The scene was on Superior St root, nl the lady question was standing i the siduwalk waiting for one of tint ,M. Tlits afternoon sun shone full wm lior, her dresn and tout ensemble iark'l l',!l' !lH wealthy ami refined, and rface was beautiful, but about the r'e. gray eyes there was a weary, oublcd expression, and the marble was almost death-like in its pallor, he ,kin was translucent, .showing the jiwiu blue veins beneath. It was rifeftly pure anil clear, but it was tinitimil Accepting an invllation to qi into the chemist's laboratory, the porter was soon seated in a spacious K)in, Mirrounded by thousands of rttles of all shapes ami sizes, and it conversation turned again upon the 0111.111 M'en up in the .street. 'That lady," said the chenihit, scrii?ly, " is an ancnicHVtrr. Tew have ly'idea how the deadly, damnable ibit is spreading. Kven in this city it miliers its devotees by hundreds. I id almost safd by thousands, and the ibaiul who prides himself on his wife's aiitiful complexion, the father who n'?.cs the pale forehead of his danglir, and the lover who is proud of, liileheis anxious about, the transparit anil clear complexion of bis sweet;irt, never dreams for a moment that is an unnatural effect produced by the of a poison which will sooner or lar uVtroy life. 1 ant not telling this ronation; it Is a terrible trutji, and could sit down and write off now a .UfWKJ names of ladies who are In the iWtof usingthtsdrugregularly.

A praexl chemist can tell jit a glance a pern addicted to this vice, and It has been y eustom for some years past to note iwh any person I meet who lias the ark of the arsenic habit upon them. I wore to show you that list you would astonished." "How is the drug usually taken?" " Sometimes pure, in minute dofes, .t generally in the form of Fowler's sotlon. For the first few months.maybo some ca-Hjs for a year, little or no efts ensue, but after that time the beauul pallor which you have seen Is proced. After a few years the wretched man liegins to feel her health giving iy, and decides to discontinue its use. as, it is too late! The faee changes a livid red, every one notices it, and despair she returns to the same urse, and receives the congratulations ber friends on her restored health, ter some years, however, the faee adually ehaiiges from the clear color alabaster to a dull, ghastly eomplexi like chalk; the wliole system, satuted with this mineral, gives way, and ually death mercifully ends Hllfo of ralysis Such has been the history of my of our wives and daughters, and, .less the strong arm of the law steps ami puts stringent rules on the sale this jwiaoii, It will be tho history of ousands of the present and rising genation." 'Are there any other drugs used for e complexion which have the same fects as arsenic?" "Xone which have such awful eonsoenees In their train, because there are other poisons which are habitually ken internally to beautify the comexkm, but great damage isboing done the use of cosmetics. Why, sir, I ive analyzed over sixty of the leading Biutie preparations, and I did not Hud which did not contain either sugar lead, oxide of zinc, or some other eparauons or lead. The amount va s from two to ten grains per ounce, :t in all it Is the leading ingredient." "What would bo the effect of the eonwed use of cosmetics?" " Hrieily this : Sooner or later, in prortkm to thu quantity used and the miency of Its application, the pores the face become packed with the inloblo material of the base, causing KbjMilsonlng of the minute nerves and xsl-vessels, and paralysis of the skin, tending even in some instances to the ek and arms. The paralysis of the in Is not dangerous of Itself, but It is 'We to bring on diseases of the throat, l respiratory organs, and it always '' the effect of making the skin vellow "l leather-like. Hut If thu conselOnces which follow the use of eosinetarc not so deadly as those which folthe internal use of arsenic, they are r more widely spread. I assure yon solemn fact that, to the best of my hcf. and I have given the subject exuded and close attention, 80 pur cent. tlo women between the ages of 25 1,1 0 use cosmetics in a greater ' less degree, and prolmbly 40 per "V between 10 and 25. People fail to ahzc the immensity of the evil. I have n i dozens of cases, and heard of hunw. more on good authority, of mothapplying these poisonous prepara- '? to their young children, and even ' infants a fw weeks old, ruining the 'Hiploxion for life. It Is a secret unhand trade in one way, for the wom1 eWom tells her dearest friends that ,() habitually uses a certain balm or Aovator. The manufacturers and

dealers who pander to this wretched tastta make no secret of their preparation, but advertise It far and wide, and it will give some idea of the widespread demand which exists for those poisons when 1 tell you thatdiiring the year 1878 there worn manufactured and sold in this country alone over 1,100,000 gallons of a certain well known patent wash for the face and neck. While on this subjeet I must not omit to mention a preparation, which I will not name, for the removal of freckles. As it certainly does remove freckles, its sale has enormously increased in the last two years. A few months ago I analyzed a specimen, and was horrified to find that It contained UiJ per cent, of corrosive sublimate. At present it has a large sale, and it is retailed at a high price." "Aro.the.ru any cosmetics which improve the skin and are harmless?"

" None, except fresh air and pure water. Carbonate of magnesia is quite extensively used, and is not, perhaps, positively injurious; but It makes the skin look tough and old, and In time stops the circulation of the blood In small vessels of the faee. Whiting has the same effect. The better and more expensive rouges made from pure cochineal, or cochineal carmine, are not injurious when used in moderation and washed off every night, but the cheap kinds all contain aniline, and are very poisonous. Hay-rum contains no ingredient which is chemically injurious, but even that is liable, if used too often, to dry up the little oil globules and make the skin dry and harsh." " I suppose the use of the poisonous cosmetics is almost entirely confined to women P" i " Well, not exclusively. I fancy many would be rather astonished if they knew the number of young men who participate in this evil with their sisters and mothers. And another thing, too, of which you may not be aware is, that there are hundreds of young men, mostly of the upper and upper-middle classes", who wear corsets. The habit is injurious to a young woman, but It is a thousandfold "more so to u young man, for physical reasons whieli I have not time to enterupoit. 1 did not suspect this habit until about a year ago, but since that time 1 have discovered that its existence I is by no means unfrequent." 1 A French Paper Describes Pinafore. Here is a French description of " Pina fore" from U Ttmps, Paris: "'The! Vessel of her Majesty, the Pinafore,' Is, we are informed, sung everywhere; the ? troupes of Christian minstrels, a pious opera corps, sing it ; M. Charles Godfrey, II. M,, Koyal Horse Guards, founds maVchcs upon it; never In a country of the Kugllsh tongue have there been seen a like vogue and fury. The poem is slight, and the music far from original, but it pleases through a sort of poetical echo of popular songs, mingled with buffoonery somewhat coarse, somewhat heavy, and altogether unique. It is a satire on, or rat her a picturesque tableau of, the English Is'aw, and the sailors, thu little ship-boy, and a sort of old shesutler amuse greatly the public, which sings everywhere 'Farewell, my On,' or, ' I call myself the little buttereap.' Capt. Corcoran is a drawing-room mariner who has never navigated, and who, when they speak to him of temjiests or maneuvers, or even of a simple crackling of the sails or cordage, replies gayly, ' I would like to sec that ; I nave een"lt. The Minister has named me a Captain, but I know nothing at all about what a ship is.' " A CaatleH About Sket Im Game. This being the season when game killed by shooting, and probably containing the pellets, is eaten, it may be worth while to caution those who consume the flesh of birds with aviditv that the proportion of instances in whieli shot Is found is probably small in comparison with the number of cases in which the pellets are unwittingly swallowed. It is a matter of speculation how much mischief a shot may do when passed Into the intestines, but the fact that anomalous diseases have lioen set up by the presence of yjry small bodies which nave become entangled in the folds of the miieuous membrane renders it desirable to put the public on their guard. Occasionally the most disastrous results havo, followed such small causes. We ltavo in recollection the case of a physician who died after prolonged and unexplained sufferings, from the impaction of a very small nail which had found its way Into a pudding, and was inadvertently swallowed. A little care will avoid this contingency, but, remembering that thu bird had been shot, some piuns ought certainly to bo taken to avoid swallowing thu missile.---landon tmcct.

DAJf. W. TOOKHERS. The "Tall Njreamere eftke Wabfc BxeorlatM the KepHltllMN rarljt Hd Nverely 4rralgH Ha f rlte!ple Nil 1U Metheda. Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees addressed a large audience in the city of Hamilton, Ohio, on tho evening of tho 15th. Ho began with a denunciation of the Republican party, saying that it waa tho first political pariy to join issue against free elections; it was tho first to Impeach tho virtue and intelligence of the American people, thereby pronouncing free government a failure; it was the first to clamor for an army at the votingplaces of tho people, for tho fixed Imyonet at tho noils, lor the bullet to regulate the ballot; it was the first to ask for Supervisors at elections, appropriately known as overseers, in tho dictionaries; it was the first to call in these overseers, together with Marshals and United States Commissioners, and other appliances of Federal force with which to coerce and dictate the results of election. Mr. Voorhees continued: You all heard the furious outcry of tho Horitlblfciui ro- on tltf) Hiiliji-ct of tho recwit t'JCrti Hlon of Conjrre. There wa a RlmultHiieoii!. iiroloiiKtHl, agonized, hysterical scream from Hcpuhlloan wiurees all over th country against tho Democratic party because wo aworted our faith in the capacity of the people to govern thctnsclvea, and our determination that they cliould do so without let or hindrance from military ower. This was the head and front of our offending, no moro and no lea. We were true, absolutely true, to the lted-rock principles of the Constitution, while the leaders of the Hepunllcan iwrty, aa all the world known, proclaimed on tho ifoor of both branehea of Congress doctrines so subversive of Uiovery life of civil liberty that the tories of the He volution would have been abamed to own them. Doeathis sound to some of you like an cxHggeratcd statement, a statement mado merely for political effect ? If so, let us examine for a few moments tho extent to which the Federal Government has already arrogated to itself tho right by law to seize upon every species of local elections, control them by force, and manufacture majorities out of minorities. Are you aware that there is now a law of Congress, enacted by the Republican party, In full force at this hour, which asserts the control of the Ked6ral Government and the Jurisdiction of the United States Courts over every election of every description that oan possibly occur in any State or Territory, iu any district, county, city, parish, township, school district, municipality or other territorial subdivision, if any other can lie found? Such Is the fact. Federal power has clutched control of every voting; precinct in the States and Territories. In proof of this, allow me to read in your hearing1 section ri,.7 of the Revised Statutes of the United States: " Every person who, by any unlawful means, hinders, delays, prevents or obstructs, or combine and confederates with others to hinder, delay, prevent or obstruct, any citizen from (loin? anv act rcouircd to be done to nunllfy

him to vote, or from voting in any State, Territory, or district, county, city, parish, township, sehoo! district, municipality or other territorial subdivision, shall be lined not less than fcVW. or be imprisoned not less than one month, nor more than one year, or bo punisneci uy ootn sucn nno ami imprisonment. What kind of an election escapes the pro vision or tins section It has U'cn asserted over and over again. In Congress and elsewhere, by the Republican loaders and newspapers, that the power of the Federal Government has liecn applied only at times and places where MemlKirs ami Delegates in Congress were chosen. This Is all false, as the section Just read conclusively proves. If you were holding an election for Mayor of this city, or for councllmcn in its various wank, and one person should by any unlawful means, such, for Instance, as a quarrel on the street, hinder or delay another In voting, the person so offending K by the express tenns of this section, made liable to a tine of not less than f.VX), or to Imprisonment not less than one month nor more than one year, or to both such fine and imprisonment. If you were engaged in electing a Clerk, an Auditor or Sheriff, or any other county oflleer of llutler county, the same Insolent Interference by tho Federal Government Is provided for by this law. You are not free from Its aggressive and Inquisitive power, even in the humblest details of your locsl affidrs. In the language of the law Itself, an election In a township or a school district is subject to the domination of Federal rule. Federal Marshals, Federal arrests and tho monstrous and disproportionate punishments of Federal Courts. Are you In favor or this law? Are you so poor and contemptible In yourown view or yourselves that you feel the need of the restraining and penal Influences of such an enactment as this? Are you willing to admit that you cannot trust yourselves: that you are wholly Incapable of self-government: that you cannot even elect the Justices of the reace, or the Trustees of your townships, or tho officers of your school districts unless the supervision mid threatening authority of the Federal Government Is extended over your Have tho American people. In fact, sunk so Jowas this? Have the people of Ohio consented to this servile doctrine? The loaders of the Republican party say you have; Charles Foster says you have; John Sherman says you hare. They say that this usurpation against local self-government shall stand; that this legislative insult to you, this enactment of distrust of your virtue and intelligence shall remain permanently In the statutes of your country. I say it ought to be repealed, expunged, torn from the pages of the law with every circumstance of Indignation and abhorrence. What do you say? Do you believe la yourselves or do you want a master. That Is the exact issue. It is a very old one. and yet it sounds new In our times. Those of you who think you are not competent to maaage your local affairs, unless tho club of the Federal Government Is wielded over your heads by United States Marshals, District Attorneys and partisan Judges on the Federal bench, will, or course, and with entire consistency, vote the Republican ticket vote for Foster, who has the same op In km of you that you have of yourselves. Who do you suppose would vote with you If they were here? Kvcry tory of the Revolution. Not one of them txdleved In the natural rights of man to Kivoni himself without a master. Tho odious nrd North, Prime Minister to George III., would bo a stalwart Republican In this eontest; and tho old Imbecile King himself, if alive and a citizen of Ohio, would, on the wellknown principles of his long and tyrannical reign, be for Foster, and a strong centralised government. If you could resurrect from their infamous graves all those who sided with Great Hrltaln against the principles of Jefferson In the days of the Revolution, not one would fall to sustain the Ifkh prerogative of the Government In stamping out local and popular sovereignty. If every perfidious Stuart who over sat upon the Scottish or Kngllsh throne could Ik? exhumed to-day, they would, nn thin Imuo. xealotislv sunnort tho Renubllchii party. All such. In ullages, as have disbelieved In hnmsn freedom, asid individual responsibility: all tho blood-stained monsters who have dinted tho earth with war to crush the asairations of tho people for homo rule and civil liberty, would, If hero, contribute to the campaign fund of the Republican party, subscribe for Its newspapers and vote for its candidates. All this Htid moro would follow In the logical order of things. It was rotmrted not long ago that a very rich man of New York, bvthunaraoof Jay Gould, blurted out his willingness and desire to pay millions for a Government of high centralised powers; a Government not dependent upon tho popular will; a Government which would govern, coerce and hold In subjection the people, Instead of allowing them, according to tho Constitution or their fathers, to govern themselves. This was simply a somewhat Indiscreet but Very accurate proclamation or the spirit and purposes of tho Republican party. It lias the sanction of all such leaders of that parti' Hro without fallh in man's capacity '' right to govern himscir: of all such as are rich and prosperous, and desire no nos-dldllly of a change; of all retired capitalists, whose Investments are eating up the mortgaged lauds and labor of the people, like incurable cancers wrecking the human body.

Th-cnt mm a hd strutftri' at the vary beginning of mir Government ovw this vwy MtM'stlon. There was a party vary formiditblo In talents, and very cwMldeoabto In Hiimtx'ttt, whieh bad ho faith In the people, awl boldly declared Its litrtdelity to popular lilMltiilions, The Kepobliemi party, with Its KiiMtrvisnii,u Marshals, ItsCoiiimlsidonerS, Ms feples. It Federal Courts, and its deep distrust of the AinerieaH people, everywhere, hi township, eouiity and State, Is the revival of the old dorMHkt Federal party under :t different name, but with similar Ideas. The circle is almost complete, and the enemies or free government iu this eountry have almofct reached the point at whlea they lMgsn their nefarious schemes nearly a hundred years ago, We more frequently see ami hear Alexander Hamilton now quoted a an acceptable authority on the principles of government than ever before, if he oould arise from his premature and bloody grave today he would have a following such as he never had In his tttcttme. now retresaing nts doctrines would now be to Jar Gould, Charles Foster and John Sherman! They are all afraid to trust the jxyiple. Hamilton was a delegate from the State of New York to the Constitutional Convchtlon at Philadelphia in 1787. He drew up the plan of a Constitution In all Its details and presented It to the Cdn vent ton. I.y Its provisions the Chief Executive of the United States, by whatever title known, was to hold olHce for life. How regal and permanent that sounds 1 Nine-tenths of the holders of interest-bearing Government securities. National bankers and capitalists, out of trade generally, will indorse that position now not all or them openly rather than risk their investments to a change of Administration. They are fixed comfortably, and what they want Is permanency. They are cm top, ana they want to stay there. They have the advantage of the millions below them, and they want to keep It. Uy tho plan presented by Hamilton the Senators were also to hold office for life. This was Intended to create an aristocracy In the mamurement of the Government similar to tho Mouse of Lords la Kngland. As to the States, and the people of tho States, they were to be trusted with nothing. Tho National Executive Committee, says the President, was to appoint tho Governor of tho various States; tho Legislatures of the States were to be permitted to enact laws, subject, however, to revision and entire repeal by Congress; and all the courts of tho States, " for thedetermln-

ation or an matters or general concern," were to bo created by act of Congress. And even this vast scheme of consolidation fell shoit of the wishes of Hamilton and his roHuwers, as it does now, nerhsps, ot the more advanced and stalwart leaders of the Republican party. Hamilton boldly stated that it by no means came up to his conception of a model Government. In discussing the proper Executive head of a Government he said; "The English model Is the only good one on this subject. Tho hereditary interests of the King were so Interwoven with those of tho Nation, and his personal emoluments so great, that he was placed above the dHiiger of being corrupted from abroad, and at the same time was sufficiently Independent and suHiclcntly controlled to answer the purpose of tho Institution at home." In nrcscntintr his draft of the Const i- ! tutlon to the Convention, he also said, spoakingoi tno American stenaio. tnat it snouiu ne on tho same model as the House of Lords in England, and that no temporary Senate would have Hrmness" to carry out Us proper functions." Thew principles of Alexander Hamilton, and of the Federal imrty at the formation of our Government, show the fountain Trom which have descended tho principles or the soculled Republican party of our times; rim:iplc monarchical In their tendencies,repugnant to the sclf-rcsnect of the neotdc. offensive to j every sentiment of manhood, and in opposi tion to me spirit ami tneieiter or me uontitution. I have heretofore foretold somethings in the political world which have come to pass. I predict now that the eomintr issue in the near future Is to lvo between the broad principles of Jefferson on the one hand, and the monarchical doctrines of Hamilton on tho other: the latter supported by all tho monopolies, banks, and hoarded Interest-gathering wealth In the land. Jefferson announced that he who feared to trust the people was a tory by nature;. That was his mode of du-cribitig an enemy to free government, and wu are rapidly finding out now who are tories, or enemies of Tree government, by the same rule. The leaders tt the Republican party Insist that you ought to surrender the principle of self-government, and of free elections in the North, iu order that the bayonet may la? ued, according to the forms of law, at the olls In the South. For overs' piece of wicked and villainous legislation. Inspired by the hearts of designing men who believed In despotism and not In the people, tho South is held up and railed at as an all-sufficient cause. If the people am to Ito shorn or their most sacred rights; curtailed or their rrccdom and Insulted, In their homes, you are told that something In tho Smith imperatively demands it. H. indeed, It was true that to govern the South we had to give tip tho Constitution, deprive ourselves and our posterity of Its protection, our condition would Iks most deplorable: but I deny that any such necessity exists. We cannot, nor are we called on to, govern one part of this country one -way and tho other part another way. A Southern State is In this Union exactly as Ohio Is. Whenever distinctions are made lietwecn Stjjtcs or the people of Ststes the Union ami the. Constitution ate tied h destroyed. Hut you are told by the great iMditieall'lmrW-es f the times that tho people of tho different Southern States are not wHiducting themselves properly on certain subjects, and therefore you should east away your own liberties in order to regulate by force their domestic affairs. You are also stimulated to this course by a constant stream of slander poured out on an entirely helpless and submissive people, a people who have submitted to ever Constitutional amendment and to ever other condition of reconstruction which the Government has Imposed upon them. It Is to the Interest of the Republican party to slander them. Every fault they have Is not only set down In malice ami conned by rote, but it Is magnified and multiplied by all the lens power of party machinery. An actual offense agslnst tho laws In thu South, such as havo happened every day and e-ery hour since the human race began, Is a sweet morsel, a delicious Item, a savory paragraph, over which the Republican editor rubs his hands in keen enjoyment. A thousand murders may and do occur In tho Northern States, but how flat and insipid they appear when dished up in our morning papers at breakfast in comparison with any act of crime, however commonplace Its motive, that comes to us. hot and sensat tonal, upon the breeses of the South 1 You live In a law-abiding State, as much so as any other In the Union, and more so than some of the loud-pretending' States of New England, yet I doubt If there is a county In Ohio in which Wood has not been unlawfully shed in tho htst twelve months. The same may be said of the rreat State of Indiana, and Berhatis of every other Northern State. Crime is Inhe rent in tne heart or man, ana it prevails everywhere. It Is without quarantine. It penena At.nvM IntltltilA Sa4kW 1 1 1 t m It 1 il II aul every climate. I hold that the people of the north, ana the peopi or tse sown, on tne average of eonduct and motive, are neither better nor worse than eaea other: and in this opinion the statistics ot erhmeia proportion to population win amply sustain me. The trouble, however, Is that the leaders and newspaper! of a powerful party in fas Korth are deeply interested In making yon believe the Southern people are worse than they are, When actual offenses do not occur froauently enough to answer the purposes of aa approaching elect ion, fictitious ones are manufactured for the occasion. Recently two prominent Democrats In Mississippi, both candidates for ooe, became involved in trouble, and Mr. Dixon was shot and killed by Mr. Barksdale. This la a deplorable event, and I slneerely hope the survivor will be punished, if he took the life of his adversary without cause. Rut is a homicide of this kind so great a novelty to the Northern mind that we are to be thrown Into convulsions on Its account? About three-quarters of a century ago there was a very noted homicide In the streets of Boston. It grew out of apolitical quarrel In which Mr. Selfridge, a Federalist, killed Mr. Austin, a Democrat, and from that time to this more than twice ten thousand eases of kllliag have been occasioned In the Northern States alone by political feellngand animosity. There is hardly a man In my presence who cannot recall one In his own recollection. et such events have caused but brief comment, for the reason thst heretofore no polltleal party has neen so neuneeu m u nmo nimcii5 On murder, ami hence be Interested in pro,cmming us prevalence waere u aip ww, nw

And when aetual murder runs short, he will supply the political market; he will meet the demand: he will kill them himself: h will tramtrorm himself Into a moater of murder oh paper, for the sake of party sueeess at the apjiroachlug election. I once heard it aM that In whatever direction a man's Interests laythere you ought to look for bis tracks. This is eertalnlya safe rule brwhlch to Judtm a political iwrty. The RepuMleaii party hi the only party on earth whose Interest are advance! by riot, vlolenee, disorder, resistance to law, bhtodsned ami munler In the South; and X therefore charge that now, as heretofore, in the supremacy of earpet-baglsm, every Ph scheme, prayer, hope, and jiurp. of that party is on the side of lawlessness and erime In the South: on the side of their own manifest gain if they can thus inflame the Northern mind. Would you believe a witness underoatla in ono or your courts on a question of eontract or damages, if he was as muot interest el on one shleoftho ease as the Republican, leaders and newspaiiera are in maklux you believe that the people of tho South are a horde of savages, who need military force constantly at their throats? I do not think you would. Rut we are now saluted on all bamU by the Republican leaders with a noisy and affected glee uver what they eel! resumption ff specie piiyments and an imaginary revival of business. After driving prosperity out of th country, and blighting tho homes of millions, the Secretary of the Treasury announces that sK.acte payments of debts are a fixed faet, and hi.ve come to stay. Do you think that is true? Do you think the delrts of this country. puMle and private, are lieing paid In specie whoa demanded? Can you pay your debts in that way? You owe your neighlior a hundred dollars and on the day a falls due you have a hundred do Mars In the notes of a National tsuik Just across tne street. Your neighbor has been to hear Sherman or

Foster, and he believes specie iiayments are here, and he demands specie. You have also heard that everybody has resumed specie payments, and you go at once to the bank, present its notes, and ask for specie across the counter. With a slight grin of contempt for your ignorance, the banker will hand you f HD9 In greenbacks In redemption of the banknotes you tender him. That is all you will get there. You commence, then, seriously inquiring whore you can get the specie with whieli to make a specie payment to your neighbor who Is still waiting. 1 will tell you bow you oHn get it. There Is a plaee In the city of New York where. If you ean present the right amount of greenbacks, you ean lawfully demand coin. If you will, therefore, take the cars there, hire somebody to show you the place when you reach there, and a polieemaa to protect you from being robbed In the vicinity of Wall street, you wilt be in a fair way to enjoy the luxury' or making one specie payment ir you live to get borne. What a precious boon this Is to you! How devoutly thankful you ought to lie that the eurreaey has been so contracted that your property has) shrunk neatly one-half In value and the very vitals of all the great Industries have bees torn out in order to reach such a glorioui consummation. Surety this priceless Messingwill compensate the country for all its losses and sufferings Sherman and Foster and their kind of people say it will. Seriously, do yem agree with them? Does not the whole thine look more like a "baraen ideality," astseoM chlcr who has gone to his rest expressed It, than the reality of specie payments? And yet. on this state of faets, a triumphant shout Sa raised that specie payments have been resumed, and a Secretary of the Treasury is running for the Presidency on that assertion. A. more brazen and perfectly transparent fakehood has not, in my Judgment, been proehdmed In the nineteenth century. There is simply no resumption at all, and no such thlna? as specie payments In existence In this countryThere Is a bold and audacious attempt to deceive the people on this point, but It will fail. I will tell you what has been accomplished, and all that has been accomplished. Fur many years the greenback was quoted below coin la value, solely from the fact that the Government refused to receive it for customs, and authorised the bondholder to refuse ft in payment of interest, and, after the act of Mareh, ISM, In payment also of the principal of the bonds. It was thus a currency stigmatised from the beginning by the Government Itself as an Inferior currency, and Its total destruction was demanded ami constantly threatened by a very powerful class.
