The Uepuhlb an Idea that "a national debt Is a national blessing" has been exploded by tho enormous burdens which our public Indebtedness has levied upon the national Indu dry. K«tlmatlng the present Indebtedness at three thousand millions of dollars and Iho annual interest at one hundred and eighty millions of dollars. In sixteen years and two thirds of a year tho people will pay In Interest just tho amount of tbo Indebtedness, leaving the principal of the debt unpaid Just as It was. Tills Ulus(ration shows how Interest consumes Hie subdnnco of the people and a public debt mart# ign* iho Industry of the country, stop the inici'cst upon tho public debt, retrench tho expenditures of tho (Jovcrnment to even double what they were under lb" »-*«*«"xtra. tl.»n of M. j..•’.•«a.xa.v, and maintain the public revenues at tho present standard, In about seven years thiuprwont Indebtedness would bo t'Aiua lied. During tho war tho people were called upon to saerllloo party, and c..ntnbiite llu'lr means freely to maintain the i.degrli v of Iho nut Ion. Isihero any reason why Hi' same patriotic considerations should n >t Inilueiieo Hie public mind now now to free 11,,. <ioveriuuent from tho incubus of an com m ois public debt, and lighten tho burdens which it Imposes upon labor? Why has Iniiub'i'ill oi ba n attracted to our shores ivom all the obi governments of the world? Our lullierto free institutions have hail their Inlliimice In producing that result, but comparative free lorn from taxation and the bittennent of Iho physical or material condition of the Immigrant havo had eijual weight.

I desire more particularly to invito your attention. TAXATION. No other nation on the face of the earth has ever been taxed ss our nation Is to-day taxed. No other people on earth have ever been so oppressed with the weight of taxation as are the people of these United States to-day. It will be answered, however, that no other people ever experienced such a war as that which we have been waging for the last few years: and that this burden of taxation Is the neceseary consequence of the conflict in which the two sections of tho country have been engiged. 1 think that I can show you, my fellow citizens, that this taxation Is not in consequence oF the Immense expenditure In the war, but that It grows out of a scheme to enrich the capitalist* (d'tho country, to tho oppression of the great hone and sinew of tho land. [Cheers and cries of "You can, that,”] I think I could-*7 show you, If 1 had tbo tUpe VasVswm oein Hk 0 I , ,WiiroTrbT i «&.!"pS?o.» K war and sustaining the Government, has gone Into the pockets of tho pack of cormorants w iio oro to-day preying upon tho very vitals of our people. Ol'R NATIONAI. I>Jl*T. Why, from tho report of the Secretary of the Treasury, its far as ft Is already ascertained— no man knows what It will be—but as far as that debt is ascertained already, it is over twenty-live hundred millions of dollars. An Imiic use sum! A sum so vast that the human miml cun scarcely contemplatelt—can scarcely grasp Ii; wo are lost when we endeavor to grasp It in the mind by the power of number. I'wt ntv-live hundred nulllons of dollars! that ptinlic debt is represented by what those latter day politicians call "government bonds!’’ They coma tons in various shapes—in the form of ••legal tender"—In the form of .'>-'Ju’s, 7.:: I’s, 10 M’s, and God knows how many other forms. It is Mifllclent, however, for tho purpose, that we understand that these are premises of the government to pay that amount of money, together with tho Interest that shall accrue upon it until It Is paid, that Interestto he paid annually, or semi annually. It is an immense debt. Wo know tlllt wo have to pay upon that debt one hundred and forty millions of dollars annually; and that the greater part of that amount wo have to pay In gold and silver. Wo know that, If we are true to our Government obligations,eaeb dollar of this twentylive hundred million dollar* U to be discharged by the people of tbl* country. We know that discharge must come through tho labor of the country, under the present financial mansgement of our affairs. These are facts that can net bn disputed. They stand out In 1k>UI relief to tho observation of any man who will take the trouble to look Into our llnanclal ondltlon, that he ean not deny that under this Republican management, the burden of taxation has shifted from the capital upon the labor of the country. THK mrRHKNSOF TIIR OOVKRNMKNT I’l.ACKD rroN i.AnoH. My fellow citizens, it has always been tbo DomoeriRlo doctrine, that the wealth of the eountry ought to support the burdens of the country; that that Which need* the protection the Republican party td stlanuon ftSttiOlernm'. that equitable rule, and take the burdens ol the Government from tho capital and place It upon tho labor of the land. 1 can demonstrate the proposition so clearly that no man, who Is honest with himself, dare deny that I am right upon thl* question. Yet this Republican party havo abandoned this former theory and practice, which required the wealth of tho nation to support the burdens of government, and have transferred thorn lo tho shoulders of the laborers of the land. And no sophistry can be nsed by politicians, nor any charges of disloyalty against those who make this assertion, can cover up from the public the startling fact that this Is true. TIIK won TARIM'. How do they make the lal>or of tho country, then, hear this crushing weight of taxation? I will toll you bow: In tho first place they resorted to a high tarill', and they raised the greatest possible amount of revenue from the imposition of duties upon such articles as the masses of tho people of this country arc compelled to use. Now, In the good, old I>emocratio days, when they supported tho government by a revenue tarill', wo had low duties, comparatively, upon the necessaries of life. Then It was, my fellow citizen*, that a man with a family could buy hi* two pounds of tea for a dollar—could buy his sixteen pounds of sugar for a dollar; he could buy Ms dye stull'i and medicines at low prices. How Is it note-Aouo Is it now? Instead of getting ten pound* of coffee for a dollar, you now get three pounds for a dollar; Instead of getting sixteen pounds of sugar you now get only flve pounds for a dollar; instead of getting your modtdno-that wblvh Is necessary to restore you to health when you aro slok—and those siufls which It Is necessary to dye your clothes with when you desire to manufacHiietbem, at tho old prices, we now have to pay three or four times as much for each one of those articles. Why is it? Ttto Government of the United States has levied *0 enormous a tariff upon these things that they can not be brought Into this country without paying at the rate of nearly three times equal to the original cost of them. Now, what I say in reference to coffee,sugar and commodities of that character, bolds good in regard Hr the whole list of articles that are consume.! by the people, that can not be produced among ourseivesy but must be had from foreign parts. Why is it that coffee is

whnt aort of protection do they give you In your sphere? None at all! Tho great farming Interest of this eountry—the great laboring interest of the Weet-1# entirely Ignored by this Republican Congress. When they give ua nothing In return, except the privilege of paying them lust what they see lit to ask us! The same thing Is true In regard to Iron and steel, and manoHictured articles of hardware. Before the adveut of this Republican party to power, you could buy railroad Iron, and net It delivered In thisoonntry, at from $2."> to f3!i a ton. What Is It now? You can’t get a ton of it laid down any wherein this country for less than about$1)0. Why? Because this Republican Congress has increased tho duty upon railroad Iron, merely for the sake of protecting Pennsylvania manufacturers, until they compel you to pay a bounty of more than f iO for every ton of railroad Iron you buy of them! While thle is the fact in regard to railroad Iron, it Is alio the fact In regard to iron In all the forms In which It Is consumed in this coun-try-entering Into your plows, your axes, your saws; and Into every aort of agricultural Implement. You can not buy one of them, or use them, or the other articles of which I have spoken, without paying Into the pockets of those who manufacture them, In the Iron region of Pennsylvania or In New England, more than the amount of tho original cost of

the article!

Well, If the country derived any revenue for the support of the Government frpm this, It would matter less; but, lu all these things, the people are not benelitcd, no revenue Is derived from this system of taxation: but It »* So much for tho operation of the tariff thoy have Imposed upon the nation. I desire to see the country go back to the old system of laying duties for revenue alone, and letting the manufacturing part of tho land take care of itself as tho great laboring Interests have had to do from time immemorial. QOVKRNMENT RONDS. But, to return to the question of theso bonds. Now, It will be recollected that, at the breaking out of the war, It became necessary for tbs Government to strain Its credit somewhat to procure means to prosecute the war; and what did It do then? It issued what were termed “demand notes," bearing six per cent. Interest. They answered the purpose, because the people took them. They got tired of these, and then the Government issued what Is called "legal tenders," or ••greenbacks," and passed a law of Congress reoulnng that these “legal tenders," or “greenbacks," should i»e received In ttia»payment of tho ordinary debt* of the country; that whenever a man Was Indebted hU tender of these “legal tenders" should bo an acquittance. The courts of the country sustained the power of Congress to do this thing, and they decided that it was legal to thus discharge the Indebtedness in tho eountry, even though an obligation had been given payable in gold. Mr. Chase was then Seeretary of the Treasury, and pretty soon announced that we were getting too much currency In the country; that it would be dangerous, that we bad too roueh money; and some sebeme must be adopted by which the amount of currency In tho country could be curtailed. Ho made tbo proposition that th» Government should issue bonds; and thoy adopted that proposition. And then from time to time, theso bonds— .V20’s, 7-30’s and 10 (O’s—were thrown upon the market and were sold, the treasury receiving the value of them In “greenbacks," with which thoy paid the soldiers and the "xpensea of the Government. No one saw—no ci' uld see, without reflection, any particular purpose in changing the mode then In operation. We could'nt see why it was that they were not content to Issue tho currency In the form of ••greenbacks,” and let It go Into general circulation, Instead of resorting to bonds, which bore from (J to » percent, interest, and more, according to tho price of gold. They told us It was necessary to reduce the currency; that, If we continued to Issuo "greenbacks,’’ the volume of currency would bo so grout that tho time redeem Them from the holders-and all would go well. The Congress of Urn United States listened to these charming stories about the necessity of resorting to governmout bonds; and l>etore long they were upon the market. They didn’t bring their full value, It is true, but went into the hands of A, B and (’, who had money to purchase—who put them Into their safes, and semi-annually draw their interests upon them,

In gold.

TIIK NATIONAI. HANU». This scheme didn’t afford opportunity enough to gratify the ambition or cupidity of many moneyed men of this eountry; something else must be done In order to enable them to live without labor. They must get up a splendid banking schemo-make these funds .tnus Issued the basis of tbo capital of the banks, and so make the people pay the interest upon the bonds called “ banking capital,” and at tbesame time let tbese bankers make whatever profit they could by Issuiag the currency denominated " bank notes" or" national currency." It was a nice scheme to make money, but rather a ruinous one. The Government “ legal tenders" would have been worth just as much as, and no more, a( any time, than these bonds. The currency furnished in the shape of “legal tenders" was just as good as, If not better than bank currency; and we could have, by pursuing the course of issuing "legal tenders," instead ol bonds, dispensed with national banks, saved She Interest upon the nations! bonds and the profits we pay to the bankers, and had Just as good currency as we bad ever bad. But that wouldn’t have suited some people In the country! It wouldn’t have enabled bankers and bondholders to fleece the great mass of the people, for th«lr individual benefit. lienee they objected to furnishing tho country with “ legal tenders," but must have bonds that would drnw Interest, making them payable In gold—making them the bads of these banks— that they might not only draw their gold interest upon these bonds, but make over thirty per cent, profit (as many banks have done In these last years) upon the labor of tbo

eountry.

Because the currency is not as good as la those democratic days! Rut whose fault is that? Suppose our currency Is not as good, T admit It Is only worth sixty cents to the dollar, whose fault Is It? The fault of thl* Republican Congress, who, by their folly and their attempt to Inaugurate in this country a new scheme of finance, havo reduced our currency to this pit-

iful valuation.

Hut. again; they, while doing this — while imposing this burden of taxation upon articles of necessity—have attempted, by the same Hirin', to put Into the pockets of New England manufacturers a bounty such as never was heard of In this country before. Why do we don? Why, these New Engfafid men are their friends, and thev alway* have pakl for their elections, and have always furnished them money to carry on their contests. They aro nlwifjr* In C(»r<vc neg-cA «# cognizing tbo black man "os a man MM a brother —the perfect equality of tbs races! ’V hat pay do they get for all this? I will tell you: These new F.ngland men are engaged In the mahufasdureof cotton geode, muslins, calico. hardware, iron, and the various things that arc produced in this eountry. The raw products we furnish them with, and they are engaged tn fhetftasmutotton of them. There are the wooden nutmegs t«o;f had like to have

The Congress of the United States Imposed tremendous duties upon these articles, and it works In this way: You ean gnSacross Into Canada and buy a yard of coarse mns.ln, such

This is the practical working of this thing. s’V then, to enable those men to 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, a« 1 have already said, that the people may tie fleeced by these banks, not only in the way of Interest on the bonds, but actually by the banks themselves. It I* only astonishing that tbs people will sit quietly down and see themsetvea thus robbed, without any necessity; for 1 repeat onee 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 enrrenuy than It now basin circulation, while, at the same time, costing ue natbtng in the way of Interest upon our Indebtedness, nor profit and Htterest to tbs banks far the currency

TAXATION or BONDS.

But, before I proceed further iu this argument, I desire to call your attention to one other scheme of this Republic,, party to aid Hie capitalists of the county In oppressing the great laboring mar^*. When these schemes were Introduced ‘ a to the Congress of the U nlted State* for the purpose of issuing these bonds and putting them upon the market, the question came up as to whether these bond# ought not to be taxed as other property Wa* taxed, w hen the Government put these bonds Into the market and sold them lor what It could get. the purchaser became the owner of the bonds; they were hi# private property. He Invested hU money for the purpose of receiving interest while interest continued to run, and the principal when it became due. Ho did It for the purpose of living upon that interest—It was hi*support; he looked toil a# a moans of livelihood. The question was, then, a# to whether the Government ought not to pormlt them to be taxed. What did this Republican Congress tie? They said that not only should the Congress of the Uoircd Stales not tax l111# money or ihcse bond*, but it inserted a provision in the law which prohibited the l/’glslatnrcs of tho several States Irom taxingthem! What is the practical effect of that? Why, you sell your turn for 510,000, and invest tnat sum in Government bonds, and thus exempt It from the paym'nt of any tuxes, cither to the National Government, the State government, tho municipal government, or to the school district or the ro.nl district in which you live. These bond* arc ex"iiipt from those taxes, and yt>n niv dnw upon them *1,000, very nearly, in gold, u« Interest upon

You enjoy your $1,00!) of Interest, and contribute nothing for your protecttonin that enjoyment; while your poor neighbor, who earns hi# living by improving hlsland, by developing hi* resources, by feeding and taking csre of bis stock, bos to pay the immenss assessments levied tor State, county, municipal, and all other purposes, upon whatever he has. I# this right? Ifitis, then support this Republican government that exempted these twenty-five hundred million bonds from taxation. Ifitis light, support your Republican candidate for office; these men elected In the Republican party dare not lift their voices against this iniquity. Y'ou can not find one of their public speakers who has tbs courage to stand up before Republican bondholders and bankers, and declare it is wrong to tax the labor of tho country and exempt the capital of the country. They won’t

do it.

Still, tbese bond*, thus exempted, have gone into the hands of thirty or forty thousand people ef tbl# country, and you exempt that class, the capitalists—from taxation. Where I* the burden to fall, then? There Is but one place it can fall, and upon that class thl* Republican Congress has iinpo#ed 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 countrv, and I* laboring to develop Its resources, whether upon his farm or tn hi* workshop, every year, and sometimes three or four times a year, Is visited by the tax collector and assussor, and bis 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 ol the land nre exempt from these draft*, while the laboring man’# cross i# doubled and trebled. J ask you, again, are you prepared to submtt to this state of things tamely and quietly ? If you arc, you ore fit subject# for position in tho Republican party at the nexteiection. But, If you feel as men feel who desir* to hear just their portion of the burthen# of Government, and no more, you must range yourselves under the banner of that natty that believes in makmake tho capi’nif‘et’DIfi l i«»jA"'l,a*t^s j p>Y. i tii toctlon -thus exempting ns far a# possible the labor of the country from the enormous weight

that it Is now struggling under.

Let us look at the matter a moment. This Inequality, tbo more we think of it, and the stronger the light# In which we view it, continues to grow until we are lo«t in wonder at the Imprudence of a party of men who will thus attempt to Impose upon the country. Now, my friends, here aro twenty-live hundred millions of capital, in the form of these bonds, locked up in the safes, In the banks, and in the treasury of the United states. It I* of no benent to the country. It does no one any good, except the owner, who, annually or semi-annually, draws his interest. It does not enter into the enterprise of the country, It does not afford facilities for men who desire lo improve ami build up the country to do so. It I# of no more lieneflt to the public than is the miser’s gold that be hides in bis chest or buries

lu the earth—not a bit!

What is It that benefits the country ? It i# the public spirit ot our men who go into the forest and clear away the frees and shrubs, who improve their land, and run through it the plowshare, and mellow ft up and prepare It for,producing It# crops. It Is the men who engage !n building houses and barns, and making Improvements that beautify, as well as add to the material wealth of tbo country. It is tho 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 and bridges, ancl your steamboats, and your ships ot wav, who give an impetns 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 maintenance of rtvll liberty, and prosperity, and happiness among a people. What benefit to the country aro these sort ef men who have coileetrd their means and Invested them in bonds, and bnrted them away in a safe? Not a particle! Their capital Is Invested 1 they have no labor to bestow upon the country. They develop nothlng;but

fh* same Is true In regard to enlieoo*, and I have paid some attention to this, for 1 have been doing something Ip mcrchnudlM

Now. the question srlaea, are yon prepared to continue this condition ef things; or will you not treat these men who hold Government bond# ns you treat every other man la this community? Whyeaa’tynugive him what vou 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, be can not complain. He has no rltrht to complain, unless be assumes that the Almlghtv has endowed him with some superior qualifications, that will enable him to recline upon hi* Government bond*, and live upon the Interest, and have the rest of the community around him. with toll and sweat, labor for hi* 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 1m terest which he. thus draws on bis bonds.

Tn* noi.D nrrxRiwT.

But It is said that the Interest upon theso Imnds is payable In gold. 1 have before shown that the Supreme Court of the United States have decided thot tbese “legal tenders" are a sufficient payment of a gold debt. They have dostded that in reference to tho great business transactions between the great mass of the ,.eo P L of the country. And / decide that. If they are good enougn in to. nedlnary business transactions of the country, tbese very #»■»• “legal tenders" are good enough payment, for the gold bearing interest bonds, to the bond-

holder#

But then, again. It lo eaM, “Oh, yon eanft do thls-you can’t do this P’ Why? “Them bond# run—some ef them—thirty yean yet. ( admit they do run thirty yean. But when a man gets bit gold npon these bands, at six per cent, per annum, it 1* equal to about ten per cent. In the ordinary currency of the eomtey.

*

already told you that 1 am not alarmed at this erf. It will Increase the circulation very largely; it will, to a certain extent, inflote prices; it will ex-1 e, to a certain degree, a sort of apeeu’atio 1. 1 have no doubt many ^o *1 men may fail under it, a good many may overreach tbeassel ves, but it I# an evil that is not so great a»tbe evil# that we are now living under. We have to took tut lor that, and take care of ourselves in this emergency. And If we cun control the Cougres* of the United -States, so a# to substitute thia circulation for the bond# ot the Government, we ean, by that same congressional power, control the amount of circulation on hand, so as gradually to reduce it, until the country mav get down again to a healthy volume of currency, without even seriously feeling it. We cm nut control this hank circulation by these Got eoitneut bonde. We can not control them, I repeat, and they are liable to tt axi our country, at any moment with a circulation beyond, perhap*, what wc need; and then, when they turnish us with even that, they don’t hesitate to extort from us from ten to twenty per cent, for the use of it. And ail tbl*. too. when we ran have money in the shape of “greenback*,” Just a* good and useful, without pajing these taxes and this Mx per cent, in gold. Are you then for,"greenharks,’’ or “bonds." or “national

bank” paper?

Are you supporting these men and exempting this $3,.’>U0,00t*,iSH) from taxation? Or are you redeeming them in the same kind of money that the Government paid the soldier and his widow, and the man that supplied material, or anus, or ammunition, or otores during the war? Or arc you tor regarding them “as a

WHY.

But, again: Am I asked how I know that the redemption of these "bonds'’ in “greenbacks" will increase the currency and make money very plenty ? I will tell you why it will do it. Here are $V>00,000,000 of money In the shape of Goverumsnt bonds lying idle iu the safes and banks of the country. Suppose ycu compel these men to take •‘greenbacks” for them. When they get the “greenbacks" they don’t lock them up— ihey don’t draw any interest! What will people do with them? They will immediately go to seeking investments with them, amTihey will go into the Improvement of your farm*, and the building of bridges, and the erection of machinery, and the construction of railroads through the country ; and, in short tbey will be distribute, am >ng us in that shape that will make each cm ol us—Uie father, mother, son and daught. c —feel the beneficial effects ol this increase ol enricucy in the eountry. These are ihc bem tiis, and some of the blessings, that will follow the redemption ol this debt. 11 Jt, above ail, it remove!, from us the withering, blighting curse ol a national debt we arc unable io pi;, in any otucr way. “A NATIONAL DEitr A NATIONAL BLESSING.” Let me say, right here, that some men have taken the pu.*iti«7n that "a national debt is a national blessing!” How? How docs it bless a nation? I Will tell you: It bless* s a nation

by building up a wealthy das*, ami by tramp-

iring intt rests of

the country, such b .# he* u its eff ■>-t

and we would have absolutely nothing, sal they, “it will make money plenty.” i have have just said, to fall back on. 1 believe that, ... - .... . .

by this other mode, we msy maintain, to» considerable extent, the credit of the Government, furnish our people with a currencv, lUch os It U, relieve them from taxation for the payment of Interest on these bond*, and also relieve ua from supporting theee national bonks that have sprung up all over (be country, and are sucking at the vitals of ihe

country, like so many leeches. THE SCARCITY OF MONEY.

Now, It is apparent to every mao, who ha# thought upon the subject at ail, that we have not money enough In this country lo do the ordlnarv business of the country. Thev say that In New Y'ork money is plenty. But It don’t come into this country. You pass by nearly all our farm*, and you see the farmer living In a cabin. You see around Urn a bit of land: that be has no barn, but small stables. You ask him why be don t build him a more comfortable house for his family, and bis answer Is, “I would do It, but money is so scarce that I can not get it." Ask him why he does not dear more land, and pat it Into grass, wheat or corn, and his answer is, “I ought to do tt, I would like to do it, but money is so scarce I can’t hire the labor.” A*k him why be don’t erect a good barn, la which to store grain and hay—nls answer is, again, “I would like to do it, but money Is so scarce that I can not until money Is plentler." Go through the country, yon will find the bridge* anti roads out of repair, and you ask the people living along the road why the bridges are not rebuilt and the roads put in good repair: tbey tell you that the labor of the district is not sufficient, and money is so scarce that tbo county ce^lmls«■l<»n•"*’" reftase to maXe the neiwRary appropriation#. Y’ou go through an ..»ii*- «rauon rft'tlin country, rich In natural production.®, with ores in abundance in the cait'i. with a line surface for the cultivation of g*-dns and grasses, or for the grazing of stork, but see no outlet to a market; and ask the people, “Why Is It you have not a railroad, and are not able to reach some of the great citle* with the products of your farms?" The same answer comes, still again, “The country requires it; it would add to our wealth and prosperity, and develop the resources of tho country; it would enable us to live and feel that we bad something to live for; but there is no money in the country; iron Is too high; we can not cummand the capital to build up these undertakings." And, as to each one of these answers, you must feel, at once, that what they say is true. There is too little money in the country to go on with these

Improvements and enterprises.

THE KFKKCTS OF REDEEMING BONDS IN

“GREENBACKS."

What, then, my fellow citizen*, will the redemption of tucse “national bonds" in “greenbacks" do for the country? It will afford us money enough to Improve our farms; it will put Into circulation a vast amount of currency that will go Into the business transactions of the country; and we caa then better our homes, build our bridges, repair our roads, construct our railroads, open up these avenues of trade with the outer world, and enable this country to become what the Almighty designed it to become under the fostering industry and care of the farmers of the West; it will become a great, powerful, rich and contented country—such a one as we have a right to hope to see tt become under proper legislation on the part of the Congress of the United States, and a proper management of our financial affairs. Rut, if this Republican policy is to be persi-ted In—if every dollar you earn upon your farm* 1* to go to pay the Interest on the public debt, and to pay your state, county and municipal taxes—at the end of ten, fifteen or twenty years, you will find yourselves poorer in this world’* goods, but richer in the practical effectof Republleau legislation, I can assure you. [Laughter. |

THE ALARMISTS.

But some people say the currency will then be large. Let us see how that Is. you can’t scare me by telling me that a million of tbese ••bond*’’in “ greenbacks” will increos* the value of my land 100 per cent. Y’ou can’t scare me by telling me it will place in my power the means of Improving my farm, and building my house and barns, and repairing the roads, and constructing railroads so that we can open up means of communication between the separate sections of the country. The people will not be alarmed at any such proposition as this. NoJ I will tell you the rnffiV ’'ffou! r “who arehoiijinCT them for the sake of the Interestf; ther are the ones; and there are some now, prongbTy, within the sound of my voice. I know that they have been, for weeks, like the Hebrew king, shaking In their shoes on account of tMs storm of indignation that Is arising throuch tbiscountry. [Applause.] I took up, a sheet time ago. a little paper publi-bed up u l Hie county scat, and that now belongs to a baud of aristocrats. The first thing that attracted my attention was an article asking, “What, in the name of common sense, Is Jim Allen going down to Bridgeport to make a speech for?" And then came the Inquiry If “Jim Allen don’t want to run for Congress again?" I don’t know who wrote the article; i don't know anything about it, and I don’t care; but f can tell the writer of it one thing—whoever be is that he is a bondholder. He is In favor of the continuation of this Republican party, and be was devilishly afraid to learn that “Jim Allen" was going to open, in bis section of the country, upon this question. [Laughter

and applause.]

WHAT THE BONDHOLDERS ARE DOING. Rut I seethe bondholder* are alarmed, and I will tell you how I know it: They are already establishing their presses in this country; they are already sounding the alarm cry. How are they proceeding to do it? They have net the manly courage to eome out in their papers and advocate a continuation of this system of taxpaying. They have not the manly courage to do that. Tbey won’t meet me upon the stump and discuss the propriety of redeeming these “ bonds ” In “ greenbacks." How are they working? They are pretending tbey are the greatest mends of reform In the world. They are for economy, and they are going about endeavoring to institute a feeling of jealousy between different sections of the Democratic party—talking about honesty. By the way, when I hear one of these Republican politicians talking about bis political honesty, It reminds me of a fellow named Phelps, In my part of the country, who has had the reputation, ever since I have heard of him, of being a horse thief and passer of counterfeit money. Aed you never meet him but he Is boasting of how honest he is! And, when you come across one of these Republican politicians—whether an editor ef e paper or not, and he beglne to talk about honesty, keep your hands on your pecketo—he want* to steal something. [Great laughter and loud applause.) I don’t mean that tn an offenalve sense—op iy in a Pickwickian sense. Be cautious about these politiciapa whothn* indorse themselves—who hove saddled the country with this enormous debt for the benefit of the bondholders. Look out for them when they begin to talk about eoonemy end honesty. I tell you, beware of them!

SOUNHNKoS OF DEMOCRATIC: FINANCIAL POLICY. The question then recUre, are you prepared to say that the Republican doctrine on this subject is correct; or will yon eome back to good old Democratic principle, and so arrange tLD matter as to make every man pay in proportion to what ho uses and what he enjoys, and in proportion to the protection that the government gives him? If you are, go with the Democratic party ! I tell you, you will never see Ihe finances of this eountry placed npon a healthy b^sis »gu:n until you see the Democratic party of This country again In power. There never has been a day when its finance# were in s< und condition, except when the Democratic party bad control of It. Without any di.»re*pect to the old Whig party, I, at the same time, beg leave to say that it was unable to manage the finances of the country a* well as the Democratic party them. Honest and patristic os that party was, its theory upon the subject of tariff and finances was not such as gave us a-settled financial policy—such as gave such a prosperity to the eountry as did the Democratic party. And you will never see the currency of the country in a good condition, and its finances properly administered, and the burdens of the country resting equally upon all, until you see the Democratic party fu power again. A QUESTION FOR EACH MAN TO PUT TO HIM-

SELF.

Now, when you go home to-night, my Republican, as well as my Democratic, friend, ask yourself this question, “As to whether the control and management of these financial matters in consonance with the course pursued by this Republican party will ever bring this country out of its present degredation;" and you will find it impossible to give more tbaa one answer to that question; and I will tell you why- 1 addressed the people of Jasper county at some length, a short time ago, and among the audience was a respectable gentleman from my own county, a man of Intelligent and Inclined to do right. After I had done I asked him; ''What do you think of these propositions? How do you feel about them?” Said he: “Allen yon are right. That thing ought to be done; these bonds ought to be cailud in and redeemed, principal and interest, in greenback*; the welfare of the countrv requires it; but I don’t think it will be done." I asked. “Why won’t you support H?” He rephed, “ You know 1 have always been a Republican, and I must go with the party.” Then I said to him, “But if it ia right, why don't the Republican party srfpport 4? Why not adopt that platform, and go before the country upon it ?” “Oh, don't talk that way." he said, and then, upon my asking him ‘Why not?” he answered, “You know very well that the men who bold these bond* are Republicans; tbey are Ihc moneyed men ot the country; and you know all these banks hr the country are controlled by Hepublieans: and you also know very well that this exorbitant tariff is a Republican measure, and the men who are interested in keeping U up are the Bepublicans in the New England States; and it is impossible for them to adopt this policy, and put it into a platform, if tbey believed it was right!” Now, my EteeubUcaa friends—you who are here to-day—I have no doubt you feel as he did; bat I ask you to act ee Mu,aadge with the party that holds tho poaltiaa which you Indorse. For I tell you, tat as long as you go with the Republican party, your condition will never be any better.
