 power to issue or ir any way con trol the currency ot the country, and think that National Bank eur rency should be retired and Treas urv Notes substituted for them, so that they will in no way be con- trolled by the banks except as oth- CT money l am not opposed to a paper currency. but l think 1t should be issued by the Gevern- ment and should be convertible on demand. The gentleman insists that under Che legrl tender decis' ions, the Government can make better money of irredeemablc pa per than of gold aud silver. and as. scrts that all it rants is the fiat of the Government. To my mind this is a most remarkable utter anee so utterly untenable that 1t needs no argument at my hands. He loses sight of the fact that we want money for other purposes than the payment of debts. We need if topurchase the necessities oi fife. Now under these decisions the Government nay make pager a le- gal tender in the payment of all debts but i, is powerlesS to give 1t purchasiag power. The treasury notes of to- day have always been legal tender and yet they never had the ability 10 buy as much as i gold and silver until resumption The legal tender qualities nercr i added one whit of value to them because the Bank notes not legal tender were worth at all times just what they were. Make them con vertible and the people knowing this will continue to use them with out demanding payment Ill com The Banks are powerless to depre- ciatc them, because if the coin Is preferred it can be had without loss.
 The charge that tn. two old par ties are the same IS without fouu' dation and comes in bad gra"s from the representative of party that has fused with both. Tn, Democratic party is the known op ponent of the Republican party
 and never fuses with it. If the, are both the same and beth cor rupt why is it that the party of my friend here will fuse with Republl
 cans iu the South and with Demo cratS in the north
 The Democratic party has jns , come and before the frs
 Congress assemblies the eentlema' is here crying Revolution, and mak ing a great deal of unjust and un

 If you want an economies Greenback party responsible to the utteranccs and actions of Mi , Butler, it's candidate for Presidcn last year, 1t would be found cn dorsing MT. Arthur. Mr. BuiIe who made his race as an anti-mO nopolist and the speciai champion of the laboring classes is said t I be interested in these great corpo

 lands under the unauthorized or
