Wc noticed a communication in your last
issue on finances. The greenback, though
eo much desplsed,not a legal tender, is near
ly on a par with cold. Wo would like to
know if the greenback has over been worth
less than a dollar? has It not always paid a
dollar worth of debts? Can anyone prove
that it has depreciated? We would liko to'
know if there is money enough in circula
tion when wo liavo but $9.55 per capita?
We would like to know how many of your

Wo hear much of basinir our ereenbacks on

upon? If our national money be based on

how can we liavo an irredeemable currency?
Would it not be the same as our bonds?
Has tho author of the communication taken

Tax Collectors'
The Commissioners have appointed the
loiiuwuig iwrsous as collectors oi tue uouniy
Tax, fori 878 i
Towamcnsing, Joeiah Harpel ; Lower
Towaincnsing, John Strohlj East Penn,
to moneyed monopoly, of unequal taxation,
of exemption of classes, of high roles of In
terest and of remorseless contraction, which
has destroyed every cntorprlse that gave
employment to labor. Its present hold up
'on federal power was secured by fraud, jicr
jury and forgery. Its, laws are unjust and
lis practices are Immoral. They distress
the peoplo nnd destroy their substance.
Tho only remedy for these evils is entire
change of policy and tho dethronement of
thoso in power; ond wo
Resolve, That further contraction of the
volume of the United States legal tendcr'i
notes is unwise ond unnecessary. They
should bo received for customs duties ond
reissued ns fast as rccciYcd. Gold, silver,
and United States legal tender notes at par
therewith, are a just basis for paper circu
lation. A close connection of tho Federal
Government with tho business interests of
tho people through National banks tends to
monopoly and centralization, but in chang
ing tho system, uniformity of notes, security
of the polo-holders ond protection of the
capital invested should bo provided for.
Treasury notes issued In exchanges for bonds
bearing a low rate of Interest is tho best
form in which tho credit of the Government
can bo given to jiaiicr currency. Labor nnd
capitalhnve equal demands upon and equal
responsibilities to law. Commerce nnd
manufactures should be encouraged, so that
sieany employment and lair Wuges may be
yielded to labor, whilst safety of investment
ami moderate return for its use belong to
capital. Violence or breeches of order in
support of the real or supposed rights of
uuiicr snouiu oe promptly suppressed by the
ouuiig urm ui ine law.

minous twu irom one aouar ana twenty
fivo cents to seventy-fivo cents per ton. and
upon iron, steel, wood, metals, naner. elnsa.
leather, and all manufactures of each of
them, ten per cent., struck a fatal blow at

Tho public lands are the common nroncr.
ty Of tho people, and they should not be
soiu to speculators nor granted to railroads
or other corporations, but should be reserved
as homesteads for actual settlers.
Our public debt should be held at linme.
and tho bonds representing it ought to bo of

Tho republican party, controlling the leg'
isiation oi me Btalc, has rcluscd to execute
many pf the reforms of the new constitution.
Among other things it has neglected and re
fused to compel tho acceptance of all its
provisions by the corporations of the State;
to prevent undue and unreasonable dis-
crimination in charges for transportation of
ircignv anu passengers, ana, without abate
ment or drawback to any, to givo to all
equal means for transporting the raw mate
rial of the Staloin such manner and to such
points as they may prefer; mid to publish,
m good faith, monthly statements of where
the money of the people was kept.
The republican party creates new offices
and adds enormous perquisites to others,
and fills them with favorites whoso chief
duty it is to manago its political machinery.
