To the PcopIe ofPtpnY'ra1da:
The radicals attempt to eyade the rrac-
teal issues Of the canvass aud tc dclude
You into the support of their candidates.
They alone are accountable for the pros
tration of our business interests. They
have deliberately sacrificed them in order
to place in the hands of southern negroes
the balance of power in the republic, and
thus preserve their own rule. More
than two years have passed since peace
was restored. and we look in vain iur in
creased products from ;he South to aid us
IN paying the interest OH our debt, and to-
her prosperous customers to buy our wood
en-, iron anl other manufactures Instead
Of receiving aid to pay our debt. we are
faxed to maintain lreedman's bureau
and standing army in the South In
stead Of prosperous customers TO increase
urtrade. every business interest langu sh-
es. Radical misnanaecment, negro POI
icy, and raaica! extravaganza weigh down
our energies and fetter our resources

radicals appropriated and expended s

penses have more than doubled. The
men who have thus wasted your substance
prate Of their loyalty and their sacrifices,
and would maintain their hold upon the
public treasury BY fixing your attention
