EvERErT HOUSE, Nov. o, 1876
To ruR BUSINESS MEN or NEW YORK.
Great pressure has been brought to bear upon the
National Democratic Committee TO call meeting this
day In Wall street OF the men engaged In commercial
ana financial pursuits in order 10 give to
their convictions In favor OF change in tho national
administration and OF the imperative necessity o, re-
form In public aairs But In view OF tho fact the
election takes place tomorrow and from reluctance
10 initiate tho bad example OF the rcpub-
lican managers OF usipg tho public property
OF the United States for party purposes IL has been
deciied to issue plain aud bret statement OF tho
facts which afford conclusive answer to the asscr
lions and claims Of Mr. Evaris, al the Cooper Union
Wednesday last, and OF Lot H. Morrill, the Secrc.
tary o tho Treasury. from the steps OF tho Treasury
Building the following Saturday. where Tor tho
first tmc IN tho history Of this or any otbcr country
the unseemly spectacle presented Of the highest
officer charged with the administration OF the anances
proclaming tho impending bankruptcy Of the
nation whose servant he is, In the event OF tho
success OF an opposing party, BY the voice OF the
people, In FREQ election, after full discussion held In
accordance with the fundamental law OF the land IL
was declaration that only tho party in power could
be trusted 10 preserve tho pehtsd faith OF tho nation
and that the payment OF tho public debt would not
stand tho test Of popular suffrage we hold
that the honor OF the nation IN the
keeping OF the whole people, and not OF any
one party. and that Is is attack upon
the public crcdit to suggest much doubt that
the result Of Presidential election mattcr how
may be decided, can weakcn In any way the obligation
to keep the alth OF tho nation plighcd to creditors
and soIemnly assured by an express provision OF the
constitution recently adopted. But to all such
declarations coming from Mr. Eva-ts, who is emf.
become eminent financial authority, oppose
the manly declaration OF Mr. Stewart Brown who has
for hall century upheld the commercial honor or
Now York. and OF Mr. Robert G. winthrop whose pub
&c and private career has justly entitled him to i'm
plict confidence in Europe and America Further
moro, oppose to such unfonnded aspcrsions
upon the good name Of our country that prido
which every American citizen feels IN its glorious
record OF national debt, already wico paid in full,
and in tho traditions we have Inherited from the
udor nf bp Rap nj n dabf ia mt
national blessing. II was reserved for republican
leaders TO discover this now doctrine in American
finance, which Will be rcpudiated by the full discharge
OF every national obligation now, as heretofore, by
the democratic party whom u shall come into power
concerned lest tho democratic party might not
sumo specie payments But they did not explain
sumcd such payments They have had ample op-
poruniy and abundant ability to perform the pledge
'.Thc OF tho United States is socmny pledged to
payment In coin or s equivalent OF all the obiica
tions OF the United states not bearing interest," known
United States notes, and of all the interest bearing
obligations OF the United Satcs except In where
the law authorizing The ISSUE OF any such obligation
! has expressly provided that the may be paid
| in lawful money or other currency than gold and
silver. But none Of SAID interest-bcaring oblga
| tious not already duo shall be redeemed or
paid bciors maturity, unless At such time United States
shall be convertible into coin the option OF tho
holder or unless ut such time bonds the nted
bearing debt lower ratio of interest than the bonds
be redeemed be sold at in coin. Tho faith Of
the United states is also solemny pledged TO make
provision the earliest practicable period for the
| demption OF the United states notes in coin"
The plain intent and moaning of this act WAS to
pledge the faith of tho United States 10 the rcdcmp
ton of tho United States demand notes before any
interest bearing should be called and paid OF. In
the face OF this pledge u 10 made matter OF boasting
that the republican administration has paid OF over
/ $780, O0O 600 Of the public dobt, while the demand
notes still at n discount OF ten per cont Nor
II be alleged in justification OF this breach OF iath that
the people have not supplied the Treasury with tho
| means to keep this solemn promise
since tho passage oil tho Public Credit act In 1869
the receipts gold from customs have amounted to
s145s $50 571 while the payments for interest
public debt have amounted to $ols,0 ,10 leaving
balance In gold Of $685. $50 available for tho pay
mont OF demand notes, which balance has been
SO applied but has been devoted To the payment of
the Of tho United States contrary
To law aud the best interests OF the country. And
yet these people talk Of the honor OF United States
beng safe In their hands alone!
Thcy also claim that the country has been prosper
Gus under their admin nistraton and actually Tho
assurance assert that tho business the country
is recovering, whom all know that IL is almost
in tho paralysis OF death Let tho following table Of
bankruptcies tho United States during the rcpubl-

this country abonndng In all the elements of wealth
and prosperly has been subjected by thcir improv:-
