein cited a gratuity, for
THE TINES has paid for the same In cash-an
occurrence worthy of record, and which gives
tangible proof OF an abiding faith in the III
cscy of printers ink. THE TIMES claims the
largest circuIa ion Of any paper printed IA
Kansas, and backs up its claim TO this pre-.
efninence by the figures, which are taken
from official sources. THE TINES Eas recent

Kansas Democrat, Topeka, Dec. 81
Undoubtedly one of the best newspapers in
the west is the. Leavenworth TIMES. The
editor, Mr.. Anthony, fully understands the
value of printers ink and its superiority
over the cheap John lodges resoried To by
many penurious and short sighted individ-
uals who desire TO place their names and
business before the public for the least posi-
bic amount, but who in reality pay very dear
for their whistle.

Council No. 9 of the National Party
of st. Louis has very properly denied
any sympathy with or responsibility
for the few desperate men who would
seek reform by violence: and who are
said to be arming and drilling in the
great cities. There is no necessity
for any such measures, so long as the
ballot box remains open to them.
That is the true avenue to all re-
forms. If the people suffer wrongs
there is the place to right them. Vi.
olence simply justifes force and force
means empire.
We quote the resolutions of the St.
Louis council:
Whereas. There is apparently a

and ringing advice to the gleenback-
ers. We endorse every word of it.
There need be no doubt of the sue
cess of the Greenbsck movement. Its
presence everywhere, in local and ma
tlonal elections, in congress and ev-
erywhere else, astOnishes friend and
foe. There is hardly any subject
which stirs thought and awakens in
terest except finance. Even the
southern question is, for the moment,
pushed aside. Members of congress
hurry to- put themselves on record, by
motion OF speech, showing some de-
gree OF submission to the popular will.
Sherman's surrender, on most of the
points which we have been claiming,
is the high water mark of our present
gain. And he is only ahead, by sim
gle stride, of leading members of con-
gress heretofore clasSed with the
slaves of specie.
Our danger lies in the very rapidity
of our growth. Both parties will bid,
are bidding, for our support-they
will attempt to buy us off by halfway
concessions, enough to save their par
ty and disarm the rising revolt against
a system of finance which rests the
power Of imitation in the hands of a
few hundred bank directors and lets
them play with values at their pleas
ure. This Greenback movement, in
its essence, is the assertion that, when
our fathers settled it that the people
were competent to govern themselves,
they meant to include among the
points as to which they were compe-
tent; the question Of finance, las well as
marriage, crimes, real-estate, descent
of estates and other matters Of gov
eminent. The Greenback movement
is revolt against the claim that, in
ordinary matters, the people can gov
ern themselves, but on questions Of
finance they must be kept under per-
petual guardianship, and be the wards
OF rich men. There is a class which
feels it can trust everything but it's
money to universal suffrage. On this
point they agree with the Gar and
Tories, and hold on to old chains.
Our effort must be to take the whole
question Of the currency, as Franklin
and Ricardo advised, into the state s
hands. Never rest while any bank
has the right to issue bill. Never
rest till congress supplies all our cur.
rency, made of paper, and based on
the credit of the state. Never rest
till the debt is funded for at least a
century. held by the people. inter-
changeable at their will into bonds or
QreenbackS and CONSTITUTING ono of
the strong ties that bind the Union
together. Never rest till the green
back representing the wealth Of the
nation is legal tender everywhere for
all debts, thus freeing us forever from
rings and corners in gold, and this our
second declaration of independence
make the first reality and not a
sham.
To this end trade with no party.
Stand willing to absorb either. But
hold obstinately the helm in our own
hands. WENDELL PHILLIPS.

ty:
Portland Letter to Cincinnati Commercial.
The growth Of the Greenback party
in Maine is as astonishing to it's
friends as to its enemies. Nobody
preeends to know what the future will
bring forth. and perhaps that is a very
wise frame of mind for the politicians
to be in. since. Judging from the past.
the man who should attempt to fore
cast events yet to come to pass would
be very likely to make mess of it..
One thing is certain: The Greenback
party in this state has sprung up with
a rapldlty unprecedented. and its adj
herents, as we'll as the followers of
the old standards, find themselves
wholly unable to make any prediction
as to the future. And why! A year
ago last September the young party
threw 533 votes for governor. Two
months later they gave Peter Cooper
663 for president. Everybody sup.
posed they had done their best Tor
worst). but in September, 1877. their
candidate for governor. who was an
Universalist minister known only in
his own locality, received 1886 votes.
Then. ut the town elections this
spring. it is claimed that over $4,000
votes were thrown for the Greenback
candidates. In anumber of towns the
Republicans and Democrats united to
defeat the intruders. but in all such
cases. one only being excepted, the
Greenbackers proved too strong for
their opponents. Is it any wonder,
then. that the politicians are con-
founded. that the unattached voters
who go with the majority and care for
nothing but to be on the winning side,
have their eyes and ears open for in.
dlcations of the course things are tax.
ing. that the Greenbackers are san.
