Resumption in the Corners-The Effect Upo,
the Business Prospects of That Famous Lo-
ealty-A Public Meeting to Protest.
[From the Toledo Blade JAM Ill
/ CoNFEDRIr X ROADS,
witch is in the State NV kentucky
Jan. 2, 1879.
At last the blow hez fallen. The in
famous Sherman hez forced resump-
shun upon a long-sufferin people witch
hez bin in the merciless grasp Nv the
men they borrowed money. Nv, WITCH
means to us finanshel room. He hez
refoozed to us more money-he hez
turned def ear to our appeels fer on
limited greenbax, and now requires us
to come down to gold basis, and do
biznis as we did in the slow times afore
the late onpleasantniss.
Their wua feelin Nv depreshn at the
Corners wich wuz painful. The deekin.
that sweet old saint, stood over the bar
at Bascom's, his Uncontrolled hand
graspin glass Nv hkker, supported on
either side by Capt. Mop elter and Issa-
ker Gavlt, each Nv EN- also graspin q
glass Nv ikker.
"Resumpshen is upon u.s." sed the
deekin, signing pitifully, "and we shell
have to pay gold to the graspin bond
holders. Wher is it to end?"
And then we desidid to hold q meetin
to wunst, and, at least, protest agin this
infamus preceedin. with the faint hope
that the powers at Washinton might
heed the groans NV an apprest people,
and let up on EN-. Accordingly the
horn WIZ tootid, ana in fifteen nlinits
we he'd gatherin Nv the faithful within
them tinae-honored walls. The people
Nv the Corners have plenty NV time to
attend meetins, and they are the most
accomplished passers Nv resolooshens
that know Nv.
After lamentin the deprest condishen
Nv biznls, consekent upon contrakshen,
and the utter and entire room that must
follow the compellin Nv us to get down
to gold basis, the follerin resoloohens,
prepared by me, wuz presented by my
self:
WAREAs, That feend in human shape that
tool Nv the money power, and that sucker Nv
uAG3lSuo4 DlOOQ, JOQu o1CLIudtl, CSCC6bdEy NV
the Treasury, hez persistently forced contrak-
shen and hez wound UP his infamus career by
| resoomln; and
WAREAs, While the Corners wish to deal
fairly by the nashnel creditors, except in The
matter wv paying the nashnel debt; and
WAREAs, Eff the Corners hez to pay the
nashnel debt and SIGH, it claims the high priv
lego Nv maxim the money it is to be paid H. 50
that it kin accommodate itself to SIGH circum-
stances ez may happen to circumstance; there
fore, be it
Resolped, That the Corners, in the interest
Nv opprest labor and langishin capital, demands
that the order resoon n specie payment be to
wunst revoked.
Resolved That it is the dooty Nv the Genral
Government, instid of gittin down to gold
basis, to ishoo money in SIGH quantities and NV
SIGH nacher that 1T will make our lots here in
the Corners worth wat they wuz at the close Nv
the war, and make EN- so ez quick as they die
then.
Res0lned, That the necessitv Nv the Corners
is credit, and that, under the system perposed
by the feend Sherman, credit is simply impos-
sible.
ResolHed, That we want a finanshel system
that will enable us to berry $4,000 on an acre
lot the vally Nv the money bein Nv no akkount
SO that it will buy likker. " $4,000
/ Resolved, That the General Government, in

pellin' us to exchange our greenDax for gold,
! With the ntenshun Nv retiring our greenbax,
and thereby contractin' the vollum Nv the cur
rency, shood keep our greenbax af1oat and add
to them the gold ia cirhelashun, thus expandin'
| the currency and givin' the Corners plenty NV
capitle with which to develop it's resources
ReSohed, That every citizen here present
i does sollumly protest agin bein' compelled to
take gold for his greenbax, and hereby enters

the West p. # H. @. DIS -+.t e3

arose. That cuss is pizen, and always
turns up at the wrong place. ~....
Fl wood sejest,' sed Josef, "that we
may be goin too fast. Possibly resump-
+ shen is mere matter Nv form and hez
no substance into it. [ kin understand
how Secretary Sherman may advertise
to pay out gold for legle tenders, in
/ Washinton, without forcin it onto the
rest Nv the kentry. Suppose we put the
matter to test, wood sejest, there
fore, that some one NV the groanin
capitalists in this house take dollar
legle tender note, and go over to the
nashnel bank and demand gold for it
and see whether they have been instruct
ed to pay it." ~. 80 saa ID. .@a.
+ The proposishen seemed to me to be
a fair one, and | called upon some one
to go over and try the experiment.
4 Their wuz awkerd pause.
Every member Nv the meein went
through the form NV feelin through his
close. But, to my intense disgust, thel
wuznt q dollar in The house-not a
dollar! Fl ayH
IT pity 700 victims Nv a false finan-
shell pohsy from the bottom Nv my
heart" said Josef, sneeringly. < You
hev SO much to do with it. It must
worry a man to be compelled to pay in
gold, when he never pays in nothin. II
