POLITICAL MENTION,
GEN. WEAVER is en-. a sed in Arkansas
through this month.
THE writing in the bond is butcher
knife in the bowels of the two old paltios.
GEN. B. ]. CFAMBERs is recovering and
will not be compelled to Withdraw from
the canvass, as was contemplated a week
or two ago.
THE Chicago Journal and the st. Louis
Globe, both stalwart Republican sheets,
confess there is no longer any Issues be-
tween the old parties.
THE silver law compels John Sherman
to coin two millions Of dollars month.
Neither party dare order that silver paid
out nor stop the coinage of silver.
The GREENBACK vote Of AlabaMa is
reported to be 10000, which reduces the
Democratic majority 10000. 1t will be
sometime yet before an efficient count
comes in.
THERE are more of laboc's products in
eighty-fve cents--what is called the bu'-
lion value of the standard silver dollar
than there was in ii hundred cents, gold
measure, in 1860.
MEN are educated to believe that gold
is the unnuctuating standard Of value
but do not see that gold is enhanced and
diminished in value by increasing or di'
minishing substitutes for it.
TIE power to put more hog into the
dollar or to take therefrom, is a robbel
power; any monetary system that will al
low the peoples money to be taken from
circulation by redemption, is robber tys
TEN.
W1rH all TIE "iuhation" Of silver pos
sible, il this country is made the dumping
ground for silver for the whole civilized
world there will be more hog in the dol
lar than there was in the gold dollar o
1860.
The bondhOlders demand that the coin
age OF silver be stopped, for they see clear
ly that the people are not going to bu,
bullion and coin two millions month
and pile up the coin and pay them intereS
on their bonds.
TIE three parties have presented thci
platforms and men to the public, and tn
great presidential campaign Of 1880 i
opened. 1t is the personal duty OF ever
man who intends to vote this fall to in
vestigate the issues of the hour.
No permanent prosperity will dawi
, yer the fair face of America until tn
financial questions are properly settled
and a system adopted that will put it ou
Of the power of banking and iundholdin
institutions to set the price on hogs, ha
or steers.
The Greenback party, and the Greer
back party alone demands that the coil
age of silver shall not be stopped, bl
made free, and that every silver dolli
the government owns shall be put in CT
culation at once by paying Oft the bont
coming due this year.
The coinage OF silver is restricted an
held boarded for no other purpose than
make the payment Of the public del
more difficult and the bonds more valuabl
This is what they call strengthening Il
public credit, and neither of the oil pa
ties dare attack the robber scheme.
WE want every man to think for hin
self, and use his own common sense. n
man shoald swallow the statement OF al
other man until he has Investigated IL
matter himselt-we mean statements
public Importance. We ask no man
come into the new party blindly. Fir
find out if there is anything to come for.
STEPHEN MAYBFyL addressed an il
mense concourse of people at Sacrament
last Saturday, and organized Greenbac
Labor club. The people there, as ever
where else, are waking up. "Votil
cattle" are becoming scarce and mo
scarce every year. Formerly, men vot
as they voted the year before, or as the
fathers: but nowadays, people are begi
ming to think.
In 1869 the bondholders' congress
clared that the bonds should be paid
coin. In 1870 they were made prefer
creditors by making certain the weig
and 6neness Of the dollar in which tn
were to be paid; in 1873 they demoDetiz
silver and declared they would have tn
pay in gold alone In 1875 they decar
that all payments should be made in 60
Every time they strengthened the pub
credit the banker grew richer and the p
pie grew poorer.

the persistent persecution waged so
