the National Greenback party will defeat
both the old parties next year, and that
once it gets the power it will retire the
National bank notes, and replace them
with greenbaCks. ..
Your correspondent once asked Wen.
dell Phillips if he thought the hard mon.
ey editors and Congressman were knaves3
His reply was: 1T is charitable to sup
pose that they are fools"
The course they are adopting in regard
to the issue raised by the president con-
vinces me that the element of knavery
predominates over that of folly. They
are displaying the wisdom of the serpent,
without the innocence ofthe dove, in their
efforts to suppress discussion and stop agi-
tation on this great question. They do
this because they well know that their only
hope of success, in their infamous but dar.
ing schemes, lie in keeping the people ig-
norant of their principles and purposes,
until by stealth the power of the people to
right their wrongs by the ballot shall be
stolen from them. THIS is all that Sena-
tor Ingalls, resolution, "That in the
opinion Of the senate the volume OF
United States notes shall be reduced, I"
signifies" This IS what Congressman
Fort means, by the resolution which he
offered in the house.
That any attempt to withdraw, or to
change the legal status of any Of the pa
per money issued by the United states,
or to reopen by legislation, currency ques-
ti1ns that have been settled by decisions
of the supreme court, and approved by the
people, would be injudicious and mis-
chieyOus. The milk in this cocoa.nut
was fully revealed to your correspondent
by Senator Ingalls, in conversation held
year and half ago. In answer to the
question, "Will the GreenbaCkers give
you republicans much trouble in Kansas
this YEAR," he said:
"No; for the very good reason that we
shall yield them all we ask for in our
platform, otherwise they would probably
defeat us.
The New York Tribune acknowledges
that it is the fear of defeat that keeps the
republican congressman from endorsing
the policy of the administration. The
Washington Post, representative Jour.
nal Of the southern Bourbon and northern
hard money element of the democratic
party, warns its friends IN congress, that
they must not support any measure look.
