REPUBLICAN LEGISLATION On FINANCE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRESENT DIS
TREsSED STATE OF BUSINESS.
In the matter of finance there is moth
ing to hope from the Republican party,
any more than from the Democratic
party. The bankers and capitalists Of
both parties uniting together have con
trolled for twenty years the financial
legislation of the nation. And the re
suit? What have we just seen? With
money enough in the country for all its
wants; with no substantial drain from
abroad; with an accumulation of wealth
such as the world never has seen; with
q crop of corn and wheat almost UNI
touched, and another one about to be
garnered; with stock Of petrO-
leum already produced sufficient for
the consumption Of the world for
year; with nearly a years stock al
ready produced of cotton goods; with
moro than six months stock of woollen
good as they will average; with a pro-
ductiOn of iron that leaves its further
production impossible until greater con-
sumption becomes possible; with pro-
visions in such abundance that the
means Of sustaining life are cheaper
than before for fifty years; yet, because
of our financial system, in every class of
business, embarrassments and failures
TO an unhoard of extent, with banks
locking up their money in millions upon
millions, and allowing their customers,
who by our financial system have been
made dependent upon them, to be
ruined; the producing laborer goes about
the street unemployed; and the farmers

measure of value, is II drug in the

GREENBACR REMEDY FOR FINANCIAL
Ills.
We, the despised Greenbackers, offer
ed a remedy for all this which no reflect
ing, keen-sighted business man will now
say would not have been eflectual. My
self in Congress more than fifteen years
ago proposed that instead of issuing a
United States bond which would be
held by capitalists only, and for the pur-
pose of securing bank currency only,
Congress should make an inter-converti-
BILE bond at a low rate of interest, to be
issued by the government, so that any
man might invest in it instead of plac-
ing his money in savings banks or trust
companies to be loaned out on margins
on kiting stocks, and then lost when he
called for it. That bond bearing three
and siXty-live one-hundredths per cent.
interest, to be presented by the holder
at any time to the treasury, and legal
tenders to be issued for it, and thus the
interest to that amount of the national
debt accrues to the government instead
of being pal by IL from the taxes of the
people. And then when another bond
was desired by the investor, one should
be issued by the government, and in.
! terest thereon begin.
Every iinancier knows that II Is the
odd fifty millions withdrawn or put on
that makes redundancy or scarcity o
circulating medium; and is there a MAJ
who dares say now that such q bonC
would not have prevented the panic anC
desOlation to business through which W.
are now passing?
The time has come when the green
! back is sustained by the Supreme cour
as constitutional currency against m,
opinions of the paid attorneys of every
linancier of the country. The time vii
come, If the people of this country car
| get the clutch of monopoly of It's cur
rency of its throat, when such a system
of finance as have skctched will Civ,
| freedom TO the industrial and business
interests of the country from the terri
bic fluctuations which the people nov
suffer.
He then insists that no canal Shout,

THE PEOPLE GIT NOTHING FROM TIL
OLD PARTIES.
Experience, the best teacher, therefor
establishes the fact that commerce, tn
industries, the lahoring man, the anti
mOnopOlist, the grecnbacker, the farme
or other small producers, all of who's
interests are identical, can get or hop
nothing from either or both the prescn
organized parties.
The Republican party is bound han
and foot to capitalized monopoly.
The Democratic party is governed /
its conventions by u combination of
solid South, from whence no laborin
man, white or black, is delegate, an
whore the aristocracy OF capital alone
heard, and the political machine corruI
tons OF substantially single State {
the North, which Cunloderacy dominate
its platform and dominates its cand
dates and holds them firmly In its gri
, If elected.
THE PEOPLE THE GOVERNING CLASS.

men just enumerated in the comm
National election? They, by number
