Ed. CAitrioN Advocate : Much is said here
nnd thero iu reference to the action of the
Greenback County Convention, and as your
paper is open to communications from all
parties, permit me to say n word ill reference
to it. Tho candidates como in for their
share .of abuse. Sucl( however i the fatoof

f;atcs here end there wcro shouting out their
iive-rlte's na,mo nnd in order In prevent
tumble tlio .quiet parties subiniltcdjieneetho
ticket and work done. Such was tho greet!
manifested by somo of tho delegates that a
declaration of principles was deemed ofijo
consequence. One of tho delegates (and olie
of the staunclicst Greenback men in bs
County) urged tho adoption of a tct of reso
lutions scttig forth iu r. clear aljd cxpllpit
manner tho principles of tho Greenback men
of Carbon tjounty. But, no use, the Phila
delphia Platform was adopted. A platform
which no greenback man stands by, and ono
which not one-third of tho voters of lliis
county are familiarwitii. If we understand
the principles moving the new party, it is
this; The substitutionofGovcrninentmojiey
for National Bank Notes. Tho rcmonetiza
tion of silver making it equal to gold in
payment of all debts. Tho lepeal of the
Resumption act, opposed to tho contraction
policy, opposed lo tlio further issus of Bonds
of any class or rate, iu favor of electing pure
and, honest men to ollico, and in the honest
administration of the affairs in tho interest
of all rich anil poor. The attempt to laugh, to
scorn thoso who advocato such principles
will lint dishearten them. Tlio intelligent
voter of Carboii is a law abiding citizen, hd
vocates no conflict between labor and capi
tal, believes tllal both clio'iltd work together
in harmony, deprecates anythjiig likely to
antagonize their interests, hnd thero brc
thousands of good men, pur'B patriots, vho
havo stood by the good ship of Stato in fctohn
and calm who know and odvocate these
principles. Hendricks, Vooriiees, Ewing,
fhurinan, Blackburn, FoWler, Wallace.CUr
tin and hosts of others, and it is no secret
that tlio rank and file of tho Democratic
party to-day are opposed to tho present ac
cursed financial policy, and it is within tlio
power of tho leaders to-day, to lead this vast
majority of voters in tho cause of truth and
justice."
Judge Ryon of Schuylkill, candidate for
Congress, says : A greenback currency back
ed up by the wealth of tho nation. No pro
miso to pay, but an absolute money, made
equal with Gold and Silver, not a money
for the workingman, and gold at a premium
for the rich. An honest financial policy is
all that is nccessaiy to break tho present
deadlock.lo open willc tlio doors of industry,
set iu motion tho wheels of machinery, give
work to damps, bring bread to the hungry,
and peace to tlie family. Wipe out, and
forever forbid tiio issuing of any bonds of
any class or rale, by tlie uovcrnmeiit, there
by saving over ono hundred millions of dol
lars annually, which belongs, but is now
Liken away Irom industry. Anil wo believe
that tlie great mass of voters, who rallied to
tlie polls, at thojast Presidential clection,for
me purjioso ot jreeing a portion ot our lair
land, from military otiprcosion. nnd carpet
bag rule, will again, arise in their might,
aim but uod speed lo a set ol men, who will
free pi, as a people, from a financial oppres
sion, which is slowly, but surely dragging
us down to it despotism, oVct which none,
but a " inant ' could, and would rule.

canal from New York to theGulf of Mexico,
in order to reduce tho distance and add to
tho safety of our coastwise commerce; fifth,
tho improvement of all our gnat rivers, so
as to make their capacities equal to the com
mercial wants of tho near future."
The New York Host characterizes this as
"a niggardlv scheme," and does not believe
that the plan would give half tho tramps in
tbo country easy work and largo wages. It
advises the greenback organ todemaud$10,
000,000,000 in flat notes, and, in addition to
tho schemes mentioned, appropriations of
money to cut down tho Allegheny and
Rocky Mountains, so that coinmereo may
have free course between the East and Wot j
to drain tho great lakes, in order that the
land which they cover may be given to "the
homeless poori" to tunnel the Atlantic
Ocean, in order that tramps may bo able to
viiit Europe w ithout being forced to submit
to inconvenience a stowairay9 on ocean
steamship) nnd lo build railroads across llio
counliy frum cart to west and front north to
south, not further than una milo apart, In
order that monopolists may be pxterritinatcit.
If any of the money is left after this work is
dono it can bo distributed among the people
that they may buy excursion ticket oer
tho new Government railroad, and llius
make those lines profitable.

A lady on tho norlhside wishing to test
the merits of l)r. Bull's tough Syrup thought
it would never do tn ask tho druggist in tlie
name of "Bull." Why, dear me, she, could
n't say Bui! to save her lite, and called at
last on a neighbor woman for suggestions on
the matter. Dr. Cow's, Dr. Calf's, Dr. Buf
falo's aud Dr. Oxsn's Syrup were all men
tioned. The latter suited. "Yes, that will
do Dr. Oxen tho very tiling, the drug
gist will understand that." A walk of tu n
squares found lieratthecountcrofDr. II 's
store, when the following dialogue occurred:
" I wish a bottle of Dr. Oxen's Cough
Syrup."
" Dr. Oxen, Oxen, why, iham, I don't be
lieve I keep that. You mean Dr. Cox's
Hive Syrup, don't you ?"
' Oli, no, I mean, mean Dr. Oxen," and
then she seemed wrappeibin solcnin thought
for a moment, when a hi ight idea seemed to
beam forth. "Hasn't Dr. Oxen got a rela

" Oh, yen, yon mesiti Dr? Bull's Cough
