Not q Greenbacker.

Elk L. S. Treasurer Spinner has been
persistentIy quoted by the Greenback
organs and speakers as in sympathy
with their financial theories. A recent is
sue of the Utica On. W Herald contains
an open letter from him which com
pletely dispels such assumption, and ex
plains a much-quoted passage from one
of his letters, which has been represented
as favoring the idea that the 7-30 notes
were intended for and used as currency.
Gen. Spinner's communication is in re-
ply to letter containing the follow
ing:
The acknowledgements party claims
you as one of its members, and you are an
nounced in certain localities as giving to that
party your sympathy and support, which is
your published letters, wherein you state that
the 7-30 Treasury notes were intended prepar-
ed, issued and used as currency.
Mr.. Spinner says:
AS no copies of the many letters that an
swer are kept, / am unable to say whether the
quotation is correct or not, bnt presume that
it is. AS have not the letter here to which 1t
was an answer, l cannot now say what the
question was or whether the context of my
letter would fairly bear the construction that
this single sentence does. But be that as it
may, it is certain that when it was written
had in my mind the original issue of $l4O,00O,-
600 under the act of July H. 1861, and had no
thought of the larger issue of these notes of
$500, OOO,0 900, that was negotiated through the
agency of J. Cooke s. Co., at the close of and
after the war for the preservation of the
Union The first named were principally paid
out over the counters of the Treasury as cur
rency, to Paymasters, Quartermasters and
Government contractors; but the latter and
much larger amount was issued as loan, and
was never issued as currency. l am surprised
that any one who knows me should doubt my
LOYALTY to the political and financial principles
that have always professed, and still more
surprised that there should be any doubt any
where as to my support OF the very excelient
ticket of the Republican party.

WHAT an Advertisement Can Accomplish.

London Letter to Cincinnati Enquirer.
In Paris, last summer, l saw friend
OF mine who had just come over using
pen OF peculiar construction, designed
with special reference to those untidy
persons who, like myself, ink their fingers
when they write. Now my friend IS
man whose hands are as white as lilies,
with finger-nails like rosebuds in tint;
noticeable hands, even remarkable, con-
sidering that he is an elderly man, and
one who occasionally helps with the
lighter work on his farm in Nebraska.
Catch him linking his fingers!
Where did you get that nice penn"
| asked him, vista of blissful exemp-
ton from an uninked middle finger
opening on my joyous, expectant mind.
In Omaha" he answered Its the
incest thing; used to ink my fingers
before got it!'
He did! He linked his fingers That
was enough for me. | got the name of
the merchant from whom he bought the
pen, the price Of it, and enclosing the
money sent from Paris to Omaha for
that pen.
BY the last steamer it came to me.
There had been little delay. The sta
toner at Omaha was out of them, but
he sent up to Sioux City, to the man
that avdertises them, for another lot.
And now here is where the laugh comes
in. The pens are an English invention,
and tons Of them can be bought in Lon
don, if desired At the stationer's next
door | could have got what I had sent
after to Sioux City. But how could I
know that? l dealt with the man that
advertised.

And who are these bloated bondhold-
ers? They are the American people of
every class and condition, rich and poor,
lazy and Industrious, wise and ignorant.
About ten or fifteen per cent, of the
bonds are held abroad, eighty-fve or
ninety per cent. are held at home
Within two years nearly $150,00O, 900
of four per cent. bonds have been sold
all over the country, largely in the west,
and they are held in small sums by
small investors, who prefer to place the
surplus of their savings from wages and
trade in a United States bond rather
than in savings bank. A large amount
of other bonds are held by banks, insur-
ance companies, trust-cOmpanies, saw
ings-banks, in which widows and or
phans and the vast multitude who own
bonds have their all involved. Every
man who has a national bank note in
in his pocket is to that degree interest
ed in the honorable maintenance of the
value of the bonds. 1t is not Wall
Street and the great capitalists who
hold the bonds. The holders have gen
orally paid the full value, for them, and
the country could not recede from its
plighted faith without destroying the
whole base of credit upon which finan-
cial transactions rest. Those who real
ly wish 'the laborer's dollar" to be of
full value will begin by insisting that
the country shall keep it's word and not
break it. For every dollar bill in his
pocket the country has promised to pay
every man a dollar. But if it begins by
refusing to pay some of it's promises, it
will end by regulating all. If it will
not keep faith with those who lend it
money, it will break faith with those
who gave their services and their lives.
God has somehow so fixed the world
that we can afford to do about right
said the old sailor. Honesty is the
best policy" says the experience of
mankind. --MarshaH (Mich) Statesman.

If the Government can create money
simply by stamping what they are pleas
ed to call its sovereignty upon piece
of paper, why should it waste that SOW
ereignty upon one dollar bill, why not
create ten dollar bill, hundred, a
thousand, million? Why should we
stop? The other day | had converse
ton with one of the principal gentlemen
upon that side and told him, When
ever you can successfully palm off on a
man bill of fare for a dinner, | shall
believe in your doctrine; and when |
can satisfy the pangs of hunger by read
ing a cook book, | shall join your party
Only that is money which stands for
labor. Only this is money which will
buy in all other directions the result of
the same labor expended in its product
ion. As matter of fact, there is mon
ey enough in the country to transact
the business of the county. AS mat
ter of fact, there is more money than is
needed to transact business. Never
before in the history of the Government
was money SO cheap, that is to say,
was interest so low. never. There is
plenty of money, and we could borrow
all we wished had we the collaterals.
We could borrow all we wished if there
were some business in which we could
embark that promised a sure and reason
able return. If we should come to
man who kept ferry, and find his boat
on sand-bar and the river dry, what
would he think of us should we tell him
that he had not enough boat? He
would probably reply that he had plenty
Of boat but not enough water. We have
plenty of money, not enough business.
The reason we have not enough business
is we have not confidence is because the
market is slowly falling, and the reason
it is slowly falling is that it has not yet
qnite resumed, that we have not quite
touched the absolute bed rock of value
