Greenbacks or commuuism--Whic
Every vote given for the Greenback
is vote against communism. Every
vote given for the Republican party
is vote for communism. Greenbacks
or cOmmunism-whic
Don't believe it Let us study the
matter little. What is communism?
\ communist is one who believes
that the property Of the rich has been
robbed from the labor of the poor.
(and there is some truth in the asser-
tom and therefore it is Just and
right that the rich should be COMPEL
Ell to divide with the poor, and
equalize the property Of the country.
Now there is not one in ten thousand
who will sincerely advocate this
opinion. for he knows that it can
never be effected peaceably; it can
never take place without revolution,
war, bloodshed, and the reputation
of all debts. But Americans, before
they are reduced to absolute slavery
will fight for their freedom; before
all the land gets into the hands of the
money-sharks. the SerfS who till it
will not only clamor for a division,
but fight forit.
Now two straight lines continually
approXimating each other, will GER
tainly meet. unless they are stopped.
These two lines are Republican poll
tics and communism.
We put it thus: The interest on our
great national debt accumulates faster
than our national wealth increases.
which proves that unless stop is put
to the debt. it will ultimately absorb
the whole. All the real and personal
property Of the country will go into
the hands Of the bankers and bond
holders, unless Greenbacks succeed
in wiping out the banks and paying

The two lines will never be allowed
to meet. although they are now fast
approXimating for if Greenbacks do
not triumph, and stop the present
progress of things, communism and
revolution will. Therefore, every
Republican vote east this fall, will be

A few weeks ago several barrels of

A few weeks ago several barrels of
of Mexican dollars were imported into
indianapolis by the bankers and paid
to the WOrklngmen of the city for 100
cents, as true dollars. SO soon as
they were afioat, the banks refused to
receive them again at more than 90
cents. That was ''hOnest money"

banks have been industriously i'm
porting trade dollars and paying them
out at 100 cents. Yesterday the News
published a circular from DR.. Under
man, director of the mint. containing
the information that the trade dollars
are only worth little over 90 cents.
and the banks now refuse to receive
them for more than 90 cents. This is

than 10000 trade dollars in circulation

And these are the same men who a
year ago were denouncing the green
backs as 'lamp-black lies, and
shouting for hard money. Now they
conspire to cheat the people by put

it back at 90 cents. And yet men
say that the question of currency can
be more safely entrusted to the banks

The new party should learn to avoid
lawyers. They are the trained SER

for him they could not exist. The
monopolist of railroads, or land or
mines, is the man who affords this
class the most employment. There
fore, let lawyers have their just pro-
portion of the offices-not a majority
of them. The doctrine of .'less law
yers'' should be strictly adhered to
in the selection of legislators, both
for the state and nation.-Iroy

The rapid growth Of the Greenbac

differing only in matters of minor
Importance. There was no protest.
and the voice of the state was unani-
nous for National banks and contrac-
ton. All this is now changed. The
gospel has been preached to the intel.
llgent farmers and mechanics by mis-
slonarles from neighboring States
this summer, and the converts are
counted by the hundreds. On Satur-
day last a Greenback Convention was
held at Essex Junction to nominate a
candidate to represent the Third Con-
gfessional district. There was a
large gathering, and Bradley Barlow
OF st. Albans. who came within few
votes OF being the Republican nominee
was chosen as the candidate. He had
previously publicly indorsed the
principles OF the National party, and
expressed his bitter oppositian against
the National bank system. This nom
nation was ratified at st. Adams also.
by Il mass convention over two thous-
and strong, according to the SPRING
field Republican 5 account, which in
cluded delegations from every county
in the district. The gathering was
held on the park, with three brass
bands, a drnm corps and glee club to
create enthusiasm. The district has
been largely Republican heretofore.
but 1t is now considered quite possible
that Barlow will carry it for the
Nationals. There was a delegation

In all these years Congress has shown
no sympathy with labor, and when
legislatlng at all has uniformly legis-
lated in favor of capital. The i'm
mense grants of lands to railroads is
an illustration of this. Although a
large part of the public domain was
given away to corporations which
could have had no existence but for
the bounty of the government, can
not recall a single instance where a
grant contained provision to enable
poor people anxious to settle in the
far west to get over the roads free.
The repeal of the duty on tea and
coffee was another unwise and op-
presSlve measure, because it did not
make either of these articles cheaper,
While the duty went to the producer
instead of the Treasury. It is a long
time since I foresaw and predicted
the present condition of things. which
was bound to result from giving labor
too little consideration and capitol too
much. \ binder policy, and at the
same time more unjust and oppres-
slVe one, was never persued in free
country; and the only wonder is that
the issue did not come sooner.
