HOW A GREENBACK MOODY AND
SANKEY REACH The FARMERS
IN MAINE.

From the Boston Herald.
All sorts Of instrumentalities are to be
made use of this year to induce people to
become Grsenbsckers. The "Greenback
Moody & Sankey" are now travelling in
New England and have appeared before
large audiences in Connecticut and Maine.
Of course this means nothing to the people
who say the Grssnbask party is dead, but
to the man who is Watching day by day the
course Of events, il is significant. The men
who are preaching and singing Greenback
doctrine are referred to above, are farmer
and dentist. Mr.. J. II. Randall was a
dentist in an Ohio town until recently. He

Republican Ohaf.

The Republican Convention held
at Shawnee, two years ago this month,
and in which Judge John H. Kelly
took an active part passed the follow
ing resolution:
REsoLvED.--The Republican party
is opposed to monopolies and therefore
demands that all public printing be
let to the lowest bidder.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
The Republicans have succeeded in
slecting their candidates for Probate
Judge and Sheriff, and we have offer
ed Judge Kelly to publish the Probate
Notices for fifteen cents each, which
he is paying or causing to be paid
five times that amount for each and
every notice to the Tribune. Sheriff
Martin is giving all the advertising he
contro Is to the Tribune at nearly
double what we have agreed to do II
for, and in many cases the interested
parties have requested the publication
of their advertising in The Press
but have been denied the right tC

The Republican convention meets
here to day, and if they did not pas

WHAT WILL KILL THE 6REEBACK
PARTY.

The hard-money monkeysl are con.
stantly chattering about the big grain
crop we are going to have this year,
and asserting that it will kill the
Greenback party!
Last year there was about sixty per
cent. more grain shipped to Chicago
than the year before, yet it brought
snly about eleven per cent more mon
ey.
The probabilities that the shrinkage
of prices this year viii nearly if not
quite equal thelincrsase in the bulk Of
the grain raised.
So that no matter how hard the far
mer may work he gets little or moth
ing for the extra grain he raises.
The only thing that does not shrink
in price is the ten per cent. mortgage
which some money monger has upon
his farm.
The mortgage holds its own. Ii
calls for just as many dollars when
grain is cheap as when it is dear.
II is not effected by the drouth.
II is not drowned out by the heavy
rains.
1t never winter-kills.
Late springs and early frosts never
troubleit.
Potato bugs do not disturb it.
Moth and rust do no destoy it.
1t grows nights, Sundays, rainy
days and even holidays.
It brings sureicrsp every year, and
sometimes twice year.
II produces cash every time.
II does not have to wait for the mar.
ket TO advance.
It is not subject to speculations o.
the "bullsv.and "bears" Of the "Board
of Trade"
II ia estimated that there are 81,
hundred million dollars Of mortgage
upon the real estate of Illinois. Wis

interest payablesemi-annually.
The interest money alone amounts
to sixty millions per yearl
A large proportion OF this indebted
ness was ..created when grain was
worth nearly double what it is now. 1t
therefore takes twice as much grain
every year to pay off this annual in
stallment Of sixty millions of interest
money!
1t is load that:galls and frets and
chafes.
1t is burden that the farmer can
not shake off.
1t is with him morning, noon and
night.
1t sits with him at the table.
1t gets under his pillow when he
sleeps.
1t rides upon his shoulders during
the day.
1t consumes his grain crop.
1t devours his cattle.
1t selects the finest horse and the
latest steers.
Itlives upon the first fruits of the
season.
1t stalks into the dairy where the
busy housewife tolls day after day
and month after month. and takes the
incest cheese and the choicest butter.
It shares the children's bread and
robs them of half their clothes.
1t is the memorable and exacting
task master.
Its whip is as merciless and cruel as
the lash of the slave driver.
1t is ever present. The farmer can
never forget it. 1t is a constant re-
minder to him that there is something
wrong somewhere. When he sees that
it takes twice as much of the pro.
ducts Of his labor to pay the interest
this year that it took ten years ago he
begins to study into the cause.
Investigation opens his eyes.
He soon finds contraction of the
currency has been the cause of cutting
down the price of his wheat and he
sensibly concludes that nothing but an
expansion of the currency will put the
price up again.
He finds that contraction has doub
led the burden of the mortgage and
he begins to demand that expansion
shall tighten it.
The more he investigates the sub
ject the more he sees the wicked work
of the Shyloeks, the money-mongsrl
and the bend-holders.
At every turn he discovers the fin.
ger marks of John Sherman.
In every financial act of Congress.
he finds that there has been chair
rivited upon the hands of labor.
In the policy of the Republican par
ty he finds nothing but oppression ant
usurpation, and in the policy of th'
| Democratic party he finds no hope Oh
suggestion of relief.
| He investigates the principles o
Greenbackism and in itfinds the onl,
hope of the future.
He becomes a Greenbacker.

lSt. Louis Globe-DemocratI

lSt Louis Globe-DemocratI
As to the acceptance by Jefferson Davis
of the Beauvoir mansion in Mississippi
General Beauregard said public opinion
in New Orleans seemed about evenly di
vided.s Some thought Mr.. Davis might
accept the bequests without any feeling
while others were of the contrary belief
as the circumstances connected with this
strange will appeared rather peculiar.
"Was the lady who thus befriended
the ex-Confederate President regarded as
peculiar" asked the reporter.
81 know nothing about that"
GLOW much will the estate amount to?''
ooh, the inventory has been filed, and
it won't yield the beneficiary much more
than 100000 or 10000"
"The reports have stated a much lar.
ger sum-$2OO0O0 or thereabout."

"The relatives are determined to con-
test the will, are they not?'

think of their claims?"
"Oh, they consider the lady knew
what she was about, and could do what
she pleased with her money"
"Even this small fortune will be of
great assistance to Mr.. Davis?"
eyes, | suppose So"
elias he had any means of support of
late years?"
"None in particular that l knew of;
although l have heard he possesses some
small means.
'Hasn't Mrs. Davis little money in
her own right"
"T never heard So"
'Mr. Davis has very pleasant family,
has he not?
81 have not the pleasure of their ac-
quaintance."
"Did not his daughter marry into a
wealthy familyW
81 do not know sir"
These last answers were made in such
manner that the reporter became con-
vinced that the subject was an unpleas-
ant one, and later in the day was assured
by friend of Gen. Beauregard that the
relations between the latter and his old
Commander-in- Chief, never fraternal, had
not changed.
In appearance Gen. Beauregard has
changed but little in the past few years,
and, according to his friends, is in every
way the same man of whom the Over-cO1l-
fident South Carolinians sung in 1861:
With mortar, Paixhan, and petard
We send "Old Abe" our Beauregard.
Gen. Beauregard is now receiver of a
large bank in New Orleans, and also holds
a position in connection with the militia
forces Of the state, which yields small
income.
