OPPOSED TO SHAM MONEY,

OPPOSED TO SHAM MONEY,
Buckeye vldeuc.
The Greenbacl party resists the poll
cy of sort of sham money, based on
the fiat of corrupt corporations, licensed
to swindle and rob the dead, the living,
and the unborn. Greenbackers oppose
perpetuation of the bonds created not
by the people, not for the people; but
by the bond thieves and for the bond
thieves.
THE YEAR TO PRETEND TO BE GREEN
HACKERS.
Milton (Il.) Beacon.
This is the year for the Democrats
Of Missouri to become Greenbackers
again. On presidential election years
they join hands with the eastern wing
of their party and are in favor of the
national banking system, the perpetua-
tion of the bonded debt and high taxes
to meet the interest, the destruction of
the legal tender paper money, and other
financial wickedness of the mOnopolistic
tax eaters. On other years. our Vests
and Buckners and Crittendens become
champions of the widest Greenback-
ism.
TRYING TO PERPETUATE THEMSELVES.
Altoona (Pa) Advance.
The national banks are moving to
perpetuate themselves. They rest on
the untaxed bonded debt. We are in
favor of the immediate abrOgatiOn of
the Internal system, which is at once a
robber of labor; gag on independence,
fraud on specie basis, and altogether
cancer which is eating out the vitals
of industry and covering the deceased
patient with mortgage plasters. The
congressman will stand highest in the
future who move uneringly now for
the immediate abolition.
AN INDIGNANT GREENBACKER.
"A. Band, Washington Correspondent.
| met the Hon. Geo. w. Ladd yester-
day, and he was in a state of righteous
wrath at the determined purpose of
the old parties to perpetuate the ma.
tional banks. "Why,' said he, "just
look at the committee on banking and
currency-nine for and two against
the banks" OF course, the bankers,
bank attorneys, and bank lobbyists in
congress, are doing all they can to per-
petuate that Infamous system of fraud,
and of course Speaker Keifer is their
representative, elected by them to serve
their purposes.
THEY ARE JUST AND RIGHT.
The IlhiCa IN. " I,hcan.
The principals of the National Green
back party are just and right, and, if
every professed advocate will adhere
to them, agitate and vote them, it will
not be long before grand revolution
will be made in our national political
economy.
RESTORE THE FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.
Lacleds (Mo) Sentinel.
Congressman Hazeltine has voiced a
strong public sentiment in his bill to
restore to the country the blessing of
the destroyed fractional currency. And
he has shown that he can be trusted
by his party, by the demand that such
currency shall be money, and "in no
sense promise to pay"
DON'T DARE KNOCK IT OFF.
willIamsport (Pa) Standard.
The old parties are walking around
the financial question like a boy around
a supposed bully with chip on his
shoulder. Neither one dare knock of
the chip.
tt CURSE OF BANK POWER.
youngstown. (O) New Star.
All history shows this to be the
highest power of sovereignty, which nc
free people can hand over to corpora,
tion and remain free. The men who
hold it in their hands hold the keys Of
war and peace. Kings, presidents
senates and courts are their tools. The
workshop, the school, the press, the al
tar, the fireside, and even the grave
are no sanctuary against their rapacity
They rob the unborn child, they teal
the rags from the helpless widow, and
to satisfy their greed, they snatch tht
crust from the furnishing wretch
Panics are their harvests. 1t is theil
delight to see hunger and misery
amongst the people when it fills theil
Golfers. Will the American congres!
be mad enough to stradde such a sys
TEN on our ignorant, trusting people
for all time to come.
THEY ARE IN EARNEST.
sisourney ta) Times
BY the persistent and upright effort
of the Greenbackers, all well meanin,
voters will have to confess that tn,
Greenbackers are in earnest. Some
while, perhaps, the indifference of tn
voters in general might discourage tn
workers in the cause, but then it woult
be well to take into consideration tina
the leaders Of both old parties hav
been fooling the people so often, an,
for so many years, that it has mad
them to distrust every new politica
move, and we cannot blame them PAL
ticularly. We say, however, keep cOur
age and continue to agitate. 1t vii
only be question of time when tn
majority of voters will fall into line.
