TREASON.

The American banking association
and the Honest Money League report
that during the past year they have
prepared and sent out through the
country vast quantities of finance lit
erature, for the purpose of educating
the people, and counteracting the
"pernicions tendency of the greenback
heresies." Among the items sent out
they mention several thousand ready
made editorials, to be simultaneously
sprung by a hireling press upon the
people.
So all at once, these secondhand
economists hold up their puny hands
in holy horror, and scout the idea
that any thing is, was, or ever can
be money. except gold and silver.
But before the changes on this string
cease to vibrate, a chorus strikes the
public ear declaring that the PROPOSE
ton to allow congress to control the
issue and volume of money is unconsti
tutional, preposterous and an insult to
the American people. Ifany two
points are well established with the
hard moneyites, they are these.
The Honest Money League through
its secretary; T. M. Nichol, says "the
precious metals are the only,real mon
ey."
The American Banking association,
and all the hard money orators and
statesmen say the same.
They also unite in declaring that
the control of the money volume
should be taken from congress, and
left to the banks. THAT the mere
suggestion OF giving each congress the
power to issue money and regulate
its volume is an insult to the common
sense of the people, and would lead to

PITTSBURGH LETTER.

THE NATIONAL STATE CONVENTION

The National State convention will
assemble in Columbus, Ohio, on We'd
nssday. June 4th, 1879, for the pur-
pose Of nominating candidates for
State offices. There has been consid-
cradle talk among the Democratic Of
fee seekers about a coalition of the
Democratic and National parties, and
they have called their convention to
meet in Columbus the same day.
There will be desperate effort made
by the Democracy to capture the Ma
tional convention and have their tick
ct endorsed, giving the Nationals one
or two of the places on the ticket
As far as we are concerned, we will
neither vote for or support any ticket
but one composed of Greenback men
on a sound Greenback platform, and
will neither vote for or support any
other, and we know we are speaking
the sentiments of the Nationals of
northern Perry county and believe it
&c be the sentiments Of the party in
the county.
