Mr. Editor All reform movements
have their ups and dow ns, but if based
on just and righteous ~ principles each
renewed jffdrt pl».ce.vthe reform one
step higher. Hefortners are apt to be
discouraged with slow nrolgress. We
forget how hard it was to convince ouV-
aelves.of the necessity for action cm our
part. With times we are content to de
vote odrselve* to the accuniulatipn of
wealth or enjoyiutut of the present,
leaving the vital Interest of govern
ment to thpge who make a husineas of
polities. The result has always been
disastrous to those wlm neglect the du
ties of citizenship.
' There will always Ije ~ a few ~6ravc
men to sound the tocsin of alarm, but
the masses, aa a rule, will l»ear the bur
den until it becomes too heavy to be
borne longer. Twenty years ago theo’ld
guard usually called ••(iroenbackers”
soumled the u»csi)i of alarm, but there
was a new rfftenrivc West to which rfie
overburdened could fly .to start life
anew. Ami instead of tigliting it out
on economic lines they tried to fight ft
out with muscle. Vain hope. The
nemesis of contraction of the medium
of exchange was intensified l>£ the in
crease of product* to be exchanged.
In the old Greenback campaign the
people had not yet suffered sntllolently
to be ripe fora revolution, theft the am-
ofhee < well meant, perhap.'.l
