HEARS THE NEWS FROM MAINE.
Einancier-Result of an Issue of
Fiat Money at the Corners.

From the Toledo Blade.
CoSFEDERIT y ROADS, Wien is in the State
Nv Kentucky. sept. 10, 1s7s.-The nooze from
Maine hez reached the Corners and IL hez en-
couTaged us, both eZ Nashnels aud Dinlocrats.
IL doesn't make a straw's difference TO me
whether We the DiInOcrats bev swalleTed the
Nashnels, or whether the Nashnels hev swal-
lered US. There hez bin swalleriD, and the Re-
publikin party hez lost its grip We are happy.
Ez Nashnels we hev things egSsackIy 10 SCOT
us at the Corners. and throughout this seckshun-
We hev succeeded in iustitootn strikes in all
the mauufacturln villages in this seckshun, and
hev all the woTkmen out NV work and in conse-
kent distress At Factryville ther amt any
more iaciry at all, for We burned IL Ia the holy
croosade NV labor agin capital. In Plainville
we hey got all tie mechanics and laborefs on a
strike, wich he'd the deIiteful and cheerin efTeck
NV THROWN every workinman out NV work.
Halleeloogy. They hev noIhIn to do now but to
walk about the streets day-times. and lissen tO
our speeches mites. And We are maxim it lively
for the boated employers, you bet When men
are distrest they want a remedy, and they'll
take most any kind NV medicine.
To support EN-, We hev institootid pro-
vishnal bank, wich will do till the fat money
is ishood. It's the same thing ez ''fiat'' money.
/ am President of 1t and Issaker Gavitt is
Cashier. Our money is simply a slip NV paper
onto wich is priniid the sole-iuspirin words
THIS Is DOLLAR.
Attest: PETROLEUM V. NAsBY, President
IssAKER GAvITT, CASHIER.
The only secoorlty that We felt wuz necessary
wuz TO pledge the sacred faith NV the Corners
that 1t wuz a dollar.
.sWat Is IL 10 be redeemed in?'' queried a
shoemaker to whom / Offered it for pair NV
boots. the first 1 hev he'd for yeers.
'.In nothin. II don't want 10 be redeemed.
To redeem it would be TO destroy its life-giving
principle. Anybody kin ishoo money with gold
behind II 70 redeem IL; yoor troo finanseer Is he
wich kin make money wich don't want Ie-
deemin. All 700 hev 10 do with this money is
10 keep it movin. 700 hump this bill onto your
leather merchant, and he'll hump it along on
somebody else. and ez long ez you think It's a
dollar, why isn'tit?
He took it, tho u seemed 10 rlne he wuzn'l
convinst
Weain't bothered with IL at all, eZ il aim
never 10 be redeemed, except that when one bill
wears out, the holder kin come and git another
iu its stead. We mite retire WORKOUT bill,
but ez that wood contract the currency We dom
think 1t the best thing to do. We want a vol
ume NV currency anoat ekal to the demands Nv
trade.
There wuz some trouble for great many
farmers didn't want TO take it. and Bascom
kicked somewhat But we had a remedy FOL
this. The Iabrin Populashen held a meetin, and
in the sacred coz NV laber agin capitle notified
the people that any one which refoozed to take
the money at par wood be to-wunst hung.
Under this stimulus Bascom took IL, but he i'm
mejItIy advanced the price NV likker to fifteen
cents, and a few hours after to twenty-five.
We demonstrated with him about 1t, and he
answered us
"Ef there's going 10 be era Nv prosperity.
am going 10 share in it, Yoo kin hev all the
likker you want at five cents, old money, but e
am compelled to take your fiat money for
likker, 700 can't dictate TO me the price.I shel
ask, for that rests with me as a free citizen NV
these YoonitId States
/ am a just man. 1 acknowledged the
strength NV his posishun. All did wuz &c
walk over TO the prntin' offs and order another
hunderd thousand dollars struck OF, and put II
into cirkelashen to-wunst. Wat we want Is
money enud.
The eleck on the Corners wuz instantaneous.
We never he'd sch an era NV prosperity. Ia
every man he'd all the money he wantid, work
wuz generally suspended, and the people give
theirseves up wholly 10 enjoyment Bascom
did a tremendous business, the storkeepers (all
except that cuss Joe Pollock and Joe Bigler,
who not only refoozed to take the money, bul
refoozed 10 be hung) did a smashing business.
Men wich never he'd a dollar in iher lives he'd
ther pockets full, and ther is nothin' but the
most cheerful prospeck ahead of us. Wher
money kin be he'd by printing 1t, wat is 10 pre-
vent everybody hevIn all they need: Notnin.
shel print a lot more tomorrow.
PETROLEUM v. Nasty,
Reformer and Financier.
p. S.-There is one little speck Nv trouble
about our fiat money. Their amt no farmer
putin In any wheat, for they say they don'i
keer about sweatin for this kind Nv money.
The bloatid employers at Factryville and Plain
willie have consented to advance the wagis Nv
their employees ef they will take our money in
pay, but the mechanics swear they must be
paid in Nashnel Bank notes ef they work. And
the most OF EN- decided they won't work at all
so long ez they kin git enuh nat money TO live
on. It's all very well now, but tner ought To be
