tendency OF such frenzied and passionate APP

When such sentiments are industriously pro-

long been held in slavery by most infamous,
unnecessary, unlawful, unconstitutional mas
tiers.
PAY WITH GREENBACKS.
We mean that the debt of the United States
shall be paid in greenbacks, and right here we
inform you from the Western prairies, that so
sure as God lives, II this question is not settled
by 1880, II the law then does not declare that
the bonds shall be paid in greenbacks exactly
as the soldiers Of the United States were paid in
greenback money, we shall never again ask for
such an issue of money, but will. from that
obligation of the Government, and thus wipe
out from existence every United States bond
and their holders shall have nothing. Put this
IN your pipe and make the most OF it Ours is

THREAT To oyEpTupoxv THE cI,urpN,,,p>,,r
In the face of these truths and defence of
this living principle pertaining to the Republic,
we demand that the Government at once exer-
else its legitimate constitutional power, and for
the benefit OF the people recall that money
which has been destroyed and create enough
more thereof to pay every bond in full. thus re
lieving the people from the payment of interest
for the support Of the idle, untaxed, pernicious
aristocracy that is now, as it has been from the
hrst, trespasser upon the rights of man.
Ii the Government will not do this thing.
then we, he people, IL defence Of our lives.
Our liberties, our homes, our families and all
that the future holds out TO us as promise
through the work of the founders of the Re-
public, must overthrow this Government. re-
pudlate all of its unconstitutional contracts.
wipe out all the indebtedness of the United
States, and commence anew Therefore we
say to those who administer the laws. paw the
bondholder TO the uttermost farthing in green
backs, full legal tender money, and ever after
noio ii at par with goa, or any otner material
of which money is made. Do this, or we, the
people, will be compelled, in self defence. TO
repudiate you who are in Congress and the
Presidential chair only as our servants-to re-
pudlate you and your unconstitutional promise
to teach you who are our servants, and you
who are our plunderers, lesson that will last
every one of you for all time to come.
WE MUST PAY NO MORE INTEREST.
Lei this be the law; NO MORE BONDS.
No more paying eOen one farthi,,g of interest
by oir United States Government. Let men
who use money pay interest, or let it draw no in
terest. No more demonetizing of silver. buvinq
gold, burning greenbacks and issuing bonds
but complete restoration of the greenback
dollar to its place as factor in trade and COM
merce. Burn the bonds. Bounce the uncon
stitutonal national banker in all that relates TO

MONEY OF THE PEOPLE, that shall
