nave.x .xor Done All You Could DO?
Have you done all that you could do to
help increase the Democratic vote this fall?
1t is not enough to see your Democratic
neighbor and strengthen his faith; but
vour Republican neighbor should be seen
and persuaded to vote the Democratic
Ticket. His attention should be called to
the fact, that for the seventy-two years
that the Federal Government was admin
istered by the Democratic and Wing par
ties, itcost only S2, I2O, I62, q S2s.Is while
it cost ss,3so, ,55I,2OO.A3 to administer
the Government seven years by the Repub-
lican party. Thus, it will be seen, that 1T
DID NOT COST MORE THAN oNE-THIRD the
amount of money to carry on the Govern
ment seventy two years by the Democratic
and Wing parties, what it has cost to carry
It on seven years under Republican Rule.
At this rate, the Democratic party could
carry on the Government two hundred and
sixteen years while the Republican party
was carrying it on twenty-ene years. In
the seventy-two years referred to the War
of 1872 and the Mexican War were fought
and their cost paid. The Louisiana terri
tory, Florida, Texas and New Mexico,
were acquired. These acquisitions cost a
great deal of money.
How it has cost the country so much
more under seven years of Republican rule
than it cost under seyenty-two years of
Democratic and Whig rule, is thus ex-
planned by DOM PIArT, a leading Repub-
lican, in a letter to the Cincinnati CONNER
cial dated Mae-a-cheek, May II, 1865:
I'VE {the Republican party) have filled
the offices with thieves and their pockets
with stealings. We have organized rings
that in turn create oftice-holders and con-
troll the Government. Men go in poor and
paid to the Gov ernment from hard-earned
taxes. hundreds stick to the dirty fingers
of official scoundrels." ""os @S1 . ar
Your Republican neighbour who desires
only good and cheap Government,Ewi
agree with you that there tshould be an in-
slant change in this respect. Call his at
ocratic ticket with yyea.---
Although the Taxation is very oppresN
sive+-ail Of it finally fallingsupon thescon-
sumer,-although it is over three years
since the War ended, the, Public Debt, is,
nevertheless, being increased.

At this rate Of Increase, the Pubic Debt
willbe increased over one hundred millions
of dollars within the year. This is extra
ordinary and incxcusable.
The increase in the Debt drawing Gold in
terest has been astonishingly great. On the

5Assuredly, your Republican neighbor
will agree with you that there should be1a
change in this for the better. Ask him to
vote the Democratic ticket with you on the
Second Tuesday of October to make the
change ,atia5it H4d@"t
The report of the Secretary of the Treas
ury made to Congress on the Both of No
vember, 1867, shows that the six New
England States-Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut-have an average circulation
OF two hundred and twenty dollars in pa
per money to the voter, while the six
Western States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
hou
quite ltwenty-eight dollars to the voter
This difference in the amount of money in
circulation in the two sections, taken in
connection with the very high taxes, ac-
counts for our, dull times and the scarcity
of money, And SO long as the Radical
policy prevails, just so long will this
condition of affairs continue substan-
tally. About twenty-four millions ofdol-
lars are paid to these National Banks that
issue this currency, and, which is mostly
held in the East. The Democracy demand
that the Bondslon which this currency is
issued, and which is redeemable in Green
backs. shall be paid in Greenbacks, and
that Greenbacks shall be substituted for
thesNational Bank Notes. In additionrtog
this, they insist that the $40 Bonds, as
they become due, shall be paid in Green
backs. They were bought with this kind
of money, and it isnot violation of the
law creating these Bonds to pay them
in Greenbacks. By SO doing, large
amount of moneyszwill bezsayeda
in interest alone, and at the same time the
West will be put in possession OF its fair
share OF currency, and the country will
once more experience prosperity. And BY
abnsloning the foolish policy eof making
the Negroes in the South the political--the
power there, we shall be ena-
bIsd to Withdraw and diminish the army,
and with Il the extraordinary expense
throtiigh which, in part, the Public Debt is
nov being increased monthly many lmii-o
