the despslste purpose Of the Republioan
party 70 psspetuats. through the enftsn-
chisement Of ignorant and degraded me-
groes, their hold upon the government Of
the country, and how they had. regardless
Of constitutions and oaths, used power to
control both the government and people
for that purpose. 49, r. <
We now recur to the first step in that
direction, and with that design, which was
to legislate the general government into
an absolute control over all the capital Of
the country. That they did regardless Of
State rights, State interests, and State
credits. By the practice of tyranny un-
precedented in free country, in which
equal taxation is a boast, they taxed out
of existence State banks, organized under
franchises granted by sovereign States, and
whose securities rested upon State stocks,
thus trampliDg on the reserved rights of
the States, destroying the market for State
stocks, disparaging State credit, increasing
the burthens of State taxation, and bring
ing the States in all their financial opsra-
tons and necessities into subsection to
centralized Federal moneyed power.
This they have done for the sole purpose
of removing obstacles in the way of the
success Of another assumption of power,
against which the people Of the nation
have since 1882 frequently and emphati-
cally pronounced, oto-wit, the establish
ment of a national banking system. They
have created national banking system. Of
overwhelming power, designed to absorb a
large portion. of the public debt as secu-
rity for bank circulation, and to provide
all the circulating bills and control all the
exchanges Of the whole country, and thus
measure the value Of every article of ma
terisl wealth and of every days labor in
the land. They did this because they well
knew that such power, once established,
would control the Government in all its
measures and operations ri aoha r. Il
To increase the power of capial above
it's congregation in banks furnishing all
the circulating medium for all the business
Of the country, and to render its influences
more diffusive, active and permanent in
favor of their control Of the government,
and to further Cypress the people and de-
press their independence by increasing their
burthens, they have exempted all capital
invested in Government bonds, now
amounting to over $500, oo0, 600, from
all taxation for any purpose whatever.
The taxes are none the less for such ex-
emptions, and must be paid by impositions
upon the labor and other property Of the
country. .1 .'''.-.'- -
By another unaccountable assumption
of power, against which the country has
often and distinctly decided, they have
imposed tariff upon imports, that so far
from being tax for the purposes of re-
venue, is tax for protecting manufactur-
ing interests at the expense Of the people
who consume manufactured fabrics-s
tax to fitch from the hand of labor the
products thereof to furnish unconscionable
profits to capital invested in manufac-
lures.
By these and other kindred measures
have the Republicans, "who steal the hy-
cry of the court OF heaven to serve the
devil in" sought to fix upon the country
an immovable monied aristocracy, in
which their leaders should lead and con-
troll the government for all time. The
banks and monied men are, so long as the
Republican party retains power, to be the
favored and privileged classes, and be the
government. The people are to be forced
to pay the taxes, perform the labor and do
the tighting-in plain terms, TO be slaves
to monied aristocracy. I
This is modern Repubicanism-old-
fashioned Federalism in its very quintes-
sence, which has disgraced every honored
name that IT ever assumed to cover its
enormities. 1t viii Disgrace the honored
and generic name OF Republicanism. 1t
has done SO already, and the Republican
leaders teel it-and they are desperate in
their fear OF overthrow by the g second
