The Future OF the Greenback. Labor
Party.


The New York Times, which has So
often assured MS the Greenhack. Labor
party is dead beyond all possibility Of
resurrection, now comes out with the
question, lis Grcenhackism ,ieal?"
and in reply to its own query devotes
long article to demonstrating that SO far
from being dead tho Greenback- Labor
party is standing menace to old-time
political institutions.
Looking first At the political condi-
ton Of the South, the Times sees there
promising field for the growth and ex-
tensive development Of tho Greenhmck
movement. The disintegration Of the
Democratic party in the Southern States
is sure, according to the Times, to re.
suit in large accession 10 the Greenback-
Labor party, which has the advantage
of not being in any way connected with
the animosities Of the past that make the
Southern people resolutely refuse to have
ANYTHING to do with tho Republican
party. The Southerner who becomes
disgusted with Bourbonisn, and who
will on no account pass over to the Re
publican camp. will find in the Green
back-Lab party y middle ground on
which he can take his stand without ex.
posing himself to the charge Of heing
recreant to principle. The negro, too,
can stand beside him without reproach,
for as a lal,orer be Of all men is most
interested in the overthrow Of the vic
ions financial system that robs him Of
the fruit of his labor, and a species Of
robbery that he will he helping to per-
petnate AZ long Us he continues voting
with the Republican party. The Times,
in speaking Of the possibility Of this al
lance. says:
Its tho Gre6nhack- Labor party
constitution excludes, or may IN made
to exclude, the element Of race ,listinc-
ton, and, properly managed. it may he
made to secure the advantage Of negro
votes without the otlium ot such init
mate alliance with the negro AS liz in.
volvcd in direct Republican movement.
This class Of facts will unquestionably
have their weight in the South, where
financial ideas are dim enough ut best,
and where even intelligent and sincere
sound d-money men have been found work
ing heartily with The Greenhackers L
break down the Bourbon despntism.
But it is not alone in the South that
the Greenback- Labor party inspires thin
organ of tho money power with gray.
