POLITICAL MENTION.

POLITICAL MENTION,
BENZ. FRANKLIN said: "My son, al
ways deal with the man who. advertises
you will never regret it.
The Chicago Times-the hardest o
hard money sheets-is wild over the worl
of the Greenbackers in Congress.
THE Greenbackers alone can break the
solid south. The Greenbackers alone car
save the east from the grasp Of the Money
Power.
No solid north in 1880, when the Green
hackers shall have a presidential ticket il
the field. The far west looks to the Green
hackers as the sole hope Of the future.
TIE most vicious hard-pamer in the
country must admit that the Greenbacl
party has accomplished one good work, al
least. We have forced the two old parties
in some localities, to lay aside their party
and sectional hatred, and embrace eacl
other like brothers.
A New YORK woman named her pei
cat Sam Tilden, out Of regard for that
gentleman. Weeks passed happily by
and she grew to love that cat with what
she thought an undying affection. But
last Thursday Sam had four Kittens and
the lady has lost confidence IN him.
JONI KEENER, noted greenback "lu
natic," was bargaining with a prominent
hard.mOney man for the purchase Of q
horse. The hardmoney man, aiming tC
make a point, wanted to know "what
kind Of money he intended to pay" "NC
kind, says John, "a never insult Re
publican by offering cash; | issue bonds.
The renewed sectional agitation in
congress shows cOnclusively that traternaI
feeling between the north and south car
never be fully restored except through the
agency off third political party The
National Grecnback- Labor party not ony
presents principles worthy of the accept
ance OF every honest labOring man in the
country, but it also occupies the only safe
ground upon which all sections of the
country can meet each other half way and
work for the benefit of the whole country
The peaceful citizen who is tired of the
old sectional strife can find rest with the
Greenback party. The half.starved labor
er becomes hopeful inside the Greenback
party. The man who is disgusted with
his old party organization, breathes a
purer political atmosphere in the ranks oi
the GIeenback party. The true, earnest
and patriotic voter ioresees glorious iu'
ture Tor our country in the success of the
only non-sectional party, the National
Greenback Labor party,
- IT is claimed that the interest on the
public debt doesn't hurt anybody, as the
tax comes mostly off of tobacco, whisky
and few other little articles" If thl'
is so, then we can all be rich. Let the
government issue bonds, and give every
man and woman enough Of them so thai
they can live on the interest. 1t certainly
benefits any one to receive interest, ant
since it hurts no one to pay it, thi. woult
be wise and humane act.
If it is in reality true that the times are
frightening up a little throughout the
country, the fact must be accepted as the
result of the agitation of the fnancia
question by the greenback party, whereby
silver has been remonetized, contraction
checked, and the resumption act so modi
fed as to preserve the greenback as Il cur
rcncy. If, therefore, the little the green
hackers have been able to accomplish, has
done so much good, what joyous anj
bountiful blessings might we hot expect
if they could complete the work by hay
ing all their measures adopted.
