Darker and darker grows the horizon
of the future. Day by day the list of
failures increases, while the volume Of
liabilities of those failing grows
greater. We here give the clippings
from the news items of single day
taken from the Daily Globe of the 10th
inst. The catalogue is APPALLING, and
yet every day yields like harvest.
And it must be remembered that for
every great failure, where the figures
run into hundreds of thousands of
dollars, there are scores Of small fail
ures. of which no note is taken by the
newspapers, but which represent never
theless a vast aggregate of individual
shame and suffering. And the worst
feature of all is that every case of
bankruptcy throws some laboring men
out of employment, and swells the
great army of tramps and beggaTs.
And for what. For theory

The Railway Age says: .sOhio is one of the
wealthiest and most closely peopled of West
ern States, but the returns on railway invest
ments there for the past year have been
anything but encouraging. The State Com
companies doing business in this State but
thirteen paid any dividends, and of these but
four paid on both common and preferred
stock, and three of these last were leased
lines, which probably hardly earned their
expenses. These facts will doubtless be fairly
cons dered by the law makers OF the State in
future legislation.
They are getting nearer ''hard-
PAN" This, according to the bull.

every business is bankrupt and every
mortgage foreclOsed. John Sherman
thinks this is the normal and healthy
condition of the country.

The chief fault with all eur financial legis-
lat.on since the time W hen the finance prob
lem came before the country, has been that
our law makers have first asked what the
nations OF Europe would think OF proposed
move, instead oil asking what the American
people would think of it. France had a
harder problem on her hands than this coun-
try had; yet she has solved it in a compare
lively brief time by making the first question,
WI hat Will the people OF France think of this
proposed move. The financial legislation of
the United States Congress has been practi-
cally controlled from London and the other
European money centers, and now that dis
position to enact laws in the interests OF the
American people is manifested, an authority
which makes financial matters speciality
proposes that the United States shall delegate
to q congress OF European finaIciers the task
of determining the gold value OF American
silver Worcester Press.
Precisely /; and all this arises from
permitting the aristocratic and mo-
nopolistic forces of the country to
run the government. Their ideal of
perfection is a European monarchy, a
degraded populace. a powerful nobil-
ity and muzxled press.

To til Gree7sb0ck men and Indepe7t-

sofa.
AS chairman of the State Central
Committee of the Independent Green
back Party, feel it incumbent upon
me at this time to address you few
words of cheer and exhOrtatiOn, to
the end that you may be encouraged
to more effectually carry forward the
good work in which we are engaged,
and which has been so happily begun.
Small as were our numbers i'll the be-
ginning, meager as were our means
our members mostly engaged per-
sonally in hard labOr-encounterlng,
if not the jeasously, the cold indiffer-
ence of one Of the old parties,
and the naughty, it not
malignant sneers of the other. we
have carried our principles into al
most every neighborhood, forced a
reluctant press to discuss them
placed in both branches of our state
legislature, bold and efficient advO-
Gates, and made ourselves heard in
the halls of Congress. But the con-
test is but just begun. The conflict
between labor and capital must be
yet determined. AS yet we are much
lacking in local organization. But
few counties are fully organized.
Let every greenback man consider
himself a missionary, and let us make
up in zeal what we lack in means and
numbers. Our party is the party of
aggression, and progress, our oppo-
nents are conservative with decreaS
ing numbers.
Our brethren in Hastings have orig
mated a WOrkingman S Greenback
Congress, which gecullar organiza-
ton they hope to establish in every
city, village, and town in the state.
In order to facilitate the progress of
the great work our party has under
taken. l would respectfully suggest
the great Importance of extensively
circulating among the people the
newspapers published in our interest,
also to continue the holding of green
back meetings in town halls and coun-
ty school houses--the formation of
clubs and congresses. The formation
of town and county committees, and
last not least, let our writer's renew
their correspondence with our public
journals. l also especially invite cor
respondenee with all local committees
concerning their needs and prospects,
and from individuals among our |
friends in every part of the state.
Our star is in the ascendant, our cause
was never brighter.
