The passage Of the contraction act in
1866 WAS only preparatory measure to
iasten upon the people perpetual bond
ed debt and TO secure TO the consprators
the control Of the currency. The resolu-
tiOn which congress passed, expressing
its concurrence with the secretary Of the
treRsuEy In regard to contraction, stated
that Il should be done "wlth view TO as
early o resumption Of specie payments as
che business interests of the country
would permit"
AS part Of that policy we come now
TO consideration Of one Of the most
abominable pieces Of Legislation that ever
dsgraced the statute books Of any coun-
try At the instance Of the bankers and
capitalists themselves, the United States
treasury notes had been made a legal ten
der for all debts, public and private, ex-
cept interest on the public debt and
duties on imports The law which author
lied the notes said
Aud such United States notes shall he received
ulC same dS coin, nc their par value, tn payment
Of any loans that may be hereafter sold or negO-
tlAted by the secretary Of the treasury, and De
relssued from cline TO time, as the eXlgenCy OF
the public interests require
IL was also provided that:
There shall be- printed on the back of the
United States notes which shall be issued under
the provisions Of this act the following words.
The within Is n legal tender In payment Of all
debts, public and priUdtC and is Changeable Into
United States bonds bearing q per cent interest,
etc (See laws relating 10 loans and the currency,
p. l36 10 1897
On every one of these notes the above
inscription was printed and can yet be
seen on the back Of every greenback or
treasury note, living lie--a monument
Of duplicity--an insult to every soldier
and sailor who braved the dangers Of the
battlefield in defense Of his country.
In 1865 the republican platform said:
The national honor requires the payment Of the
public debt I'm the interest Of good faith To All itg
creditors nc home and abroad, not only Gcc0rd.

the meaning OF those words. These cap

gTesnbacks, which cost them only about
fifty cents on the dollar, for the bonds

In MemCriuin.

Mr.. Robert r. Green was born in
Kentucky Aug. 10th, 18l1-died a,
his home sever miles south east oil
this city the 26th Of Sept, 1890.
which made him at the time of his
death, seventy-nine years, one
month aud sixteen days old. Mr..
Green was in the Black Hawk war
in 1892 in north western Ill. and
south western Wis. About 1910 he
settled in Lafayette Co., near platt-
vile, Wis, while 1t was a territory.
In 1863 he made a home stead claim,
where his real home has been since,
although for several years he was in
mercantile business with Mr.. Fair
child Or Henry Rowe. He WIS
known to all as a kind hearted,
benevolent man, whose word was
taken without discount and was reg
arded as good as his note or bond.
In Wis. he had buried a wife and
several children, 1t was a peculiar
providence that kept this last entire
family Of wife and eight children
alive and together so they could be
with their husband and father in
his death and burial. The funeral
took place at the family home, Sun
day last at 100 o'clock a. m. and
was attended by a large concourse
of friends and citizens Of this city
and the regions OF his home. The
remains were inferred in Elk Point
cemetery. His sickness was of
some eight weeks duration. A post
mortcm examination revealed ali
ulcer or tumor of a ]caneerous nature
near the heart. He was resigned to
die. Dir. Jas. G. Comfy, the family
physician, by request Of the family,
performed the operation. Thus
another pioneer citizen has passed
from MS. leaving a vacancy in the
not easily filled; also in his
neighborhood, where for 81 years be
has lived and reared an honorable
and highly respected family of five
sons and three daughters. Elder
G. W. Freeman preached the funer-
