In the matter Of finance there is nothing to hope from
the Republican party any moro than from the Demo
cratic party The bankers and capitalists of both
parties uniting together have controlled for twenty
years the financial legislation Of the Nation And the
result What have just seen With money enough

GREENBACK REMEDY FOR FINANCIAL Ills
We the dcsplsed Greenbackers, offered remedy for
all this which no rejecting kcen-sightcd business man
will now say would not have been enectual Myself
in Congress more THAI fifteen years ago proposed that
instead OF issuing a United States bond which would be
held ny capitalists only and for the purpose OF securing
bank currency only, Congress should make an hter,
convertible bond at low rate of interest 10 be issued
by the Government, that any man might invest IN IL
instead of placing his money in savings banks or trust
companlcs to he loaned ont margins on ktng
stocks and then lost when he aled for it That bond
bearing three and ~xtyve hundredths per cent in
erest To be by the holder at any time to the
treasury and egacnders to be issued for It and thus
the interest to that amount OF the National deb a'cres
to the Government instead of being paid by it from the
taxes of the people. And then when another bond
was desired by the investor. should be issued by
the Government and interest thereon begin.
Every Gnanccr knows that it is the odd fifty millions
Withdrawn or put ont that makes redundancy or
scarcity of circulating medium and is there
who dares say now that such bond would not nave
prevented the panic and dcsoalon to business through
which are passing
The time has come when the grccnback is sustained
by the Supreme Court ~ constitutional currency
against the opinions of the paid attorneys OF every
hndncicr OF the country The time wlil come II me
people of this country got the clutch of monopoly
Of it, currency oil its throat when such system of
finance As have -kc'chcd will give freedom to the IN
du-tra land business interests Of the country from the
terrible fluctuations which the people now suffer.

The PEOPLE THE GOVERNING CLASS.
What then is The duty Of The classes of men just
enumerated in the coming National election : They,
by numbers as well intelligence-for everybody
knows than anybody. Ought TO be the governing
classes under the theory OF constitution. They
stand in the same social business and other relations
to the class Of in the old parties who believe they
are OF right the governing class, and who in fact by
the control of party and other machinery, the gov
erning class as did fathers in the time of the
luton to the clergy the officials and OshOots of British
aristocracy who claim ed to be, and believed they
the governing classes.
