Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1878-08-16


Just before She elections last fall
lending Republicans were loud in their
predictions that the Greenbackers
would draw three-fourths of their
strength from the Republican party.
But tho vote showed that the Green
hackers got about one-tenth OF their
strength from the Republican ranks
and the other nine-tenths from the
Democrats. The same men are again
ut work trying to delude Democrats
into voting tho Greenback ticket
but they will SEQ thab Republicans
vote for their party candidate al til,
same.

The Democratic party in 1868 de
clared for "One currency for the gov
eminent and the people, the laborer
and the office holder, the pensioner
and the soldier, the producer and the
bondholder." How much in advance
Of this demand are our Greenback
friends today?

Looking to the writer's intention,
not his phraseology, and with one inn
portant qualification, the sentiment
above, which seems to DO u fayorite
one with our Grcenback friends. may
be accepted. We will suppose "in its
stead to be misprint for in his stead,
meaning that the legal tender act of
the government is u mans hacker
when he offers genuine money in pay
ment Of debt. We will substitute,
too, for the words "is not paid" etc,
some such expression rs that he re-
ceives not all that he looks for; money,
good or bad in its capacity Of money
merely, being only ticket for some
thing further desired, in which sense,
not its intrinsic value but its legiti-
macy, is the thing of Importance. This,
doubtless, is a concession which must
be made.
The qualification we refer to would
be Il proviso like this; Provided that
the sum of government treasury or
ders 50 issued do not at any time en-
coed the amount of tax-moneys rea-
sonably required and to be expected 10

vastly larger than this. AS we have

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
of dyspepsia or disordered liver. The re-
suit of these diseases upon the masses of
intelligent and valuable people is most
alarming, making life actually bur-
den instead of pleasant existence of
enjoyment and usefulness, as it ought to
be. There is no good reason for this.
if you will only throw aside prejudice
and skepticism, take the advice of
druggists and your friends, and try one
bottle OF Green's August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of
bottles of this medicine have been given
away to try its virtues, with satisfac-
tory results in every case. You can
buy sample bottle for 10 cents to try.
Three doses will relieve the worst case.
Positively sold by all druggists on the
Western Continent.

The Record.

Below we give the votes Of the Democrats
aud Republicans in Congress on the mole i'm
portant financial measures. IL will be noticed
that the Republicans always stood 10y the
money power and all measures in its interest;
On an amendment 70 The bill authorizing
the issuing of bonds, June 2S;h, 1862, favOriug
their taxation by the States. the Democrats
all voted Yes with S Republicans, while all
the other Republicans voted No, aud the
amendment was lost.
On the 10Th of February, 1868, Oh the bill
to establish National Banks, every Democrat
but il both branches voted No. In 1864 on
the Supplement- bill to perpetuate National
Banks, only Democrats voted for 1t, aud all
the rest 65, voted against It.
On the act to pay the bonds in coin, passed
in 1869, every Democrat, both in the House
aud Senate except one, voted against this
measure.
Willie every Democrat voted to tax govern
meut bonds in 1862, every Republican but s
voted against it, aud while every democrat in
the House. in 1869, voted 10 exempt coffee,
tea. sugar, salt, matches aud tobacco from
taxation, every Republican voted against
taking ch the tax. Republicans don't want
Z Tue poor upuNublA'Cl tdAVNf bbA "tiN wy
clad to vote tax on the necesSa:ies Of life,
ussd by the mass of the people.
On a bill in 1870 to refund 100000 900
5 20 bonds payable in greeuLacks, into bonds
payable in coin, every Democrat in the House
voted No, aud every Republican, except two,
voted Yes
In July, 1870, a bill was offered to substitute

of the National Bank notes, Every Democrat
but voted Yes, aud every Republican but 10,
No.
On the resumption act every Democrat III
House and Senate voted No, aud every Rep
ublcan Yes, except 81
The Democrats have always favored the
taxation Of the luxuries Of life, and the ex-
emption Of the necesSares. Before the war,
when the Democracy was in power, tea, coffee,
sugar, matches, &c, were exempted from
taxation. But as soon as the Republican
party got into power. tax was placed upon
them
