J, one of them be good enough 90 tell u
o who did do il IL the Itepublical
u party has not settled these great ma
u tional questions, these great question:
g of liberty and right, tell US who die
settle them / believe that answer
e the questions, but while these grea
!, questions are settled, we are brOugh
face to face with q new class, l wa
I going to say almost as important a
q the former. They are fundamental t
I the national prosperity. To this,
i should add, the attention Ofthe whole
T nation is now being directed. Thi
: class includes all questions that worl
to the material resources and prOsperi
$ ty of the country. 1t includes al
: financial questions, questions concern
ing the payment of the public debt
: the best methOd of raising the reve
nue., the most economical method o.
expenditure, the restoration of Oul
commerce, the equalization, the re
striction OF our currency, the grea1
. question which at present is so mucf
discussed almost Over-shadOwing al
Others, the great question Ofthe trans
pOrtatiOn Of the products of the nation
from one side of the continent to an
other. The question OF labor, and
other questions which might men
ton now confront US, and the Repub
lican party, l believe, is preparing tC
grapple these questions, and satisfac.
tOrily settle them. And, nay friends,
let me add frankly that it is more
than that, it is Gods mission for us
it is q duty He has laid upon us we
can not escape from this message, and
refuse to deliver it. Neither God nOr
man could give us so hard task, and
expect us to arrive at a solution of all
these questions at once. But bOtE
God and man will demand of us that
we who should direct most earnestly
and honestly our best intelligence tC
these questions, and settle them a,
we'll as we can. Why, fellow Repub-
Iicans, there is no use of q party of the
United States of America that is not
adequate to examine, and is not equal
to making, some fair approximation
toward the settlement of these ques-
tiOns. No political party in America
can gain, much less, keep the conf
dence of the people, unless it show:
itself willing and ready to take hold
of these questions. l believe the Re
publican party had to be commission
ed to do this work. l believed these
great questions are for us to discuss in
a manner that will be most beneficial
and useful 10 UDsd and nnanL-ind
discover no indispOsitiOn of the Re
publican party to take up these ques-
lions. / believe you are equal to
them believe it, because you have
settled more difficult questions than
this in the times of the past. reason
from your past performance and your
future, and say a political party
which could carry this country
through that long war which abOl-
ished slavery, and brought the States
again together-I say, gentlemen that
q marty which could do that, can set
tie these other questions. Applause.
They are no more difllenlt. When
YOU have seen a man lift two hundred
bounds, YOU don't need to open an
argument whether he can raise hun
dred pounds. The Republican party
has lifted the greater load we shall
be able to accomplish the less diff
culties in manner satisfactory to the
people. | have confidence in the par
ty because 1 see it full of certain, hope
full energy, application, and industry
for the solution. of those great ques-
tions, and I believe will be able to
find out precisely what is to he done
in regard to all Of them at once and
/ believe it will find it out and shall
lead the nation forward in that career
Of prosperity and glory which I trust
it is our mission upon the earth TO
accomplish.
