Some criticism is uttered on Mr.. Blaine
because in his speech on the finances he
did not propose definite plan for resump-
ton. BIT it must be recollected that he
and his party are now in the minority IN
the house. 1t is for the majority party to

amends it. or defeats it if possible. in case
they are not satisfied with it. Had Mr..
Blaine laid down a definite plan it would
surely have met with intense hostility
from the democrats and been defeated in
the house. He suggests the simplest and
easiest method. the one which was sue
cessfully tried in the early history .ot

portion of the greenbacks now call for by
the pledge they bear,-namely. funding
