Our greenbacksr friends are singular
people. They are very apt at making
arguments from bad premises. misquot-
ing their opponents, and attributing evil
motives to everybody but themselves.
1t is clearly within our memory when
anybody that talked OF silver or gold as
money was spoken OF by them as "idol-
aters, worshipers of the golden calf,
slaves of the hard money oligarchy &C."
This was very funny to sensible people.
but it is still funnier Row to listen to
their leaders asking congress for
$1O0, 900 900 in greenbacks where they
formerly asked for 81. 900, 900. 600, and
pleading BY the side of democrats fol-
more silver dollars. Mr.. Ladd's speech,
last Saturday week. wa listened to with
much attention. 1t would have been
CURSED by greenbackers a year ago as
a ''sell out" but to US Its tone Is more
reasonable than were the declaration
of his party then. Many of the evils
he complains of deserve condemnation
and it is sincerely to be hoped that nc
ignrs fatuus will lead persons who de
sire financial reforms off into direct o.
indirect support of the syndicate party
in the politics OF this country.
