ltudesof money, but we're printed on
copmon white paper, IN the ordinary
form Of drafts, and the most ignorant
person could not by any possibility have
ever been deceived and induced to take
them for money, &
Again, whatever they were-was any
one ever injured by them? If so, let
him now rise and explain or forever
after hold his peace. No matter how
they we're drawn lat sight, or lat sixty
days sight" they mere always promptly
paid on presentation in national funds.
If any man has one or more, or any
mum Der of these drafts of either the New
York Mine or the Iron Cliff Company,

pay such drafts, no matter what tne
amount, in GOLD, at the par face value:

| will tell you about this "little bill
that he says ws>imuggled through IN the
night by Tilden 1t was introduced IN
the Senate on the 9th of December, 1874
by the Hon. Il. Chandler, then Repuo-
lican Senator from Michigan, NOW Sec
rotary OF the Interior and Chairman OF
the Republican National Committed
The same bill was introduced in the
House BY Hon. Jay A. Hubbell, Repub-
Ilcap member from the 9th Michigan
District. 1t passed the House first, was
amended in the Senate, and the amend
ments were concurred in by the House
on the Sd of March, 1915.
About one million of the ten, con-
stituating this absurd illegal aud un.
founded tax, was claimed to be from nae,
and being in Washington for some weeks
ION visit of curiosity and pleasure), l
quite naturally did what little could as
n member Of the lobby, to get this little
bill through. That prince OF reformers,
Secretary Bristow, said and wrote every
thing he could to aid in passing the bill,
while Internal Rev. Com. Douglass, said
and did everything in his power to pre-
vent its passage. My own opinion is,
that honest Secretary Bristow discovered
through this very matter, what black
mailing scoundrel he had at the head OF
the Internal Revenue Bureau, and only
a few days subsequent invited him to
"step down and out"
When this "Reiet BilP passed, the
only persons in the House or Senate who
voted against 1t were Democrats
Now il any one believes the story that
Samuel J. Tilden declined TO advance
81, 300 when he could thereby aid him
self of liability to pay 500 OF h
Dor debt OF the Michigan Iron company,
in which this hidden scalawag says that
he, Tilden was n stakeholder and thereby
under the constitution and laws OF Mich
igan, legally liable for every dollar OF 1t.
i saw if any one believes it, particularly
in view of the large amount OF property
which he admits Mr.. Tilden owns right
mere in the Iron Cliff Co., and New
York mine, then such Credulous fools will
soon end up in an insane retreat.
Here, in Michigan, we do not think 1t
worth while to answer these absurd
charges against Mr.. Tilden. They or
iginated with persons calling themseivs
D,mocr ats, with view of defeating Mr..
Tidens nomination ut st. Louis. Re
publcans are more anxious To suppress
them than Democrats. Where the
facts are all known, rs here, the circula-
tonofsuch unfounded reports and charges
disgus:s hundreds of honest Republicans
to such an extent that they will be found
on the tin of November next with q
Tiiden ballot in their hands at the polls,
ready and anxious to vote for reform.
Mr.. Tilden never subscribed for one
dollar of stock of the Michigan Iron
Company, and knows as much about its
business as "A babe unborn, and all these
charges originate with office holders who
begin to see the handwriting,on the wal"
and who are like the thief who cries
"Fire! fire. fire. to distract the atten-
ton OF the public while he escapes his
pursuers'
