Administration of johnson
and Grant Compared.

The Republicans now charge that john
sons administration was corrupt, and hold
the Democratic party responsible for it. If
the Democracy are responiible for it, is it
anywise discreditable when compared with
Grants? What do the figures show accord
ing to Republican AUTHORITY!
In two years and nine months Johnson's
corrupt administration paid off 81 ,066, 000,-
00) of the public debt. This was at the rate
tree hundred and eighty-seven millions,
six hundred and thirtysix thousand per
year.
1t must be recollected that these are the
figures of Mr. Boutwell,. The Republican
congressional committee claims that Grant
collected over S36, 600, 900 more in fifteen
months than was collected in like period
under Johnson, and yet the debt under
Grant in sixteen months was reduced only
$l39, 069, Oo7 Il. Now mark the contrast
We have the Testimony of Mr.. Boutwell,
that the Johnson administration reduced
the public debt 81 ,O66, COO, 600 in two years
and nine months.
The Republican congressional committee
states tn at the Grant administration reduced
the debt $139, G69, 0S7 in sixteen months
Under these statements, and they are
both from Republican sources, it appears
that the reduction of the debt would have
amounted, under Johnson, to $500 SlS, 600
i'm sixteen months, while under Grant the
reduction was only Sl39,069,OS7 in the
same length of time. So that the reduction
under johnson, Notwithstanding all the
charges Of extravaganza and prohigacy
made against his administration, was over
threefOld, and nearly fourfold, more than
under Grant, and yet the Republican orators
and papers boast Of the increased revenue
since the present administration came into
power.

Radical Consistency.

There is but one thing that the lead.
ing representative men of the republi.
can party are consistent in, and that is
with means employed to keep in office.
We append below the changes which
have occurred in two years in that party.
"Resoloed, That the public debt,
made necessary by the rebellion, should
be honestly paid; and all the bonds is
sued therefor, should be paid in legal
tender, commonly called greenback4, ex.
cept where, by their express terms they
provide otherwise, and paid in such
quantities as will make the circulation
commensurate with the commercial
wants of the country and SO as to avoid
the great imitation OF the currency and
an increase in the price of gold. "-Rad
icat PLATFORM, 1868
"The absurdity of proposing to pay
off the national debt, not by taxation,
not by collecting money in the usual
and honest way, but by issuing new cur
rcncy which is never to be redeemed,
but to be left to perish in the hands of
the people, would be ridiculous were it
not gravcly put forth by distinguished
politicians in the desperate pursuit of
power. 1t is quite as ridiculous as if
you should propose to pay all your debts
drawing interest by giving your due
bills without interest, with the under
standing that they are never to be paid"

this method Of disposing of your hard

When Republicans grow eloquent
over the extravagancies of the Demo
cratic party of Marshall county in con-
nection with the building of tie court
house, ask them why it is that they
(Repulicans) are supporting man for
one of the most responsible Offices in the
county, who was not only in favor of
putting up building in all respects
equal to the one now building, but was
in favor of buying a half-dozen lots down
town to put it on, which would have in
creased the cost of the building proba-
bly, ten thousand dollars. Also ask them,
1t there is not strong probability that
his interest in the matter was prompted
by desire to increase the value of his
own property and if a man who would
put the county to an expense of thou
sands in order to add to his own prop
erty few hundreds, is just the person
to entrusS with the important duties of
county commissioner.

and enquired what the republican party
had done for them. A gentleman in

work; the trick is too old; has been
tried to often; has in fact become stale.
A county that in the hard times Of last
June, could go into the market and sell
her bonds at par for cash, is all right
financially. That fact alone settles that
question beyond any argument. Her
credit is :. No. l among business men,
which is more than can be said of the
Republican counties around us. Judge
Egbert of the common pleas court, says
this is the only county where he can get
the cash on his county orders in his
district, which includes the republican
counties of Laporte, st. Joseph and
Elkhart. The records show Marshall
county to be one of the best and most
economically managed counties in the
