Labor -Reform Greenbackers in
the Court House, Speeches of
Eev. Mr, Doyle and Mr. C. C,
North, on Monday Evening,
September 2, 1878.
On Monday evening the main court
room was well filie l by tvn audience
-f Dei:!.:iiii3 ;Uid ilepubheans, to
to hear 1W. Mr. Doyle, a candidate
for Legislative honors in Hunting
don eorrctv, and Mr. C. C. Iwith, a
caudidate for Congress, deliver green
back speeches. A number of labor
Reforru Greenliackers were also pres
ent, and the meeting was directly un
der their management.
Mr. Cnllen, from Patterson, of
whom it is said, " He has Legislative
aspirations as a Greenbacker," called
the meeting to order. He delivered
a speech. He said the object of the
meeting is, or was, to bring the
Greenback party before the people,
so that they may find out what clogs
the wheels of government. "We want
to find out what is wrong. In the
name of God let us make it right
That is what we are here for, to find
out what is wrong.
W. F. Snyder was elected Chair
man, and TV. H. Egolf and Mr. Shin
del, Secretaries.
A number of Vice Presidents were
elected, after which Rev. Mr. Doyle
was introduced by the President
He is a tall, stoutly-built man, with
dark hair, worn long and turned un
der, and moustache and goatee not
an imperial-a swarthy skin, and a
weak nose. He said that he came
here to present the cause and the cure
of our troubles. The country is full
of suffering; it should not be eo.
Each individual is a sovereign, but
political rule, financial rule, is ruining
the country. The laborer is a wan
derer. What is the cause ! There is
a cure. You should not rest till you
find the cause and seek the remedy.
We have liberty, but where is the
happiness T
What a fine chance the preacher
had to remind his hearers that the
Republican party gave him a clear
title as a sovereign, which title was
6liadowed all the while that the slave
holder had a foothold in this govern
ment with the practical application of
the doctrine that "capital should own
its labor." He might have added
that in part not in whole, the pres
ent state of affairs were brought
about by the war that crushed the
men who shadowed his title as a sov
ereign and threateued him with the
crack of the master's whip, and the
shackles of the slave. He might
have told that no circumstances or
or condition in life gives happiness;
that happiness is a condition of the
mind which external circumstances
have little to do with i but he missed
telling all 6uch regular conclusions
to his jerky remarks, and continued
by declaring that he had not come to
make a speech ; he came to hear one
made. The cause of the trouble is
false doctrine, false teachers ; those
are the causes of the troubles. The
management of the nation is in the
hands of people who have belied
their trust We must have reform
ation. He is the nominee of the
Labor-Reform Greenback party for
Legislature. He was objected to by
some people who thought that as a
preacher he should not take an active
rnrt in politics. Daring tho war he
Vus good enough for the Republi
cans. Here, again, the Reverend
eentleman is at fault, he rot having
tae discrimination to see that what
Republicans commended in him
was not politics, but his efforts for
the common rights of all, for his work,
that all men shall have equal rights
liefore the law; and now Repub
licans believe that he is working in a ;
way tUt Trill bring into a stata of
repudiation the yery money that
helped to artj through the mea
sure that secure the common riehU
of J1 before the law. Hecotdd not
tefl how it is in this county, but
where he came from, can diddles were
bought, and bought their nomina
tion, but there is not enough money
made to buy the preachers. Since
the days of Jesus no euch liberty has
been preached as that which is advo
cated by the party which he belongs
to. He talked about tramps and the
commune, and said the cry of th
commune was only made by the men
who have no principle to advocate.
We must elevate the plain of reform.
Legislate a righteous law; that is
what he contemplates, but he did not
tell what the law should be. He will
astonish the natives when he geU to
the Legislature.
At the close of his speech an ex-
in
ovuuve i-uuiuuikew oi seven was ap
pointed to manage the Greenback
movement till the approaching Green-
oacK convention provides a different
management
Un motion a county convention
was called to meet in two weeks from
that day. Mr. Sny ler, from Port
uoyal, arose and wmhed to kuow
whether thero were Greenbackers in
every town shin in the ninnrv frnm
' lVfitii a full ...,,.,..... i
u 1,111 wiitcuuuu Itt 11 UC Uu-
tiined, but no one could answer his
inquiry.
An amendment was offered that an
election for delegates to hold a cbun
i.j cuuvuiiuuD oe neia on Saturday a
etk. A vote was taken on "the
amendment but no Vote was taken
on the original motion.
The President requested Green
backers to remain after the adjourn
ment of the meeting, for consulta
tion, after which request Mr. C. C
North was introduced.
He opened by referring to a re
union at his father's house on the last
night of the year 1870, when the
great fire devastated a larce portion
j of this town, and dwelt on the terri
ble alarm of fire ! fire ! He came to
sound the alarm of a financial fire
that is ragirijr in this country, which
is more terrible than the fire in a
town, because it bears oppressively
on labor. He wanted to know if
either Republicans or Democrats had
told the reason of the tramping of
the people why so many people of
all kinds are on the road, and if they
had been so told, what is the remedy t
J-Live you been told why farmers are
fleeing to the We;t ! why merchants
nave been selling goods for less than
they cost f Has anv one given
remedy for such financial fire ? It is
not true that it is over-priduction ;
an l while on the over-production
point he dove-tailed Don Cameron
into the speech, but that is not so
hard to account for, when one con
siders that he and Mr. Speer have a
littie game on hand in which the Rev
crend Mr, Dovle is to figure when he
gets to Harrisburg, as an advocate of
Mr. Speer for United States Senator,
and he thought a thrust at Don Cam
eron might be in order, because he
also is said to be a candidate for
Uni ted States Senator. Cameron has
been a ghost to the Democracy for a
long time, and lie seems to be a ghost
to the preacher and Mr. North, but
we guess it is on account of Mr.
Speer. He might hove here spoken
of Mr. Speer's grabbing proclivities
as illustrate i in the talari grab.
He compliments! that venera
ble man, Mr. Tildeu, but forgot to
say that the old man's barrel of coin
that was emptied in Oregon for elec
tors should be filled with greenbacks.
That was a point he missed. From
Tilden he went to President Hayes,
and declared him as put into otlice
by fraud He did not tell that the
laws of Louisiana provide for the
throwing out of all votes cast in dis
tricts wuere voters have been intimi
dated. He did not tell that General
Sheridan declares that thousands of
people have been killed in Louisiana
to intimidate others, to get Republi
can voters out of the way. He didn't
quote Sheridan or any other reliable
person on the question of frauds
from an intimidation stand-point
After the question of the Hayes
fraud, he presented a list of failures
in business in the country, and said
the Greenbackers present nothing but
the truth, and the truth is in tue in
terest of every one, but he did not
add a scrap of histoiical truth by tell
ing that an over-issue of greenbacks
will result in a state of oarrency such
as tbat which overtook the Continental
money id 1781, when one cent would
buy cue dollar of paper money, mod
then the list of failures included almost
every one, and tbat teas of thousands
of people hurried froai tbe populous
districts to the West, on foot, and there
made new honies, where tbete were
scarcely any expenses, and where they
could boe a living out of tbe grouud.
Mr. North is either not read in tbe
events of tbat currency, or be would
not tell it ; certain it is, be said noth
ing about it, and yet it would have
been so to tbe point to illustrate tbe
list of failures tbat overtake an irre
deemable currency, when its day has
been run. He talked of tbe taxes, but
he forgot to say tbat tbe property of
tbe State pays 87 per cent of tbe State
and local taxes, sod tbat the United
States bonds are paid by coin that is
secured mainly from customs. (Ie did
talk about the consumer having to pay
for the things on wbicb customs are
collected, but there again be failed
to tell that tbe property-holder is a
larger consumer, io a majority of canes,
than tbe man who owns no property.
He referred to tbe tobacco tax, and
favored a tariff, but of wbat kind be
did not particularize. He declared
labor to be tbe wealth of tbe nation,
and says tbat it should bave a cheaper
money, "or currency. He criticised
Sberniau's late speech. Ue raid it is
not repudiation to advocate the pay
roent of tbe bonds in greenbacks ; bat
bere, again, be failed to inform bis bear
ers that to throw such an amount of
currency upon tbe country, unfunded,
would render its redemption in coin so
uncertain tbat tbe confidence in it
would be lost, and tbat it would be
come so cheap tbat it would be worth
no more than past irredeemable cur
rency, and, to prove that, he might bare
cited the old system of State Ranks,
tbat bad a coin basis, bnt which, under
acts of Legislatures, were allowed to
issue su3b amounts that every ten or
a dozen years wbeo their paper was
offered for redemption tbey closed their
doors, and tbe notes were worthless ;
no one would take tbem after tbe doors
of tbe bank were shut against tbem,
and that Was repudiation. He did not
tell tbat the country wnuld repudiate
tbe greenbacks once it believes that tbey
wilt never be redeemed in coin. He
assailed tbe resumption act, and did
not tell tbat tbe premium on geld is
only one half of a cent aow. He de
clared tbat tbe greenback is not irre
deemable when it pays a debt. ne
spoke of bow it took, daring war times,
$2.85 of greenback currency to buy a
dollar of gold, but failed to tell that it
was because of a doubt of tbe redemp
tion of the greenback in coin tbat
caused it to depreciate in value. He
introduced tbe price of corn and wheat
of tbat time, aod stated that their
price did not correspond witb tbe things
measured by tbe depreciated greenback,
but, alas! be forgot to tell tbe truth
tbat the corn and wheat were commod
ities that bave a value in tbe maikets
of tbe world, and tbat the greenback
bas no euch value to this day. He
condemned tbe act of Congress that de
clared tbat that tbe U. S. bonds shall be
paid in coin. He failed to teil tbat
such acts of Congress were necessary,
for under the solid front of the Demo
cratic members of tbe Supreme Court
an effort was made to render the green
back woithlesa by declaring it Uncon
stitutional, irredeemable currency, and
under such vigorous blows it was rap
idly sinking to tbe condition of a repu
diated currency. Tbe act of Congress
was intended to teil to the world tbat
tbe people who called tbe greenback
into existence to save tbe government
from tbe grasp of men who started re
bellion for tbe purpose of extending
tbe bouodary of tbe peculiar institu
tion which was founded on tbe doc
trine tbat Capital tkall own its Labor,
should not be repudiated and made
worthless, but tbat it shall be redeem
ed in honest money ; but all tbat im
portant reason be left out He quoted
Tbaddeus Stevens, than whom no
greater ohauipion of tbe common rights
of snen ever lived in tbis eountry, and
who Will ever live fresh aod green in
the memory of those who believe in
tbe equal rights of all men before tbe J
law. Yes, be quoted Stevens, as a
financier, to support bis irredeemable
currency theory, but Mr. North bas
fallen into the mistake that many others
have fallen into with regard to Mr
Stevens. Tbey conclude tbat because
Stevens was an able lawyer aud popu
lar advocate, and was a champion in
tbe cause of freedom, tbat be must
needs be a great fiuancier also. Ue
was not a great financier ; bis financial
efforts were in the main failures, but
be was a great lawyer, and practiced
where large moneyed interests center,
and got large fees for bis labor, and
tbat gave bini tbe appearance of suc
cess as a financier. He could not take
care of money, and if be bad been in
many an other calling than tbe law,
which was suited to bini, be would
bave been oue of the people of tbe
land who are poor in money. It is one
thing to be an able lawyer gathering
to large fees, and quite a different
thing to be an able fiuancier fcaving
money.
lie read tbe preamble to the Lotted
States Constitution, and because it de
clared that tbe object of tbe Constitu
tion is to "provide lor tbe general wel
fare," the Greenbackers are Constitu
tionally correct, for tbey wish to pro
vide for tbe general welfare. Tbat
general welfare point was bis Constitu
tional argumeut for tbe greenback cur
rency. He talked about tbe silver. He
charged tbat tbe National debt bas been
increased many millions of dollars with
in tbe past tbree months by tbe issue
of new bonds for gold, but somehow it
slipped bis memory tbat tbe new bonds
issued were 4 per cent, bonds, aud tbat
the gold received for tbem is in tbe
Treasury, ready to be paid out for
higher interest-bearing bonds, which
irill soon be due, and will bo paid by
the gold received for tbe 4 per cent
bonds. Tbe people of tbis county have an
illustration of tbat kind oi financiering
in tbis county by tbe commissioners. It
is we.l Known that the nrst bonds to
pay the Court House debt issued
by tbe commissioners of Juniata eounty
were 6 per cent, interest bearing bonds.
It is also well known tbat tbe commis
sioners called in all tbe matured 6 per
cent, bonds and issued in tbctr stead
5 and 4 per sent, bonds. Now, if
some one bad gatten up tbe story tbat
the new bunds was an increase of the
county debt, tie story would be like
the one told by the Ureen backers on
Monday evening.
He spoke of tbe Uepublican and
Democratic platform, and confessed
that bis object is to destroy confidence
in government bonds. He paid bis re
spects to General Grant in a Democratic
and Confederate way, and declared
tbat if be is elected President again
tbe liberties of tbe people will come to
an end.
From Grant he stepped over among
the National banks. He deplored tbe
recent decision of tbe Supreme Court,
tbat tbe National banks may charge'
such interest for tbe ' money they
loan as is legalized by acts of Legisla
ture, and be thought that a great
wrong, but be forgot all about tbe in
terest charged, or discounts of private
banking institutions. He admitted tbat
any five men who can raise tbe funds
to secure tbe note holders may statt a
National bank, and be failed to tell tbat
five or more men may start a private
bank all on borrowed mooev, and on
tbe deposits ol others, witb little or no
seenrity, nothing but tbeir bonor, which,
alas ! too often proves to be nothing
bnt dishonor.
He told tbat five men can organise
a National bank on one hundred tbous
and dollars, but before tbey do so they
bave to boy one hundred thousand dol
lars of U. S. bonds, and deposit tbe
same in the U.S. Treasury for seenrity
for tbe payment of every note they issue
which will be ninety thousand of Na
tional notes. For the privilege or right
to issue tbe $90,000 iu National bank
notes tbey most keep 1100,000 in
bonds in the United States Treasury
as security. He talked about tbe in
terest ou bonds held by tbe govern
ment for tbe security of tbe bolder of
tbe National bank notes, but he failed
to tell tbat the interest is the same as
given to other bond holders, and tbat if
the notes were surrendered and the
bonds lifted, and converted into other
U. S. bonds at the rate of interest tbat
was given wben the bonds were depos
ited there would be no difference be
tween them and other bonds. He failed
to teil tbat there is no difference between
tbem and other bonds now, farther than
that tbe bank bonds became a security
to the note holder, and tbat tbey fur
nish
a fund for a large tax while the ,
soruuioa U. 8. bond is not taxed. He
failed to tell that while the National
bank bonds got uo more interest t ban
tbe common U S. bond tbey pay a
large tax. He did not telt tbat the
National banks paid a tax of about
116,000,000 in 1877. If bis plan suc
ceeds the National banks will be abol
ished, the $ 16,000,000 revenue derived
from theiu will be lost, aud the with
Other bond will be converted into
greenbacks which pay no revenue in
aby shape. He failed to teil that if all
of the bouds,coiauion aud national.coutd
be converted into paper money, tbey
would be so cheap that in all probabil
i;y a wagon load of it would not buy a
basket of provisions, as tbe fathers used
to say of tho Continental money. He
spoke agaiust Mr. Fi-her, the Republi
can candidate for Congress, in tbis dis
trict, because of bis connection witb a
National bank. He touched up lieecber
and the New York World because of
something they said about a man being
able to live on $1.00 a day, and then
went off into a calculation of how well
a family of a man aod wife and five
children can live on tbat sum, and wben
hs was done be bad it figured so tbat
it appeared that they must lire on a
meal tbat will cost two cents for each
member of tbe family three times i
day, or forty-two cents for tbe whole
family for three meals per day. Ue
drew a picture of having met a bare
footed girl io a butcher shop in Hunt
ingdon last winter, wbeie she bad one
for " bones," and to bis credit be indi
rectly told tbat be bought ber both
meat aod shoes.
He drew a statement as to bow much
more profitable it is to hart money in
vested in bonds than in laud, and
wound it up by declaring tbat a ten
thousand dollar investment in laod.and
tbe same sum in bonds, at tbe ex
piration of a certain period, the land
holder would scarcely bave maintained
himself, while the bondholder would
be able to buy six ten thousand dollar
farms.
He favored the payment of tbe bonds
in greenbacks, tbe repeal of the Nation
al bank law, and the payment of the
I same fund in greenbacks, and in con
elusion he urged them to stand to the
j greenback party. Tbey can win by
tbe ballot, which is more powerful than
tbe sword or the bayouet. Taken, as a
speech it was a creditable one, and in
dicated tbat he worked hard to get it
together as be delivered it. But the
withering, deadly financial poison in it
is the repudiation of a coin basis, wbicb
cannot fail to eause a corrplete repudi
ation of the whole National debt, green
backs and all, just as tbe Continental
money was repudiated when it was
known that it could not be redeemed
in coin, ani just as the currency of
the State banks used to be repudiated
wben it was discovered that they bad
more currency out than than they could
redeem.

jOn last Friday night the store of Winey
and Custer, at East Salem, this county, was
entered by a thief or thieves. There is a
covered porch or portico in front of the
store. The scoundrels who entered the
place climbed a locust tree that stands in
front of the building, and from the tree
stepped onto the roof ol the portico, on
which they could stand and work, unseen,
at opening a wicdow in the second story of
tbe house. They cut enough of the sash to
take out four lights, two of w hich were not
broken or cracked but lay nicely aside, on
tbe roof ot tbe porch ; the other two lights
were broken into pieces, ard from the marks
of blood on the window a hand or two mnst
have been cut in the operation of removal.
From the entrance thus effected the thieves,
as is evidenced by their work, passed
through the second story of the building to
a stairway that I.-ads to the first floor of a
warehouse in the rear of the sole or store
room. The door between the two rooms
just mentioned was forced open, and the
thieves bad free access to the ntorej which
seemingly was their objective point. Tbey
bursted open a Tucker till, the money draw
er, and took therefrom wbat coin change
had been left therein, which amonnted to
seven to ten dollars. A package of Thomp
sontown bridge tickets, which were done op
in paper which had the figures 20 marked
on it, was also taken. Probably they,thought
it contained something more valuable. The
tickets were worth one dollar. 4 number
of pocket kuives were also missing, and it is
believed the thieves took them. Tbe con
tents of an unlocked sale was examined,
but deeds, insurance policies and other pa
papers were not disturbed, further than to
pas through an examination by the bur
glars. Tbe post-office department of tbe
building was not disturbed?!
Tbe McVeytown Journal relates the fol
lowing good one : A McVeytown boy waa
engaged In nocturnal apple-stealing short
time ago, and was observed by the owner of
tbe fruit, who. unnoticed by tbe young rob-b-v,
placed a large stuffed dog at tbe foot
of tbe tree and retired to watch the result
of the strategy. The boy descending ob
served tbe dog, and then the fun com
menced; he whistled, coaxed, threatened
unavailingly, the animal never mbvlng, and
Anally tbe youth accepting the inevitable,
settled down to passing tbe night in the
tree. After Soxe hours bad passed, weari
ly enough to the lad, morning dawned, and
the proprietor of the tree coming from the
bouse, asked bim bow he came to be in tbe
tree, to which the boy answered tbat be
took to it to save bimsell from the dog,
who bad cbased biro quite a distance. It

Judge Junkin will deliver an agricultural
address at Riverside Park Fair on the 3rd
day ot October next. As tbe Judge is a
practical farmer, and has the ability to ex
press bis txperience and observation in lan
guage, an intc sting and instructive ad
dress is in store for all who will attend on
that occasion.
You recollect that at the time tthtn Re
bellion was believed to be on the highway
to success, bow it took two dollars and up
wards ot greenbacks to buy one dollar of
gold. Sow the confidence in the currency
of the Xltlon is so nearly restored tbat
there is only a half cent of a difference be
tween the greenback and gold. The policy
of tbe so-called Greenbackers, and Democ
racy, ff carried out, will again change dis
turb values. The price of gold and ailver
will go up, and tne price of paper money
will go down.
Two weeks ago the Democrat and Reguttr
declared that the Democrat who Would
speak approvingly of tbe county nominees
of the Republican party, should be looked
after; that such Democratic people in ad
probability will vote the Republican ticket,
or a part of it, at least. Last week tbe
same journal tarns about and speaks ap
provingly of the Republican nominees,
which is not to be objix-ted to, for the Re
publican candidates are all worthy men;
but wbat we don't understand, is the climb
ing of the fence, from one sjde to the other,
that our cotemporary down town has been
indulging in.
The Greenbackers held a meeting at M- x
tco last friiay evening. Tbeir speech
making was so wide of the mark thtt the
better-informed people of the audience
could not well stand the remarks, and Mr.
John Motxer arose and corrected the gen
tlemen in several of their mistakes. Mr.
Motzer is not an old raao, but in bis life
time be baa passed through several of tbe
panica that bave swept over this country,
and be knows by practical experience that
the depressed condition ot tbe finances of
the country are not justly attributable to
the Republican psrty, and but that tor the
system ot finance which the Republican
party inaugurated tbe financial condition of
the country would be maey time worse.

Last Thursday evening, about live o'clock,
Uias gallie Purdy died at bar home in Fer

other people tilled up I he active circle ol

were in b r own native land. A tew who
knew her half a centuy ago were preseut

The foreign sgitator, Kearney, wis in
Philadelphia on Friday evening and address
ed a Urge assembly of people tbat had con
vened os a vacant lot to bear him. Uia
speech waa a vulgar harangue or piece of

year old boy in the common schools,
would cause bis expulsion. It waa pro
