(CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAFX.) support the bonds and banks, and fleece the people, instead of issuing greenbacks, they issued bonds, and put them on the market, sold them and established the banking scheme in order, as I have already said, that the people may be fleeced by these banks, not only in the way of interest on the bonds, but actually by the banks themselves. It is only astonishing that the people will sit quietly down and see themselves thus robbed, without any necessity; for I repeat once more that the issuing of these legal tender notes by the government would have subserved the interest of the people just as well, and would have furnished the country a better currency than it now has in circulation, while, at the same time, costing us nothing in the way of interest upon our indebtness, nor profit and interest to the banks for the currency they now give us. It is a scheme of this Republican party to build up a money power in the country, at the expense of the labor of the country. And I appeal to you, Democrat, I appeal to you, Republicans, if it is just, if it is honest, if it is right that you should submit to these things longer ? If you are willing to bare your back to the burden, merely for the sake of party triumph or some notion of consistency, then vote with the Republican party; leave them in power and they will continue to issue bonds; “they will continue to issue bank bills,” they will continue to tax you to your heart's content. But, if yon are honest with yourselves and desire that the burdens of government shall fall equally upon us, you must go with the Democratic host that is to-day rising in its power, determined to hurl from places these men wdio have betrayed their interests, and fastened upon the laboring portion of the community this great indebtness and these exactions. PAYMENT OF BONDS IN ‘GREENBACKS.’ But it may be asked, “how are you to help it?” We have incurred this debt; we have promised to pay these bonds, and have promised to pay the interest upon them ; we have established these national banks—and what are we to do ?” I will tell you, my fellow citizens, what I propose to do—and it is this : Pass a law in the Congress of the United States requiring those who hold our bonds to pres? ent them at the Treasury Department of the Government, and receive there, for principle and interest, whatever is due, in greenbacks. [Criesof “that’ll do,” that's it.”] “Oh !” but says one, “these men, when they bought these bonds, expected to get their pay in gold.” I expect they did! [Laughter.] But it is right that they should ? Let us look at itamoment. When you, my friend, lent your neighbor, in 1860, SIOO to enable him to buy a few cattle and better his condition, and took his note, payable in seven months or two years after date, with interest on that money, you expected that when he got ready to pay you, he would pay you in gold, or something else which was its equivalent, didn’t you ? The Congress of the United States stepped in in the meantime, and said that he can pay in .“legal tender,” though you “expected” V g°kl, “legal tender” was good enough for you! If it was good enough for you in an individual debt, it is good enough for these bond holders! What did you who entered the army in 1861, at the call of your country, “expect ? ’ —how did you “expect” to get your pay ? As the law was, you was to be paid in gold, for it was the only legal tender then, lou went into the army, served three or four years, and came out. How did you get your pay ? In gold or silver ? No ! This Republican Congress passed a law telling you that “legal tender” was good enough for soldiers’ pay, and you took your pay in “greenbacks,” although only worth from sixty to seventy cents on a dollar. How did these men that furnished supplies to the Government, when the war commenced, get their pay ? In gold and silver? Oh; no. The Congress of the United States pass- . ed a law that they should get their pay in “greenbreks.” They Were

good enough for men who furnished supplies to the Government to sustain the soldiers in the war. What is there, then, in the name of common sense, that should enable the men who hold hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonds to collect the interest thereon from the Goverdment in gold, and at the end of the time to demand gold upon the principal ? Is such a one any better than a soldier or officer of the Government, or the great mass of the people ? If he is, give him his gold ! If not, pay him in “greenbacks”—what you and I had to take our pay in when we furnished the Government with supplies, or soldiers, or aid. TAXATION OF BONDS. But, before I proceed further in this argument, I desire to call your attention to one other scheme of this Republican party to aid the capitalists of the country in oppressing the great laboring mases. When these schemes were introduced into the Congress of the L T nited States for the purpose of issuing these bonds and putting them upon the market, the question came up to as whether these bonds ought not to be taxed as other property was taxed. When the Government put these bonds into the market and sold them for what it could get, the purchaser became the owner of the bonds; they were his private property. He inveated his money for the purpose of receiving interest while interest continued to run, and the principal when it became due. He did it for the purpose of living upon that interest—it was his support; he looked to it as a means of livelihood. The question was, then, as to whether the Government ought not to permit them to be taxed.— What did this Republican Congress do ? They said that not only should the Congress of the United States not tax this money or these bonds, but it inserted a provision in the law which prohibited the Legislatures of the several States from taxing them! What is the practical effect of that ? Why, you sell your farm for SIO,OOO, and invest that sum in Government bonds, and thus exempt it from the payment of any taxes either to the National Government, the State government, the municipal government, or to the school district or the road district in which you live. These bonds are exempt from these taxes, and you may draw upon them $ 1,000, very nearly, in gold, as interest upon them. Your neighbor, that has SIO,OOO invested in a little piece of land, in s few houses, in a few mules, in a few cattle, and in farming utensils, will be assessed, when the assessor comes around, to the extent of his SIO,OOO. If his income amounts to more than SI,OOO, he pays a tax to the Government. In addition to that, he has to pay the State, county, school and road, and other municipal assessments against him ; while you, my friend, recline upon your SIO,OOO bond, and bid the collector and assessor defiance. You may enjoy your SI,OOO of interest, and contribute nothin? for your protection in that enjoyment; while your poor neighbor, who earns his living by improving his land, by developing his resources, by feeding and taking care of his stock, has to pay the immense assessments levied for the State, county, municipal, and all other purposes, upon whatever he has.— Is this right ? If it is, then support this Republican government that exempted these twenty-five hundred million bonds from taxation. If it is right, support your Republican candidate for office; these men elected in the Republican party dare not lift their voices against this inquity. You can not find one of their public speakers who has the courage to stand up before Republican bondholders and bankers, and declare it is wrong to tax the labor of the country and exempt the capital of the country. They won’t do it. Still, these bonds, thus exempted, have gone into the hands of thirty or forty thousand people of this country, and you exempt that class, the capitalists—from taxation. Where is the burden to fall then ? There is but one place it can fall, and upon that class this Republican Congress has imposed j it; they have placed it upon the

labor of the country. Men who are wealthy enough to buy Government bonds and live upon their interest have none of the financial weight of the Government to bear. They’ recline luxuriously in the shade, in these hot summer seasons, and the tax collector and assessor have no terrors for them, while the hard working man, who desires the welfare of his country and is laboring to develop its resources, whether upon his farm or in his workshop, every year, and sometimes three or four times a year, is visited by the tax collector and assessor, and his small earnings, the result of his sweat and toil go into the public treasury, simply because the manufacturers of the country, and the wealthy bankers of the land are exempt from these drafts, while the laboring man’s cross is doubled and trebled. I ask you, agan, are you prepared to submit to this state of things tamely and quietly ? If you are, fit subjects for position in the Republican party at the next election. But, if you feel as men feel who desire to bear just their portion of the burthens of Government, and no more, y-ou must range yourselves under the banner of the party that believes in making the people of these United States pay in proportion to what they enjoy, and that will make the capital of the land pay for its protection—thus exempting as far as possible the labor of the country 7 from the enormous weight that it is now struggling under.

Let us look at the matter a moment. Thia inequality, the more we think of it, and the stronger the lights in which we view it, continues to grow until we are lost in wonder at the imprudence of a party of men who will thus attempt to impose upon the country Now, my friends, here are twenty.five hundred millions of capital, in the form of these bond, locked up in the safes, in the banks, and in the treasury of the United States. It is of no benefit to the country.— It does no one any good, except the owner, who, annually or semiannually, draws his interest. It does not enter into the enterprise of the country. It does not afford facilities for men who desire to improve and build up the country to do so, It is no more benefit to the public than is the miser's gold that he hides in his chest or buries in the earth—not a bit. What is it that benefits the country ? It is the public spirit of our men who go into the forest and clear away the trees and shrubs, who improve their land, and run through it the plowshare, and mellow it up and prepare it for producing its crops. It is the men who engage in building houses and barns, and making improvements that beautify, as well as add to the material wealth of the country.— It is the men who go into the mines under the surface of the earth and develop its rich treasures. It is the men who engage in building your railroads Und bridges, and your steamboats, and your ships of war, who give an impetus to commerce, and make the desert blossom as the rose. These are the men that are adding to the wealth of the country; these are the men who give life, and energy, and vitality to a nation. These are the men altogether essential for the maintainance of civil liberty, and prosperity, and happiness among a people. What benefit to the country are these sort of men who have collected their means and invested them in bonds, and buried them away in a safe? Notaparticle! Their capital is invested; they have no labor to bestow upon the country. They develop nothing; but they batten and fatten like the worm in the dung hill, and they will die, disappear, and their memory (if they are ever remembered) will be execreated by the honest, toiling, and Government sustaining people of this country. Now, the question arises, are you prepared to continue this condition of things; or will you not treat these men who hold Government bonds as you treat every other man in this community ? Why can't you give him what you owe him in just the sort of currency that Government has said you shall take ? If you do that has he any right to complain ? No, my fellow citizens, he can not complain. He has no right to complain, unless he assumes that the Almighty has endowed him with some superior.

qualifications, that will enable him to recline upon his Government bonds, and live upon the interest, and have the rest of the community around him, with toil and sweat, labor for his support and the payment of his interest, while he refuses to contribute his mite to the upholding of the Government that protects him in the very enjoyment of this interest which he thus draws on his bonds.
