financial questions Merely fnan-
cial questions ! AS if all questions in
volved In that description did not carry
with them tests of the moral power, the
honesty and the integrity Of the people.
There is no higher test of our fitness for
republican, government than the financial
test. A great people. forty millions strong,
can carry on war everybody knows that.
Summon them TO the defense of the nation
against domestic and foreign foes,
and we have seen that it is not difficult to
call one or two millions of soldiers into the
field. But when the care and excitement
of battle have passed, and the people have
returned home, to take up the implements
of agriculture and manufacture, to
toll for years to pay the debt, !
then comes the test, and insidious
demagogues como forward, to teach
US short ways to get rid of the bur-
den. There Is taught the moral stamina
of the people. You can fight, but can you
resolutely determine that you will pay
every dollar of your debt, according to the
terms of the promise that you will return
to- Il sound currency, based upon the econ
omic laws which have been acknowledged
by wise men since there began to be an
economic ecience? That is the great test
for this people. (Cheers)
We hear much said at times about the
great and mysterious, the great and puz-
zling problems OF financial science. These
difficulties vanish very much, when we ap-
ply 10 them some very simple tests. Tell
Inc truth, and fulfll your promises; do
that, and you will solve half Of the trouble.
(Choers) What did your bond say Read
it, and do IT, What does your loan or le-
gsl-tendor note promise to do, and what
did you promise to do, when you issued ii?
Do IT, There ie no mystery in it, no ex-
traordinary difficulty in It's performance.
hold il to he IN our political affairs per-
haps the highest of our many high duties
TO bring back or currency to u sound basis,
to resume specie payments (Cheers). And
it ia not aloHa as Il question OF the honor
and integrity OF the nation, but as our eter
nal prerequisite to the return of business
prosperity. Our business men are utterly
unable to make definite calculation in re-
gard to the future. They are waiting in
some measure the results of this campaign,
that they may decide upon their several
campaigns. And | can say to you also
that here ia q profound anxiety through
out the whole republican party that we
shall give new assurances to the country
that all its affairs are TO be administered
with high honor and integrity, and that
the sacred trusts of ofilce-holders In this
country are indeed sacred trusts, and are
not to be lrlled with by corrupt and de-
signing men. Cloud cheers)
do not in any sense despair of the re-
public or the republican party. The great
mass Of our people have in their minds
fidelity to every beautiful, every noble and
every high ideal. We have been upliftcd,
| under the providence Of God, within these
| fifteen years, to see new glory in the con-
stitution, and new glory in that flag and,
when the sanguine and hopeful and honor.
| able young man sees men IN high Office
| trifling with those noble duties, trading
| Offices and giving them to unworthy mer
| for low personal or partisan motives wber
he sees men in office winking at corruption
and overlooking it and pardoning it, be
cause Of partisan fidelity, he becomes dis
satisfied, and tnat general discomfort pre-.
walls now throughout this country in the
minds of our noblest men. and it must no
be diaregarded by this convention IL we de
sire success.
The convention was then addressed b.
Governor Noyes OF Ohio, Rev. Henri,
Highland Garnet of New York, William
