Much capital is attempted to be made ny
tina advocates of the so-callod Greenpack
portv by the fact that all Democrats are not
in accord on the currency question: III
tho South and West there IL harmony oh
tbis issue between Democrats. In the East
many leading Democrats are favorable 10
,he bondholder's view of the question
But Eastern, Western and Southern Demo-
crats are heartily united on questions Oh
more importance even than the hnanoe'
and there Is not likely to DO spht between
them. The practical result will DO when
wa Get Democrat In the executive branch
of the government, q large majority OF
Democrats In Congress- embracing all the
Southern and Western members-wil DC
favorable to Gen1 Tom. EwinR's hnanciai
policy, and thus be able to decide the a0uon
NJ the varty in Democratic caucus, and
control the administration OF the govern
ment on the financial question. This Is
the only ground for the honest dreenbaok-
er's hope. If the Democrats cannot or VIII
not bring the relief he pants for modined'
of course, 80 as net to make the remedy
worse than the disease, then he had as well
on off and hang himself His party-so-
| colled--will come about as near getting
control of the government as George Fran
els Train did, and be able to WELD about us
mpoh vital force. A vote for spurious
Greenbacker, who is doing all his little pest
to organize a party to defeat Greenback
principles, with any idea of furthering the
Greenback cause, might 40 well be SUBJ
merged in mid-ocean, 1t is lost VoVe--
an utterly wasted vote.
But suppose Democrats do differ about
measures of monetary relief, how do the
Greenback Moguls harmonize9 There If
Genl West, the Astrologer, and Mogui Of
the Northwest; and there is Dr. Kuber
Davis the formulator of theories, Mogi
of the North east; and here is our owl
sweet John T., the organizer and fugleman
Mooul of the centre ct seems that the
"partvr has no Mogul or Committee mar
in the South or we would put him in thu
ealaxy;)-do they'agreef Not at all. The ex
traordinary genius for finance which thes'
Moguls have suddenly developed, eVoiVe
different formulas" Ask Greenbaci
Mopul what he wants and he will drown you
with deluge of platitudes, meaningless
and impracticable, but you can read IN hi
