hy Greenback men.
There are few dead weights rhat
have attached them selves TO us,
who seem lnvulnerable TO two facts
tuat men of common sense have
learned by experience:
First. Thnt the Democratic par.
~ would SET rs adiustible sails for
amy breeze that promises "pap' 10;
is long Starved politicians.
Second. That Greenbacli men OF
Republican anteccdcnts could not
be delivered to Democracy, after
the sale, By all the Carys and Din.
cans in the land.
1t II were proper to consider
the propriety of selling out to the
Democracy, why not receive a
proposition from the Republican
party, too?
What a nice show il would make
for the Grecnback men, In National
conference, to discuss the question
rs to which one Of the two'competng
agents of the corporation powers
the Grcenback party should be sold.
If the suggestions Of such men as
Duncan are to be considered,
why not call in Sirs Hayes, Sherman
Bayard & Co., too? They are all
the same stripe of cats.
II any man even whispers such an
Infamous prop osiuon, "shoot him
on the spot"
William G. Douglas numinates
Hayes as candidate for the Green
hackers in 1880. Blanlon Duncan
proposes an out right sale to the
supcrannuated Democracy.
Give these nice fellows the bel
tor inconsistency and outright
trcachery, and then give one a dead
head invitation ticket into the Re
publican and the other INTO til,
Democratic party,
Give the Grccnback party
"puke"and "purge," and lei II
get rid Of such excecme mt.

Conference suggestion,

We notice IN the National View
the following letter from our fellow
townsman DR.. j. W. Green. We
think ii well worth copying:
Editor Of the National Viev:
CHILMcorHE, Mo-, Dec. IS.
As you have received suggest.
ion from Mr.. Blanton Duncan for
tho coming Greenback Labor con.
ference, because he cannot 5e there,
let me offer another from another
one who cannot be with you on that
important OCCASION.
Blanlon's suggestion is for the
Hreenback party to sell out to the
Democracy, on condition that that
old party Of easy adjustibIes can be
induced to "return" to its attitude
OF a dozen years ago.
My suggestion is 10 "boot' every
man who offers such and similar
suggestions out of the conference, at
Il speed.rate of not less than 1000
miles an hour.
Let it be understood, now and
from this Time on, that such men
are our very worst enemies, and that
their Suggestions arc not ,debatablo

is not one acre producing wheat,
corn, rye, barley, or the endless
products of the soils but what is tri-
huary to 1t. All manufacturing,
all the industries of lands, forests,
seas, labor, and gains are subjects of
taxation, and all taxation, from the
hovel to the palace, all revenue,
from the match to the engine, from
the spices of India. the teas Of China
from the silks Of France tho vclvets
of Genoa, and the industries of
England, indeed, the commerce OF
the world, pay us tribute and make
the rcdcemng of the Grecnback.
Tho world never saw such a basis
for money-so solid, so certain, so
unmcasured, so invincible.
The groenback is the consumma.
of all cooperative forces
human energy, human intel
ect, and human labor have been
able to combine in Government to
secure safety. There is nothing be-
yond 1t.
1t IS the Cooperation of all, for
the benefit OF all. 1t is the only
form in which every element unites,
without the possibility OF escape,
to secure without the possibility Of
failure every bill bearing the signet
OF the nation as money. 1t is the
only Interchangeable evidence of value
that has over been adapted with uni
vcrsal success, and which has made
Its way INTO universal confidence
over all the other forms OF currency
ever adopted.
The nation is It's dispenser. The
nation has no private interest TO con-
oult. The welfare of the Whole is
its welfare. This money, filling all
the conditions Of credit, stability,
value, quantity, and duration, is now
attacked and to what end?
1t Is attacked by the money sha-
vcrs of Europe and the money-gam.'
blers in the United States.
TO kill the Greenbatk is to give
lifo to the national Bank Currency,
10 Bonds, to Exemption to Privilege.
The National Bank Currency can
have no existence without United
States Bonds. United States Bonds
to sustain tho Currency demanded,
required the payment ofannual in
tcrest, SOL, 100000. 1t requires the
loss in taxes OF s3O,OOO,OOO. Thus
1t requires that SS4,OO0,OOO shall
yearly be given to the privileged
class, to be collected from the pro-
ducing classes.
1t demands that the Government
shall give up the power of furnish
ing It's own people withits own mon.
ey, and transfer that power TO a
combination of individuals; that ii
shall abnegate power to bless, by
creating a power to subjugate ard
lyrannize over the people.
1t demands that the National
Debt shall be made immortal by
Bonds free from Taxes, that the
rich may have perpetual exempt
ions.
1t demands that Equally shall
give way to Aristocracy; that La
Dor shall become the slave of capi.
