Joint Sherman's Speech at Cincinnati.

Hon. John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury, addressed an immense audience at Pike's Opera House, in Cincinnation the night of August 30, on the issues of the pending campaign. Mr. Sherman spoke substantially as follows:

Fauxw

CITIZENS: The Democratic party

desires to make change in .the Executive branch of the Government of the United States, and appeals to tbe American people to bring about such a change this fall. The Republican party, recognizing tne right of that party to make the appeal, will bear patiently and kindly all it has tu say.

Tbe last great change In the Executive branch of tbe General Government occurred In 1800, by the election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United State*. At that time tbe open advocacy of bis election could not be made safely to life or limb in thirteen States of tbe Union, where the strength of the Democratic party lay. But, in spite of this, the people of the Northern States, firmly impressed with tbe necessity for the change, made it and what man in this broad land doej not now feel that it was a happy change? And vet the Democratic party of that time resisted it. It not only resisted it during the canvass, but tbe controlling segment ot that party rebelled against it by force of arms, and undertook to disrupt tbe Government and to destroy the Union.

The Democratic party desired a change In 1804, when, in the midst of war, the magnitude of which even now in the distance staggers us with amazement, it met in National Convention and resolved that tho war was a failure, and demanded peace on any terms. If Itn de-tiro for a change had then been gratified, we would have now no united country to boast of, no land to love. The American people, though weeping over their lost ones and feeling heavily the burdens of war, said there should be no change, and there was none Abraham Lincoln was elected again.

The Democratic party desired a change in 1868. It was encouraged by the detection of Andrew Johnson and by many divisions in the Republican party. The rebels had been restored to their lost citizenship, and had already organized a system of terror In several of the Southern States. Tweed wai in the ascendency in New York witft his gigantic frauds he plundered tbe city, tilled the cravings of the army of his dependents with the plunder of rich contracts, issued tens of thousands of fraudulent naturalization papers, stutted the ballot-boxes, and thus reversed the vote of the Empire State. Yet, after all, the American people decided that thero should be no change that the Republican party, which saved the country, should still be trusted with Its administration and Grant, tho great soldier of the war, was made President.

So, again, the Democratic party desired a change In 1876. It had previously organized the solid South, according to the Mississippi plan, with terror and violence. It fondly thought it had made good a fulcrum of li*d Electors from States lately in rebellion, and bad carefully laid plans tosecureonough more to make the election sure. Tilden was nominated for President. He hud a barrel full of money, which was spont without stint, and thus introduced for the first time in American politics the most shameless corruption in a Presidential election. Hat. more tuan all, the country was suffering under great financial distress. It was natural, but not Just, that many clamored for a change, who had no sympathy with tho principles of tho Democratic party but still tho fraud and Intimidation attempted In three of the Stutes failed in its object, and the Republican party in the Northern States stood by its principles, and Hayes was elected.

When President Hayes was inaugurated, the Resumption act of 1875 was an unexecuted mandate of the Republican party. It had been voted for only by Republicans, and had from its introduction been assailed, resisted and ridiculed by tbe Democratic party. Many honost, sincere men of both parties, who really wished resumption, believed it impracticable for years to enne. Gold was at a premium of nearly six per cent. The National revenues bacl been greatly impaired as tbe result of tbe panlo, so that thero wns, in fact, no surplus revenue to aid in tbe work of resumption. Tbe only means left was to increase the volume of ooin beforo the day of resumption by the sale of bonds, to do the utmost to strengthen the public credit, and to produce confidence In the ability to resume. This was done in the eighteen months that followed tbe inauguration of Pres deut Hayes, and at the end of that period the credit of the country had been greatly advanced: surplus coin had been accumulated to ihe amount of $130,000,000, and tbe mlntl, relieved from imaginary terrors, hud become not only reconciled to resumption, but was anxiously and hopefully awaiting the event. During ail this tune the Democratic party excelled itself in active resistance to the successful execution or this law. They sought to repeal It they sought by investigations through committees of Con gress to discredit all the proceedings ha under It and it was boastfully said that thousands of dollars would be given to stand on tho right of the line at the public Treasury on the day of resumption. Vour ears rang with their ridicule aud denunciation of the Resumption act but still, thanks to the Republican party, resumption came, and came so certainly and so securely that at this day specie payments are more complete, in the true

sense or

the term, than ever before In this

couutry, and

complete as iu any country in

the wo-M. The Tkimooratic party, convicted of false prophecy, could only shout out that It was Providence that did it that the good crops, which came six months after resumption was

a complete success, did It and some of them had tbe audacity to say that the way to resumption was prepared by the economies enforced by the Democratic House of Representatives. One thing is eertatn. that if Its dosire for a change had been gratified four years ago by tho American people, the resumption act would not havo been enforced. Resumption, then with all tbe goo that has accompanied and followed it, is tbe direct result of the wisdom of your choice In tho election of a Republican President four years ago.

When President Hayes was inaugurated there was upon the statute-book tbe refunding act of 1K70. It was placed there by tho Republican party—a part of its policy for the gradual reduction of the burden of tbe pubiio debt. It had been partially executed by the sale of five per ccnt. bonds and when President Hayes was inaugurated we were selling four ana a-half per cent, bonds at par, slowly and with difficulty, 1 determined to withdraw from the market the four and a-half per cent, bonds and sell tbe four per cents at par. This was believed at tbe time to be a doubtful experiment. A sale of every such bond was a saving of one-third of the interest on that portion of tbe debt for every dollar realised was applied to tbe payment of an equal amount of bonds bearing alx per cent. Interest. Bankers shrunk from taking such a bond: but on an appeal to tbe American people, through popular subscription, within sixty days after they were thus offered, f75,000,uG0 of tbeee bond* were taken and were absorbed, mostly tn small sums, all over tbe United States. Thus, the success of tbe loan was established.

Tbe credit of tbe Government advanced precisely as resumption approached success and within on* hundred days after resumption there wen* eo.d of four per cent, bonds, thus completing the work of refundlog, as far a* tbe law allowed it to be done, by the rede®pilot! of all the bonds bearing Ore or six percent. Interest that were then redeemable. Tbe rwsalt of this Uepubtlcaipolicy was a sating to the people of th* Unite States of tntwe-i per year.

But this teai not the ontf benefit derived by our peopte froui refund n* operations. Tbe

rate

of mtoteat became permanently reduced on all Investments thmugnout the country. Low interest ts the chief factor in our pro*pertty. It became po«ib»e for manufacturer* and tradespeople to ^rrow montsy, so as to conduct their business profitably. Thto low rate of Interest produced a demand for new tarettmcnta. and new enterprises were mart' S inHmL -Ibu* th* pobcy of the R*» acta, the way was prosperity. And ill of the Bepub-

The principal of tbe debt had attained its jnaxlinum August Kl, l.*S& when It repeated *2&?L 431,5

THa. It bas been gradua If •paid off -with the suipioi rerentifc, so that* on Uie 1st aayof July of this year it was »14T19,c2-I.74I.IV The principal of tbe debt hss been reduced #537lOt,i23.08, but the interest has been reduced In far greater proportion. In 1S«" tne inter-est-bearing dcJirt was $?.-i-rl,5 J0.2SH.SJ8, and the rate of Interest on part of it was as high as 7 8-10 per cent, per annum, and tbe interest cbargewas tl5C,4#77.W7.87. The interest charge bad been reduced to $79.633.9M, on the 1st of July, 1«80: and we only await tbe maturity of $73J,lHo,aOO, the balance of the 5 and 6 per cent, bands, to reduce tbe Interest-charge to not exceeding A Republican Administration Is now paying tbe public debt at tbe rate of ten millions a month, or two and a half millions a week. In all human probability, before thl« Administration closes Its term, tbe debt will te further reduced seventy millions, maUny a saving in annual interest of four millions of dollars.

Tbe Democratic party pursued an exactly opposite policy. From 18oI to 1860, when Mr. Buchanan was President, it steadily increased tbe public debt from $9,996,621.76 to f6'i,961,402.01. At tbe close of that period it paid as high as 12 per cent, on one-year Treasury notes, and sold 6 per cent, twenty-year bonds at eighty-nine cents on the dollar. In States where the Democratic party has the ascendency, like Virginia, Louisiana, Tennessee. Mississippi and Arkansas, it has either repudiated tne State debts or threatens to do. Its success, in a National election, would, in my Judgment, greatly Impair the public credit and reduce the value of public securities.

Under the Administration of President Hayes, tbe revenues of tbe Government have been honestly and faithfully disbursed. During this Administration the losses by defalcation have been reduced to tbe smallest percentage that has ever been shown in any administration of this Government, or of any other known to us.

During the three years of this Administration, ending June w, 1* t, tjere was collected from all sources All this vast sum has been paid into tde Treasury, excepting about $ 15.1W0, and it is believed that even this sum will be recovered. The interna! revenue collected in every p'lt of the United States has been pai-i into tne Treasury without the loss of a doli»tr. Besides the collection of the revenue, the jrrout tra is ctions of the Postollice Department, ext -iniinir all over the ountry, aud collecting and disbursing during the lost three years an amount of more thau $260,000,00.1, have thus far been made with tbe loss of less than $1,30J.

The disbursement of this money by public oSicers at home and abroad has been made for tho purposes for wliieo it was appropriated by Congress, absolutely without loss or defalcation so far as known to the Government.

During the Administration of James Buchanan, the loss by defalcations of public officers in the collection and disbursement of the public moneys was J5-J.81 on every $1,000 during Pierce's Administration it was $.{.5d during Polk's Administration it was $1.05 during Jackson's Administration it was $7.52 dutiug Van Buren's Administration it was $11.71. Mark the contrast with Republican Administrations:

In Lincoln's time, ombraciug the recklessness caused by war, it was seven!y-six cents. For six ye^rs of Grant's Administration it was thirty-four cents. In Hayes' Administration thus far—assuming that all amounts in dispute are lost—tbe loss on $l,u0J would be so small that the smallest coin of the country would make it good three times. It has been but one-third of a cent on $1,U0J of the amount involved.

This Administration has ofTected a striking reduction of the expenses of those branches of the public service over which the Executive has complete control. Tho expense of collecting over $188,000,0^0 customs during the last fiscal yoar was only 3-10 per cent., while the expense of collecting $.%,000,00t) in I860, during President Buctianau's time, was 6 2-10 per cent, on the amount collected—Just double. There was carried to tbe Surplus fund, on the isOth of June, 1W0,18,431,416, money appropriated for the dlilereut departments for that year and .emaining unexpended. Does any one believe that a Democratic administration could have attained these results?

And what has been tho result of Republican administration under President Hayes upon the general business interests of the country? We have witnessed, and are now enjoying, the greatest revival of business of modern times. We have leaped forward from a period of extreme distress to one of great prosperity. Our exports during the last useal year touched the enormous sum of $ i,:5,000,0*J, being an increase since 1875 of over $'20,000,000. Our impoits during the lust fiscal yoar were $0oo,000,0o0, being an increase since 1876 of $185,000,000, and making an aggregate foreign commerce of the last yoar of over $1,500,000,000. In Ihe great branches of Industry—agriculture, manufactures and mining—we are now taking our rank as the leading Nation. With plenty of money as good as gold, with plenty of work, for all who are willing to work, with cheap capital, we have now superadded the most bounteous crops that ever blessed any portion ot the world. Think of wheat crops of 450,000,000 bushels a year, and corn eiops of about 1,800,000,tXA) a year, and everything else In proportion. For these high prices have been realized. Our Government debt, formerly largely held abroad, is now almost exclusively held at home the mortgage- upon our lands and farms have been reduced to one-third their amount in 18i5 the balance of trade is so largely in our favor that foreign countries, no longer able to Send back our securities, are compelled to ship gold. The buil.ling of railroads keeps puce wlih our general prosperity. The number and amount of business failures have been reduced moro than one-half. In a word, the rough road has been traveled and the smooth one Is now before us.

Our National prosperity has excited the attention of all European Nations, and has set in motion again the stream of immigrants, whose labor ba3 added so greatly our growth and productions. The number who arrived during the lost fiscal year was 455,495, against 177,838 in 1«70. During the month of June last, 72,587 immigrants reached our shore, and sinco March 1, to tne latest date of which we have reports, tho number is about 328,OJO, or more than enough to form a State.

We can fairly claim that the renewal of business Is the natural result of the policy of the Republican party. It true that Providence gave us bounteou? crops, but these came after resumption was secure, and after we had laid the foundation of honest money and diversified industry, whicu enabled us to improve the blessings of Providence. Certain it Is, that wo owe no part of our prosperity to tho Democratic party.

In 1875, the last year In which the Republicans had a majority in bofb Houses, the ap-

S14f.T14,940,

ropriation*. made for the fiscal yeac l876 were At the next session the Democrats controlled tbe House, and, by refusing to appropriate for some of the roost necessary expenses of ibe Government, reduced the appropriations to $134,122,010. and the following year, in order to coerce the President by a failure to pass tbe army bill and to provide for other necessary expenses, Uiev reduced the appropriations to $8S,3SM83: but at the following session, to make g*sor! these deficiencies and to repair the faults committed, they appropriated $172,016,80'. being 000,0X) more than was appropriated in 18t6 and in 1880 they spproortated $M£.404.ft47 and for 1881 they have appropriated $1&4,I18J£12, or $7,000,kW more than tbe appropriations made the last year the Republicans controlled the House. The appropriations made for the cur.•ent fiscal year by a Democratic Congress, in a time when the currency is upon the specie standard, are aa larsre aa in the year 1873. made by a Republic Congress when our currency was at a discount of twelve per cent., and when the Government was paying large war claims.

The Democrat* can point to wp law passed during their time which even purports to bring relief to the people, to lessen tb«* burdens of taxation, or to advance the public interests.

And now, in they want a change: not a change in the Democratic House or Senate, but a change in the Executive branch of the Government, so that ail branches of the Government will be prncticalty under the-ir power sod control. It to known very well that within a period of mr ears tbe election of a Democratic President would probaolv convert tbe Supreme four. Into a cit&del of the principles and policy of the Democratic party, and Change the National leodeud-aof that great tribunal Into a tnacnfne to cripple the Government in its power to protec tm rights or tbe freed men by the adopt on of tbe irrow notlcBS of State rights, wtitc.i governed the Democratic party befo tt.« war.

This is the change they propose. This is the revolution they would brine about. what reasons do they give, what motives do they assign, as the bjuis of such a revolution/

Senator Pendleton says they want a chance to examine the books ui the Treasury Department. The books of the Treasury are now, and have been for years, under the surveillance of tbe Democratic majority of the House. Committees of both houses have explored the recesses of that department, examined its books, compared the figures, and what have they found/ They claim that in 1870 great discrepancies were shown in the statements of the public accounts but these discrepancies, after a full and fair examination, have been fully explained as tbe necessary result of keeping two sets of books in different offices of tbe Government, which, embracing different items, fr. their nature, must differ on a given day, iu some oases, to tbe amount of millions of dollars but when these discrepancies are examined, and the elements which enter Into one and do not enter into the other are explained and compared, the books are found to be correct every particular.

Mr. Tilden sayB they want a change in order to condemn what he alleges was tbe fraud of 1877. Butthis pretended fraud consist? simply in the fact that, the Electoral Commissi ,n, a tribunal whicb they aided to organize, and whose judgment they agre-.d to abide, decidtd differently from what they expected. They forced tbe adop Ion of this comin ssion as a means to exclude votes duly returned from some of the .southern States. They failed in this, and from that time they have cried out "fraud, fraud." The fraud that existed in the election of 1876 was the fraud, violence and intimidation piacticed by the Democratic partyin at least live of the Southern States, but in such bungling way in Louisiana that it was promptly corrected by the return.njr officers of that State. In South Carolina and 1 lorida the actual vote csst, as well as the legal vote, WJS in favcr of the Republican Electore. They attorn »tcd in Oregon, where tbe people had without qt.estion voted for the Hayes Electors, l?y narrow technicalities to exclude the Repul.llja Electors and to iecognize the Democratic i.lectors, and large sums of money were confessedly paid to accomplish this fraud.

But, fellow-c tizens, this erv to now the sheerest hypotri-y. If be Democratic party believed in »t way was not ti. liiden renominated? Tlieu the peoplj cou have tried the alleged fiau l. out the fra id pm iced by the ijcmociatic party tre -^OUM is a continuing fraud—two ears aifo, last ear and this yearcontinued openly with a jn'im umor, and justified oy th:- dominant opinion ,-iouth and by the aojuiefcc-nee of the uemocrrcy of tne North. It is only by this fraud that that party hopes for success. If now ht ro is a change in the Executive branch of the Government it will be cauoea by the grave and startling fact that the rebels of ihe South have, by bloody means, sueceede 1 in overthrowing the Constitutional rijrhta of 5,00ii,000 of freedmen, and the Democratic party of the North, eager for power and place, co-operato with the rebels of the South in this crime by sharing in the power and places secured by it.

Senator Tburmau says they want to bring about change, so as to restore the old timehonored doctrine of the Democratic party in respect to State rights. Under tho do ,ma of Estate rights, that party gradually subordinated the rights and powers of the National Government to those of the several States, until it finally claimed that any State might nullify tho laws of tho United States and secede from ihe Unio.i.

This doctrine of State rights is the basis of oip sitiou to Natioual Hunks, lothe National lection laws and protection of the buhot-box and to the Navigation laws. Whenever the uestion urisei in Nuti .1 politics you will lways find the Republican arty in favor of •oi' enforcement ot ult tf.c -ipiits,civil and po.itleal, conferred by the constitution of the .'nltcd States, while the Democratic party oppose the enforcemc it of th'*e rights and etivo the citizen to the tender merev of local or State law.

Senator Hampton, in a recent speech at $taunton, u, Htatod the issue fairly: Consider what Lee and Ja'-kson would do ivre they alive. These are the same princinos for which they fought for fou yeais. Reloinber the men who poured forth their lifeood on Virginia's soil, and do not abandon eni now."

I he South did fig hf for tho rights of the States as they understood them and thi* contest has already cost the Nation half a million of lives and over six thousand milllous of dollars. It is for tho people of the North, who took the burden of this contest upon themselves, to say whother, within twenty years after our heroes were sacrificed in the war, and while the debt still bears heavily, they are willing. for the sake of gratifying the Dem icratic party, to vindicate the principles against which we fought.

If the principles of tho Democratic party twenty years ago, and the mon who fought for them, are restored to power, you will Hnd the same slavish acquiescence of the Democratic fragments of the North to the Democrats of the South as 'fore the war. The election law will be the fl st to be repealed, and thus will be legalized all tho atrocious crimes and frauds of the Soutu, and even the great fraud of New York will be condoned forever. Amnesty and forgiveness will be proclaimed for the meanest crime 5 that have ever en committed ag:Unst free government. What protection will there then be for tbe trocmon of the South? What guard will thete be against the ballot-box stulTers and like criminals in the North?

Mr. Sherman thin concluded: 'i he Republican p.n"ty may nnetime* have failed to meet your.expectatiom in all thin rs, may sometimes have neglected do that which ought to have ben done, but, on the whole, it has rendered such service to this country that it may fairly claim to be intrusted with the Administration of the (lovernment until at lei«t some party appears with better principles and a better cord. The Republican party conducted the war with success. It has emancipated a whole race. It has done its utmost to secure civil and religious liberty to all citizens. It has developed the homestead policy. It has unified and nationalized all parts of our common country Into one grand whole, without invading in the least the rights and duties of the several States, woich du-iag this time have securely managed their lucai affairs wit-iout let or hindrance fiom the Na I nal Government. It proposes further to develop this policy. It proposes to maintain the resumption of specie payments, so that we may continue to have gtx)d money of gold and snver and paper, all equal to each other, and sll of universal credit wherever water runs and our tiajj floats. It proposes to complete the pLn ot refunding the debt by the substitution of bonds bearing from three to four pjr cent, interest for those Still outstanding bearing a higher rate. It proposes, while steadily pursuing the principle of pTOteeti.ur American indu-try, to reduce as rapidly as possible the burden of taxation, and at no distant time to con.me all National taxes to xlernte duties oil imported goods and a tax on liquors, tob.tcc.i and beor. Regarding education as the strongest foundation for Republican government, it pi-oposes to foster schools and colleges and academies of learo'ng, and to make the way open in the South as well as in the No th to every child, black or white, to receive the rudiments of education. It has given you, as an evidence of its pursea, an honest, faithful, and sueCJSSlui administration of the National Government under the Presidency of Rutherford B.

uiit in wrong tu oor iiwuiutu una mrwjrn Nations. To secure these great objects, we have placed in nomination General Garfield, a citizen of Ohio, who was trained in the hool of adversity, whieb has produced -aiv all the great men in American politics. He is self-edu-cated. He has been tried in both civil and military life, and in every position occupied by him has rendered satisfaction to his constituents. He entered the volunteer army at tbe beginning of the war as a soldier, performed brilliant services, rose rapidly, until be was called by the people of his district to represent them in Congress. He is thoroughly informed and trained in all the questions of the dav. and in all of tnem is in full harmony with the Republican party. Re is admirably prepared to discharge the civil duties of the gh office for which he has been nominated, aud, convpa ed General Hancock, by any test that may be applied to him, is his supcti «r in ability, capacity and fitness for Presiuent of the United States. General Hancock relies solely upon bis service In the army and upon the issuing of an order, which, in my judgment, under the circumstances,

was

a concession to rebels tba ought not to have been made, while General Garfield can point to a varied civil and military life, combining tbe heroism of tbe soldier and trained experience In the highest civil duties. Let no personal disappointment enter into or color our zeal iu the good cause, but with the oourage and hope that animated tbe Union army during the war, let us press forward our Republican principles until all that we have guaranteed by the Constitution or the laws shall be fully secured to the humblest as well as tbe loftiest citizeu of this republic.

We may conclude will never cease as long as the word stands. Every da}' brings to our notice something new and wo have become so accustomed to it that wo think strange of nothing but accept everything as a matter of course, and tlie old saying, "will wonders never cease?" has come absolute, for we wonder at nothing. Especially is this the case in the arts and sciences as applied in the manufacture of dress fabrics. It was thought a few years asro that there could be no improvement in this direction, but as each car rolls around we note a marked advance. Especially is this the case this fall, the beauty of design and richness of colorings, combining all the beauties of the Orient in such artistic manner that it fairly makes the brain whirl. The beauty of it nil is, you do not have to go to the Orient to see all this, but right at home, corner Fifth and Main streets, where you ban see all the new styles, in Oriental fancies, Oriental spots and figures, French diagonals with Oriental bands, robes, plaids, etc. Don't fiiH to call and see them before buying. New goods of all kinds arriving daily.
