SPEECH OF GOV. SEYMOUR AT
COLUMBUS, CHIC.

COLUMBUS, October 27.-Gov. Sey-
Eaour arrived here at two p. M. to-day,
and was received ct the depot by an im-
mense crowd. He is now speaking in
Capitol square.
His remarks on finances are sU5staU-
tally the same as nat made at eVs-
land and Chicago. He spoke OF til I'm
Just distribution of funds between East
and West, saying that in distributing
currency they should say Ohio has $780,
eco people and is entitled to nearly one
tenth Of the whole amount. She should
have this currency not only to buy pro-
ducs, nut to furnish additional capital
all the year roEad for business. Illinois
wants more currency than yOu, and she
has only So. COO, 900, while Massachusetts
with half her population has $57 600 coo,
though they DO not want currency there,
because business in Massachusetts is not,
aud never was carried on with currency.
They know they do not want ii, because
YOU want it Of them to pay interest. Lst
Us see why men OF Illinois fiud the value
OF produce pot down. Tine great mass Of
the currency Is placed under contract OF
mOnied c~snters, chiefly Wall street.
There it is locked 20 for the purpose OF
making money scarcs that knOeks dOwa
stocks; it knocks down property. They
want to buy, peTchsnce your corn ; you
can't get money TO furnish they have
means to buy when ready, and make
monstrOus sp~eculatiODs. They are doing /
it to-day in New York, for the purpose |
Of putting down railroad stocks, ard 10 |
doing that put down your corn and pork. |
We see these evils because Government
did what was clearly unfair in distrib
ut.ng this circulation. What has been
the result You think you are q free
and independent citizen Of Ohio. Per
hHps you are for home purposes, but you
hnd speculation and power arising from
bad legislation, which steps into
your delds and workhOSses and stocks. |
and strikes down the products Of your
labor, that is q large reduction from your
Independence. It oursss you aud ne
men have bought up sell, Tosd
or corn and beef, or p7Ik. The
currency needed here 10 winter rolls Toto
New York. The banker goes 70 the
spseulst0r and offers 70 lend MIN money
Dn i0w atersst. You pay ten or twelve
Def cent. interest, because you have to
of the East, when In New York
It is five or six per cent. The Spectator
.alIes &c and buys up this very property
Which has been cut down In valua by
iotttbff abN P1S uPbbO PAACO az 1tIst NIG l
- the East so high, it
De purchased, and is not got out
the way Of your next crops. Every
nan who desires to go into this election,
his duty TO himself and the couu-
can trace this thus for himself. Tae
show you where this currency
distributed. Did they distribute
roar quota for men to go and battle the
way? Oh, no. Ohio, Illinois aud
had q hard rule applied, b.
which they sent numbers to war beyopf
heir proportion, because they did MOI,
n q population basis, wish to 90 other
wise. For the first time our New Eng
and friends were exceedingly modest.
they declared that you were q much
more able bodied people than they were.
Mr.. Seymour continued at length,
howiBg the great injustice done the
Vest by the party In power, aad how,
