PANORAMIC VIEWS.
The Grant Platform of 1872 gays

L
During ezeUen gears of supremacy
the Republican party has accepted Nth
grand courage the solemn duties Of the
times"
Yes, the subjugation of eleven great
Commonwealth very solemn duty"
the enfranehisement of three million
slaves and the enslavement of ten million
whites-another very solemn duty.
Grind on, Mr.. Grant. You will yet
reap the fruit of an avenging revoiu-
ton. Your death ghost is down the
road.
The Pacific railroads, and similar
east enterprises hare been generously
aided and successfully conducted. "
Yes, millions of acres of public lands
crammed ia the nav of those insatiate
and terrific un-Paoife railroads. "Gen-
erOusly aided" by plundering the Fed
eral treasury, aad successfully con-
Quoted" by corrupting the public con-
science through Credit MObillier schemes.
"a uniform National currency has
been provided"
Yes, was provided" but soon retired,
and the swindling black back bank issue
substituted in It's place. The only uni
formity about the National currency is
in the high rated gains of the bond-hold-
ing class.
"T'He revenues hare been carefully col
lected and honestly applied"
Carefully collected" indeed, when
twenty-five per cent. of the amount was
stolen. The enslavod and humilia ted
South paid ninety three millions, and
the free, supercllious North paid seven
millions The storm-cToud of retrib1tivs
justice is gathering, MIR. Grant-lOok
out fre-fashes, announcing its coming,
skirt the horizon.
Great financial crisis has been
avoided"
The Year succeeding the date of this
statement the country was shocked by
a financial CT isis that shook to the centre
individual and National credit, all in
the interest of capital versus lator.
"Peoce and plenty sOilE rreoaR through
out the lana"
The "peace" of death and the ''plenty'
of poverty Productive industries doomed
to enforced idleness, millions of spindles
hushed into painful stiffness, millior
and half of workmen unemploye ed
throughout the States, and their wives
and furnishing children begging bread
The rich bond holder is now beyond the
reach of the tax-gatherer, while the
poor farmer is bankrupted for non-pay
ment of taxes.
I'VE con tfdently expect that our excel
! lent National currency 1CiLL be pe1.feotet
by a speedy resumption Of specie pay
nlsRts
Excellent National currency p s.
excellent that it has been called in t,
have gold IN its place. What a farce
Twas contraction that was so "exeel
lent" This is the Had of all on
woes. The public debt has been in
creased by selling government bond
for gold, that the gold-lords might ge
gold interest on the gold-bearing bonds
The truth is that the Grant government
is run to the profit of the monied elias
at the expense of the laboring million
of the country. Down with such a
anti> Republican and tyrannieal rule il
National affairs A constitutional NOR
archy is far better than such an unrigh
eous alliance of freedom in form wit
the kingship of money in fact. On
ancestors threw off the yoke of Georg
III because ne willed to fasten upon tn
colonies the aristocraey of caste, an
now we are summoned to dethron
Grantism, as the Representative of a GRASP
ing close-corporation of Ameri can an
foreign bOndholders.
