Washington Letter on Greenbacks and Party Alignments in 1877
In August 1877 the middle States division handled 7 000 030 letters while 17 000 000 were carried nationwide, signaling business revival. Real estate grows livelier as greenback value rises with property wealth, and the public mirrors faith in threefold currency parity. The piece attacks hypocrisy in politics and religion, accuses hard money Democrats of demagoguery, recalls Lincoln’s 1861 call for 45 000 troops, and cites Treasury strains under War Secretary Chase.

Battle over treasury notes and money for war effort
A long debate among Hot. 8.C. Pomeroy and Hon. E.G. Spaulding led to pressing questions on funding the Union army. Chase favored bonds while others pushed Treasury notes. After days of discussion in New York bankers lent 7 million dollars in state bank notes. Congress later authorized 60 million in treasury notes with legal tender.

Rural Opinions on Greenback Press and Economy
A rural op ed argues that if the Greenwackers gained control of government presses for fat dollar production, people could carry groceries in a wallet. It cites a financial calamity caused by early greenback paper money issued about a century ago by colonies, altering the currency supply and economy.
