soldiers and sailors could live on gratitude
alone.
By the answer of Secretary Sherman of
June 10, 1880, to the senate resolution of
inquiry, it appears that the government
paid the soldiers in green backs
during the war of the rebellion ST. ,249, $40,
1876. The total interest paid in gold on
the public debt from July l, 1851. to June
| 80, 1869, was 81, ,S09, ,301 ,4S5.19. The SOL
dier has been taxed to pay this in
terest while the bondholder has gone free.
During the present congress it has been
| impossible to induce the committees to re-
port a single bill to remedy existing evils.
The important committees of the house are
| so constituted, and the despotic rules of
that body SO interpreted as to reder relief
impossible. Under these rules the speaker
ia as much the dictator of the country az
though be were an emperor and ruling in
the most despotic government on the
globe.
One of the grand missions of our parts
is to Danish forever from American politely
| that deplorable spirit of sectional hatred,
which, for base pnrposes, has been fostered
by the leaders of the old parties. This has
greatly deceived aud embittered the pub
lie mind, both north and south.
Our civilization demands new party,
dedicated to the persuits of peace, and
which will not allow the war issues ever to
be reopened, and will render the military
strictly subservient to the civil power. The
war is over, and the sweet voice of peace,
long neglected; calls us to worship at her
alters; let US crowd her temples with will
ling votar.es. Let us have free ballot,
fair coun and equal rights for all class
es-for the laboring man in northern man
ufactories, mines and workshops, and for
the struggling poor, both white and black
in the cotton fields of the south,
l most earnestly and solemnly invoke
united action Of all Industrial classes, ir-
respective of party, that we may make q
manly struggle for the Independence of la
Dor, and to reestablish in the administra-
tion of public affairs the old time Democ-
racy of Jefferson and jackson, and the pure
Republscanism of Abraham Lincold and
Thaddeus Stevens.
In consequence Of the great avenues to
public opinion-the press, the bar and the
pulpit-being mainly under the control of
the enemies of our movement, your conven-
tion thought proper to request its candi-
| dates to visit the various sections of the
union and talk to the people. 1t is my in
tention to comply with this request to the
extent of MY ability.
And now, eschewing all violence, and
tumult, as unworthy of the cause we rep
resent, and relying upon divine Provi-
dence and the justice Of our cause, let us
60 forth in the great struggle for human
rights.
With high regard / am
Your obedieLt servant,

Who Wonders!


That the two old parties are surprised
at the result in Maine is not surprise to
Greenbackers.
Both Democrats and Republicans had
been taught by their party organs and
speakers that the Greenback party was
dead, buried, and annihilated. This de.
claration had been repeated 80 often, and
made in such seriousness that even the liars
themselves we're deceived by their own
falsehoods.
All this time every intelligent reading
and thinking Greenbacker knew that the
movement in which be was engaged was
never in a more promising and hopeful
condition. There never Was time when
the principles Of the .Greenbsck party
we're 80 firmly rooted, or when sccessions
TO it's ranks we're 90 numerous and rapid.
Its grow tn had been steady, healthy, and
perfectly normal, and its final triumph is
only q question Of time. and that time is
not so far distant as a majority of iss own
adhersnts imagine. Fearing that its at
trsctive features would draw from the old
parties Il has been branded dead. II has
been treated to gall and vinegar and
crowned with thorns BY the Pilates Of Re-
publicsnism, and betrayed BY the Judases
Of Democracy. II was supposed to be
buried in ,he tomb Of silence, behind con-
grsssioLai gsg-bsrred doors. and guards sci
10 prevent its escape. All reference to il
has been ignored. except to deny Its pres
ent or future existence. And thus IL put
forth its hand, grasped the executive scep-
trs Of Maine, and stripped from the brow
Of the PINNED knight the laurels he had
worn so long. Who wonders that they
Are amazed?

The Republicans have been fighting the
Democrats, and have got licked by the
"dead" rag baby. They have made all
they can make from the Estate steal' and
rebel brigadiers. They have got to aban-
don the November fight or discuss the
financial question. They must explain to
the people why the silver dollar won't buy
as much bond as the gold dollar, or throw
up the sponge. 1t is the burning prin-
ciples of the Greenback doctrine In mems
souls that have made Mr.. Blaine a sore
headed man. He has got to change his
base or "bust." He has got to defend the
financial record of the Republican party,
and foreshadow its future financial policy,
or let the November election 60 by default
He will not belittle himself again by re-
peating his personal attack upon The Green
back candidate for Congress in the second
district, for he has found out by this time
that that gun burst st the breach. If Mr.
Blaine comes before the people and ex-
plains how much hog he proposes to put
in a dollar, and why the banks should con.
troll the volume of money, he will get a
candid hearing, and his arguments will
have all the weight they are worth, but
will be put through the riddling seive OF
common sense. The Republicans have ut
terly failed to draw the Greenbackers of
upon old dead and gone issues Now they
have got to discuss the financial question
or abandon the State.

most marked character.
Fancy work is in the hands Of Mrs. D. +.
Boulware and Miss Katie, whose equals are not
to he found in the west, as the work of their
pupils IN all the branches Of bead, shell, wax,
feather and tapestry work will most abundantly
testify.
Elocution. now quite popular brsnch, has
been taught the past year by Pref. Trueblood
and Miss Bobbitt, both of whom are distinguish
ed in this section. The progress OF this class
has been very gratifying.
Drawing and painting constitute the school
over which Miss Sue Alexander presides. There
has. this year. been growing interest in these
accomplishments. While the pupil $ work has not
shown the careful touches OF masters hand;
it has been quite credItable. both to teacher and
pupils.
Music is. by the people. felt to bs the art OF

more than all the rest. In the seminary this
general interest is fully responded to by the
superior provisions which are made for the
teaching of music In ali of Its various branches.
