| COLUMBUS, Aug. 12.-Gen. Thomas
Ewing addressed a large meeting of the
Democracy here last night, giving his
views as to what should be the party doc.
trine on financial matters. Briefly, his
basis for financial policy is that the Gov
eminent shall furnish all money for the
people in an issue that shall be legal
tender equally with coin, except where a
contract expressly calls for specie: that
this issue shall be employed to redeem the
fivc..wenty bonds; that to prevent undue
expansion, three per cent. bonds shall be
issued, into which legal tenders may be
converted, which shall be exchanged at
} par for legal tenders lie claims, in be
half of this currency, that it will be legal
tender in every sense of the term, being
receivable for taxes, imports and other du.
ties; that it will be stable currency, hav.
ing this advantage over currency redeem.
able in gold, since the latter is subject to
variations on account of the export of spe
Gle to meet foreign balances; that it will
be elastic, the bonds being converted into
currency to meet the demand Of trade, and
that it will establish moderate and uni
form rate of interest.
