GARFIELD'S FINANCIAL
VIEWS.
GEN

During his speech accepting a renomi-
nation by the Republican Congressional
Convention of the XIXth District, at
Painesville on Thursday, General Car
field made few remarks on the curren-
cy question. lie said;
DRAW line, and ON one side are
those who are in debt, who are obliged
to borrow money in order to carry on
their business; on the other side are the
creditors, those who furnish the capital
to the other class, and those who neither
borrow nor lend Would you legislate
solely for the benefit of the debtor class,
to the detriment of all the other side of
the line; or, on the other hand, would you
help only the lending class at the ex-
pense of the other! 1t is almost impos-
sible to cast vote in Congress on this
question without hurting one or the other
You ask why this is 50. 1t is because
the currency is in an unnatural and arti-
fetal condition. | am in favor of such a
policy as will make it impossible to toss
the business Of the country up or down
whichever way it may vote. Our cur
rency should stand upon the basis Of
trade, and be adjusted to meet the ne
cessities of Ike business of the country
1t should be so fixed that no Congress OF
President can come in and change il
from time to time, causing tiuctuatior
and uncertainty in all the channels o.
business. This point can never be
reached in my estimation, until our cur
rency is restored TO the solid value es
tablished by the Constitution and the
world. l am in favor of legislating slow
ly-it must not be attempted suddenly
and gradually bringing our currency VI
to the money standard of the world
when you can say to Congress: "StanC
out of our daylight; we can transact oul
business without your interference"
In conclusion he challenged the fulles
investigation of his career, and promised
to meet the accusations of his enemie
on the stump.
That condition of things referred to b!
General Garfield, so far as the Genera
Government is concerned, existed 70
years under Democratic Administrations
The financial policy of the General Gov
ernment sought no interference with val
ues. In obedience with the United State
Constitution the policy was to keep ou
currency to the specie standard withOu
uncertainty and without fuctuation, an,
hence without detrimental interference
in the business of the country.

ticularly directed to inducing the enforcement
OF the law OF Congress requiring the adoption OF
metric weights In postal matters; to the appica-
ton OF a system OF metric weights and measures
to Custom House duties and last to the adoption
OF q coinage which should be common to all cOun-
tries, though not necessarily interfering with the
general coinage oil the country. The difficulties
thrown around these reforms were apparently
very great, and the various committees which
subsequently reported progress asked Tor further
time IN which to perform the duties assigned them.
After the election OF new members resolution
was passed approving the efforts being made
among the architects engineers AMI builders to
agree upon the metric system OF weights and
measures TO take effect on the 4th OF July 1876,

American Geographical Society, Is about to make
his fourth journey to the Isthmus, through which

structed. The object Of the expedition is to make
o more careful and extensive survey Of the Naptpt
route than has been accomplished by previous ex-
petitions. The explorers who have gone there
feeling every step as they advanced slowly and
lnborlously, through the country, without maps,
roads or means OF transportation, Inhabited only
BY few struggling families OF Indians and marked
with almost lmpenetrable prlmeval forests.
The present expedition, equipped with maps
thus constructed by the former explorers, VIII
be enabled TO go directly to the spot where they
wish to commence their WORK, and BY cOnfnlng
their lab0rs to compa ratively limited area It Is
time all the data required Tor the construction Of
the projected canal. Members OF the expedition
will start on the 2d day OF January, on a Pacific
Mail steamer tor Aspinwal, where they win take
the United States steamer Canandalgua, which
will convey them to the Gulf OF Uraba ana furnish
them with transportation up the AtratO River to

may be looked for In May next Lieutenant Col.
