But before I do this, I want to notice other parts of his speech to-day. He

Just how he arrives at this um he does not venture to tell you but he is going to vote to cut it down 60,000,000 per year, without regard to the condition ol the country.

Do yon approve of the acta ot President Johnson in connection with these reconstruction measures?

I art not in favor of forcing specie payment by violent contrsctions of the currency, f am opposed to that, but am in favor of adortin each a polijy no the part of the government, as will ultimately, but grsduslly, bring us back to thst ancient landmark. Does my friend eppose thst? I put this question to' him. 1 propounded it to him yesterday and he was as silent as the grave He has ; had it twenty-four hours in his pocket, ' has addressed you an hour and a half and has not opened bis mou'h on the Bubjecr W ill he answer before he leaves this stand? I ask him to do so. Are you in favor of, adopting a policy which will ultimately, j but grsduslly, bring us back to specie pay- ; mcnt, or are you opposed to a return to j specie pavmentr You alt know that nothing interferes with the successful prosecution of business more than chitting and uncertsin vslues; J mre tnsn etiuting and i nd you know tht values wise than shifting and in as gold and silver are lues cannot be other- . uncertain, so long j as gold and silver are mere articles of of the nation, but of each individual, to dublic debt. I put this question to the gentleman: Are you in favor of adopting a would not answer this yetftefday, nor has he done eo to day. 1 demand that he i 1 1 snau answer I charge now that if you adopt the pol icy of the Indiana Democracy, you never can get back to specie payment, except by repudiating this debt. You all know that u io uui potssiuie tor tue government to ge j back to specie payment until some sdvanj tageous disposition is made of this debt, j and you know that individuals cannot do so, as long as the government cannot. j The dbt, theu, is a barrier in our way. j Now what do the Democratic party and Judge Cooding propose to do? They lay down three propositions: 1st. Thov are willing to n.iv the 5 20 bonds iu greenbacks or their equivalent. 2d. Thev proooso to abolish the Nation- ! si Banks and substitute legal tender notes in place of their circulation. 3J They favoi taioed volume of or an increased and maincurrency, which of course is to be legal tender paper or greenbacks. In his speech st Kushville, of which I hsve before me a verbatim report, Judge liooding laid down his views as to managing the finances of the nation, thus: would by act of Congress wipe out entirely tbe National Bank 8stem, and I tfould substitute a greenback dollar for every National Bank dollar, making the amount of circulation the same, only it would bo i. , . , , . , Bank currency.

Look at one of these notes 1 ,nd see what is printed on tbe face ot j jt Yon will find there these words: "The j United States promise fo pay to bearer" j the amount there expressed, whatever the ; denomi nation may be. Thero is a distinct prome to pay. VVhat is that payment to be made in? Is it to be in greenbacks? Do you pay a note yot ow vour neighbor wbsn yocr g?ve him auother exactly like it in its place? And let me assert another proposition just here These notes ot the government j specify no time of payraent. Look and joh will see tnt is so. ltiey are there fore due and payable whenever presented and payment demanded Judge Liooding as a Lawyer writ tell you that. If they can be paid in greenbacks,- then ut imagine Judge (J coding going over to Washington on a pleasur excursion, for ho has no idea going as a eeember of Coogres's, and marching to the Secretary's otSrce and pre sentmg a 5 legal tender tor payment. The (Secretary gives him another just like it. Then the J ud?e presents that one j tor paymeart, and the secretary pays it by j banding back the other, and so they go On from morning till night, and when night comes both parties are just where they ! started in tbe morning. 1 wsnt to know if the gentleman would eall that payment? These legal tender notes' are simply ettdences of the government' indebtedness; they are temporary expedients which were resorted to by the Natrrmr to keep the armies in tbe field. They wefe intended to be paid as soon as tho affairs of the nation would allow. Now yeeterdsy I asked my friend this question which he failed to answer then, but has answered to-day. Here is tbe 1 question: Do you propose ever to pay 1 these greenbacks, and if 60, what do you propose to pay with? I argued yesterday that these ate' the government's promises to pay, and that if they wefe aver partt it oou4d not be by er-

changing greenbacks for them,' but' that it must be io thst which all commercial nations recognise as money gold and' silver. The Judir h .lmitt4 tn rljv ' that these greenbacks are a part of the ' national debt. But I pressed the question on htm yesterday in my opening sud closing speeches "do you eier propose to pay this part ot the "dEbt? If you' do, what ; with?" lie could not but see that if he ( paid at all, it must be with specie, for be i could not py with anything else; and! then in bis Rushville speech he said: (and I quote him verbatim.) "tbe Democratic i party propose to pay it (the debt) accord- I ing to contract." He sw that he had j admitted thst the greenback circulation j was a part of the national debt. Tost it was a contract: thst it was a contract pay - able in gold; thit he had said the "Cemocrstic ptrtv rrotToses to Day according to' contract," i e., in gold; that he would, by his policy, have 31 000.000 000 in circula- , lion of this kind of indebtedness, that the government could not pay it according to ; debt?' His answer is, as you' have just you have nist heard ftom bis own lips, ' propose id It! it circulate." Just let it circulate let ft ; circulate. It will, he says, buy bread and meat. "Just let it circulate." That is just the same as saying that he don't propose to pay it at all, or in other words that j he would let it wear out in the hands of the people. Let the people lose it, or, to speak more plainly, repudiate it altogether, 1 his is the boldest declaration ot repudia- I tion I have ever heard. But now when ; the Judge has succeeded in getting this j 1,000 000,000 ot greenback circulation, j which, if ever paid, must be paid in gold,

as I have shown, about how long do you j Now if he will pay only in greenbacks suppose it would be with such a volume and is no other way, and he can get the afloat, before this nation would get back j greenbacks dnly by taxation I have biui to specie payment? How long would it ', convicted of being in favor of taxation, be before you, as individuals; would be ! But I say he is io favor of high tariffs able to Oonduct your business upon a firm j an4 oppressive tas. Why? Because and subs antial basts? j he will pay jus eiactly according to But Judge liooding having admitted j contract and in no other vcay." Now.schere before you to-day that greenbacks cording to contract, this tweuty one hunare a -part of the national debt, what does ' dred millions of debt will fall duo in IS this proposition of his to issue 300 000.- ! years. A very large amount of it will be 000 in lieu of National Bank circulation, j due in 12 years. And the Judge is going

and 300,000,000 on top of that, amount ; -o r ...I- : I to? It amounts just to this an increase of tho national debt just l00 000 000 : Oh, but the Judge says, t will take up j 300.000,000 of bonds. I'll argue that presently. But suppose he does, still he ! ha increased the debt 300,000.000. i What for? Sir, I ask you to say for what consideration' iou, by your own confessions, would pile another 3tJO,000,,000 of debt upon the people of this nation' - Now I want you to face them here to-day

and tell them for what consideration this 1 money the present Administration pays is to be done. You propose to issue them, j ooe htfodrcd millions per year.

Now let us go back a little and look at tbe Democratic platform and the doctrine of my friend, the J udge, on the subject of paying the 5-20 bonds. Tho Franklin Democrat, one of my friend's organs, contains the following paragraph: "Every vote given forjudge Wilson is rrtiA triuan Tor ni.rn nrirTii a nil nnnmn. i-fl . - . 1 . taxation. ri .4 r . i . T . t. say mu ia uv iiui., wu. m. c- - every vote given for the Democratic party . . . L . . - and for Judge flooding is a vote in favor of "high tariffs and oppressive taxation," and I proceed to prove it. Tbey say io their p'atform that they are willing to pay tbe 5-20 bonds iu greenbacks or their equivalent, but trrey are not willing to do more than' thst.. In his speech at KushviMe Judgo OoocTing used thrs language: (I quote his exact words quoted a minute ago.) "The Democratic party propose for the government to pay it the debtj according to contract, and in no jthet tcay:' Now there are $1,500,000,000 ot these 5-20 bonds. The Democratic part say they wilt pay in greenbacks and in no other way. Thai's what Judge Gooding says also. Now I want to ask the Judge a civil question, just here, which he must not fail to answer: Are you in favor of issuing greenbacks to the amount of the 520 bonds, and will you vote for such issue if elected" to CoWgress? That is a plain questiCw. 1 asked it yesterday and be did not answer. He bas not ansvrered it fn: his opening speech? to-day. You wilt see whether he will answer before he leaves this stand. I demand that he Shall. Now Congress has thus far never au thorized to be issued exceeding $150,000,000 of greenbacks. $50,000,000 of these have been retired, so' that under the laws enacted up to this date we cannot have but $400,000,000 of greenbacks. I con-ced-e that these $400,000,000 may be used-

WHOLE NO. 441.

in paying the 6-20 bonds, so that the Judge and I will not quarrel about that, A few months ago the Supreme Court nf tha TTnitarl States decided that urppnbacks could not be made a lesal tender for a preexisting debt that is, if you made a debt lsst week, and next week Congress authorised jrreenbacks to be issued, you could not use' these greenbacks to pay that debt. Now I ask the Judge this question: Are yoti in favor of abiding by the decisio'ria of the supreme Court of tne Uni tied States on constitution's1! ddestioos? Whether the Jude is willing to' abide by the decision of that Court or not the decision is tho law of the land to-dsy, and as a law abiding eitiseo I IVqH he will be compelled to abide by it. What then ia the result? It is that Congress cannot issue legal tender notes and use them to pay these 5 20 bocds. The Supreme I'ourt has said it is not constitutions! to do so. Then what follows? Why, that if the Judge will pay iu greenbacks, and in wnere are these -greenbacKs: A re tney in , where are these "greenbacks? Are t ihe vaults of the government? I think I not. They are in the pockets of 'he pftf "1 pie. How will he get them out of the pockets of tbe people, to use to pay their debt? I now ask the Judge this question: How will you get the legal tender notes with which to pay the 5 20 bonds? Can you get them in any other way than by taxation" tie didn t answer tnese questioos yesterday, nor has he done so thus ! far to-day. L press hitn to answer. He can give but one answer to these qtiCa tioos. He can only get them by taxaiiorf. t0 py according to contract t f . - There fore he must provide himself with the mooey, and ho can get the money on y by ' tariffs I and taxes will it take to raise twenty-one hundred millions of dollars in 13 year? With the rate of tariffs and taxation that wo have been having, which Democrats eay are high and oppressive, tie pay at the rate of one hundred millions per year. Andy Johnson's Administration could not pav anything. But by taking care of the them up to pay twentv-ono hundred , mill roes in 10 years, auu now 1 nave tariffs aud oppressive taxation. But 1 am not left to the logic of tbe Democratic platform to prove that the Democracy and Judge Liooding are in favor of "high tariffs aud oppressive taxa'tin'i r hes'a re n t re m e n were recnntlv i . . . . .....

Let. rae say a word here about the Tariff. Tbe gc'otJttfsn asks me two questions: "Are you in favor of the present tariff?" I atfSSi-r, tto. "Will you, if elected to Congress vote to? ftee aalt, tea, sugar aud coffee, of all tariff tax?" "Aro ytfu io favor of a fifStuls tariff or a protectirn tariff, which?'' I answer with reference to tVo e two questions, tbst tariff duties area legitimate source of revenue to the nation. Tbej are provided for by tho constitution. So long atfdtr.iee are levied with a view 19 procufitfg fere ii iie, tho government ia within its legitimate ppbers. Bat whenever it goes beyond that, and undertakes to levy duties or taxes upon one man to aid another in his btinaes?, of to make his profits pfeiter, it is acting in contravention of the spirit of the constitution. That in' what I understand by protection, and I sm oppoved to it. The government has no right to make one man pay tribute to another; to tax every plowshare that tarns' the soil, to make rich the iron manufacturer in the mountain of I'cnnsrania: to tax ,i,a millions ta make millionaires of tbe few; and I say further io answer to tho rarlemaik'4 nnestions that as far as Dossible consistent wuh the needs ol tne government for revenue, I would admit all articles of necessity, which enter into the consumption of the great; mass of the pSofHe. free frotii diity; Cut I eay to him, and I say to' yo't", tlfat I would atay vote for whatever might be necessary to furnish the government with necessary revCnue and no more. The gentleman ha J clared loudly ahou't ifiete tariff taxeo. Ke-" lo-t is what the people want, bil the Drmocra-' ty otf-r no reti-f. It is offered by th Kepubcati party. The polity of the Kepublieau parly wnl mrip t!ie people of these burthen. Once tto; Bc relieved fron'i theua', and this debt fun' ded according to the provisions of this bill, you will IihVf the b.sis of a financial system that will induce confidence.
