"Oh, see. an advertisements"
"No; not an advertisement. We

We remarked to an intelligent reput-
licsn friend the other day that the act OF
1869, making bonds payable in gold.
which by the contract were payable in
g~reenbacks, was the most ~stupendous
swindle that had ever been perpetratcd
upon a people. when he replied that
everybody understood that the Intention
was to pay the bonds in gold. Not &c
speak OF Thad Stevens, who denounced
the act AS a monstrous robbery and every
democratic congressman, all OF whom
voted and spoke against it. We here pre-
sent what John Sherman himself said
he same John Sherman who now SAWS
the bonds must be paid in gold-silver.
even. being beneath the ideas of his
friends. Mr.. Sherman SAID. in a letter
written March 20. 1868:
MY construction of the law is the result OF
careful examination. and l feel quite sure an
impartial court would confirm 1t II the case
should be tried before u court. ls-nd you my
views as fully stated In a speech. Your idea
that We propose TO repudiate or violate . promise
when We offer TO redeem the principal in legal
tenders, is erroneous. | think the bond -bold.r
violates his promise rch-n he re(uI>s to take
the same kind IF money ne paid for The bonds.

IT'S 10 be tested by Jay Cooks advertisement, I

II. but We ought not TO be deferred from what is
night FOR fear Of unlsseryed epithets. II upder
lhe law as II stands, the holders OF j-20s can only
be paid in gold. the bond-holder can demand
only the kind OF money ne paid, then he Is 4 re-
pudiatoT and eItoI TONER to demand money more
valuable than he gave. Truly yours.

One year after this he had changed his
mind. and as senator assisted in framing
payable in com. Now he does not want
them paid in coin but in gold. silver
having become too base IL metal for his
use; and still there are intelligent re-
publicans, who permit this man and his
satellites to gull them. through their
party feelings. into supporting every
thing done in the interest of the bond
holders and at the expense of the peo-
pie. Everybody believed the intention
was to pay the bonds In gold Indeed ?
Mr.. Sherman did not seem to think so
in 1868. His opinion, he said. was
formed as the result of careful e1ami-
nation" and what Wds his opinion?
Il think the b%ondholder violates his
promise when he refuses to take the
same kind of money he paid for the
bonds" The only difference between
Mr.. Sherman and the people is that he
has been in consultation with the bond
holders, and has become their attorney,

licans, have not.
