BONDS OR GREENBACKS? (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Bonds or Greenbacks?The Senator from Arkansas [mr. Jones], who had probably more to do with the framing of that declaration than anybody else - at least we hold him responsible, whether he was actually so or not - is too astute a politician to have put any other declaration in that platform. He would not have gone_ before the people of the country in that campaign with the candidate who was our nominee and the platform upon which he ran, a campaign which was a campaign of appeal to the masses of the people, with a declaration that the Government should not have the right in time of war to issue bonds to save the life of the nation.I will refer to what we did on this side in 1862, 1864, and 1865, and will insert in the record the list of the bonds that were issued.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
