SAYS MORPHINE DOES NOT GIVE
PLEASURE.

In the October American Maya
zine appears a story of a woman
who was a morphine fend and then
saved herself. The story appears as
the second Of a series Of articles by
Peter Clark Macfarlane entitled
Those Who Have Come Back
showing how men and women, fail
ures or disgraced, at forty, have
taken new hold on life and are to-
day helpful members of the cOmmu-
nifty. Following is an extract of the
woman's own experience with NOR
phine:
morphine does not give pleasure.
1t creates pain. This is it's ultimate
and positive effect. The pleasure it
is supposed to produce is a mere
temporary form of anesthesia. The
exhilarating effect is the first thrill
of pain vibrating SO rapidly one does
not recognize it as such. Let that
be written in letters as tall as the
mountains. Morphine is a pain pro-
Queer. Morphine is a nerve destroy
er. It Weakens the will. 1t disrupts
the foundations of the mind"

that the party went to pieces.

study thoroughly the money ques-
ton and be fearless in their de-
mands for fair play. It's demands

actions, which in turn made possible
the use of large bills. [ recall dis
t1nctly that We used in ordinary
business the 7-30 and 1910 bonds.
and when we counted up the cash at
night would frequently find that in
the hurry Of business we had taken
in bond with the coupons cut off,
which made loss.
Money in Circulation.
We had at that time not
less than $500 per capita for
the people in the Northern
States. This is fair and truthful
statement Of our condition in the
North when the war closed. At tnat
time this currency was made to
serve the South as we'll as the North.
and this fact materially reduced the
real percapita amount. AS stated
before the debt Of the Nation
amounted to about three billions
January LIST, 1866, and about half
of it was used as currency among
the people.
Destroying the Money.
Without warning Congress con-
Verted over twelve hundred mil
lions OF this interest bearing cur
rency into 500 bonds bearing six
per cent interest, payable in gold.
and sold them abroad This act
brought financial trouble all over
the land. But it did not end here.
the Secretary of the Treasury was
authorized to sell bonds and buy
legal tender paper money and burn
up. an average of 5 millions ner
month. After 80 millions of these
greenbacks had been burned, Con-
gress was compelled to put a stop
to it. In 1875 this same Secretary
OF the Treasury issued 18 millions in
bonds to buy silver to retire the
fractional currency then in use.
with S52 per capita in 1864, there
were 52O failures, amounting to 9
millions. In 1885 with $3.50 per
capita there were II thousand fail
ures aggregating 267 millions, This
was the result of contraction. In
1856, our bonds were payable in
lawful money.
Changing the Contract to Profit the
Bankers and Bcndholders.
In 1859, the contract was changed
and these debts were all made
payable in coin. In 1873 the
coinage of the silver dollar was
suspended and in 1875 demone-
tized, which made them all payable
in gold. After all this plundering
legislation l submit to the reader if
1t was not time for some one to head
revolt. The laws enacted by Con-
gress governing our financial system
from 1866 to 1876 has no parallel
in the history of the world. Other
nations have been plundered by
their rulers, but never has a people
been SO wantonly robbed, SO infa-
mously cheated of their hard earn
lngs under the disguise of states
before.
Greenback Platform.
The platform of the Greenback
Party in 1876, was rather brief
and delt with conditions at that
time. print it in full in order
to refute the SANDER and ridi-
Guile that has been heaped upon
it. Instead of being a reckless de-
mand for fiat money to be given
free to the people as fast as printing
presses could turn them out, this
document will be found a sensible,
statement of facts and
sound and safe remedy for existing
needs, not only then but at the pres
9nt time.

to save my mercantile venture. In
1875 I went to New York expecting
to take over my business again and
give obligations for balances remain

customers had been talking to me
and everybody else that would listen

Peter Cooper and the Greenback.
In fact, this movement headed
by Mr.. Cooper was the introduction
and opening chapter Of what has since
come to be known as the "monev
question" His organization was
called the Greenback Party, partly
becausee it demanded legal tender
paper money, and partly in derision,
L might say at this point that this
party was killed absolutely by ridi-
Guile. Even now we hear of the
Greenback craze, and it's absurdi-
ties. Yet no man living or dead has
ever been able to stand before the

The Bonds.
A little over four hundred mil
lions of this debt was non-interest
bearing legal tender money, called
greenbacks, the balance consisted of
various issues of interest bearing
bonds and other obligations. Not a
single dollar Of this vast amount of
bonds had been paid for in gold or
silver, neither had any of it been
sold abroad. The entire debt had
been kept at home
Payable in Lawful Money.
Another fact to be remembered
is, that every dollar of it was
payable in the lawful money of
the United States, and this fact
was printed on evry bond Law
full money at that time was gold,
silver and legal tender paper money.
Get this point fixed firmly in your
