II payment 70 this debt % the people are
sble 20 make, and which shall save these
vsst sums Of interest that you are paying
eseh year Where you promised 10 psy
gole. pay gold. Where you only promised
ereenbseks pay greenbscks. That ls the
first thing. The mex, thing you mus. do
's TO stop the pIundering OF The public treas
ury. Why. my friends. if l were 70 stand
here and recount to you the hundre dth part
Of the pludering Of the treasury that 10 10
BE- found in the official reports o. the Gov
eminent. might have to stand here for
well nigh . week. Laughter.J might
sum up The whole thing in one remark, and
ihst is that Mr.. Dawes, Of Massachusetts,.
one Of the most radical Of men, wss forced
20 confess, on the floor OF The House Of
Representatives, that the mere stealines Of
one yesr, under the Republican sdminis,rs-
iion. were equal almost to The entire cur.
rent snnuai expenses Of Buchansn's admin.
'siraiion. Let me give you an Idea Of the
amount. What were your expenses Isst
ysH1 They were $a5o 900 900. That l.
. mighty sum Of money. Let me give you
sn ides Of whssis il in my comparison. In
the good old days OF Andrew Jackson, the
expenses Of the Government never exceed
ed SO GOO, 200 syesr. Nov. you expend
o much 10 sne single year % would run
the Government for twenty-cne yesrs, az
The old rate Of Democratic expenditures.-
Now, is il not time 10 stop tine leaks 10 the
'reasury. end turn out the men who tex you
10 this way. and thus squand der Jour money!
[AppIause.1
Let me give you another item. a set OF
fellows wanted government contracts got
up en- Indian war; and what have been the
expenses Of i,i The Secretary or Ware.
ported that the expenses for the two years.
1865 and 1866. were over thirty millions Of
dollars. How many hostile Indians did they
kill y ith that large amount Of money! I
will tell you. There was . Rev. Colonel
Cbivington who murdered one hundred and
sevensy-four perfectly peaceful and friendly
indisns-oId men, women and children. II
does sometimes happen hat when you won't
q particularly mean man. find one who
writes Reverend Colonel before his name
end you have him. IAppIsuse.j How many
hostile Indians did they kin with this thiny
millions Of money! remember that ia
'he House Of Representatives M. windom.
of Minnesoss, after investigating the. fscs.
stated o the resu: that every hostile Indian
killed cost more than two millions OF money.
Take General SuIly's expedition. The sub
'istence Of that expedition cost more than
TX milIions Of dollars. The General 70.
'orted that he had killed one Indian -
LsughterI Al express rider says the
ienersl lied; that il was he, snj not the
General. who had killed the Indian. [Lsuch-
eE And the old hunters and uappers ore
here cay they both lie, for they know tho
