rpeecl, on the financial evils under which
the country suffers because Of Republi-
can rule, have given Eest to inquiries a.
to several Of his financial operations.
Among these operations thGrs is one that
bears poinledly on the question Of hard
aud soft money and at the same time also
on the issue Of moral REFORM. we win
explain this operation as follows:
Anyone who has been uPinthc Lake SUI

ha. pahl no tag. The whole amount Of
CURRENCY thus Issued in Lake Superior BY
IN, various companies was over $780,.
OOOOOo, and ii had an exclusive run
tram 1868 until 1874, when some persons
wcrc Indicted for countericiting it, and
IN, courL discharged the prisoners on the
cround that tho currency itself was
fraudulent and illegal, and it was no
crime to counterfeit It. AT the sAme
time tho revenue officers began 10 dc

IN take evidence as to the amount in cir.
culution. The tax was ten per cent; and
for twelve years amounted to at least
$4,000 900. But by nome secret mAuip.
