THE POLITICAL CANYASS IN INDIANA.

The National and State Issues Forcibly and Clearly Presented.

nncning Speech of Hon. Thomas A. Hcndrlcls.s Candidate for Governor, at the Academy of Music, Saturday Evening:, July 20.

[CONCLUDED.]

C4overuor Morton charges Mr. Greeley with favoring an immediate return to specie payments, and says that an attempt to carry out that policy "would result in panic, bankruptcy and postration to all the business interests of the country.

I am insufficiently informed to speak of Mr. Greeley's opinions on that subject. The Cincinnati and Baltimore 'platform, and the Philadelphia platform, almostiu the same words, favor an early resumption of specie payments.

I suppose we all appreciate the importance of a return to specie payments, so that our circulating medium shall be uniform and of one value. Bu,t I have no faith in schemes and plans of resumption. I believe it is to be brought about in accordance with the laws of trade and commerce by our increased production of the great staples which command the foreign market, so that We shall sell more than we buy abroad, and so that the tendency of gold shall be towards and not from our shores. Then resumption will be easy and natural,

The policy of this Administration is hostile to an early resumption of specie payments, aud, as I

believe,

In his recent speech in this city, Governor Morton made the following claim for the Administration and for his party "The Republican party has reduced taxation. We have now repealed all internal taxes, except on whisky and tobacco, to take effect in a few weeks. Within the past four or five weeks we ye passed bills repealing taxes to the

amount,

pf more than fifty-two millions.

fADDlause.l

rlVo

Of the accuracy of this broad statement you can judge when I inform you that it is within about eighty-three millions of dollars of being correct, in respect to the reduction of taxes two years ago The impression sought to be made was that General Grant, by economy, was able to pay the debt, although the taxes were so reduced that with so much less money collected from the people he could yet pav the debt.

The following is a correot statement of the amounts collected from customs and under the internal revenue laws during the last two years of Johnson's administration and the last two years of Grant's administration, the fractions of a million being omitted-.

During the two last years of Johnson's administration, from June 30, 1867, to June 30, 1869, the aggregate taxes collected was six hundred and ninety-five millions, and during the last two years of Grant's administration, from June 30, 1870, to June 30, 1872, the aggregate was six hundred and ninety-five millions being precisely the same, except, tne fraction of a million which fraction,

of tbe "oa/and bold statement

a reduction of taxes two years ago^t is inaccurate

aud.1D?°

Unions Der year

""iu this Statement I am not to be understood as saying that no reductions in the rate of taxation were made. In the modifications of the tariff, some articles were made free, and the rate on others reduced. I speak only of the fact that under the modifications as made, and with increased importations, the amounts collected have increased.

What then becomes of the boasted claim that General Grant has reduced the debt? The friends of Johnson claim that he made a greater reduction. The claim is without merit, if the process, was simply to tax and pay. That is the exercise of power. The only merit is to be found in economy, the reduction of expenditures, and thereby saving money, and thus paying. To boast of taxing and paying is, as I once said, the surgeon's boast of the quantity of blood he has taken from the arm of his patient.

Besides taxes, this administration has received from other sources enormous sums. Johnson left in the Treasury $135,000,000. The present accumulations are about the same. In 1870, there was received from lands and miscellaneous sources, about $31,000,000, and in 1871, from lands and miscellaneous sources, $35,000,000, and from the war and navy, about $26,000,000, which I suppose to be from the sale of war material, perhaps a part from the sale of guns and ammunition to France.

With the moneys received from all sources, a much larger reduction of the debt might have been made(lhad economy prevailed in the public service.

The platform upon which Gen. Grant was recently nominated, and which is an appeal to the credulity of the people, is a criticism and a satire upon his administration. Why? It declares that it is demoralizing to regard subordinate positions as the reward for mere party zeal and, adopting the sentiment of the Cincinnati Convention, on reform, declares that "honesty, efficiency and fidelity," are essential qualifications for office. It declares hostility to further grants of the public lands to corporations and that, too, after the party has given away th® most desirable parts thereof, equaling in quantity the area of many States. Could they not have spared Gen. Grant that blow, in view of the fact that on the day he signed the bill giving thirty-seven million acres (millious more than the area of the State of Indiana) to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, he illustrated his economy and zeal for the public interest, by vetoing the bill introduced by Judge Holman, and which passed by a unanimous vote, paying a private in the Third Indiana regiment for one or two horses he had lost in the war.

Why rebuke their own Congress for the abuse of the Franking Privilege, by declaring, for the first time, that it ought to be abolished But

the

Senate got the

better of them on that, for the very next week after the Convention, Senator Trumbull attempted to call up a bill then nending for

that

voted

Perhaps

who

years ago we passed a

bill that repealed eighty-three millions. [Applause.] And yet the public debt is being paid off at the rate of a hundred millions a year. [Renewed applause.] Three hundred and fifty millions have been paid off within the last three and a half years, and the process is still going on. [Hearty applause.] How is iUhat the Governmeni is able to pay off so much of the public debt, and yet at the same time reduce taxation so largely My friends, it is by introducing economy and retrenchment into every department of the Government, by an honest and faithful collection of the revenue."

You will observe that during these years the Internal Revenue has been reduced from $192,000,000 to $131,000,000, and at the same time the revenue from customs has gone up from $164,000-,000 to the enormous sum of $215,000,000.

as to enable them to make largejprofits, which has caused criticism and investigation in Congress. Our dSbt being made a foreign instead of a domestic debt, every six months the gold leaves the country to pay the interest. The great effort should "have been to negotiate the new loan at home, so that the interest would remain in the country, and pass into the channels of cdniftiefce. The English debt is largely held at home, and is therefore not felt by the people as if the interest were constantly carried out of the country.

How cau thejr endure that a man like themselves, shall be bound to such a woman, though all the domestic graces and virtues cluster about her, like glittering diamonds and iewels of gold. Not as politicians, but as men

our

mothers and love

our wives and sisters, we rejoice at the admission of woman to every new field of useful employment, wherein her elevation is advanced, and her happiness promoted.

The platform claims it as a merit, that the Republican party has "criminally punished no man for political offences it can not then be charged as a fault that Mr. Greeley became the bail for one charged with such an offense.

Now I would speak to you briefly of myself. I believe you know that I did not wish to be a candidate for the honorable Office to which I have been nominated that on the contrary, I earnestly desired not to be. In many respects it was very inconvenient. But the most powerful and independent convention that ever sat in Indiana demanded it of me, and I consented. I am now a candidate, and with profound respect make my bow to the people, and solicit their suffrage for myself and the worthy gentlemen with whom I am associated on the ticket.

It is now apparent that in their extremity, our opponents are resorting to misrepresentation and misstatement, both in respect to public and private affairs. I do not know how a man must feel, and with what disgust he must regard himself, who deliberately writes about another, what he knows to be false. Whilst he is to be abhorred, perhaps he is the object of commiseration. Whether he writes the falsehood to promote his own ambition, or because the hard necessities of his party require it, he is only despicable, because ho is a traitor to truth. But, my countrymen, we have this assurance, that the people, animated by a sense of justice and fair play, will not allow a man to be hurt by a false and an unfair blow. They will interpose their shield lor his protection.

In my address to the Convention, accepting the nomination, I expressed the opinion that the evil of bad government was quite as much chargeable to an irresponsible ring that controlled the administration of General Grant as to General Grant himself, aud I mentioned Gov. Mortou, Chandler, Conkling, Cameron and Butler as of that powerful and dangerous ring Was I not right Has it not been pl&in before all the people for many months? Has not the arrogance of that ring excited the burning criticism of the independent journals of the Republican party, and called down the denunciation of the ablest and purest Senators of that party Why, the selfish and defiant policy of the ring has contributed more than all else, to the breach in the party that now threatens its existence. The people will not en

bei

wjelcted by a few ambitious men

only^fo# thelselfish end of promoting and perpetuating, political power.. Over confidence in party power made them dery the people, and, as the end willsho they rushed on to their ruin. Bin His speech at Greencastle, Governor Morton displayed bad temper, had said, and attempted a reply,

W"Humble

flvor of putting down the rebellion. Ee wis not. I wai in favor of using all the meansto preserve the integrity of the Unfon. He was opposed to every war measure.

I exerted whatever politica

Sid official influence I had to carry on the war -Hecast the whole weight of his influence against the Government. I do not remember a speech he made throughout the war in regard to it of which he would now dare to quote a single seateuce, and what he now most desires in taking leave of the principles he has advocated all his life, is to leave behiud his record and cover the past with oblivion."

Governor Morton lias repeated this accusation until it ought to be stale and stupid to himself. At each time the people of Indiana shrugged the shoulder and turned the back upon the enemy. They felt that he knew what he was saying was not true. I do not believe he has ever yet influenced a vote by it. He lias known all the while that during the first month of the war I made a brief publication ot my views, in which I said that I regarded it as the duty of the citizens to respect and maintain the national authority, and to give it an houest and earnest support in the prosecution of the war, until in the providence of God it might be brought to an honorable conclusion. He has known that my conduct throughout was governed by that sentiment. My legislative service in the United States Senate commenced in December, 1863, and Governor Morton knows that I voted for the army appropriation bill of that year. It passed the Senate on the 22d of April, 1864, and was approved by the President on the 15th of June. That bill furnished the abundant means by which the war was prosecuted to its conclusion. I quote from another: "By that act an enormous amount of money was appropriated for the prosecution of hostilities and the general purposes of the army, the aggregate of the appropriations being no less than $529,323,897.65—or about five hundred and thirty millions of dollars. That money sent Sherman triumphant in his marcli to the sea, replenished the ranks of Grant before Petersburg, and gave vigor and success to all the subordinate operations of the war." Mr. Bockalew, the present Democratic and conservative candidate for Governor in Pennsylvania, was on the committee of conference upon the bill, and signed the report by which the differences between the two houses of Congress were adjusted and the success of the measure secured. Why can Governor Morton not call to his support, aud in corroboration of his calumnies, the honorable gentlemen with whom I served in the senate They know that upon political questions I maintained my own. independent judgment and that of my party and that whenever the proseecution of the war was made a pretext for overriding constitutional guarantees and rights, as I believed I denounced the perversion, but they always accorded to (Continued on Third Page.

onslaught upon the Carpet trade caused a decided sensation. We

have never seen a more complete success. Within 24 hours after we had announced our prices to the public, our Carpet room was crowded with customers, and each week our sales of these goods have contiuued to increase.

It is the Hit Bird that Flutters!

accouuts for the fluttering among our competitors. They got their backs up at once aiid rushed into print to tell the people that they had reduced their Carpets to the price of ours. The people answered "We don't believe you, aud even if you have, Foster 'Brothers compelled you to lower your prices, or you would never have done it. We proposei tb givg our patronage to the merchants whose prices are so low that they have never had to reduce them to meet the prices of other stores."

THE "AMBtJLACE RIDER" BACKED DOWN!

HE MAKES AK INGLORIOUS FIZZLE!

His "Hand Loom" and "Family" Carpets Prove to be a Humbug!

Kuowing, as we did, that his "Hand Loom" Carpets, for which he was charg ing $1.40 and $1.50, were exactly the goods that were selling at $1.20 and $1.25, and that his so-called "Family" Carpets at $1.00 were the same as our 85c gbods, we submitted to him four distinct challenges on the subject, which he has not dared to accept.

The brief campaign of the past few weeks has placed us

AT THE HEAD OF THE CARPET TRADE

WE PROPOSE TO KEEP THE LEAD!

We shall do it by offering'to the public only well known brauds of Carpets and by always representing our goods to be just what they are. As we shall keep no makes of Carpets to which the manufacturers are ashamed to put their names, it will never become necessary for us to dub any of them "Finger Looms""1 "Family Frauds."
