The Republican Record on the
Currency Question.

The record Of the Republican par
ty on the currency question commits
it dir city TO the resumption Of specie
payment at the earliest practicable
moment. This is not only the policy
of the party as enunciated in its ma
tional platform. but it is equally
committed by It's public speakers and
through its presses. In 1864 the
Republicans declared in their nation
al platform that it was the duty OF
every loyal State to sustain the cred
itand promote the use Of the national
currency, and that the national
faith, piedged for he redemption ~
M' national debt, must be kept invi-
olstn.' Now the inhationists propose
10 weaken that credit and violate
that faith.
The last national convention of the
Republican party. at Philadelphia, in
June. 1872, declared:
I'VE dcnounce the Reputation Of
the public debt in any form or dis
guisc as national crime. We con
identlv expect that our national
currency will be perfected by a
2'ee'iy resumption Of specie pay
nca,ts."
Upon that declaration the Repub-
lican party appealed to the country
and was sustained. 1t was accepted
and indorsed by the people then as
safe and sound policy, and it is
safe and sound to-day, and
any serious attempt by the party
leaders to change front now would
be disastrous. They would f d they

ture indorsed the State Rights plank
Of the Anti Monopoly platform by the
adoption Of last winters railroad leg

and it is declared that the State hav-
ing regulated fares and freights by

propriety in the United States at
tempting similar Legislation. Such
wilfully blind leaders Of the blind will
al fall in the ditch together. When the
courts have already decided that in
the case Of interstate commerce the
legislation Of neither State can avail,
what are we to do but fall back up
on the United States? No one doubts
but under constitutional restrictions
States can legislate concerning these
matters SO far as conducted wholly
within the boundaries Of the common
wealth so legislating. But this is only
