1t is not the amount OF money In exist
ence that aids enterprise, but its active
circulation and general distribution.
While the public debt was payable IN
greenbacks the government contrelie It,
but after congress declared it payable IN
coin. it controlled the government.
The rich trade and speculate with an
inflated, interest bearing currency alto
gether beyond the reach ofthe poor. The
poor are limited to an insufficient quanti-
ty of deprecated subsidiary coin, with
which they earn THEM own subsistence
and the interest fortunes of the rich.
Scarcity of money makes labor the
slave of capital.
Abundance of money makes capital the
servant of labor.
Scarcity of money concentrates wealth
in the hands of few.
An abundance of money distributes
wealth equitably among all classes.
Bonds constitute an inflated paper cur
rency for the rich, with which they buy
and sell the accumulated surplus of labor
productions.
They demand their nominal redemption
in coin, in order that they may never be
redeemed.
They force upon labor coin currency,
in order that the volume may never be suf-
ficient to deprive them of their own infia-
ted interest bearing medium.

The manner in which the politics of
this country are controlled and conducted
must be changed or the liberties, to say
nothing of the interests, of the people will
be utterly destroyed. One man, Senator
Conkling, rules the Republican party in
New York, and SO of all the other States.
And the Democratic party is not much
better than the Republican. In Misslss-
ippi the Democratic party is virtually
ruled by few men, who are not above
mediocrity in point of ability. He rules
bv the system of County, District and
State conventions, which are composed
of hungry office-seekers ready to do the
bidding of their leader. The people sub
NIT to this state of affairs without muir
muir because:they are ignorant of its real
character, and they are ignorant because
the political press of the State has not the
manliness to expose and destroy it. The
people must give more attention to the
organization of county conventions and
the selection of county executive commit
tees. If they leave this important matter
in the hands of a few tricksters who make
a trade of politics, their condition will
continue to grow worse. 1t is worse than
folly for the people to look for better
times under a government controlled by
the professional offiee-seekers tina now

"THE ARCH FIEND."
FRANK NJ FoGG IN FANEUIL HALL.
He Says Greenbackers and Democrats
are for Sale.

The Sunday Herald says:-Hop. Frank M.
Fogg, of Maine, termed in the ''call'' "the
arch fiend of the State steal, - was the prin-
cipal speaker at Faneuil Hall at the Labor
meeting Saturday night, occupying about an
hour in the delivery of torrent of abuse OF
the Republican party and its candidate for
President, and winding up by advising Gen.
Weaver to withdraw in favor of Hancock.
He opened by remarking that he stood in
that hall two years ago, when it was packed.
He was then laboring for that friend of the
people, Gen. Benjamin F. Butler. (Hisses and
applause.) He then read a letter he had re-
ceived from G.. B. Hutchinson, Secretary of the
Greenback State central committee, informing
him in advance that the meeting was not called
by any legal body. The speaker inquired,
sWho is the central committee?" and an
swered his conundrum by declaring, "God
Almighty is the captain of the Greenback
party and the people of this great nation is the
State central committee" Having thus sum-
marily d. posed Gen. Weaver from the head of
the Greenback party, the orator proceeded to
dissect the Republican party, which he de-
clared never approached decency but once, and
that was when it passed the homestead bill;
but that was only for effect; fer the party
knew that the poor, miserable scoundrels to
whom 1t prOfeSSedly gave IUU acres OF lard
didn't have enough money to get from their
homes to the West, where the land was and
then having once approached decency, the
party gave 90 100000 acres of the same land to
the Pacific Railroad. The Republican party
claims to be party of protection, and the way
it protects is to put tax Of fifteen cents on po-
tatoes to help the farmers of Maine, and sixty
cents on sugar to rob them. Referring to
Maine the speaker gracefully acknowledged
the truth of the claim that great many Green
~ 1IAl.z
said they get $25 apiece, which he declared
was big price.

Evergreen. Cemeterx.

We publish below the card of the Trustees
of Evergreen Cemetery, requesting the press
and public to withhold conclusions upon the
past management of Evergreen Cemetery.
Since the organization of the present Board
of Trustees, extending over period of about
six months, a thorough overhaullng of all the
cemetery has been going on. A new plan of
the entire cemetery, with the exception of the
recent purchase of "Magdalene Cemetery
(Which has not yet been surveyed and laid out)
has been completed. In this work, done by
the City Civil Engineer, under the direction
of the trustees, it is true that very many and
important errors have been discovered, some
of which are still in the hands of the trustees
undergoing correction. The whole system as
regards accounts has been changed, the trus-
tees believing that the former system could
but lead to confusion and doubt, and, it is not
denied, has so resulted in many instances.
Since Mr.. Duffee, the present Superintendent,
has been in charge, important changes have
been made in the labor department. and the in
ternal affairs of the cemetery. In all this
work no one has been more interested than
Mr.. Jose, heartily seconding all suggestions
looking to recognized system, as we'll as to
the correction of any and all past difficulties,
and it is but justice to say that Mr.. Ramsey,
the late superintendent, has done all in his
power to assist in the examination and correc-
tion of any and all matters brought to his at
tention, having given, since his retirement,
very much of time and attention to this mat
ter. That the former system in the cemetery
has led to confusion and in some cases to re-
suits to be regretted, is not denied by the trus-
tees, but working together as they are for the
one object of Strengthening out the whole
matter, we are Of the opinion that any excite
ment in the public mind, or the interference
Of committees, would tend to embarrass and
delay the work. Let the public await the re-
suit, which we doubt not the trustees will in
due time lay before the City Council.
The following is the card:

To the Editor of the Sunday Times:
Dear Sir,-Certain statements having ap-
peared in the public press rejecting upon the
past management of Evergreen Cemetery we
would ask that further publicity and comment
be withheld; to the end that injustice may not
be done, fully assured as we are of the dispo-

report of Elliot Kings speech at the Demo-
cratic headquarters Friday evening in which
he is quoted as saying:

who used TO go 10 school to me at Auburn and from
whose peculiar make up fust such course might
be expected. Besides Keith is in close communion

here. 1 saw him with one of the renegade
Republicans whose course has been such that
they are trusted by no party. presume what
information King got concerning me came
from them. 1 do remember that L went to
school to Mr. King at Auburn and remember
Just how he used to shut up one eye and squirt
tobacco Juice at the knots in the school room
floor until but little of the knots or floor
could be seen. | remember later when was
at the front fighting to preserve the Union
while he was at home one Of the most violent
secessonsts or copperheads that ever disgraced
the North / presume my make up looked
peculiar to him at that time. 1t was so much
different from his. l remember him at
Mechanic Falls at the time Mrs. Ctark shot
herself. l hope my make upwa different
from his then, even if 1t was peculiar. l
remember him later when 1 with a few
others espoused the Greenback cause. pre-
sumo my make up looked peculiar to him
then; the party was not large enough to en-
courage hopes of Office He was not with US
till later. remember of seeing King in Port
land last summer before the District conven-
ton. He was then playing between Cove
and Anderson in hopes the choice would fall
on him. He told me as much. l have no
doubt the make up of man who came into
the Greenback party without hopes of office
seems peculiar to him.

the rank Republican postmaster I have had
business relations with him and have been

Republicans, Examine Carefully Your
Tickets

A characteristeally dirty trick which the
Democrats tried to play in Oxford County has
just come to light. Electoral tickets have been
sent to Republicans in various towns in that
county bearing the names Of the Republican
electors. Most of the tickets are correct but
III each package are number in which the
name OF EDWIN FIVE appears as OWN
FIVE. In the package which reached Can
ton there were fifteen with this error, the
Dlxheid package was about half wrong, the
Mexico from one half to two thirds and the
Roxbury about one third. Doubtless 9TH
er towns have received some of the
spurious tickets. 1t was hoped by
the originator of this dirty trick that one of
the correct tickets would be examined and on
the strength of it that the whole package circu-
lated The trick has been discovered, but it
should prove a warning to Republicans. The
only safe rule to adopt is to trust no Democrat
whoever he may be, whether he claims
to be respectable or not. The whole
breed seems to be ready to adopt
any strategem this year, no matter how despi-
cable it may be. Don't trust them. Cut ou t
the electoral ticket from the PRESS and COM
pare it yourself with the one handed you at

corner of Maple and Centre streets, suffering
from bad cut ON the back of the head, and
Ward could give no explanation of how he had
received it. DIR. Brooks was called and finally
succeeded in stopping the flow of blood, al
though at one time matters looked serious.
Yesterday Ward was all right, with the excep-
