Editor CLIMAX:
The people have at last gotten their

tenn. They know it needs fixing. and
they know it devolves upon them to

but il not there VIII be four more years

as they have never been before and Will
never give up the fight until they have
delivered themselves from bondage. The
money question is in every respect the
most vital and far reaching OF any ques-
ton that people ever had to deal with,

We now notify the advocates of gold
standard that it cannot be decided by
lordly defamation, however well round
ed and eloquent the periods may be. 1t
cannot be settled by conteraptuous cpl
thets, by sneering allusions to "the silver
craze" ''cheap money fanatics" and
fifty cent dollars" 1t can not be dis
missed by stigmatizing it as swindle,
or by wholesale denunciations of
everybody who advocates "tbe free coin
age of silver" The man who employs
any of these lines of argument, simply
proves himself lacking in that mental
equipment, which is the prime requisite
for an intelligent discussion OF the sub
ject. And we now warn the advocates
of gold, that if they have no better stock
in trade as argument, they must admit
thar their cause is unjust and will most
certainly suffer defeat from an outraged
and indignant people o.

Huntington, chief of the division of loans

In view of the great number of requests for

Paper Money.
The first paper money ever issued by the
government of the United States was au-
thorized by the acts of July II and Aug
5, 1861 Tho notes issued We're called "de-
mand notes. because they were payable
on demand at certain designated subtreas-
urics. They were receivable for all public
dues, and the secretary was authorized TO
reissue them when received; but the time
within which such reissues might be made
was limited TO Dec 81, 1862.
The amount authorized by these acts
was $50, 900, 600. An additional issue of
so, 900, 600 was authorized by the act Of
Feb. 12, 1862, and there were reissues
amounting to $50, 900. The demand notes
were paid in gold when presented for re-
demption, and they were received for all
public dues, AMI these two qualities pro-
vented their depreciation.
All other United States notes were de-
preciated in value from 1862 until the re-
sumption of specie payments. The act of
Feb. %, 1862, provided for the substitu-
ton of United States notes In place of the
demand notes, and they We're therefore
Cancelled when received. By July l, 1863,
all except SO, 20, 900 had been retired, and
nearly SO, 600, 900 of this small remainder
was Cancelled during the next fiscal year.
These notes were not legal tender when
first issued, but they were afterward made
SO by the act of March II, 1869.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: At a meet
ing of our Post the question of erecting a
suitable monument in memory of our dead
comrades of this Post, and to be used for a
similar purpose by the living members when
they too shall have answered here for the
last time, was discussed, and your humble
servant directed to open up correspondence
with dealers with view to aseertaining
cost of same, modelled after the monuments
marking location of Illinois troops at Chieka-
maugas Thinking that you might see fit to
publish this note, and that it might per-
chance catch the eye of some cOmrade en-
gagged in that line, came to the conclusion
to address myself to you first. The trustees
of our cemetery have offered us good loea-
tion for the proposed monument free of all
cost. Our Post is but small so far as num-
bers go, but the boys have yet few grains
of that great essential sand left in their
rheumatic bones, and are determined to
"hold the fort till the last heartbeat shall
sound flights out" Anumber of them who
are old vets and saw three, and some of
them four years. service, never yet got cent
in the way of a pension, yet they keep in
line Just the same rs of old, and will break
ranks only at the last roll-call, when they
shall be called to cross the last river into,
let us hope, Gods country" Should some
comrade see this who is able to offer u few
pointers, we shall be thankful for them.
We stand by you on the Pension question.
Keep your guns hot, and never cease firing
until the last opponent to pension for every
honorably-discharge Union soldier has been
knocked into silence. Stick to your text;
So a month for every one that served 90 days
or more in the army of Uncle Sam.
