our Greenback members of congress
concerning the presentation of the
same at the next regular session.
We wish we could get up a petition
q mile long. We wish that every sol
dier who served in the army would
sign his name to the petition. 1t will
be an irresistible demand-one that the
peoples representatives in Congress
dare not ignored
Let the battle cry of every soldier
next year be, the same kind of a dol
lar for the soldier as for the bandhol.

of the Greenhack party and march on
to victoryl
Ii John Sherman don't know where
to get the money to pay up this right
eous indebtedness to the old defender.
of the Union. we will suggest that il
be raised by taxing the bondsl
1t would be nothing but right and
just, in as much as the old soldiers
have been taxed to pay the interest
on the bonds, that now the bonds be
taxed to pay the soldiers.
In few years the old soldiers will
be sleeping beneath the clouds of the
valley, and their children will bt
working in the heat..of summer and
cold Of winter to pay off the yearly in
terest due on the bonds; therefore thi.
question should be settled atonce.
In fifty years from now the soldier
of the Union army will be forgotten
but the bonded debt will be present
reminder Of the war.
Rally around the flag of Right and
Justice, old comrades, even as YOU
used to rally around the old Stars ant
Stripes, and demand ofthe govern
ment justice for yourselves and you
children.
Circulate these petitions, get all th'
signers you can. Send them to us Of
send them direct to some one of oul
Greenback Congressman, in order tha
the matter may be presented at tn.

THE SOLDIERS AND BONDHOLDRRS

The seed which we began to SOW
when we published the little pamph-
let entitled "The Soldiers and the
Bondholders," is beginning to bear
fruit.
Old soldiers who enlisted under an
agreement to receive $13 per month
in coin, and were after compelled to
accept paper money that was depre-
ciated through the wicked machina-
tions of gold spectators, are begin
ming to feel the great injustice that was
done them, and are asking the gov
ernment 10 do its duty in the premi-
ses by making up to them the differ
ence between greenbacks and gold.
For fifteen years they have seen
well fed and well clothed bondholders
drawing coin interest on untaxed
bonds which they bought with the
same deprecated paper money, and
they are asking why the government
should practice such unjust discrimi-
nation.
For fifteen years they have seen
crippled soldiers and the widows and
orphans of dead soldiers receiving
their pensionsiin appreciated currency,
while it paid gold to the bsndholdsrs,
who did nothing accept to injure the
credit Of the government in order that
they could convert their gold into
greenbacks and then exchange their
greenbacks at par for bonds.
For fifteen years they have been
taxed, through the internal revenue
system, to pay these selfsams bonds,
while the bondholder pays no taxes.
For long time they have been
chatting and freting under the mon
strous injustice thus practiced upon
them, and are now taking practical
steps towards obtaining redress.
They are beginning to get up peti-
tious to Congress, asking that body te
pass q law making up to each soldier
and sailor the difference between gold
and greenbacks, with interest thereon
up to the present time.
We have frequently been asked to
take some steps toward obtaining such
redress by the way ofpetitioning Con
gross; but we have patiently waited
till the proper time arrived for such a
step, till such time a. there was som,
hope Of there being party in powe,
that would enforce such measure.
Now that the question OF the pay
ment Of the bonds has been forced
upon the consideration of the people
it is time for the old soldiers to make
a demand for justice.
We therefore have prepared a shor
but pointed petition covering ever,
legal point involved in the case, ant
we publish the same that old soldier
every where can cut it out and paste
it upon q sheet of foolscap paper, &c,
signers to 1t and send IL to US BY mail
