POLITICAL MENTION.

POLITICAL MENTION.
THE Southern Greenbackers are organ
ixing rapidly, and the solid South ne,
year will have ceased to exist.
The greenback dollar must be lcgf
tender for the payment of all debts. an
by the government issued, protected an
received as absolute money.
A GREENBACK vote is a vote for the in
dnstres as against the bondholdsr an
preposterous claims, by which 400 dol
lars in 1865 will be made $500 dollars il
1891.
SPECIE payments mean that the coin j
there when it is not wanted and that 1t
somewhere else when it is wanted. Ever
six years of the present century up to 1856
stands in proof.
FARMERS! would you have the farm
now under mortgage confscated by you
Shylocks! Then vote for resumption an,
scarcity of money. If not, then vote 70
legal tender money and plenty of it.
WE have had too much class legislation
The six million farmers in this country
have only one representative in the Unitet
States Senate and only four in the House
The bankers and merchants and lawyer
have had their own way.
In April, 1874, came up in the Senate
the bill known as the initiation bill. Tht
radical party had distinctly taken its pos
ition in 1872. And yet the House, ovel
which Mr.. Blaine presided, had passed
the imitation bill by l4O to 1O2.
The Greenback party is to-day the only
national party. In the South we support
this great Union as nation, and not
confederacy liable to be blown away by
the chance breath of popular clamor from
any section.

introduced in this country as it is in Eng

the Greenback ticket.
Mr.. BLAINE voted for the reissue Of
greenbacks, which the Republicans Of
Maine now oppose. THUS he has vacilated
from year to year: and for sixteen years
has been the known dispenser of State
and Federal patronage, until Mr.. Hayes
declined to yield to his control.
THE voters in this country have been
too negligent. They have abdicated their
sovereign powers. They have allowed
rings to take control of the government
and their libertie, are endangered. 1t is
expected that bribery will be practiced in
the close legislative districts this fall.
II is the one duty and object to sup.
press corporations for Banking, for Rail.
road control, for Coal Monopoly, for Oil
Monopoly, for transportation OF men, the
mails, and all the commodities of produc-
ton; corporations for telegraphing, for
lighting our houses; which at present
close the means of reaching the markets
Of the world.
To avoid the transfer of specie and the
troublesome handling of coin, the Bank of
France issues bills Of credit, called bank
notes, which represent the specie lying in
its vaults. These are the notes which it
ordinarily issues to its customers in return
for the drafts and bills of exchange which
they bring to it, and the redemption Of
which, secured by drawers and drawees
alike, it undertakes the task of procuring.
A VOTE for the greenback candidate is
vote for U, s. money; any other
based on hundred millions Of
go!d,-one dollar of money and nine
dollars of confidence. When the one
dollar is gone the confidence Hubble
bursts as it has done ten times since
1900 in the United States, and as
as it did last month in Canada to the tune
Of some millions of dollars of bank note
currency.
MILLIONS of our producers are, by our
infamous system of political economy, rob-
bed of three-ffths of the proceeds of their
labor, and have not the means so to do.
II our hard toilers obtained their just re-
wards, there would be no vast fortunes
among us. Wendell Phillips prophecied
thai the time would soon arrive when
mankind would look on the millionaires
Of the present period as monstrosities out
Of date, like the Megat' RUINS and Mas
todons of past ages.
"Such is the reciprocity of feeling be.
tween capitalist and laborer, that manu-
factories or workshops are scarcely ever
closed; the employers, in the dullest of
times, preferring to run them even at a
loss, rather than throw their employees
out Of work; and the latter, under such
circumstances, cheerfully comply with
reduction in hours and wages, cutting
down their already bare necessities of life
to tide over the dark hour, confident that
when better times return their full time
and wages will be at once returned"
WHAT the Greenback party wants is
the immediate calling in of all United
States bonds, and payment of them,
principal and interest, in legal tender,
lawful ueenback paper money of the
United States, and every dollar of such
issue of legal tender lawful money to be
protected by the government as at par
with other lawful money, gold or silver
com, never to be converted into bonds of
