Canadian Greenbackism.


"This Rag Baby movement, exclaimed
a gentleman talking to Capt Wynne,
''seems TO be growing in the affections OF
the people. "Now," said the Captain,
enough Of that If you please, don't like
to see man of your intelligence talk
like that. Rise above the little petty
ideas Of the Globe and the small fry or
gans which follow in its wake. Speak Of
this currency not as the Rag Baby but as
an Intelligent money! don't believe in
people making light CT these things. You
see every movement OF a public ma
ture has to go through three stages.
The FIRST is ridicule, the second is abuse,
and the third IS conviction. Now, the
National Currency question has arrived
Mt the second stage and is fast approach
ing the third.People who frst laughed
and scolfed at the idea as the vaporings
Of advanced lunatics, are now thinking
and rejecting and it is only those who
look at the question through the medium
of fpolitical rancor who see in the National
Currency nothing but the political suprem.

taken most kindly 10 the movement. NJ
sir" said the Captain, Don't talk of the
National Currency movement as the Rag
Baby, but speak Of 1t with candor as The
intelligent money Of the future OF thi
great and glorious Domain"

An Organ for the Pope.

1t is stated that when the present Pope
was a Cardinal he cherished the idea Of
publishing Catholic Journal that should
be an organ for his Church and that
could be read by all people of Europe and
America in their mother language. Since
his elevation to the Ponh6cate he has ex,,
erted himself to start this newspaper, and
now announces that its first number will
be issued next month. II will be issued
in seven different languages; it will dis
cuss the political and economical question
of the day, and officially represent the
opinions Of the Holy See. The compost.
ors are 10 be the pupils Of the deaf and

will start with $4,000 subscribers. Very

A Girls Wicked waywardness.

A marriage recently took place in Prov
idence under circumstances remarkable
for their romantic and sad interest. The
facts OF the case are as follows! A young
lady belonging to n respectable well-to-do
family, fell in love with shiitless good
for-nothing fellow. Being a passionate
young woman she loved desperately, mad
ly! But her father, being also passionate,
but in another way, was equally desper-
ate and equally mad. 1t is the same old
story OF n young woman loving some one
whom she ought not to. The persistency
with which the average young lady falls
in love with all the worthless vagabonds
with whom she comes IN contact is, to say
the least, remarkable. Giyeher a decent,
steady man to love and she gives him the
mitten at once, and flies to the arms of her
dissipated Iothario, who borrows all her
spare change to play policy with, and fin
ally elopes with her, can't support her,
and sends her home for her old man Ia
take care of. Such was the case in the
present instance. The father had picked
out a nice, smart young man for his
daughters lover, and the nice young man
was perfectly willing to play that part
And in sooth he was Il smart young man
and loved the girl fondly and devotedly.
Things remained in statu quo for some
time, both suitors pressing their claims.
The one, favored by the father and repuls-
ed by the daughter, the other favored by
the daughter and repulsed by the father.
At length things came to crisis. There
was stormy interview between the old
man and the shittless lover, and the latter
left the house Just three inches in advance
ofthe fathers boot. The girl cried, ofcoursc
and threatened to do all manner Of desper'
ate things, but finally Gained down and a
week latershe had promised her hand to the
respectable young man, who was immcdi'
ately transported to the seventh heaven,
metaphoriCally speaking. The father
prayed that the other lover might be
transported not metaphorically but liter
ally. The time appointed for the nuptal:
was drawing near, and the sound Of mar
riage bells was almost heard, when an
event occurred which turned all the prom
ised joy to gloom and made two lives
miserable. The happy lover had taken
his promised bride to an entertainment
gwen at the house of one of our well
known citizens, and when the mad
merry music of harp and Of horn" rang
out, tie couple joined In the dance. lr
this complishment the lady was perfec
ton, nd many will remember the belle
danseuse, as she was called, who FIVE years
ago, was considered the most graceful
waItzcr in Providence. The heat of the

Grceubackcrs threw, at their first attempt
in 1876.
In 1912 The Liberty party was sweled
to 1850. The second year of the Green
blckers, 1877, their vote rose from 500 to
G,000.
In lS43, the third year of the Liberty
party, the vote rose to GAG In the third
year Greenback party vote rose to 10000.
In 1874, the fourth year Of the Liberty,
their vote fell off over 500 votes. The
fourth year of the Grcenback vote-this
year-thc vote increased nearly 10000.
The vote Of the Liberty party rose and
fell from year to year up to lSiS, when it
threw its largest vote-l2,037.
The next year, 1S40, the name was
changed to Free Soil and the vote drop.

off over 70S votes.
In 1856 there was no election. In 1857
the Free Soil vote was down l,5l7, or
less than its first year. THIS looked like

THREE years ago the grecnback party
polled in the whole United States, $4,000
votes. This year in the two small States
of Maine and Iowa alone, there were 100

What greater encouragement can any

SECRETARY SHERMAN, riding by a
church and hearing the minister return
ing thanks to Almighty God for sending
bountiful crops, galloped up to the door
and called: "tIallo In there! | want you
folks to understand that | am the party
who is responsible for the late abundant
har IS, and hereafter Igoyern your re.
marks accordingly"
WHEN the Grccnback party started in
Maine, gold was 8 cents premium. twas
considered n good joke to say that the
party only had cents to stand on. The
premium disappeared and our party grew
then they told us that resumption would
kill us, Resumption came and the party
grew TO immense dimensions. Now they
say that the Improvement in business
when it comes-will kill us again. Let il
come by all means, and the Grccnbacker'
may have some money as well as their en-
cimics, to carry on a campaign.
Iowa and Ohio.
About fifty thousand votes IN Iowa, and
fifteen thousand in Ohio, is the result o
the recent election.
is evident that the Greenback pro
icssions of Ewing, and the split in The
Greenback party, was the cause of thu
small vote polled in Ohio. The lesson t
b. drawn from Ohio, then, is that ther,
should be no aifiliatiOn with Democrats
no confidence placed in Democratic pro
tessions Of Greenbackism, and that ther,
should be no further dissentons IN tn,
ranks Of the Greenback party.
The large gain in Iowa, over the vote o
two years ago, is the result of unitet
action, no attempt at aililiatiOn and bet
Ter organized campaign. In Iowa, as il
Ohio, the Democratic professions of Green
backism, drew largely from the Green
hackers.
That there would have been at lcas
100000 votes cast in each state had no
the Democrats adopted Greenback plat
forms, there cannot be the slightest doubt
