CHANGE TIE ONLY REMEDY.

Doyounot perceive, my fellow citizens,
that for all public wills your only remedy
is in change Of administration This
you know, that when a party has been
long In power and controls great patron
age and large sums of money, all adven-
turers ana those whoseek to make money
out OF politics work their way, not only
within its ranks, but into positions of in
tiuence and party control. Naturally
enough, they become active managers.
giving their money literally, and by
taking charge of primary elections and
Conventions, they control, in many in-
stances, the nominations. Their hold is
hard to break, and it becomes the inter
est Of politicians to conciliate rather than
fight them. That is the reason, as SUP
pose, why it is so difficult, if not impos-
sible, for party to correct abuses and
evils within its own organization That
you are convinced there should now be
change of National Administration It can
not question. Such changes are made
upon assurances of better conduct and of
measures more consistent with the inter-
ests of the people. You may be misled,
but inal efforts at reform W must trust
each other somewhat. Deceived, dsap-
pointed and dissatisfied, will you avail
yourselves of your only remedy? | ap-
preciate the fact that former convictions,
preiudices and associations stand in the
way of thousands of good men whose
sympathies are with the Democracy and
Liberals upon the pending questions. |
cannot doubt that their present convic-
tlons in respect to the welfare of the
country will control their action. They
know that even in times of the most bit
ter conflict they respected many of the
sentiments of our party, especially those
in earnest sympathy with the interests
ofthe masses of the people. They can
not and will not remain separate from
the organized body of men that will give
these sentiments practical force and
meaning. They know that our princi-
pies will endure ard bring practical re-
suits May quote myself in saying that
organizations may be broken and pass
away, but Democracy cannot die. 1t is
endowed with the Immortality of truth
and right Wherever, in all lands, men
aspire to higher, freer, better government
and purer liberty; wherever there is the
sentiment that the Government is made
for man. and not man for Government,
there is the spirit of democracy that will
endure and achieve mans enfranchise-
ment and elevation" He was a great
man who said: "There can be no free
Government without democratical
branch in the Constitution" May l not
add: There can be no free policies or
administrative measures promoting popu.
ar rights without the democratical ele-
nent and sentiment"

VICES IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE.

Closely connected with the cxtrava-
gance is the immortality which pervades
the public service. This, too, calls for
your attentive consideration, and your
sincere efforts at reform. 1t impairs
your revenues, and dsturbs public conf
deDce. Need | par,cuIarize? 1t is
known to you, at least in part. What
department is free from taint? In the
Post Office Department it extends from
the conspiracy to dettaud the Govern
ment in the mail lettings, involving i'm
mense sums, down to the petty pillering
in the repair OF mail bags in the neigh
borhood Of the Post Office at Indiana
polls. The Treasury Department has
been singularly unfortunate, Duringthe
four years in which Mr.. Guthrie was at
its head, there were no defaults, and
there was no money lost but of late
years long lsts of defaulung officers have
been published and recently large mum
bers of officers in the Internal Revenue
Service have been detected in complca-
ted and enormous frauds The De-
partment Of Justice, under the manage
ment of the late Attorney General, be.
came the instrument of injustice. Cruel
in its political prosecutions, and unscru-
pulous in the use of public money for po-
litiCal purposes, it became the object of
general suspicion and distrust, Arkan-
sas and North Carolina were the scenes
of its most audacious misappropriation of
money. viii it be proper for me to
speak of the Interior Department? An
Ohio man is at its head. ! will speak of
the Indian Service only. In former Ad-
ministrati )ns the entire cost of that SER
vice was but about $3,000,000, when the
Indians were more numerous than now.
During Mr., Lincoln's Administration
that was about the cost of the service.
In his message of December 1868, he SAYS
that for the prior year the payments on
account ofpensiOns and Indians amount
ed to $4,2l6,520 70. | suppose the pen
sion list was then something above one
million, leaving the Indian expenditures
three millions The last official report
shows the expenditure for the Indian
service alone So 1892, AGA ,209. 1t has more
than doubled. For improved adminis-
tratiOn you would pay more money, but
where are the fruits ofthe large expendi-
ture? Both the Government and the
Indians are cheated in the quality and |
quantity of clothing and food furnished
and in the false accounts that are allowed |
and paid. An army officer stationed last
wintyr at the Red Cloud Agency thus
describes the situation and scene: "The |
Indians are all quiet now. The poor
wretches have been several times this
winter on ntheverge of starvation through |
the rascality of the Indian ring. They |
have been compelled to eat dogs, wolves !
and ponies" Did you read the. descrip- |
ton of the dramatic scene in the Interior
on the first day of last June
as given in the dispatches? They want
ed the Black Hills country. The Indians
were brought in for negotiation. On that
day they were in the Secretary's room.
The Secretary was there. A Bishop was
by his side. The Indian Commissioner

EXTRAyAGANT EXPENDITURES.

As connected with and having very
important influence upon the business
and financial condition Of the country, it
is my duty to call your attention to the
eXtavagant expenditure of money by
the General Government. The last re-
port Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
shows that for the year ending June 50,
1874, the ,"net ordinary expenditures,
exclusive Of the public debt" amounted
to S285,738,8OO o. The interest paid
that year on the public debt was $l07,-
lI98l5 2l; the amount paid on pensions,
$29;l38, Ala 68, making together $l36,l5S-
229 81. Deduct the interest and pen
5ions from the net expenditures, and
there remains $l40,480,570 81. That
sum representa- the ordinary payments
for one year after deducting every
thing thai resulted from the war. have
seen it stated that the expenditure for
the same purpose during the last year
amounted to about $l45 100000, but i
am not able to speak accurately, as the
Secretary has made no report for that
year. Before the war the ordinary eX-
penditures were from sifty to sixty mil
lions, sometimes going above that, be-
cause Of extraordinary demands Do.
you not think two dollars for one, or.
about one hundred millions, ought to be
sufficient? Yet they no* require nearly
three to one. Favoritism always costs
the people heavily, but it seems strange
how preteXts can be found for $l00,000,- :.
900. Will you vote to indorse such ex-
penditures?

most important staples in our exports, at
some times exceeding all other commod-
tiles. Since the close of the war it has
been the suggestion of wisdom TO en-
courage their production in the largest
possible quantities, as 1t has been the
dictate Of Vhuua.lity, Chfistianity and
patriotism, TO promote reconciliation and
harmony between the sections. But
political and partisan interests have been
made paramount to humanity and the
welfare Of the country, Bad Govern
ments have been established and, as far
as possible, maintained In the South.
Intelligence and virtue have been placed
under the dominion and seryitude Of ig-
norance and vice, Corruption has borne
sway; public indebtedness has become
frightful, and taxes too heavy to carry,
and development crushed, and enter
prise manacled, In word, it has been
the government Of hatred, and all this
that party might bear rule" They have
nourished the noXious plants of corrup-
ton, violence and fraud in Louisiana
and other States, rather than the cotton
plant and sugar-cane. Agriculture can
not flourish under bad laws, corrupt ad-
ministration and cruel taxation. sup
pose it is entirely clear to your observa-
ton that had State authority been respec-
ted in accordance with the Constitution,
ahd the people been left in the con-
troll of their domestic affairs, without
prejudice or denial of right to any class,
in accordance with the Constitution,
greater harmony would have prevailed
between the races, prosperity would have
returned to those communities more
rapidly, and the production of the great
staples would have been much more
abundant. Then our valuable materials
ofexport would have been in larger sup
ply, and, as consequence, our supply of
gold more reliable and perma ent, and
specie payments nearer possibility,
individual happiness and the general in-
terestsofthe country have been sacrificed
to party policy. Harmony based upon
justice, and the protection of the rights Of
all classes must be restored. Prosperity
will follow, as pure water flows from a
pure fountain.
The general paralysis of business and
employment, and the distrust Of useful
Investments because of shrinkage in val
ues, as well as the condition of our cur
rency have brought about difference of
opinion among Democrats. | think
these differences may be adjusted.
/ have heretofore expressed the opinion
that wise craftsmanship may avoid the
extremes ofa contracted currency, cramp-
ing enterprise and labor on the one hand
and Of an inflated and deprecated cur
rency on the other; that they are the ex-
tremes of gluttony and starvation, and
that health and strength will come of
neither. | have an unshaken conf
dence that the National Council of our
party will 50 adjust these differences as
to maintain our ancient doctrine in favor
Of a sound and stable currency and of
policies in accordance Herewith, and
with a return to specie payments always
in view and at the same time avoiding the
disasters which would inevitably follow
contraction,

ging employment. Month by month
the shadows grow and darken over the
land.
When evil become intolerable the rem
edy OF the people is in change Of Ad-
miuistration. That Is your policy, even
in single life. You do not continue an
agent under whose management your
capital disappears and your debts increase
And even when you do not see the causes
and cannot locate tho fault, you will or

that no change should be made In their
State platform they declare to you that

his Administration" President Grant is
entitled to the gratitude Of his country
men. If, indeed, that is sincerely stated,
and you really regard his Administration
as separated from all others by its supe-
rior qualities and extraordinary excel

The party that now seeks continued
power is responsible for the two great
impediments in the way of resumption.
By strange and questionable devices they
have sought to make our debt foreign
instead of domestic debt. The conse-
quence is that every payday large sums
in gold are send abroad to pay interest
coupons. Thered blood flows from the
veins and arteries of the country. Ire
land was impoverished by her landlords,
who expended their rents abroad. Cheap

the wages are sent back in gold to China.
