GREENBACK REMEDY FOR FINANCIAL ILLS.
We, the despised Greenbackers. offered a
remedy for ali this which no rejecting, keen
slghted business man will now say would
not nave bsen etfec ual. Myself in Congress
more than fifteen years ago prop ysed that in
stead or Issuing a United States bond which
Woulu DC held by capitalists only, and Tor the
purpose of securing a bank currency only,
congress should make an interconvertible
Dohd AT low rate of interest to he issued by
lhe Government, so that any man might in
vest IN IL inste Nj Of placing his money In saw
IN, 3 banks or trust companies to be loaned
out on margins on killing stocks, aud III IN 10 It
vwnen he called for IT. that bond bearing
three and slXty-dvc one-hundrcdths per cent.
ii.teres' 20 be presented by the holder at any
Tune TO tie treasury, and lie al nuers to be
lssue1 Tor it, aud thus the interest to mat
amount of the National cebt accrues to the
government instead of beirg paid l,y 1t from
tne tahes OF tho people. And then when a.
OF ior bond was desired by the in 3tor ne
should be issued b. the Government, and in
tereSt thereon begin.
Every uLQnccr knows that IL is the odd fifty

The time has come when the greenback is
sustained by the supreme Court as Co S l.
tutional currency against the opinions OF tho
puiu attorneys OF every hnancier in the couu-
