KEKl* THE I'VCTIs BKFORE TIIK PEOPLE.

Now, if any one in attempting to inform tlie public how much the State owed at a ijiven time, shall take the foreign bonded ,'lebt of the State and represent it as the

ntire debt of the State, when there is at the same time a large domestic debt outstanding, it is manifest that he who seeks truth for his guide cannot safely follow •wch a leader.

Such, however, is the exact process by which the Indianapolis Daily Sentinel, in its leader of August 12, 1870, made the entire debt of the State in 1861, to beS7,770,233, instead of $10,170,267 09, as it i-eally was.

It is a remarkable fact that the Democrats, who have been attempting to enlighten the people on this subject, do not refer to the report of the Democratic Auditor of State, Hon. John W. Dodd, made /two months and a half before the termination of the last Democratic administration to ascertain what the debt was when the Republican administration commenced but instead of doing this they refer to the report of the Republican Auditor of State, Hon. Albert Lange, made November 1, 1861, nine months after the Republican administration began, to find what the debt was the previous January. ''J AMOUNT OF atiflJtE DEBT IN 1861/

In proof then, that the entire debt of the State, foreign and domestic—was in January 1861, $10,179,267.01), I shall quote from the reports of both these Auditors of State, and shall show that tlie^e reports are not in pontliet hut in complete harmony. 1 proceed therefore tia'quole from the report of Mr Dodd of the date of November 1, I860, as found on page 28 of the Documentary Journal of 1861, not a garbled extract, but his full summary atatement^if the condition of the foreign itnd domestic debt ol the State.

Now, here is an itemized statement of a Democratic Auditor of State, showing the entire debt of the Slate, foreign and domestic to have been Si 10,179,267.09, on the 1st day of November I860 and if any Democrat wiolie to convince tl** public that this statement is not correct, hooves him to point out the erroneous items or if he insists that inventor Hammond's administration between the l»t dav of November ISfiO and the 11th day of Januarv 1801 reduced this debt to $7,770.2:'.:!, he should inform us bow and when this reduction was made and which item of the debt wsi* paid.

Now, if we turn back to the summary statement before quoted from Mr. Dodd's report, we find that he reported the foreign bonded debt of the State outstanding November 1,1860 as follows, viz: Internal Improvement bonds 393,00000 j.' ,4^ Fivepercents 5,322,500 00 /IsiPa Two and a half per fecents 2,054,773 •f0

The way the Jast named item ocourrc was by the Democracy adopting the linan cial system of YVilkins Mioawber as improved upon by the female Mirawber wife of Wilkins aforesaid.

Wilkins, you knojv, to replenish the Mioawber Exchequer always relied upon something "turning up," and when the starvation point was reached, his faithful Emily, who never did and never would desert him, always insisted on his turninrf soiiHthiiui up, a- for instance, drawing a bill and selling it at any sacrifice.

The Democracy improved upon this device by turning up the Trust funds when ever they were short, and taking a slice and charging il to the General Fund. They seldom however, had grace enough to give a bill or an 1. O. L\ for the amount appropriated, and'when they did they failed to pay the intere-r. ft is manifest from what has already been said that, when tho Republican State Administration was inaugurated on tho 14th day of January. 1861, the entiro debt of tho State, foreign and domestic, was....

The following statement of the condition of the public debt, is furnished by the Agent of State:

Congress in 1862, which was assumed and paid by the Re- ....... publican Administration without any fresh levy on tho '--4 •-ml. property of the people 904,815 33 Total 13,084,142 42

By these additions, we see that the necessities of the war increased the State liabilities in 1862, from 810,179,267.09 to $13,084,142.42. AMOUNT OF ENTIRE DEBT JULY 15, 1870.

The question remains to be answered how much of this large indebtedness has been paid oft' and how much thereof still exists? In answer to these questions, I state that, on the 15th day of July 1870, the account stood as follows, viz: 1,145,197 33

•SPECIMEN OF DEMOChATtC FINANCEER1NG Now, in contrast witn this, look for one moment at a specimen of Democratic financiering:

In 1852, the Democracy did, as the

geritl.nel claims, provide for the levy of a balance tax of two cents on each hundred dollars'

in value of the taxable property of the State, as a sinking fund for the redemption of our bonds. The proceeds of this tax were to be used in the purchase of the bonds of the State, nnd these bonds were to be held by the State Debt Board of linking Fund Commissioners and the interest thereon was to be collected from the State and used in the purchasing of more bonds and by this process the Democratic administration had, up to November 1,1858, redeemed $391,810, of the State Stocks.

Now what do yon suppose became of the stocks so redeemed? I think I hear all say, why of coarse they were cancelled and that was the last of them except that they were held by the State Debt Board in their cancelled condition so that they might collect the interest from the State on them and with this interest take up other bonds,

No such sensible disposition I assure yon was made of these redeemed bonds. What then was done with them? I fear if I should tell you in my own language, you would think I was attempting to burlesque my political opponents, and I will therefore adopt the language of the Democratic Auditor of State. Hon. John \V. Dodd, in his report oi' November 1. 1859, which yon will find at page 93 of thc Documentary Journal of 1859—60. "These stocks"—says Mr.Dodd,—have all "been sold to defray current expenses and to meet the semi-annual payment of interest due in New York on the 1st of July last."

This beats any thing ever achieved by the Micawber family in the financial line: Putting the redeemed bonds of the State again on the market and selling them—without authority of law—to raise funds to pay thc salaries of these hopeful officials and to pay the interest an thc other bonds outstanding!

Was not this turning something up with a vengeance? And yet these men are to-day the howling champions of financial reform. No wonder that such financiers are in favor of issuing fourteen or fifteen hundred millions of noninterest bearing Greenbacks and tendering them to our creditors for a like amount of interest bearing bonds. Surely, if a modern Confederate Democrat cannot lift himself tip by the straps of his boots, no one else need try th(*experiment.

But, the cream of the joke has not yet been related. I have given you to understand I hat, after eight years of financial labor, the Democracy, in 18oS, h'ad actualy sticeeded iri taking up State Stocks to the. amount of §391,810.00 and- that they then put these same Stocks on thc market and sold them to procure funds lo carry on the State Government and to pay the interest on the bonded debt of the Stale,, but 1 have not told you what, sum these Stocks were sold for. 1 now inform you that these Slocks, amounting to $391,S10—ou some of which interest had run from January to April, and others from July to October,— were sold for thc magnificent sum of 8207,101.97!

For the proof, I refer you to the same Documentary Journal, page 75, and to the records of the Treasurer's office to show that apart were sold in April and the rest in October.

The Republicans have, after paying interest on them for some ten years,again redeemed these same stocks by paying par for them and w.e promise you that, they shall stay'redeemed this time, unless you entrust them to Democratic officials, in which case yon had better take out a policy against accidents!

COMPARATIVE- TAXATION.

Now look at the subject of taxation as represented in the Sentinel in its issue before mentioned.

It first gives a. tabletipf the aggregate amount of taxation for each of the vears 1850,1851,1852,1853, 1S54, 1855,1856, 1857,1858, and 1859, which it calls years of Democratic administration and, foot-

ihg up these aggregates, produces for the ten years named, $25,077,826 10, as the sum total of the taxation for that period. It then gives us a table ^of the aggregate amount for.each of the years 1860, 1861,1802, 1863r 1864,1865, 1866, 1867, 1868 and 1869, which it calls years of Republican administration and footing up these last mentioned aggregates produces for the ten yeara from 1860 to 1869 inclusive, $87,511,930 24! as the grand total of the taxation for the last named period and deducting the former grand total from the latter, it states as the increase of taxation under Republican rule the sum of $62,434,107 14. Aft§r stating these as the results of the comparison, the Sentinel uses this language, viz: "Admitting the State debt to havo boon as claimed by Governor Morton, $10,179,267, when the Republicans camc into power, in 1861, the increase of taxation alone, under Republican rule, would have paid the debt more than six times over, and yet the Republican leaders set up the claim of retrenchment, economy and honesty in the administration of tho State government.''

Of course this is intended to convey the idea—without in terms saying so— that the increased taxes levied for and applicable to State purposes since 1801, over aud above the levy for the same purposes for the ten preceding years of Democratic rule, has been more than sufticiei* to pay the Slate debt six times over. The Republicans arc charged WfiM with an increase as already y-

Staled of. fiy.'t'.l.lor 1,1 With thc Scutiicrl's permission, we will claim a credit for the amount charged for tho year lSi'rO, that year belonging to the •lVirwilil'crous Democratic period.
