Judging from their national platform we
find no cause of difference with the new

their principles, especially on the financial
question. They want an abundance Of mo-

laboring to attain that desirable end in the
only possible way, the immediate redeema-
ability of the currency, our greenback
friends would eXtinguish the life OF
currency in the breath which creates it.
They say it must be irredeemable, and yet
of unyarying value-a contradiction OF
terms, because the vital principle OF money
token is its redeemability,, and in proper
ton to the distance OF that redemption
in solid current value is its market
worth. III it is Immediately redeemable
