| been known to change even parties change
sometimes, but it is the Toast of Governor AL
len that in public affairs he never made mis-
take, and that he was immutable. How now
Is he making good ready for Pendletonian CT
fort for the Presidency:
Germany is perhaps the greatest Nation in
World except the United STATES. Since OUR
War of the Rebellion she has passed through a
gigantic WARRIOR the same reasons we fought,
for self preservation. 10 carry on that war
she contracted a large national debt, not SO
great as onrs, perhaps, because her war was
not so protractcd as ours, but pvoportionately
so. Her debt was to be paid, like our own, but
has her statesmen deemed it necessary to issue
an inflated currency, which means one thing
on its face and another in the uses OF the com
mcrce of mankind? No. You may take a
bank note issued in Germany to any bank in
the empire and get gold and silver for it at its
face on demand.
Why? Because the Government and people
of that grand Nation recognize their obliga-
tions to mankind and to each other they are
proud Of theiE country, jealous of their credit
and honest hi the fulflTment of their private
and public CONTRACTS. They know that their
will soon wipe out he last vestige of their war
and then they will be still prouder, still more
powerful and still more prosperous.
Now, then, have the Germans a more pro-
life country than ours have they more re-
sources Of better form of Government? You
will al! agree with me that they have not, but
they have one blessing which we calfnot
boast Of from the very nature of thngs-they
have no denagogues, whose pabulum is wind,
and whose patriotism begins and ends in self
assertion.
The same may be said of France as to her
currency. Although broken down by war and
distracted for many years by changes OF gov
eminent, and suffering from feeling of inse-
curity growing out of the ambition of fractional
leaders, her standard of values is gold coin, and
her bank notes are not what the Ohio Democ-
racy would fain make ours-National lies Cir
culating to deceive the poor and the strangers
within her gates.
Fellow-citizens, we must protect our own
credit, both at home and abroad we must be
honest to our obligations, for if we are not we
can not expect to win the respect and conf
dence of mankind.
