The Greenback.

There is little doubt in the minds of
those who have carefully watched the
course of the money owners during the
past six months that the present finan-
cial conspiracy aims at something far
beyond the elimination of silver as
moneyed metal. 1t seeks nothing less
than the destruction of legal tender
paper money, and to this end will bend
all its powers in the coming conflict.
Legal tender paper money has since
its introduction been the bane
of the moneyed aristocracy, be-
cause it is essentially the money
of the people, and carries on its
face legend backed up by the
decisions of the court, that money is
the creation of law. 1t is this hated
evidence of the Sovereignty of the peo-
pie, when driven to self protection, that
these conspirators are now seeking to
destroy. 1t Is an open secret here that
such Is the case, and the experts in the
treasury department are now engaged
