Weekly Chillicothe crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1878-19??, 1879-12-18

AhLhE 10 every lHulCdllun VI lile DrcHh-
ing out of a political volcano on the con-
tinent of America at an early day. LIT the
crisis come.
THE property toJm Is striking Tin
the right place this time. The bulls,
bears, lam0S and wolves wno have been
running will IN speculation for the past
few months in New York have caught u
tartai, as the dispatches show. OF course
somebody has to be ruined.
HEREAFTER let no man say it will do
no good for him to vote the Greenback
ticket. If he believes in Greenback prin-
clples let him prove it by his vote. All
parties were in the minority at one time
They approach final victory by degrees.
Every Greenback vote should be made to
count.
1T Is being developed day by day that
the Greenback vote in New York, Penn.
sylvania and other States was largely di-
yided between the two old parties by the
local canvassing boards. This was done
to some extent by mutual agreement, SO
as to discourage the mem Jers Of the new
party and to have the impression 90 over
the country that it is On the decline. This
is an old trick.
THE progress Of the Greenblck senti.
ment, which is unanimous among the
lndsses of the South, is overshadowed and
smothered in the poisonous malerla of
sectional hate. The same scare-Crou is
used by the unprinciped manipuIators OF
sectional prejudice In the North. The
masses OF people in the North, are be-
gulled INTO voting against their interests
under the influence Of the internal ensign
Of the war.
IT will be seen that the public debt un-
der the financial management of John
Sherman, has been increased within the
past year $93, l6l, ,5S9.5l. At the same
time the funding of the 500 fives and
skies into fours and four and half, when
it is taken into consideration that the
latter drew interest quarterly, and certain
other advantages, holders consider them
about as good an inveitment as the old
SKIES were.
IT was Thomas Jefferson who rode un.
attended on horseback, to ba inaugurated
as President Of the United States, and
hltchcd his horse to the fence while he
took the oath of his high office. We
wonder what he would think of the Grant
boom. In all the list Of names proposed
for the presidency, we see but one that
suggests return to republican and dem.
ocratic Gimplicity-ouly one person who
well might be as primitive as Jefferson.
SECRETARY SHERMAN says: "These
notes (grecnbacks) are payable to bearer;
they pass from hand to hand as currency;
they bear no interest. We recognize the
fact that the government can not pay us
gold. We receive these notes as money.
The power to fix the standard of money
belong to Congress, This high power i,
expressly prohibited to the States. say
that justice and equity are amply satisfied
IT we redeem these Oonds in the same kind
of money, OF the same intrinsic value it
bore at the time it was issued"
POWERS az great and dangerous as
those welded by banking and railroad
monopolle5, should not be exercised by
individuals or corporations, much less by
foreigners and aliens. These have al
ready become too formidable for legisla-
lures and officials to contend with, and
unless the people put forth q united effort
to save themselves, their boasted inde-
pendence will become phantom, and
their temple will fall when grappled by
these giant pirates of the land and sea.
IHE coming session OF congress is not
gong to change matters politically. 1t
Is evident that the party in precedence
Will attempt to pump life into their func-
tons by catering to the money pirates OF
the East, and the neglects OF the interests
OF the country will be repeated. These
pirates will encourage them in this at
tempt to prevent dissolution, while at the
same time'they know the leaders will aid
IN the election OF Grant as the man se
lected to carry out the schemes of the
Eastern plutocracy.

An Honest Retort.
