tanned them last spring. The den.oc, a.
cy OF the country sustained Gen. Jack
son IN 1885, and in 1889, upon Mr.. w.
lerss resolutions. almost every democrat
voted against them. The question then
does involve not only principle. but the
consistency Of the democrtic party. But
this distribution is justified upon the
ground of the deposite act Of 1886. the
friends OF this measure asserting that the
character OF the two laws is the same.
Tins Is wholly incorrect. So far from
these being the same, they are as different
as two laws can be. The ,ieposite law

These are the terms and conditions of thai

states are not bound to pay it. The
solemn faith Of each state stands pledged
to repay when demanded, and it is vain
to talk about no obligations to paw. Here
is the law, and the facts are too plain to
admit ola doubt. Thus is even the pre-
cedent taken from the wings, and the

be purely wing measure, originating in
