/ Idesire TO call attention, for a mo
menl, TO this doctrine OF Mr. Peudle-
ton, which has given him such a con-
i spicuity during the past two years
That theory was, that the interest which
bonds could be saved By paying OF the
/ debt in EFcenbacks; and to save the
Interest, Of course the bonds must be
i taken up psoon. 0n tr'f
"A Nov, feliow-Citizens, every man Of
1 intelligence knows that there are Just
two ways to do that thing. One is, to
print enough greenbacks 10 take up the
bonds; the other Is, to tax she people
sufficiently TO collect greenbHeks
| euough into the Treasury to give abe
| bondholders IN lieu Of their bonds. II
| you adopt the BecOud plan, yOd must
/ tax the peuple enormously. To take
up the bonds in any reasonably short
space OF time, you must tax the people
more heavily than they have ever yet
been taxed.
Putfh question to any Democrat, or
| to Mr.. PendIetOn fare you in favor OF
! heavily increasing the taxes in order to
carry 0dt this scheme7'' If he says
Eyes" !" hold him TO IL, and ask your feI-
/ low citizens II they want the taxes thus
1 Increased. II be says ''HO,'' then there
/ ID but one other way to dc Il: that is, to
print off about hfteen hundred million
/ dollars OF green back notes and with
[ them take up ihe bonds and set the
nntes atioat, Now, you may tell Mr..
/ Pendleton and his friends that be is
4 compelled 20 adopt one of these plans.
| So far as the feasibility and safety are
| concerned, it makes little difference
which is adopted. Either leads to
measureleBs hnancial calamity. Issue
| 81, 500, 900 Of .greenbacks, and YOU
will reduce the value OF ever paper dol
lar in the United States to ten cents or
| less, and it may we'll no doubted 81 q
RreenbHck dollar would be worth even
k4hat amount.
Issue such an amount and you de-
/ range values eVervWhere, raise prices
everywhere, and throw the whole cOun-
try into the direst confusion; aud yet
the statesmanship Of Mr.. Pendleton
eompeis us to do that or to crush the
business of the country by real in
crease OF Federal taxes.
] shall ba obliged to Mr.. PendlPton ifI
ne will tell me how the country is to
escape one OF these calamities.

Mr.. Pendleton'G theory was repudlated
