has for its chief object to raise the price OF
real estate.
v. But even the real estate spectators
deceive themselves. A new imitation will
not help them.
INITIATION WILL NOT INITIATE.
The balloon burst in 1873; it will hold
no new gas. The panic of 1873 and the sue
ceeding depression came about not oy con-
traction, because paper money was then
most abundant, as we have shown it came
about because of over speculation. over
trading and the deep alarm which seized
prudent men everywhere as they saw
whittier We were drifting. Public conf
dence received great shock the men who
had anything buttoned up their pockets and
the men who had nothing but debts failed.
OF late, confidence has begun slowly 20 re-
vive; but a new initiation would only send
US back into the distress of lS73-l574. Ii
is because We have got near to specie basis
that men are beginning to venture timidly
on new enterprises. 1t is because labor is
shocked at these Greenback- demands
for new initiation that times remain hard.
There is no better times for the working
men or even for the spectators, until re-
sumption is accomplished and the initiation
movement Is finally defeated.

FROM PRIVATE LETTER FROM FRANKLIN
country.


eouNTY.
am Greenbacker to certain extent,
but have no more idea of joining the or
ganization as constituted than | have
of cutting my throat. There will
be large vote cast here for the
regular nominee, Albert Clarke to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. Not nearly all the Re-
publicans Of Franklin county are willing to
throw party to the dogs even for the sake of so
great fayoritc as Barlow. In fact it has
never appeared quite certain that Barlow rs
a general fayorte but rather that being man
of wealth and great business influence and
being crowded forward by such bulldogs as
-, he became, after little, an accepted
champion to many who did not esteem him
oyermuch or choose him voluntarily as
their hero. heard many men say before
convention who supported Barlow, that
they did not like the man hut supposed they
should be obliged to accept him. The peo-
pie are not quite dead to Il sense of justice
and propriety, or forgetiul Of the fact that
Mr.. Barlow went back on his pledge so
openly given the 9th Of July IN the pre-
senco OF many witnesses. Don Re too
hard on the poor Grecnbackcrs- begin
to be ashamed Of their man already.

TnB ST. Adams Messenger denies that in
last April it denied that Mr. Barlow was a
Greenbackcr. This is wha. the Messenger
said last April
Ii is mistake to say that ION the fnan-
cial question he Mr.. Barlow is all wrong -
a grccnback man and an lnhationist. lie
was never an inilationist, and the extent Of
his grcenhack proclivities is this lie
would have treasury notes substituted for
national bank noteS.-S. Adams MeSsen-
g.r, AWH %, -.
The Messenger thus did not deny that
Mr.. Barlow was Greenbacker. 1t only
said that it was mistake to call him a
Greenback man IL said he "neyer was
an inilatiOnist," when it had in its files his
letters Ito which the FREE Pass had referred
from recollectIOn) advocating the increase Of
the volume of greenbacks from less than
tow hWadrd millions to A THOUSAND
MILLIONS; advocating an initiation Of the
total currency by an increase of over third,
Advocating the payment Of the fve-twenties
and other United States bonds in green
backs-grcenbacks being then at discount
Of nearly thirty per cent.
NJ wonder the Mcsscng'r carefully con-
cealed Mr.. Barlow's views on these points
during his canvass for the Republican nomi
nation. 1t was not honorable simply to con-
ccal them. But the Messenger did more.
1t fatly denied that he held them. Its sub
sequcnt assertions were equally reckless of
truth. We do not believe that the MeSScn-
gcr has an intelligent reader who has swal
Mr.. Birlow'S letters were not published
before the liydepark Convention simply
because they were not called for ; and that
they were published, and five thousand
copies of them distributed. the week after
the Convention, simply because they 'rcrc
then called for. The Republicans Of Frank
lin county and of this District are not fools,
and it is insulting their intelligence to I'M
dertake to stuff them with such Transparent
fdlsifcations. We do not believe that there
is Il Republican in the District so simple
that he does not know that Mr.. Barlow's
financial heresies were carefully concealed
before the ilydopark Convention. because
Mr.. Barlow was then pretending to
be Republican, and because his defeat in
the Republican Convention would DO sure,
if these views Of his were known who does
not know that his letters were called for,
fecause Mr.. Barlow waated them called for,

To the Editor of tho Free Press and Times.
The lady who wrote tine letter to the FREE
Pass, stating that Mr.. Barlow and some
friends were in our town on pleasant Sab
bath afternoon, procuring signers to a call
for mass meeting, explains that she did not
mean that Mr. Barlow and his friends pro-
cured the signatures to that call personally.
but that they secured agents on that oeca-
sion to do so, who applied to her husband,
among others. the neat morning, for his sig
nature, which ne declined to give. Y.

NOTE FROM EAST FRANKLIN.
EAST FRANKLIN, Aug. ~, 1878

last FRANKLIN, aug. ~, 1919.
To the Editor OF the Free Press and Times
Out of the fifteen who took the train at
East Franklin station to attend the con-
vention of the Barlow boilers. there were
FIVE Barlow men-and one of them returned
nouncement was made of the nomination
of Barlow by the Greenback Convention at
ESSEX, it seemed as though wet sheet was
thrown over tie pore respectable portion
of the Convention; and Judging from the
surroundings in this vicinity Mr.. b. is
losing ground il this county. y.

We must respectfully decline the St. Al
bans Messengers invitation to discuss the
question whether or no Mr. Barlow = accept
ancs of the Grcenback nomination makes
him an apostato from the Republican party.
If there is a voter in the District 50 besotted
that he cannot sec that the man who public
ly accepts nomination from n rival party,
which has iull State, District ari County
organizations and tickets in the fed. and is
doing its utmost to defeat the Republican
tickets, can no longer claim to be a Rcpub-
lean, he is beyond argument. That the
Messenger should have the face to claim that
Mr.. Barlow is not an opponent of the Repub-
lican party, because he has not published
over his own name statement that he has
discarded Rcpublicanism, only shows what
depth of Generalization and degradation
that paper has reached, in its desperate at
tempt to buoy up Mr.. BIrlow's falling for
tunes.
Mr.. Barlow accepted the Grccnback nomi-
nation for Congress, publicly endorsed its
platform and promised to serve its interests,
which arc directly antagonistic to the prin-
ciples and interests Of the Republican party.
On the kind of party loyalty which per-
mits man to be member OF two opposing
parties at the same time, Mr.. Barlow and
the Messenger hold the patent, and We are
content they should enjoy all the profits
thereof. One party at u time is enough
for honest men,

WHEN You see an editorial statement in
the ST. Alhans Messenger, remember that it
is the statement of paper which falsely
stated before the Hydepark Convention that
Mr.. Barlow was not Greenbacker, and in
three or four days alter WAS commencing
him for his greenback views announced by
him eleven years before, when he took the
position of - the original Vermont Green
hacker. OF a paper which falsely stated
that Mr.. Barlow was not an lllationist.
when lie was 10 favor Of increasing the vol
ume of currency to a THOUSAND MIL
LI0NS-an increase of over $500 900 900
of a paper which falsely stated that Mr..
Barlow had nothing to do with the Green
back movement when his agents and money
were actively organizing greenbaek clubs ;
of a paper which more than two weeks
after the Hydepark Convention falsely
stated that Mr.. Barlow was tlen occupy
i,g precisely the attitude he took at Hyde
park alter the Convcntion-sn attitude
of cordial acceptance of the result Of the
Convention, accompanied by a distinct
pledge that he would cease all opposition to
Gen. Grout, when as the Messenger knew
and as thousands Of Republicans in Frank
i'm county knew, Mr.. Barlow had been since
the day after the Convention actively op-
posing Gen. Grout. and organizing the
bolt against him. To any one who remem-
bers these things. and that they are but
samples of the ialsehoods with which the
Messenger has been filled for month past,
it will make not the slightest difference
what the Messenger may choose to state
nog or hereafter.
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1878-08-30

and that his money has scattered them like
Autumn leaves; who docs not know that
there was no more truth in the Messenger 5
assertion that Mr. Barlow had nothing to do
with the Greenback movement, than in its
former denial that he had ever been Green
hacker and inhltiOnist.
What possible confidence can the readers
of the Messenger retain in any of the state
ments of paper which has so repeatedly
and recklessly disrrgardcd the truth - which
does not coniine itself to plausible misstate-
ments, but makes and sticks to assertions
which every ouc of its readers has, in his
own knowledge, the means of rclnting?

Cambridge. Aug. y, 1875

Cambridge, Aug. -, 1878.
Our correspondent is evidently one of
those intelligent working men who do not
swallow everything that is told them, or
believe all that they see in print. 1t will
not surprise him much. We fancy, to be told
that the Greenback party in the Third Dis
trict is so much more active than elsewhere
and has so much more money to use in
organizing itself, because rich banker
and mail contractor. who failed to get the
Republican nomination Tor Congress. is
now running a. the Greenback nominee,
and scattering his morey right and left
with lavish hand in an attempt to buy the
promotion, which the people, unsided by
such inducements. would never have
thought OF according to him. Plainly this
workingmsn never before heard that Mr..
Barlow was an especial friend of the poor
man; and he is puzzled to see how Mr..
Barlow has lightened taxes by heaping up
an immense fortune in fat mail contracts
every dollar that has gone into his pocket
having been taken from the public treasury
and so from the pockets of the tax payers.
The Greenback orators whom Mr.. Barlow
Is sending through the District will never
make these matters clear to our working
friend.
The Greenbsck party, if it could posi-
bly, succeed. might make Working mans
grand list (which represents the amount
Of his property smaller; but it would
make his taxes bigger and give him less to
pay them with 1t would make the hard
times still harder. In fact the existing de-
preston in business and unwillingness of
men to invest money in new business enter
prises. is largely due to the unsettling of
confidence occasioned by the Greenbsckers.
If they were to succeed, capital. which is
the life of business, would largely leave the
country, and work of all kinds would be
scsrcer, and labor more poorly paid than
ever.
Rich. selfish and reckless denagogues,
like Bradley Barlow. are really tho work
ing mems worst enemies; and Working
man" if be lives. will find it out, if he has
not already done 50.

Letter from a Workingman.

To the Editor Of the Free Press and Times.
Will you please forward to me the DAILY
FREE Pass AND TINES. / at present hardly
know what nv duty is politically. / now
have good supply of newspaper reading.
| have The daily Messenger free, also two
county papers; but as l understand the
matter, they are all engaged or retained
for the Hon. Bradley Barlow, consequently
| cannot expect, if they are trus to their
employer, that they will favor but one side
OF the question under consideration. | have
also lately been very earnestly pressed TO
JOIN Greenback club. with strong assur-
ances that if Mr.. Barlow, tho Greenback
candidate, be elected, | can pay my
debts easier ; that my grand list
will be smaller, and taxes much
less. They tell me that Mr.. Barlow is the
poor mans friend aad is emInently well
qualified to render Government taxes light
and less burdensome. | sm told, al
though the matter don't appear quite clear
to me now, that soon there will be public
speakers here that will mako 1t perfectly so,
and that l shall then understand how and
why Greenbackism will remedy the evil Of
hard times. But before decide IN regard
to what my duty is, wish to know why
there is 50 much greater effort being made
in behalf of the poor workingmen
in the Third Congressional District
than in any other place in Vermont,
and | would like also II understand whose
money pays for these extraordinary efforts.
WOREISG MAN
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1878-08-30

Tbs Messenger once more in a two-column
leader returns to the defence of what is now
generally characterized throughout Vermont
as the most utterly indelensihle and dishon-
orable bolt ever known in the history of
the State. We shall not follow it through
all its squirmings. But a indicating the
perfect desperation of this defence. it may
be noted that the Messenger now says that
" .Ie claim that Gen. Grouf'S nomination ,ras
mad. unaaimou, IS complete fabrication -
Such is the deliberate statement Of the paper
whose editor moved to make the nomination
unanimous, aud on his motion i. ,rIS made
unanimous, by a full and hearty vote and
without a single no. The Messengers own
report Of the convention, in common with
those of cv5ry other paper in the district,
said, and said truly, that the nomination
wa made unanimous. Now it says that it
was '-c,mplets fabrication Did ever
man d. so much eating Of his own words as
the Messenger Is daily doing Before the
election comes of the Messenger will be
denying that there was any convention held
at Hyderlrk this Summer.
Bat the Republicans Of this District have
not yet lost their memories, their intelligence,
their sense of duty to their PARTY, or their
sense of personal honor. And they can be
trusted to put their own correct estimate on
a piece Of special pleading which 80 flies
an the face of all truth and deccncy
