How mgr. h.m's Greenbaek Theory
Horace Ingraham OF this town. is by nature,
education and occupation q greenbacker. That
10 his trade and he works at it. He has spent
much of his time among the dry and musty tones
of antiquity. and finds after the most profound
researches that the equipoise between the Hucua-
ting currency that monopolizes the attractions that
previously disturbed the equilibrium ofcentending
empires that have gone down to the silence OF the
grave, and rest forever among the uunumbered
dead, was the cohostibility Of the irredeemsbe
medium Of currency handed down from 4 pure
race of pigmies, whose unregulated and debssed
passions helped to swell the aggregate of unre-
generated humanity, and thus produce the boat-
ed bondholders and the cuss of national banks!
If anybody wants to discuss that question
with Horace, he is ready to meet them
at any school house of their selection be-
tween here and Starks corner. Horace has q
practical way Of illustrating his theory. man
whose name we won't call, owes him for meat or
wood. The man is in poor circumstances and can
not pay-all the better for the illustration. Hor-
ace don't want any money; be simply wants the
mans note. The debtor hasn't got cent of real
or personal property to back the note all the
better for carrying out Horace, theory. When
the note comes due. that is taken up, and another
note given. Soon the second note comes due and
third one is given; and so it goes on; Horace
has transacted considerable business in the note
line, but hssn't received any pay for his meat OR
wood. But then he's had 9 chance to illustrate
hs gresnback theory!
