DEMOCRATIC Repudiation

Pendleton and the platform upon
which he stands, says: "You must
tax the bonds, or we will not pay the
interest on them"
Decisions of the Supreme Court Ct
the United States declare that
no State can tax the bonds of the
Government. unless the holder of
such bonds consents to its being done.
Therefore the bonds cannot and
will not be taxed. What is the re-
suit? Why, if the doctrines Of Pen
dleton are carried out, the interest
will not be paid. To refuse to pay
the interest upon the public debt is
Reputation, and Repudistion is ras-
cality and national infamy. The par
ty that suggests OF lends a helping
hand to such scheme will be politi-
cally damned.
Because the Government Is strong
er than the holder of its bond, it ig-
nores its contract to pay the interest
when due-and, further, proposes to
put in a new condition upon which it
alone will pay. Such proposition
could only emanate from a sWindler.
1t is proposition that the highway
man makes his victim. 1t is villiany.
Rosecrans could not stand it-Pen-
dleton can. Honest Democrats will
not hear to it-leading Democrats ad-t
vocate it.

on Wednesday evening a great por-
ton the Oratorio was omitted. Fol
the past TWO weeks it has enlisted tht
attention Of quite number of oul
singers in preparing it for the pub
lie. There are perhaps but few en-
tertainments, of a musical character
which would give more general sat
isfaction, and solicit larger audiences
than this Oratorio we're it rightly uh

they did justice to the piece as vel

solved in favor of an honest payment

solved in favor of an honest payment
to the uttermost farthing, of all prin-
cipal and interest there would be no
need Of single bond remaining un-
paid one day after it becomes due.
This is the reason. Both parties
would then stand pledged to such pay
ment, and there would be heard no
voice for anything else than honest
and full payment. All men having
money to loan would feel and know
that the bond for which they would
give their money would be paid,
principal and interest, according to
the contract, without equivocations
or quibbles. The Investment would
rank in the money market Of the
world as No. 1. 1t would so rank be-
cause Of the universal confidence in
the good faith and honesty of our
people. The rank of our bonds will al
ways be determined by the degree of
confidence there is in the good faith
and honesty of the people.
With this confidence we could have
borrowed money by selling our bonds
at from four to four and one-half per
cent. interest. We1eould have had,
and now have, on hand money enough,
obtained on such bonds, to meet and
pay off every one Of the bonds now
out, and thus reduce our rate of in
terest nearly one-third. We could
not, of course, compel the surrender of
bonds not yet due. but the time will
soon come when the longest running
will be due, and if there are funds
therefor they may be paid.
It is plain that what we need is a
perfect. credit. That perfect credit is
based on the good faith and honesty
of the whole people. \ uniform ex-
preston of that good faith and hon
esty, by Democrats as we'll as Repub-
licans, is necessary to engender and
maintain that credit. This fact is
known as we'll to Pendleton, and the
leading men of the Democratic par
ty, as it is to the leading men of the
party. But in the face
of such knowledge, in the defiance of
his and their convictions they cause
the Democratic party to resolve against
such good faith and honest payment,
against the nations credit, against
the nations pocket, and for increased
burden and taxation. They do it to
humbug the people, to inAame and
excite, and on the humbug and de-
ception to attain power for them
selves and their party.

Peaches and MeanneSS.

A rather curious combination, but
the tale will justify it.
There is a man living near Carey
who is the fortunate possessor of a
fine peach orchard. From that Or
chard he will realize this year nearly
two thousand bushels Of peaches.-
He is rather "near'with his peaches,
and seemingly had rather part with
his good name than one Of Them for
nothing.
During the first part Of the peach
season, his stinginess with his fruit got
to be proverbial, and when he sent out
invitations to some of his friends near
by, and to many of the Carey people,
to come TO a peach festival at his
place the astonishment was great
Every one invited went, and early in
the day some forty or fifty had
gathered ready for the enjoyments of
the festival. All of course brought their
own provisions. After listening to
their hosts account Of his life, from
the time he was born till he embark
ed in the peach busInes-, time begun
to drag heavily, but it was not till the
evening shades began to fall that "old
peaches" invited the company to ex-
amine his orchard. They all went
with him, and listened to his profound
knowledge of peach growiDg-he Oc>
casiOnally telling them not to touch
the peaches as they were "much finer
over there" Thus they passed
through the orchard peachless, and
one of the visitors remarked to the
owner, that he supposed that they
had some peaches picked for them to
eat at the house. and he was told that
there were. When the company arriv-
ed at the house they found nopeaches.
This was damper upon them, and
one Of them, in order that they could
say that they had had peaches bought
a half bushel, paying 81 so for them.
All went home bored-and particu-
larly we're a portion OF the company
sold, as they had taken with them to
he "peach festival friends who we're
them from Illinois.
Every since the affair Carey has
been on a broad grin, and the last of

Correspondence TIfin TRIBUNE.
Democracy Responsible for our
High rate of Interest,

There are s62O,OOO,OOO of Five
Twenty bonds now due. We have mol
the money to pay them. The Re-
publican Administration is paying
these bonds at the rate of 800, ,000,-
600 per year. This is as rapidly as
we can at present pay. These bonds
bear 6 per cent. interest, payable in
gold. Since we can't pay them, ought
we not TO borrow money, if we can, al
lower rate of interest, and with il
pay them? Surely, says every one
Democrat and Republican. Now
comes the practical question, can We
borrow at any rate lower than six pei
cent? The answer is, that depends
upon how you treat your present cred
itors. Ifyou treat them fairly, honest
ly and honorably, paying your interest

Reputation.

There is something in the follow
ing resolutions, passed By the Dem
ocracy of Mercer county in COnven-
ton assembled, that all can admire.
There is no beating around the bush:
"ResolUed By the Democracy of Mer-
Ger County an C0nUention assembled
That we are in favor of the repudia
ton of the bonded debt of the United
States
"ResOlUed, That our members OF
Congress be requested to vote against
appropriations providing for the pay
ment of the saleries Of the Assessors
and Collectors Of Internal Revenue
or the interest on the bonded debt
Between the Mercer County fellows
and the leaders of the Democratic
party Of the State is this difference,
while the former are out-spokeD,
the latter try to cover up their
tracks. The Democratic leaders feel
just in the same way, but policy is
used and they do not show the clOveu
hoof quite so plainly.
Upon the same subject, the Sails
bury Examiner, a Democratic sheeI
in North Carolina, speaks plainly,
and advocates reputation as the
panacea for all troubles. Read:
"Repudiation means liberty to the
masses. Reputation means freedom
from the enormous taxes imposed by
most Infamous and accursed Radical
legislation. Reputation means the
best remedy against tyranny and op-
preston. Reputation means oppo.
sition to official swindling of the peo-
pie. Reputation means protection
against a moneyed aristoeracy,
against Government frauds and usur-
pations. The people all know the so
called national war debt is a swindle
They know that it is a child of usur-
pation-begotten out side OF the Con.
stitution. to carry on an unholy and
ungodly war against the unoffending
and much wronged people of sover-
eign States"

shook him, and cursed him sOundly
for inattention to the wants of his
regiment and unsoldierly conduct

the story, and received the following
reply:
The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1869-10-01
Consistent.

PendletOn, in his speech at Clifton,
said:
81 object to its adoption, because
by the strongest implication it con-
fers upon Congress, and reserves to
the States, the right to exclude from
the ballot persons of our own white
race because of their nativity or their
creed, or their want of education, or
their poverty, and prohibits the ex-
elusion only of another race. And
thus, if the Interpretation of Senator
Morton and Senator Howard be cor
rect, under this amendment of Con-
gress the States may exclude an Irish
man, or a German, or a Catholic, or a
Protestant, or a poor man from the
enjoyment of the suffrage, but may
not exclude the negro or Magnolian. .
This is the language of a dema-
gogue, and would be unworthy of no.
tice but for the fact that it comes from
the leading man of the Democracy,
and is echoed by all the Democratic
press as Democratic law and gospel
Even Carey, the played out Republi-
can, n,ex-temperance orator, who rehashes
the Democratic arguments produced
by Vallandigham, Pendleton & Co.,
got off the same remarks in his
speech at the Court House on
Wednesday. In fact, he had never
thought of it until he read the speech
his master at Clifton, and then, like
good dog, he barked up the same
tree. The Fifteenth Amendment
reads as follows;
"The right of the citizens of United
States to vote shall not be denied OF
abridged by the United States, or by
any State, on account of race, color
or previous condition of servitude."
Any man of sense will see at once
the righteousness Of Pendleton's de-
clarations. Has the Irishman or Ger
man no race? Is race confined ex-
clusively to the African and the Mon
golian? PendletOn grows weaker
with his years and has lost good sense
in his defeats for national honors.-
