They had COMMENCED taking the insurance business

piece Of legislation would be like the banking
insurance companies out OF existence. The radicals
had seized the patronage OF the government, which
belonged to the Executive and the Senate Of the
United States. and they were now agitatng the pro-
ject OF making an educational bureau and of taking
possession OF the internal improvements Of the
Judicial power Of the country. The democratic party
stood by the contract that the general government

sro uld have two Senator'S; but as to the powers
which were conferred upon the
racy protested against having the power OF the
people diluted BY the taking away OF the reserved
rights OF the States. The radicals had also taken
away the right Of Suffrage as to the ten Southern
States and they intended and threatened to exercise
1t as to all the Northern States. When the radicals
took new powers never conferred upon the general
government then the citizens OF New York lost four
fold Of the power which they possessed, while the

OF the people respecting the expenditure OF the
fteen millions OF dollars, Mr.. Atkinson, Of Boston,
came out with an answer, which the entire radical
press and party had adopted. Mr.. Atkinson In de-
fence said that he discovered debt Of eight hun
bred millions Of dollars that never thought Of
which disposed Of one half OF the amount. He 1.-THE
speaker asked any fair radical II he would support
party who mad got the finances into such confu-
sion that they could not tell within eight hundred
millions OF dollars how much debt they paid.
None OF the public ofIlcers of the govern
ment had claimed that more than two
hundred millions OF the debt had been paid. Mr.. At
kinson's statement was false deceptive cheat for
he said that they paid the expenses OF the War De-
parment for fifteen months out OF the taxes, while
ne gave no credit for the money which had been
borrowed bv the government during that period.
For the quarter ending the LIST OF October, 1866.
there was about one thousand millions Of dollars
which was borrowed by the government which
Atkinson falsely stated was paid out OF the taxes.
There was paid out OF the eight hundred millions
six hundred millions before the LIST OF July 1885, and
there could not have been paid more than two hun
dred millions after that tme so that the defence OF
the radicals upon their financial policy fell to the
