AT Edinburgh the crowd was out again
and the train was saluted as it drew near
by the firing OF a canon. Mr.. Greeley
appeared on the platform here, but the
train started before he was able to say
anything.
AT franklin there was large turnout,
and he made the following speech:
FELLOW CITIZENS Though l have
seen few Of you personally until this mo.
ment, I trust am not unknown to you.
l trust that, In spite of what may be said
or daily uttered TO my prejudice, you
know me as an early, earnest and ardent
advocate Of reconciliation. You do know
that l have long believed, our civil war
being over, a real peace-a peace which
means mutual good will--should have
been established. Circumstances adverse
have prevented up to this time that
establishment. l am before you now
as an advocate Of its speedy, its
immediate realization. desire that
there be none In this country-no
alien, no outcast race, but that all Ameri.
cans shall meet around the table OF our
common country.
At hali.past 9 r. N. Mr.. Greeley nc.

ton at being so heartily and generously
welcomed by our people.

ments in mineral resources, iron and coal
interests, sc, said:
Mr.. Chairman: l hear that you have
been told that he who now addresses you
is u fanatic and devotee Of the resump.
ton oispecic payment. Such is not the
fact indeed. l believe that we might
have resumed specie payment several
years ago, when we had $125,000,000 in
the Treasury, mainly gold, and an income
exceeding our current expenditures by
100000 900 per aunum. We might have
resumed with less difficulty and less dan
ger oi failure than the banks enCoun-
Tered when they resumed in 1880, and
other times, but the opportunity was al.
lowed to pass because resumption was
deemed undesirable, and since then we
have drifted further aud further away
from the point at which resumption was
practicable. Our national income Is d.
minished, so Is our surplus in the Treas
ury, while the premium on gold has ad
vAnced. In short we are not on the road iC
specie payment, but are travelling the othel
way. Hence l say use the money which liet
dead In the Treasury, tempting its custo
dians to stock gambling, embezzlemen
and speculation, TO reduce the public deb
and diminish the interest occurring there
on. 1t was well to hoard gold while WI
professed 10 be on the point of resuminl
specie payments. Now that We have
postponed that purpose, all excuse fol
boarding has vanished. Let the Govern
mcnt pay its debts, and thus liberate The
money II usually boards to invigorate thu
business and industry ot the country.
Such, gentlemen, are my ideas o
finance, and having stated them, will Ee
lieve you from further attention.
