Honest Dollar.

Among other m<ean things that Tom Scott did was to take one McPherson from the occupation of bull whacker and transfer him to the United States senate. Said McPherson in the supposed discharge of his «duty aired his views of “hon est” money. We suppose it was, the first time, either in theorj r or practice, that he had com e in contact with the "word ho nest. Indeed what we have hoard of his doings we should have: disliked to be present when tie attempted its use, fearing it might have choked him. What use is now made of the phrase “I tonest money?” President and. expresident use it. villainous senators who ought to be doing; their states service in their penitentiaries, use it and that without fully comprehending their traitorous utterances. That is money which the whole people in their governmental capacity declare to be money and he who defies, annuls or derides the laws of his country, is as much a traitor as that braver men who fires upon his country's fiag.

Honest money’ E v ery dollar ever stamped with the fall authority of this government, be it a paper, silver or gold dollar, has always be en an honest dollar and equal to any and all other dollars fend Ben and Grover ’both know it, and wore they as loyal to their country and their country ’s authority as presidents and ex -presidents ought to be they v . ounld not thus speak contemptuously of their country’s sovereignity. Could some of these traitors that prate about hon est and dishonest money, be inn reached and forever disbarred from holding any office of honor, tr ust or profit, it would have a v.holesome effect.
