We are opposed 10 any currenc
system whereby one party TO cor

choice is denied to the other party q
the kind Of money he shall except

A VOICE FOR UNION.
Geo. Rogers Of Monmouth writes:
/ see in The JOURNAL Of March 22
under the heading Of bimetalism,
some very good suggestions, which
indicates, that the political ball has
been set to rolling. And believing.
that it should be kept moving, and
is velocity constantly Increasing,
until all true reform forces, OF the old
parties, as we'll as the new, are mar
tialed under one banner.
We beg the privilege tocontribute
few suggestions, TO our friends,
through your paper.
Usually there is but little signih-
;anc in name, which is practically
true, with all political organizations,
save the one fundamental principle
upon which all successful parties are
in 4 common cause, by a |
common name.
Would it not be a ludicrous spec
acle TO enter a military camp, that
.laimed good dicipline, and one por-
ion OF its followers summoned to roll
all by the base drum, another portion |
" the fife, and yet another by the
,ugle?
Would IL not be equally as ludi-
rous, for political reform party, to
laim a good organization, by retain
NJ their old party names and the new
mes To retain theirs? 1
All well diciplined military organi-
ations, have but one method, by
'hich its camp is summoned to roll
all, and it is equally true, if a politi-
al party attempts carry more than
ne name, it is not well organized.
There is but little In name; one
Ould be chosen Indicative of the prin-
iDle advocated. Should our friends
bject, or refuse TO abandon their old
arty name, and join the new, it
'ould be conclusive proof that they
lought more of their name than they
id OF their principles and they would {
Jt be Nformers. I
II any of them are inclined TO ac- I
pt free and unlimited coinage of c
lver as sufficient basis TO restore |
osperty to the American people we /
lvlse them to put up their political t
'ggles until they can find needed re- a
run in'money land and transportion. 4
